Diana & Ryan’s Magical Winter Wedding

Oh, where do I even begin with Diana and Ryan’s GORGEOUS winter wedding?! From the moment we arrived at the beautiful lakeside villas in Celina, the day was filled with magic, joy, and so many moments that felt straight out of a storybook.

We started the day with getting-ready photos in these dreamy villas overlooking the Grand Lake. The soft light streaming in through the frosted windows was just perfection. Diana was absolutely radiant in her bridal suite, surrounded by her girls who were the sweetest hype team ever! Meanwhile, Ryan and his guys were having the best time in their villa, already setting the tone for a fun and eventful day.

After everyone was ready, we headed outside to take photos by the frozen lake. The air was crisp, the trees were dusted with frost, and the whole scene felt like it was wrapped in a winter wonderland. After arriving to the Venue, Diana and Ryan had their first touch—a quiet, emotional moment where they exchanged the sweetest gifts and shared a little pre-ceremony magic without actually seeing each other. Cue all the happy tears.

The ceremony itself was one for the books. Held in a cozy, intimate setting, it was heartfelt and deeply personal. Diana and Ryan shared their own beautiful vows, lit a unity candle, and even included a foot-washing ceremony—a meaningful act of love and humility that had everyone feeling all the emotions. It was the perfect reflection of who they are as a couple: grounded, caring, and so connected.

Once the ceremony wrapped up, we hopped on a party bus (yes, it was as fun as it sounds!) and headed off-site for wedding party photos and portraits of the new Mr. and Mrs. Koogler. Let me tell you, their bridal party brought the energy and kept everyone laughing, even in the chilly winter air. And Diana and Ryan? Total naturals in front of the camera. They were glowing, so in love, and down for any shot I threw at them.

After photos, we returned to the reception, and WOW—what a party! From heartfelt speeches to a packed dance floor, their family and friends made sure this celebration was unforgettable. The night ended in the most magical way: a sparkler send-off! As Diana and Ryan walked through the twinkling lights, surrounded by their loved ones, it was the perfect grand finale to an already incredible day.

Diana and Ryan, thank you for letting me capture your fairytale wedding day. Your love for each other is so inspiring, and I feel so lucky to have been part of this chapter of your story. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Koogler! Here’s to forever.
