Gray Gables Estates Wedding | Ashley + Bryan

Ashley & Bryan’s wedding was nothing short of magical! This sweet couple surrounded themselves with incredible friends and family, making the day unforgettable. We kicked things off with capturing their getting-ready moments, setting the tone for a day full of love and laughter. Though the warm summer day took an unexpected turn with storms rolling in right before the ceremony, the quick change to an elegant ballroom setting proved just as beautiful. By the time they said “I do,” the rain had cleared, and the sun came out, giving us the perfect backdrop for stunning outdoor bridal party and couple portraits. What a day to remember!

Though the wedding day is about the couple, their daughter Hannah stole the show with her spunky personality and just plain cuteness!One of our favorite memories of the day was when Ashley & Bryan each read notes from each other and surprised each other with gifts. We both shed some tears as they were so heartfelt and it was such an honor to witness these special moments. The best part was when Hannah surprised her mom with earrings that Bryan got her.
