Michelle & Ryan’s Hakone Gardens Wedding Photos

Here is a curated collection of photos from the Hakone Gardens wedding of Michelle and Ryan. It was an amazing day full of family, friends, and love.

Getting Ready Before the Hakone Gardens Wedding

Getting ready for the wedding is always such a special part of every couples wedding day. Michelle and Ryan chose classic and sweet wedding styles. Michelle looked so radiant and excited before the ceremony. We loved Ryan’s deep teal suit and white bowtie, such a fresh take on the typical grooms suit or tuxedo.

Hakone Gardens Wedding Reception

Michelle and Ryan’s Hakone Gardens wedding reception was such a blast. Our couple had catering from Homestead Catering, ice cream from Skoopzilla, and beautiful cake from Peter’s Bakery. There was awesome music from SKA Entertainment, dancing/touching or poignant speeches, and lots of love shared with friends and family. It was the perfect ending to an even more perfect day.

A Love Poem For The Happy Couple:

“I love you for what you are, but I love you yet more for what you are going to be.
I love you not so much for your realities as for your ideals, I pray for your desires that they may be great, rather than for your satisfactions, which may be so hazardously little.
A satisfied flower is one whose petals are about to fall. The most beautiful rose is one hardly more than a bud wherein the pangs and ecstasies of desire are working for a larger and finer growth. Not always shall you be what you are now. You are going forward toward something great. I am on the way with you and therefore I love you.”
