Ashley + Tyler  | Wedding at Celebration Farms | 7.9.2016

I've had the pleasure of knowing Ashley since she's been about 7 years old and this wedding was something that was very special to me!  I've been taking Ashley's photos for many years and met Tyler when we did their first round of engagement photos.  These two young people are absolutely the cutest couple I've seen in a long time and are absolutely in love with each other!

Ashley and the bridal party used the bridal room at Celebration Farms while getting ready on Saturday, July 9th, 2016.    After Ashley got her hair pinned up and make up put on, she put on her beautiful wedding gown.  Tyler was waiting for Ashley under the arches at Celebration Farms for their first look.  Ashley tip toed to Tyler down the beautiful stone walk way before grabbing hands and turning to take that first peak at each other!  Their emotional reveal proved to me that these two absolutely adored each other!  

The ceremony was held inside the Timber Frame Barn at Celebration Farms starting at 4:00 pm on July 9th, 2016.  The barn was decorated beautifully with the primary color being yellow and the bouquet balls at the front of the barn so gorgeous by Visions of Silk!  Family and friends filled the barn quickly and were just as emotional as I was when both the bride and groom ready their own wedding vows!  



The bridal party made their entrance into the double round barn and were cheered on by 350+ of their closest family and friends.  Shortly after entering, the bride and groom made their way over to the cake table to share their first piece of cake as a married couple!  The chevron cake was made by a family friend and was surrounded by amazing cake pops and cupcakes from Sweet Cheeks Tasty Treats  (Ashley's Aunt).  Dinner was catered by McElroys Catering from Winthrop and was some of the best food I've had at a wedding!  

After dinner, the wedding reception festivities began with the first dance with Ashley and Tyler, followed by father/daughter dance and mother/son dance.  The dance floor quickly filled up and the bride and groom moved into the dollar dance!  We will just say ... girls rule, right Ashley?!?!  Throughout the evening friends and family members stepped into our T Marie Photo Booth and kept us busy in the booth all night long!  Music was provided by a family friend, Jordan Sullivan, and he played some great music to keep everyone on the dance floor!    

Congratulations Tyler and Ashley!
