Under a bright blue Kansas sky filled with gorgeous yellow sunshine, Ashley and Garin were married. Finally, their date had come :: after all the dates that marked their courtship, this was the one that would intertwine their lives forever. And they couldn’t have been happier….or more ready.
Ashley was so calm :: Garin, ready and excited for the day. A last minute change of reception venue didn’t rattle anyone. Nor did the intensity of the summer warmth. It didn’t matter. They were going to celebrate life and love, no matter what form it took. And, seriously, when you both look this good, you’d want to celebrate, too!
Ashley loves yellow — and had woven her favorite color so beautifully through the entire day.
Garin’s love for Ashley absolutely shines. I adore this moment from their first look ::
As the ceremony began and Ashley’s father escorted her down the aisle, Ashley stepped toward Garin and her dad said, “Wait! You can’t have her yet.” 
Such a sweet moment and brought about a giggle from everyone within earshot.
A little kiss of breeze caught Ashley’s veil as they were saying the blessing…
A few other portraits ::
This one melts my heart.
Garin’s niece stole everyone’s heart as the flower girl–and such a dapper ringbearer, too!
Now this is the smile of a man who is happy to be married.
At the reception, Garin’s brother gave a toast that had the entire room in stitches! He paused for quite a while at one point while speaking, and everyone around gave a soft “awwww…” and he perked up, saying, “I’m not going to cry…I’m just really nervous!” And then went right on speaking! So cute! He even gave Ashley a couple of “gifts” to help her prepare for life with Garin ::
Ashley and Garin – it was an honor to be part of the date that you’ll remember for a lifetime. You two have a beautiful relationship and I’m so excited for what the future holds for you both. Much love!
Enjoy the slideshow!
