River Road Chateau Wedding – Ashlee and Tyler – www.katepease.com

I truly don’t know how I get so lucky to document and photograph just the very best couple’s weddings! I am so lucky Ashlee and Tyler chose me to be their photographer. Ashlee and Tyler have the biggest hearts of anyone you’ll ever meet. They emit love, warmth, and authenticity. They are two of the most genuinely kind people. The warmth and kindness they radiate was a theme throughout their day. They were completely surrounded by such heartfelt love and support by their family and friends. It was such a perfect, beautiful day at the River Road Chateau.

Ashlee is a very talented fashion designer with her Ashlee Brooks Collection. I knew when she told me she was making her dress that it would be amazing! No one had seen Ashlee’s dress yet, so when she did a reveal with her sisters, they were overcome with emotion. It was such a sweet moment to witness and document. Ashlee and Tyler opted to do a first look before the ceremony. Tyler’s face was priceless. They shared a private moment together in seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day.
Because Ashlee and Tyler had a first look, it afforded us plenty of time for Bride and Groom portraits. 
Ashlee was given some beautiful jewelry by her sisters and Grandma. The way he looks at her… The earrings and matching ring Ashlee’s Grandmother gave her are so stunning. Blue and Tan Floral made these beautiful bouquets Ashlee was overcome with emotion walking down the aisle with her dad. Her bridesmaids were all in tears as well. There are no words for how special this moment in the ceremony was.  Ashlee’s best friend had journeyed to heaven. In her honor, Ashlee gave her best friend’s sister a bouquet as she walked down the aisle. Because Ashlee was so overcome with love and emotion, she wasn’t able to read her own vows. She asked her officiant to read them for her. It was adorable, heartfelt, and hilarious. Tyler had a tough time getting through his vows for Ashlee without tears as well.But he had some funny things to tell her too.
Because we took care of most of the group portraits before the ceremony, Ashlee and Tyler were able to go party with their guests right after the ceremony. They had a lot of family in from out of town and wanted to maximize their time with their guests. Father Daughter Dances are just so sweet. Delicious Cakes really lived up to their name! It even smelled like sweet heaven! Thank you Ashlee and Tyler for being such amazing people and letting me capture all your priceless memories!
