Ashley & Joe had an absolutely beautiful summer wedding day! I couldn’t have been happier to witness this wonderful lady join her life with a man who makes her so happy! Ashley and I went to high school together, and though I was a couple of years ahead of her, we became good friends through tennis, and her wedding was an extra special one for me to document! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started off for some quick bride prep coverage at the couple’s beautiful new home, and headed straight to the Aviary for Ashley to get into her gown!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple opted for a First Look, and we were able to photograph all of their portraits prior to their beautiful outdoor ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bride and groom chose a subtle travel theme for their reception, and the decor was simple and classic – this space looked just beautiful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cocktail hour was held inside of the Aviary’s atrium, with a surprise visit from DJ the penguin for a photo op with the couple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tented reception was so much fun! I loved watching these two interact – Joe brought Ashley’s hand up to kiss more times that day than I could count – they’re the absolute sweetest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
