Right before the ceremony started, the dark clouds were rolling on one side of the sky while the sun was trying to peek through on the other. It started to sprinkle before the vows were shared and I think everyone if the heavens were about to let loose! Thankfully, the rain never exceeded a faint sprinkle and the ceremony was saved! Then, fast forward to right before introductions, I noticed that the sun may be peaking over the edge of the mountain and asked Blair and Ashley if we could squeeze in a few more portraits and being the sweet duo that they are, they didn’t hesitate! We took a beautiful portraits with the only strong glow we had seen all day and then, right as we got them inside, the downpour began. It was as if the entire day perfectly fell into place, at just the right time.

While I was super excited about the glow and the perfectly timed portraits earlier in the day, the real joy of the whole experience was getting to know these two. The more I learned about them, the more I spent time around them, the more I heard others talk about them…. the more I realized just how kind Blair and Ashley are. For example,  they wrote handwritten notes to EVERY single guest at their wedding…. and this wasn’t a 45 person event…. there were almost 200 guests in attendance! They had thoughtful songs, dances and gifts for their parents…. they wanted to be at cocktail hours to speak to as many guests as possible…. they included everyone on the family formal list because they know that it means a lot to be remembered. They are by nature, so incredibly thoughtful and we felt so honored that we were the ones who were chosen to photograph their day. Ashley is in the photography space and so she could have chosen ANYONE else… but she chose me… and I’m so grateful!

They ended their evening with memories for a lifetime and I went home with a collection of new images that I’m in love with and can’t wait to show the world!!!!

Enjoy my favorites, everyone!!
