{Riverside Wedding Photographer} Ashley & Eric

STOP RIGHT THERE!! Please click play on the video below. Ashley and Eric danced their first dance to this song and it was the first time I had heard it. After the wedding I downloaded it and became obsessed. I thought it only appropriate to make it the soundtrack to my blog post of their wedding ;)

When I walked into Ashley’s bridal suite with my camera in hand, she giggled and asked politely, “Hey Kristen….what are you doing here?”

Bethany and I laughed, knowing the plan had worked. You see, Ashley was expecting me there on her wedding day, but as a guest! Her wedding photographer was my lovely friend Bethany Belle and when I found out Bethany was in need of a second shooter for the day, I was happy to switch my status from guest to photographer! Ashley had no idea about this until I walked in the bridal suite and I could tell that she was definitely surprised. Before I go further into detail about the day and the awesome couple, let me just say what a BLAST I had working alongside Miss Bethany, while we photographed our sweet friend, Ashley. It was like a big awesome reunion! :)

So you may notice that Ashley looks familiar. That’s because she is the lady behind Patterns on Walls a.k.a. the prop and wardrobe GENIUS behind The Fantasy Series. So I am sure you can only imagine how FAB her own wedding was. Well luckily, you don’t have to! Because the photos are right here :)

I love everything about Ashley and Eric. I love their style, their faith, their values (their kiss at the altar was their FIRST kiss!), and their love for each other. Perfect match doesn’t even begin to cover it. 2012-08-30_001 2012-08-30_002 2012-08-30_003 2012-08-30_004 2012-08-30_005 2012-08-30_006 2012-08-30_007 2012-08-30_008 2012-08-30_009 2012-08-30_010 2012-08-30_011 2012-08-30_012 2012-08-30_013 2012-08-30_014 2012-08-30_015 2012-08-30_016 2012-08-30_017 2012-08-30_018 2012-08-30_019 2012-08-30_020 2012-08-30_021 2012-08-30_022 2012-08-30_023 2012-08-30_024 2012-08-30_025 2012-08-30_026 2012-08-30_027 2012-08-30_028 2012-08-30_029 2012-08-30_030 2012-08-30_031 2012-08-30_032 2012-08-30_033

Citizen Cope has been one of my favorite bands for years – even seeing them at House of Blues in Orlando was unbelievable – they are addicting!

Great photography! Beautiful wedding!
