Ashley and J.D. - June 6, 2015

When you have weddings on back to back weekends, have one be Ashley and J.D. Like the couple from my last post, Ashley and J.D. were super sweet and easy to work with. Maybe it was they knew the vision of their wedding and that made my job easier or that they were very much in love and ready to be husband and wife. 

That's such an amazing part of my job, seeing the couple go from planning fiances to joined as husband and wife. They couldn't stop smiling and being with each other. I am thankful they let me be a part of their day and make it memorable and perfect. 

Ashley was beaming in her gorgeous lace dress. I don't like to pick or say favorites but I will say Ashley was up there. She looked gorgeous. Loved the hair, boots, makeup. All! The bridesmaids completed the wedding colors with their teal dresses and bright bouquets. J.D. and his groomsmen were handsome in their khaki suits and boots. Ashley combined rich colors with bright summer colors so well! The tables centerpieces were simple and displayed pictures of the sweet couple. 

The reception was another great one thanks to the music of Krystn from Absolute CS Music. She does a fabulous job and really gets guests dancing. New vendors, Franks catering and 73Photography {Jordan Smith} were great to work with. The BBQ dinner was delicious and Jordan got some great photos {see below}. A glowstick send-off sent the loving couple on their way into happily ever after.

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Gwinn!

Carly and Preston - May 23, 2015

This couple was the sweetest from the time we first met. Carly is precious and probably one of the sweetest people I've ever met and Preston is a quiet gentleman. They were both very easy going and had a simple wedding day visioned: an early afternoon wedding with close family and friends.

Carly's colors of coral and gold brightened up the dreary skies that eventually opened up to a heavy shower - as the couple was exiting their ceremony! This didn't phase them as the couple and wedding party waited it out and then got some great photos by the talented Lauren Cater and Micah Reuss. Carly was stunning in her lace gown and her bridesmaids looked comfortable and sweet in their coral dresses with ivory bouquets from Unforgettable Floral. Preston and the groomsmen were dashing in khaki slacks with fun suspenders. Their pop of color came from matching coral ties.

Guests were patient until the delicious dinner of salad and fresh from the oven pizzas were served by Napa Flats. Can't forget the delicious appetizer of shrimp, dip, and bread. Yum! Absolute CS Music created a great vibe for the afternoon reception.

A fun personal touch the couple added was at their send-off. Since it was only early evening, it was too bright to do sparklers or glow sticks. Carly came up with the idea to toss popcorn! Apparently it's a very popular snack for the couple and was perfect for their wedding!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Scott!
