Ashley and Mike o8.19.o6

Ashley and Mike got married on a rainy Saturday afternoon this past weekend. The thing I loved about this couple the most is, nothing could dampen their spirits. They were going to get married out side even if they got soaked in the process. Thankfully they didn't have to dry their clothes after the ceremony. The rain held of for most of the night. A little drizzle wasn't going to get in this family's way of celebrating.

Ashley and Mike's friends offered up their backyard for the event. I couldn't have picked a better location for their wedding myself. With landscaping that took your breath away and property leading right down to the grand river, taking pictures was a breeze.

Here are a selection of images:

"Ok, I'm nervous now the dress is on!"

Cross processing at it's best!
I just love this shot!
Very cool details!

I came home today to this great note from the bride:

Hi Emma,

I just wanted to thank you again for everything that you did on Saturday to help make our day perfect. You made everyone feel so comfortable and relaxed and I know that that is exactly what will come through in the photos. Every time I thought, “oh, I really want a picture of this,” I would turn around and there you were. You did an amazing job and I am so grateful that I had you there.

The pictures on your website are stunning…it is going to kill me to wait 4-6 weeks to see them all.

Thank you so much!

Ashley
