Meet Ashley

This Lock Stock & Barrel Wedding was so full of love and life. Family and friends came from all over to support and take part in Tim and Jordan’s special day.

When I did their engagement photos, they fell in love with with Lock, Stock, & Barrel and knew that they wanted to have their wedding there. They had a beautiful early autumn wedding, complete with perfect weather, an incredible sunset, lots of joy, love, and celebrating.

I love to get to know the couples I photograph, and it was truly a joy to get to know Tim & Jordan. They were pretty much a dream. Jordan looked absolutely stunning in her dress and Tim was so dapper! He surprised us all by cutting his hair right before the wedding, it looked great! They are so photogenic together (they made my job pretty easy).

They both warned me that Tim was going to get emotional during the first look, and he did! It was one of the most beautiful moments I’ve ever witnessed. And, one of my most favorite first looks to date! In fact, as soon as he turned around and saw his bride, he teared up and his focus never broke from her. Truth be told, I may have been tearing up from behind the camera. It’s what every bride (and photographer) hope for. You just can’t force that kind of love and emotion. Truly beautiful. First looks are my favorite.

One of the most important times of the day (for me, as the photographer) is right after the ceremony. I like to pull my couple away and let them have a moment. Think about what a once-in-a-lifetime feeling that is, right after you officially marry the love of your life in front of all your friends and family. So much emotion. Once, they have a few moments alone, I like to get portraits of just them. They are so raw and so authentic in that moment. Not surprisingly, the photos of Tim & Jordan together during the sunset are probably some of my favorite photos . . . ever. They are beautiful, sweet, gentle, and genuine. And isn’t that exactly what you want captured on your special day?!?

Here are some of my favorites from their day. (I may have been a little indecisive when selecting these for you all).

This isn’t something I get to do with every bride, but Jordan was perfect for it! Her fun personality really shine through here and it’s one of my favorites of her from the day!

I may have been geeking out during all of these photos. We had the most amazing glow during golden hour for these portraits. My assistant was cracking up at how excited I was. Hah!
