Real. Genuine. Happiness.
That's the best way to describe the entirety of Antreas and Ashlynn's wedding day. Despite the rain, despite the improvised centerpieces (extra special THANK YOU to Ashlynn's mom for fixing this issue in a pinch!), everything can be reduced to huge smiles, friendship, and true, unfiltered love.
When I met these two for the first time that day, it was obvious that they were surrounded by the people that they cared about most. Their friend group is very tight-knit, and every one of the bridal party said a few words to toast the couple at the reception. Watching the group sing the praises of these two as a couple really drove home to me that they were absolutely made for each other.
But more than anything, the truth of their love was written all over Antreas and Ashlynn's face all day long. These two are soulmates, no doubt about it. Just see for yourself! There were some hard-to-hold-back tears from Antreas when he saw his gorgeous bride, and Ashlynn's face is just pure joy in so many of my shots. True emotion is really the best gift to a photographer on a wedding day.
I was so honored to be a part of this wedding, and lucky to have gotten to be a part of such a special day. Even better, the sun finally did come out after dinner and we were able to use some of that beautiful light to capture these two in all their happiness! Congrats to the both of you! I couldn't be more excited for your life together!
