OK. I LOVE pretty things in general. When my husband and I are driving in the car I often randomly blurt out, "I LOVE weddings!" Because I do! The flowers, the smiles, everyone is dressed up, cute shoes (Jimmy Choo, anyone?) I love wedding dresses. The details. I love LOVE and seeing people happy and soaking in those amazing moments and memorizing what it feels like and what two people in love LOOK LIKE. Every time I see these images of Ashley and Sandy, I remember. I remember those exact moments and I can almost hear Ashley laughing as Sandy gives her THAT LOOK.

Ashley and Sandy's wedding was so memorable for me. I make such wonderful and genuine connections with my brides and Ashley and I hit it off right from the beginning. I felt like I was a close friend and had known Ashley and her family FOREVER. She and Sandy and their whole family were so absolutely amazing to work with! So I was so happy when they decided they wanted to get all dressed up again and shoot their session in a more personal and relaxed setting. It was such a blast and the weather was surprisingly perfect! They are such a beautiful couple and I loved watching them BE IN THE MOMENT! Here are a few of those moments captured in a split second of time... forever. How cool is that!? I love my job. SERIOUSLY!

Ashley is the kind of girl who knows what she wants and how to get it. 'Nuf said! Sandy is so one of those wonderful detail kind of guys. He noticed everything about Ashley... if she was cold, hot, needed help picking up her dress. He was always there for her. I love that!
Are they adorable or WHAT?! I love this light. And this field. It's about a 30 second drive from my house too!
See! I told you he was always there for her! We were leaving this tall grassy area and I just happen to turn around and see them! SO CUTE!
LOVE.
UM. Are you kidding? Ashley, you are hotttt with several t's, girl!
Classic Romantic!
I love Ashley's laugh and his smile. I'm pretty sure Sandy cracked a very dry joke right about this time! Love that guy's sense of humor! I totally GET it!
Warm breeze from the lake, sunset, a wrap around porch and a hot bride and groom. Does it get any better? Pretty much NO. :)
GAH!!! LOVE THIS! You guys are so sweet and beautiful inside and out!
Reow.
So fun! I love my couples! They are always up for being care-free, fun and fabulous! I love this and it makes me miss the non-snow days!
This shot is just so relaxing to me. Maybe it's the sail boat in the background... or something. I don't know.. I just really love this one of them.
CUTENESS.
Fierce. Move over Jack and Rose. (I know, I'm such a dork! lol. There's just something Titanic-ish about this!)
Ashley and Sandy, you guys are wonderful beyond words and I can't thank you enough for choosing me to be your photographer. I wish you the BEST for 2010. Something tells me this is going to be a good year ;). Much love! xoxo- Claire
