The wait for a new wedding post is finally over and I hope you will agree that it was totally worth it. Nate & Ashley's wedding seriously might have been one of the most exciting weddings we've ever been to! We loved being there every moment of the day. It seemed like every time we looked around the corner we were seeing something new & exciting and full of sweetness & life! When it comes to weddings there is nothing we love more than working with an AMAZING couple (Definition at a wedding: A couple that is totally in love, totally enjoying every second of their wedding day and taking nothing for granted). Add in adorable details, a rockin' color scheme and a really fun style (Nate & Ashley's wedding: check, check, check, check, check, check!!) and what you get is an absolutely incredible opportunity for capturing some gorgeous moments with a camera.
This is one of the weddings I'm still telling my friends about weeks after the event and here are just a few reasons this wedding was so great:
1). First, this is the first (of I hope many) Apostolic weddings we have shot. That in itself was a new experience for us and I couldn't have had a better client to start with. Ashley was just a complete doll! Ashley's grandfather started the church where her father is now the pastor, First Apostolic Church of Knoxville. All of her and Nate's family members (plus every guest, bridesmaid, & groomsmen) were just so, so, so wonderful and friendly to us!
2). I LOVED the hair at this wedding! I have never, ever seen so many crazy awesome up-dos and these girls do their hair themselves! Look at Ashley's hair on the right! Awesome! But that's not all. Even a lot of the regular guests showed up with great up-dos, they were very contemporary looking and I loved it!
3). Call me a small town girl but this was our first wedding with over 650 guests. That is A LOT of people! Now picture this: 650 guests with a seated, plated, 3 course dinner and here's the kicker - with namecards!! Dan and I even had seats with namecards - so thoughtful!! All of this under a TENT!! Can you imagine how big that tent was!?! Ashley joked and called it her circus tent. It was all just amazing.
So with all of that talking up, I hope the pictures still speak for themselves! Here are some of our favorite shots of the day!! Enjoy!
Literally everything was red, blue or green. Oh this is one really cute part - I don't know if it was planned or what, but so many women guests were wearing green and navy or blue - her colors, like to show their support. I thought that was a nice, sweet touch. OK, I'll try to stop blabbing so much!
This is Ashley who you might also remember them from their fun engagement session. Such a natural beauty!
And here is Nate who looked so cute in his seersucker suit :)
This really might be my favorite picture of the day. Look at this wonderful happy couple and it was probably pushing 98 degrees outside!
We did all of their pictures and the bridesmaids & groomsmen pics at a park across the street from the church. It worked out perfectly.
The guys were funny...
...and the girls were really sweet!
Check out the intricate hair on the bottom left = LOVE!
Mmmm, love these next two.
This is Dan's fave.
Even though they saw each other before the ceremony, they were still so excited to see each other as she was walking down the aisle.
There were about 5 or maybe more pastors who 'married' Nate & Ashley. It was really sentimental. Here is her father, grandfather on the left and uncle on the right. Look at that smile on her grandpa :)
Yay, married! Moms, grandmothers and VIPs in the front row.
Look at all of this. I could seriously do a whole post just on details (this is just a small portion)! WOW, it looked great!
Ashley's brother Anthony is my new friend on Facebook. He was cracking us up all day!
Kind of weird but I love this picture because I think it perfectly describes Ashley's personality, just genuinely sweet and friendly...
The End!!! Congrats guys!!! Yall were great!!! Thank you so, so, so much for having us!! xoxo
