Where do I even begin? I have been capturing Ashley’s family for at least 10 years. Senior portraits and headshots for all three sisters.,Christmas Parties and family events for her parents, her sister Jessica’s Wedding, her aunt Colleen’s wedding and now her big day. It’s hard not to feel like a part of the family when you’ve experienced so many special milestones together.
For their engagement session in February they chose to use the venue location. And while it was the middle of winter and the greenhouse was still under construction, the space did not disappoint. We exictedly talked about all big plans to come. Fast forward to this weekend…
Cameron and Ashley decided to share private vows before the ceremony so they met in the field in between the the two houses where they were each getting ready. The tension had been rising all morning, as it does at every wedding. But it was instantly released the moment they saw each other, share a hug and reminded each other why they were here.
With the recent passing of Ashley’s sweet father, there were many moments where mom stepped in. She walked her down the aisle and danced the first dance. Her sisters too were there to fill the void and we all felt his presence during speeches and cheers. We all knew he was so proud looking down from his front row seat all day.
Our happy couple now shares a wedding anniversary with her sweet grandparents and they honored them and all the married couples with a special dance during the reception.
Then things got a little rowdy. In the best way possible. Ashley’s brother-in-law Tyler and Cameron battled it out to give her a lap dance. Everyone passed around the bourbon direct from the bottle, cigars came out along with late night french fries and the evening was a complete success.
You guys! Thank you for welcoming me into your family so long ago! I look forward to all the future celebrations! Until next time!!
