Ashley and my sister Jenna have been best friends since they were three years old and as hard as it is for me to believe, Micah and Ashley have been together for five whole years! I have seen this girl grow up from the adorable and hilarious little girl who used to do the craziest stuff with my sister into a beautiful young woman who just married the love of her life. Micah and Ashley met in highschool and have since earned the nickname “Cory and Topanga” as in the destined couple of Boy Meets World fame- yep they were that couple. And even though they had their share of ups and downs like any relationship, all these years later they have had their happily ever after. I couldn’t be happier for her. Ashley and Micah tied the knot at the beautiful Pine Rose Cabins in Lake Arrowhead, California. The funny thing was that I wasn’t hired to shoot this wedding, in fact, nobody was. When I found out this piece of information I knew I couldn’t stand by and let this fabulous wedding go unphotographed, so I offered to shoot some getting ready, ceremony and portrait shots. I hope you like these, Micah and Ashley =)
Here are some details to start off with: The gorgeous arch of bare wood with white blossoms looked amazing with the 6 o’clock sunlight filtering through…


The bride’s maids helped Ashley get into her dress which is a great moment and can be pretty darn funny:
The beautiful, gorgeous, adorable Ashley patiently having her dressed laced up by her mom.

One of the biggest things I learned in photography classes was that you just cant go wrong with some nice window light. This image makes me happy:
I love this shot of Micah looking very excited to see his bride:



The kiss! Definitely a must-get shot and this one might just be my favorite one yet:

These two are just plain cute.
This one makes me smile every time I look at it:

I saw this rope swing and knew we had to take advantage of it:




Oh you golden light, I love you… Maybe my favorite shot of the day:
I love this one because its pretty and Ashley looks like a super hero…

Wowzers, Right?! Here is Ashley looking like a pastel, dreamy, fairytale princess:
I loved attending and being able to photograph your wedding, Ashley and Micah. God Bless you both and I wish you all the best in this exciting new adventure you have started on.

Very nice and neat-looking blog. For someone who wasn’t hired to shoot this wedding, you sure did a swell job. My favorite is the bride having a hearty laugh with her bridesmaids. A great moment that you captured.
Beautiful work Jessica!, a lot of happy emotion captured.
