Ashley + Garrett.  What can I say?  I absolutely ADORE them.  These two have been through a LOT in the past 3 months and I’m so happy that they finally got the celebration they deserve.  COVID-19 shut everything down the week before their original wedding date, which was devastating.  We were SO CLOSE!!  After scrambling to reschedule their wedding celebration for June, they ended up getting officially married on their original date in Georgia.  I’ll be honest – I was sad I couldn’t be there to capture that beautiful day for them, but the photos were gorgeous!!!

Fast forward 3 months and they finally got the big celebration they wanted!  Skipping all formalities, Ashley + Garrett opted for a day that was laid back and focused on celebrating their marriage with all of their friends and family.  We did a short portrait session downtown before heading back to the venue for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing.  Surrounded by their closest friends and family, Ashley + Garrett danced the night away together – and I couldn’t stop smiling.  These two have had the BEST attitude throughout this experience.  It’s so clear that they absolutely adore each other and I just couldn’t have asked for a better couple to get back into the swing of things with.  Theirs was my first wedding back since March and it was an absolute BLAST!!  Hands down, one of the most amazing days in my career – all thanks to Ashley + Garrett, who have weathered this storm with the best outlook possible.

Congratulations Ashley + Garrett – and THANK YOU for allowing me to capture this celebration for you!
