07.02.09 | Weddings |
| You may remember Ashley from me posting modeling shots of her. I LOVE photographing Ashley. She is so much fun, super cute and SUPER sweet.
When Ashley called to ask me to photograph her wedding in Iowa, I flipped. I was so excited to get to document her biggest day. Her groom, Brian, is awesome too!! We had a blast and I was amazed with all of the details Ashley came up with. This is her GORGEOUS home in the middle of the country. UH-mazing. |

|
  |
|
 |
|
 |
| Ashley! |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| I love this makeup shot. Nika Vaughan joined me on our journey to Iowa and did Ashleys makeup. Nika works with me on a lot of my fashion shoots and we had a great time traveling.....and gossiping! Ha. |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|

|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| Her shoes were pretty great! |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| She had placed pennies all over the steps for luck! Also, Ashley just loves pennies and she is goofy. Ha! I think that is why we get along so great!! |
