gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0001 I'm still working on catching up on non-client work, but I'm excited to share with you this amazing wedding day from last summer!

gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0002 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0003 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0004 It was so great having a good amount of time at the beginning of the day to focus on details. Details may seem like something that should only take a few minutes, but to truly capture gorgeous, styled details it takes time. gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0006 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0005 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0007 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0008 The guys' getting ready room had a gorgeous mirror, where Zach put on his final touches of his wedding attire. gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0009 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0010 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0011 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0012 The bridal suite was lovely and a the colors fit beautifully with their wedding colors! gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0013 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0014 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0015 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0016 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0017 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0018 I love first looks. Truly! It is such a beautiful moment for a couple. It allows them a moment together, without the eyes of all of their friends and family, at the beginning of what is always a busy day. A moment to talk and laugh, a moment to breathe before the whirlwind that is a wedding day sweeps them away. gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0019 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0020 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0021 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0022 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0023 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0024 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0025 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0026 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0027 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0028 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0029 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0030 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0031 Zach and Ashlyn were naturals in front of the camera, so relaxed and easy going, not to mention absolutely stunning!! gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0032 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0033 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0034 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0035 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0036 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0037 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0038 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0039 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0040 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0041 Their ceremony was beautiful, filled with laughter and love. gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0042 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0043 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0044 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0045 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0046 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0047 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0048 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0049 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0050 In lieu of a unity candle or sand ceremony, Zach and Ashlyn nurtured a tree together; one that they will eventually plant at their home so they can watch it grow through the years. Being a great lover of trees and plants, this is perhaps one of my absolute favorite unity ceremonies I've ever seen. gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0051 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0052 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0053 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0054 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0055 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0056 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0057 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0058 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0059 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0060 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0061 gathering-barn-williamsburg-wedding_0062 At sunset, we stole away from the reception for portraits.
