The man of your dreams has proposed, you said “Yes,” and now the wedding planning has begun. No one planned for a pandemic to sweep across our world.

Bryce & Ceira Lander Engagement — Virginia Ruth Photography
BRYCE & CEIRA’S LANDER ENGAGEMENT Captured by Virginia Ruth Photography Perhaps it’s because Ceira (the bride) was one of our former dance teachers at our Laramie Dance & Arts Center that we also own … perhaps it’s the historical flare she and Bryce chose when they selected their engagement shoot venue to be the Pioneer Museum in Lander … perhaps it’s the emotion Virginia Ruth captured in this beautiful shoot … or yeah, maybe it’s just all of that. Whatever it is, I LOVE these images … I can’t wait to see their wedding pics!! Congrats to these two lovebirds, and thanks to Ginny of Virginia Ruth Photography for sharing!
