Ashley and Joe’s wedding

I couldn’t help but have a smile on my face the entire time I was shooting Ashley and Joe’s wedding.  They are one of those couples who are just completely smitten with each other and could not wipe the huge grins off their faces all day long! Ashley’s dress got pretty dirty…she didn’t care.  It was pretty hot outside…no problem.  It rained for a little while right before their outdoor ceremony…no worries! The power even went out…no big deal! Man I love an easy going couple like Ashley and Joe!

Ashley graduated from Auburn, and Joe from Samford.  They met when they both first started working in the pharmacy at Walgreens…actually meeting for the first time on Joe’s birthday!

They decided they did want to see each other beforehand, so we set up a nice little meeting on the front porch of the beautiful Magnolia Manor in Helena, AL.

After taking a few shots in front of the house, we hoped in my car and drove up the road just a little bit to a park! But first we made a quick stop by the railroad tracks! We were on there all of about 3 minutes before we heard a train coming! Joe twirled Ashley around one quick time before we had to hop off!  (Maybe I should reconsider putting the lives of my couples in danger…)

We turned quite a few heads of the families who were swimming in the creek and by the waterfall…all watching in admiration of how happy these two looked!

We got back to the house and took some bridal party shots.  What a fun group of people they were as well.

The rained stopped just in time for the ceremony to be held outside!

The reception followed under a large white tent filled with white christmas light strung all around!

Ashley and Joe are actually waiting a week to go on their cruise, as they are moving to a new city and are going to get settled in before they hit the seas! Congrats to the bride and groom! Thanks for showing me the look of two people who clearly adore each other! Makes my heart happy!
