This just may go down as my favorite wedding of the season.  It had all the ingredients for a perfect wedding – an incredibly emotional ceremony in which I quietly wiped away tears as I was shooting, amazing toasts with the perfect mixes of laughter and love, a gorgeous (and cooperative!) bridal party, but most of all – a couple who is truly meant for each other.  Being around Ashley and Charlie for just moments allows you to see their connection, their balance, and their incredible love for each other… never mind the fact that they have chemistry for days.  I cried several times through their day, and as I went back through their pictures I lived it all over again… the smiles, the laughter, the love…. a perfect wedding.

Ashley and Charlie – Thank you.  Thank you for choosing me to be a part of such an incredible day.  Congratulations!

A big huge thanks to Barbara for second shooting!

Venue: The Log Cabin

There are some couples that are just meant to be together… and there are some couples I was just meant to meet.  Ashley’s mom lives across the street from C and I, and if I’m being honest, she’s pretty much the reason we bought this house.  We had looked at about 20 different homes, but as we were looking at this one she came over and introduced herself and told us all about the neighborhood.  It was exactly what we were looking for, and more.  So when she contacted me back in January about possibly photographing her daughter’s wedding I was thrilled.

When I met Charlie and Ashley, it went from thrilled to over the moon.  These two are so kind and sweet, completely in love, and gorgeous to boot.  When we met on Tuesday night at Elizabeth Park, Ashley said “we’re not models or anything…” Um, honey – I beg to differ.  I CAN’T wait for your wedding this September!!
