Ashley & Travis – The Marshall House Wedding

September 4, 2013

I can never say it enough.  I love my job and I love my clients.  I don’t know how I keep lucking out.  Ashley and Travis are awesome, totally chill, totally cool people that are so in love.  It’s fabulous being around them and their family because their happiness just rubs off on you and you can’t help but have a great time.  This wedding was a perfect reflection of them – traditional with lots of special fun touches that ensured their personalities shown through and that their guests had a blast.

The day started at The Marshall House, which always lends itself to lovely getting ready photos.  I loved the custom yellow Chuck Taylors.
