The absolute BEST thing about what we do is capturing JOY. Lucky for us, Ashley and Jacob’s beautiful wedding at the Lazy Oaks Resort was FULL of it! From the moment we arrived, Ashley was grinning from ear to ear. She was so incredibly gracious and welcoming as she sat on the porch in the mountain air getting her makeup done. And you know what? That happy smile didn’t fade once throughout the course of her day! One thing was very clear – it was the best day of her life because she was about to marry the love of her life. Ashley & Jacob are one of those couples who just light up in each other’s presence. It’s clear in everything they do that they’re meant to be. In their vows, they each spoke of specific moments in their relationship when they knew they’d be together forever and the many ways that they’ve helped each other to grow. Our hearts couldn’t help but melt when Jacob said, “I’ll consider every kiss my greatest accomplishment.” We had SO many favorite moments from their gorgeous day – Ashley’s incredibly sweet “first look” with her dad, watching the newlyweds love on their pup Ruby and their darling first dance under the beautiful trees and sparkling bistro lights. Not to mention that fact that Ashley’s stunning dress, the beautiful location and all the amazing rustic details made the whole event an absolute DREAM to photograph. We couldn’t have enjoyed our time with these two any more and we’re so excited to share some of the highlights with you today!
