Brooke and Tyler's special weekend was a highlight of 2021 for us. They are the sweetest couple! Due to COVID-19, we had to wait a little longer for the wedding day to come, but it ended up being perfect. We were lucky enough to photograph both their wedding day and their rehearsal dinner as well. The weekend was full of celebrations!

THE REHEARSAL DINNER

On Friday evening, everyone gathered together at Ashford Acres Inn for an evening of good food and great company. The finer details for the wedding day was finalized and everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather. This was my first time seeing the venue in person, and it only took a few minutes to become one of my favorites I've worked at in my career so far. The staff or super sweet and so accommodating to their clients and vendors both.

THE WEDDING DAY

Romantic couple in wedding attire share an intimate moment under a veil.

Early Saturday morning, everyone got together and began getting ready in the historic inn. While the girls were enjoying theirselves in their suites getting hair and makeup done, the guys were enjoying a morning of golf and later watching a UK football game from their suite. I loved how casual and relax everyone's day was leading up to the ceremony. Once again, the weather was absolutely perfect and was just right for their outdoor ceremony and barn reception.
