Tyler and Ashley couldn’t have chosen a more perfect fall day for their wedding! It was perfect. The sun was shining, it was warm and beautiful. Their love for each other was so amazing. Ashley wore the most stunning gown. A two piece from House of White. A sweetheart strapless with a quarter sleeve lace cover. It. was. perfection. She just looked so beautiful.
As soon as Ashley and her maids + momma were done getting Ashley into her gown, it was time for a first look with Tyler. This was just a bittersweet moment. He was seeing his soon to be wife for the first time. Her hair elegantly pulled up, makeup as beautiful as could be and a white gown to match the moment. It was just so beautiful. I remember Kalli and I both waiting for those tears but Tyler was actually just loving this moment. So was Ashley. This was a beautiful moment between these two. I couldn’t have been more happy that they chose to do a first look. They chose a large field across the street from their home. I mean this field was perfection. I remember watching Ashley as she made her way up to Tyler. Checking her veil several times. I know how much this moment meant to her. Kalli and I took our positions and let it roll. We gave them space so that they right in that moment, it would be just theirs.
They had an amazing ceremony. I knew that Tyler loved Ashley with all his heart. And Ashley loves Tyler with all her heart. But in the moment of Ashley walking down the isle to her future, it became so obvious that these two were absolutely a match from heaven. Ashley saw Tyler as soon as her eyes met his she was able to let it go. All of the love. anticipation. it just came out. She cried. I cried. I think everyone was crying. Tyler didn’t have to speak. Just stare at his beautiful bride. But when it was time to say vows, Tyler’s love for Ashley poured out. Then their little boy ran up to the stage, wrapped his loving arms around her and I think everyone in the church lost it for a moment. These two are an amazing team. Their children look up to them and adore Ashley so much! It melted my heart to be the one to witness all of it. My heart started beating hard and it took me everything I had {i’m pretty emotional!} not to stop doing what I was doing. After all, I needed to remain calm haha. I needed to capture these precious moments. Such beautiful moments.
This day was amazing. It was everything Ashley had dreamed of. These two were now married and the celebration could begin. Ashley had a gorgeous reception that was decorated beautifully and lit with amazing uplighting and candles. The florals in that room were so amazing. They were this perfect extension of her bridal bouquet. This day was just such a lovely day you guys! I will let these images speak for themselves here 🙂
Tyler + Ashley. You two are amazing. The love that you have for each other is also amazing. I’m so incredibly happy that you two chose me to document this special day in your lives. One that will be passed on to future generations. Your wedding book will hold so many cherished moments. It is going to be such an incredible heirloom. Thank you for being you. For trusting me with this responsibility. My heart melts each time I look through these images and I KNOW that you will be reliving this special day every single time you open your wedding book. It was such an honor to witness all of this day. To document it. To deliver it. Thank you to both of you for everything!
