Ashley and Stephen’s mid-August wedding was the third and final that we have photographed at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden this year. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I love weddings at this venue.  The White Garden is the prettiest and sweetest place for a ceremony…Ashley and Stephen’s was no exception.  🙂  A few of my favorite moments from the day:

+ We decided upon the hedges for their first look location, which was perfectly private and beautiful. The moment they saw each other was such a joy to witness.

+ The moment before it was time for Ashley to enter the ceremony, Stephen took this deep breath to prepare himself. The look on his face when he caught site of Ashley with her dad coming down the aisle was precious.

+ There were a lot of kids at their wedding….every one of them was both adorable, fun and well behaved.  Having them there was a delight.  🙂

Congratulations, Ashley and Stephen!  Love you guys!
