Ashly+Kaseys Sova Garden Dream Wedding

From the moment I met Ashly I knew this wedding was something she has dreamed of her entire life.  But more than that, Kasey was a man who you could tell surpassed her dreams!  The two of them are so in love.  When a photographer has a couple as in love as Ashly and Kasey, it makes for a fun, easy day!

I’m almost certain that Ashly had every detail of this wedding designed and planned out for a very long time!  There wasn’t a single detail placed with out thought!  She did such a fabulous job putting it all together!

I wanted to say a special thank you to my fabulous photography team Meghan and Brian for a wonderful job well done!  I couldn’t survive with out you two sometimes!!!

 

WARNING!  All you softies, all you Daddy’s girls out there WARNING these next few photos maybe tear jerkers!  Ashly is really close with her Father.  It was such a touching moment for her Father to see his baby girl for the first time in a beautiful wedding dress.  

 

So for this next shot, think the movie Bridesmaids!  These girls played the parts really well!  How can you not take this shot when you have a pregnant bridesmaid??????  

I’ve seen this more often these days.  When a Man has a Woman as a best friend, childhood friend, sister or just someone really special to them (non romantically) and instead of putting them in the Bridemaid’s Party they have them on their side.  I really like this.  The wedding parties are meant to be filled with people you want to spend the entire day with, people that mean so much to you that you want them standing up beside you on this special day.

Just before sunset I like to pull my couples aside for a quick 5-10 minute “bonus round” the light is just so creamy and wonderful!!!  It doesn’t always work out but when it does, it’s amazing!  This night we took the couple into the sheep yard (I’m not sure if that is the official term for it LOL but you get the idea) and took a few shots out there in that dreamy “golden hour” light!


The romantic photos are often much much much more fun than they look!  LOL!  We usually spend most of the time cracking jokes and laughing hysterically and some how we end up getting all the “moody” “romantic” shots in between laughs!

I just LOVED this photo display!

I just love this!  Ashly LOVED LOVED LOVED her dress.  At one point she just started twirling around watching it float around her!  I think that is what so many Brides want to do when they are in their dress.  It’s unlike any dress most of us have ever put on!
