Ashton Gardens Wedding: Megan & Chance

It’s Wednesday. And although I normally post new images on Thursdays, I’ve been on such a wedding high ever since Megan and Chance’s big day, that I simply couldn’t resist posting this one a little early. The intense love that permeated every single aspect and moment of their celebration has had me thanking God ever since. For His perfect plan in all things. For Megan meeting Chance at a bible study he was unsure he was prepared enough to lead. And for God using their new marriage to remind me of the beauty of finding the one, and One, you were created for.

M & C, Thank you. Thank you for letting me in, and letting me document such a monumental part of your new life together. Working with you both has been a dream. My only request is that you keep me in mind when you have babies. ;) Much love! XOXO!!

First up! A huge thank you to Stefani at Ashton Gardens and Amy Decker with Embark Floral. Such an incredible duo!

undefinedAnd Jenny Schneider and Thea Maguire did a PHENOM job with hair and makeup. Megan looked absolutely flawless.undefinedundefinedMeet Megan’s twin Mom. :)undefinedundefinedMegan and Chance exchanged gifts right before their first look. And it was the schweetest thing EV.ER.
undefinedundefinedYay for engagement pictures and a frame made of every single wine cork you never thought you’d use!undefinedMegan and I worked together to create the BEST timeline I’ve ever experienced. How was it possible? With a first look!
undefinedPre-sunset light makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.undefinedundefinedundefinedThus began my confusing Chance for James Bond.undefinedundefinedMegaaan. Beautiful ain’t got nothing on you.undefinedundefinedundefinedCan you tell which shot is my favorite? It’s the biggest one. Below. :)undefinedundefinedI drool. GAH!!
undefinedundefinedThere are certain moments during wedding day coverage when I feel I should in no way be so privileged to see such beautiful exchanges of smiles and glances and laughter. This was one of those moments.undefinedundefinedAshton Gardens right before the sun went down, and the candles lit up!undefinedChance’s reaction to his bride.undefinedundefinedBAAAYUM.undefinedPeter Hobi with Alphorn Bakery totally killed the cake.
undefinedundefinedSome of my very favorite moments.undefinedundefinedMegan and Chance decided on taking a five-minute break from the party. To watch it from a corner. And soak it all in. LOVED it.undefinedundefinedAnd the dancing lasted all night long.undefinedundefinedundefinedMany congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs!undefined

Happy Wednesday!

    André - Absolutely LOVE everything you captured here. I feel like I am leafing through a major bride magazine. You know… one of those 3/4 inch, ten pound periodicals that feature only the cream of the crop photographers shooting the most beautiful portraits and invitingly candid shots. Stellar performance Alyse!!!
