Ashley + Michael : Celebration Golf Club Wedding

Their original wedding was supposed to be at Disney in May, but there weren’t any weddings at Disney in May! (That sentence still feels so odd to write!)

Ashley and Michael had their first date at the Magic Kingdom after meeting on a Disney dating website. Two years later, Michael popped the question on Main Street. <3 While their initial wedding plans changed, I love that downtown Celebration kept that small town Main Street-y feel!!

Ashley and Michael, thank you for letting Nate come be a part of your day!! :)

Lindsay + Dave : The Barn at Crescent Lake Wedding in Odessa, Florida

Nate has known Lindsay for a quarter of a century.

Back when she was his annoying little sister’s best friend and he’d try to convince her she had broccoli stuck in her teeth. :)

Honestly, it’s a darn miracle that Lindsay asked us to be her wedding photographers! I’ve watched her grow from my sister-in-law’s adorable high school best friend and got to know her better when we were Jessie’s bridesmaids. Now it’s her turn!!

Lindsay, it meant so much to be a part of your and Dave’s day and I can’t think of a better wedding to not only kick off 2021, but remind us of the weddings we have to look forward to. I finally feel like we’re really turning a corner here, and your day was just the bright spot we’ve been needing. <3

I hope you love your photos as much as we loved making them!! We wish y’all the absolute best and can’t wait to watch the life you build together! 🙂

*This* was the smile we were greeted with. Does it get any better?!

My sister-in-law was the matron of honor, so Jess gets some extra bridesmaid love in this post! :)

Lindsay kept her dress a secret from almost all of her bridesmaids, and I *think* this shows their approval! <3

They were married at The Barn at Crescent Lake, just down the road from their home. :)

Oh, how I’ve missed this vieeeeeeew! <3

Lindsay, QUEEN of the over-the-shoulder smolder!

These mama portraits! <3

If you don’t have games to play during your cocktail hour, you’re doing it wrong! (And serious thanks to this sweet couple for letting me hang around an uncomfortable amount of time to get this photo, lol!)
