Welcome to my blog
So this is a place I rant and rave, wear my heart on my sleeve, gush on my family, and most importantly share my art...the photo stories of wonderful couples and people I cross paths with. Don't be afraid to bookmark it, or leave a comment. I love hearing from everyone and anyone. Check back frequently...I will try to keep you updated.

Emily and Justin were married in Savannah at the Telfair Museum of Art. What a magical, beautiful place full of some fantastic pieces of art. The most well know piece, the bird girl, was guarding their fantastic cake all night. Emily's dress was a Vera Wang, and was the center of attention, at least mine ;)
Emily and Justin have dated for about eight years...patiently waiting for this day. They have put God first in their relationship and that is easy to tell with just a short conversation with Emily. I have had the pleasure of shooting both Justin and his brother Jonathan's (Jonathan + Lizzy) weddings and am so glad that there are other siblings left unmarried, because I can't get enough of this fantastic and charming family. I love watching as sibling's weddings take place. Both weddings were fantastic in their own right, and so different, as the two boys are. I am sure their parents are proud to have such God fearing kiddos, all grown up with fantastic wives to stand by them forever.
As usual, details to follow shortly ;)

Summer and Matthew were married at one of the prettiest places I have ever seen. The drive up was windy and crazy, but beautiful and memorable. This wedding had a whimsical circus theme that had fun written all over it. There were no bearded ladies, but party this crowd did!!
I will update this post with the details soon. I just wanted to get this up with pics first. I am so excited to show you this. Lots of thought and preparation and love went into this wedding and I believe you will agree...Even with 103 degree fever and strep throat, it was one of my favorites this year!

Blakely and Brian were married at 701 Whaley and had one of the most beautiful ceremonies I have ever seen. Blakely is one of the most creative people I have ever met. She seemed to have touched every detail about this wedding in some way. Whether it was her idea, or crafted by her, her touch was everywhere. From jewelry, to vows...the handcrafted feel was there. She cut out all the birds <freehand> might I add and you can see them on each chair end for the ceremony. She has a twin sis, which I think is really neat and intriguing (and another sis who is super too). Blakely + Brian chose to see each other before the ceremony which explains the embrace in the stairwell. They wrote their own vows and I don't know if there was a dry eye in the crowd. I will add vendor info in a bit...they had a bluegrass band which I loved...loved! And the cake...and the china...okay okay already!!
(btw...had to add this, when reviewing the shots I chose to show you...the groomsmen at the urinals was just us being silly...I could feel some Southern Baptists gasping ;)

Ashley you did an amazing job - absolutely beautiful!!
(08.06.10 @ 05:08 PM)Emily and Justin were easily one of my favorite couples. So genuine and truly, truly in love. These are phenomenal shots Ashley - youve captured both the museum's AND the couple's personalities without diluting the other. Fantastic!
