After over two years of planning and the current crazy conditions, Michaela and Danny’s Ryland Inn Coach House wedding was a smashing success. I’m no stranger to winter weddings at the Ryland Inn. Run by the fantastic Landmark Venues, it is one of my favorite venues for a winter wedding. You can check out some of my other Ryland Inn Coach House weddings by clicking here, here and here. We had the most comfortable winter weather, everything went on time and the celebration was wonderful. An added bonus was getting to spend some time with Michaela and Danny’s puppy, River, who is the softest, sweetest little pup. Michaela and Danny’s style made them look like they were right out of a magazine. Michaela had an elegant look and Danny complimented it with a velvet suit, bowtie and shoes to add to the winter vibes. Danny was not afraid to pick up his beloved River while wearing his suit which I absolutely loved!
I started with the guys in the Pelham House…
Brothers!
Danny runs off to retrieve River when he realizes the door was left ajar…
Adorbs!
Love this awesome winter look for the groom. Danny looks like he should be in a wedding magazine.
Michaela and Danny’s invite was a beautiful watercolor of the Seton Hall University Chapel. I loved that they got married at Seton Hall where they met. I had an opportunity to photograph another Landmark Venues (Liberty House) couple’s wedding there just a couple years ago. You can check that out by clicking here.
Michaela’s niece decided to try on her ‘bride’ slippers for herself…
Nope!
Yup!
Michaela gets a little emotional after she gets into her dress…
As Michael and her mom leaned in to one another during an emotional moment, Michaela’s niece was fascinated by her dress…
Classic and elegant look…
A natural beauty!
While Danny was waiting for Michaela for the first look, her brother was peering out the window to watch…

The Ryland Inn is such a fantastic spot for a winter wedding…
I love this family portrait!

Hah!
Meanwhile, the kids be like…
I loved the synchronicity of the moms and their outstretched arms…
I love how kids will just got lost in their own little worlds of fascination…
Party’s over… time to make room for the bride and groom!
These are my favorite kind of family photos…
I gotta give this bridal party a lot of credit. Not only were they super cooperative, but they knew how to line up really well! I also love the blue velvet bridesmaid dresses with the black groomsmen suit jackets and shoes.
Michael and Danny totally look like a prince and princess here…
Add in a little Christmas twinkle…
Love all the joy that Michaela and Danny started off their Ryland Inn Coach House wedding reception with…
Party time!
The little one partied hard…
Until she fell asleep….
And then woke up again later after a some rest…
I love how Michaela and Danny’s nephew entering the frame on the right juxtaposes the joy of the image. It cracks me up because he was the most happy baby all day. Literally would ‘cheese’ for the camera, but I loved his little appearance in this moment. 
So happy that Michaela and Danny were able to have their long awaited Ryland Inn Coach House wedding. It was a perfect day from start to finish. Thanks to Brandan Calhoun for assisting me.
