Haley & Trace

A red barn, a ceremony beneath the trees, and sunset over the water. Haley and Trace’s wedding at Rayshell Ranch in Loxahatchee gave us a little of everything to photograph—from the quiet getting-ready details to a lively celebration with their guests. The ranch’s bridges, greenery and animals became part of their story.

A ranch setting with its own character

The red barn is one part of the visual story at Rayshell Ranch. Around it, the shaded ceremony space, open lawn and bridges over the water gave Haley and Trace’s photographs a changing backdrop. We photographed the place through their day, from the barn doors before the ceremony to portraits along the water later on.

Soft colors, personal details

Blush flowers, ivory shoes and the lace of Haley’s gown brought softer textures into the rustic surroundings. Her bridal portraits used the vintage sofa and warm interior details, while Trace’s portraits moved outside into the greenery and around the barn.

Beneath the trees

The ceremony space was framed by a wooden arbor and a canopy of branches. From the aisle, the photographs show both Haley and Trace together and the guests gathered close around them. After the vows, we stayed in that leafy setting for a group photograph and a few portraits of the newlyweds.

Around the ranch, into the evening light

The portrait session moved from the green lawn and black bridge to the white bridge and the softer light at the end of the day. There was space for playful photographs as well as close portraits. The farm animals added another unmistakably ranch moment to the collection.

A celebration with everyone close

The reception photographs brought us back to their guests: a shared moment at the sweetheart table, a room full of raised hands and a final kiss along the barn. Together with the portraits, those moments show how the day felt to the people who were there.

Planning your Rayshell Ranch photography

If portraits by the water or with the animals are part of your wish list, let us know while we build your photography timeline. Animal photographs should be coordinated with the venue team, and we’ll plan around the spaces and light available that day. A few minutes for evening portraits can add a different feeling to a collection that begins in the shaded ceremony area.
