My favorite: the reveal! These two are so perfectly matched, that it felt like a true privilege to witness & document this incredibly sweet moment.
Ashley is my soul sister…succulents!! Yes, please!!
I was crazy about Ashley’s veil…for images like this:
Such a fun group of guys–this was a first and it’s just awesome! *heel click*
I loved it when Ashley took a moment to look at her maids with love and gratitude. It’s so refreshing to work with a group of girls that are so close and that take their role as bridesmaid seriously…they were helpful all day long and made sure the bride had everything she needed. I love it.
Ashley!! You are stunning! Beyond gorgeous! I can’t stop with these pics of you! I love photographing you…you are such a natural beauty, inside and out. 
Such a grand entrance for our girl and her Dad! A fairytale on every level!
Narrowing down these images was painful. I’m just going to admit it…I was obsessed with the light, this gorgeous couple, their way with the camera…I seriously had to muster up some MAJOR self control and make myself stop shooting so Ashley & Mitch could join their reception. I would have photographed them until the sun went down if I could have! True story, right Ash?
In case you were wondering, love looks like this:
Detail heaven here…lace, linen, cage lights, florals, and chandeliers and chalk boards? I die.
This pair of images ranks among my fave of all the detail shots. Brilliant work by all creatives here-just perfection!
Kakes by Karen…need I say more? Gorgeous, delicious…I can still smell those cupcakes! 
Ashley & Mitch: It is bittersweet to know that your wedding is over because I will miss you so much! I couldn’t be happier for you two to be married and enjoying life together. I hope these wedding images will always bring you joy, laughter, happy tears and memories of a truly amazing day for all who were lucky enough to be there. I am so very honored to have been a part of it all, and I LOVE seeing you at other weddings-you light up the room and it makes me so happy to stay in touch with you! Thank you for everything and for rocking the camera…you were an incredible pair to photography. I loved every minute of it! xoxoxoxo
Love,
