ashton-hill-wedding_0001 In the middle of June, I had the pleasure of assisting Amanda Dee Photography in capturing Brandon and Chelsea's gorgeous wedding day at Ashton Hill in Cedar Rapids. I enjoy taking the opportunity to second shoot for other photographers when it comes around. It's fun to capture the day from a new angle, and I enjoy watching my peers work. It gives me the opportunity to be creative in new ways. ashton-hill-wedding_0002 ashton-hill-wedding_0003 ashton-hill-wedding_0004 ashton-hill-wedding_0005 ashton-hill-wedding_0006 ashton-hill-wedding_0007 Their first look was a beautiful moment!
