Ashley--a very "Good Friday"



Ashley and Garron were married Saturday in a beautiful outdoor ceremony at Rock Barn Golf and Spa in Conover, NC. Those pictures are coming! Until they are ready, though, I wanted to post Ashley's gorgeous bridal portraits.
Back in March, on Good Friday, I photographed Ashley at her great-grandparents' homeplace. It was a windy spring day, and the old farm--now updated and where several family members still live--was the perfect backdrop for her portraits. Ashley was stunning and up for anything I suggested, although back in March she kept saying she "felt like a martian" in her wedding get-up. She was happy to report Saturday that she finally felt completely comfortable in her beautiful dress and veil!

Enjoy the preview--there are lots of pictures, and it was hard to narrow it down even this much! A special note to Ashley and Garron's family and friends: please continue checking back over the next week or two for ordering information for the wedding photos! Thanks!









Did I mention it was windy?!? We about lost the veil!








Oooh, I love these!!




Ashley--it has been so great becoming friends over the past several months! Your portraits are some of my all-time favorites, and that was such a great day with you, your mom, and Marilynn at a place so special to your family. Hope you and Garron are enjoying the honeymoon, and I can't wait for you to see the wedding pictures!

Amy, Mike and I loved your bridal shots of Ashley. We can't wait to see the wedding pictures.
We had such a good time at her wedding, we were sorry you had to work and couldn't join in on the fun!
Amy, you are Ashley's new friend. She loves your work and so do all her friends.
Ahley's Mom, Sue

Amy-You are such a wonderful artist and made me feel at ease on the wedding day. I am so happy Marilynn has a great friend in you and that she suggested you as our wedding photographer. You have to come visit in Wilmington so we can all enjoy some time together where noone is working :-) Thank you again for being a part of Garron and I's wedding and being such a professional. I was so HAPPY to be able to already recommend you to Lindsay! Have a great week and I can't wait to see the pics.
-Ashley (Bride!)
