I can’t believe this is my last wedding of the 2016! It’s so crazy to think yet another wedding season is in the books. I had some seriously great couples this year and I feel so blessed. Ashlee and Stephen were no exception! High school sweethearts turned husband and wife. It’s a classic story that never, ever gets old. After meeting at Massaponax High School (go Panthers!) these two survived college, military life, deployments, OT school, moving to Hawaii and being away from their families. Brendan, Stephen’s best man, said it best… He told the crowd Ashlee and Stephen couldn’t function without each other and thankfully, now they don’t have to. As simple a statement it was, it rang so true. Ashlee and Stephen belong together, no matter where military life may take them. This wedding was the best one for me to end my season on. The Ross family has treated me well for many, many years. That room was full of some of my favorite people and Ashlee’s family was just as kind and loving. I hope you enjoy some of my favorites! Congratulations you two! I hope you are loving married life back in Hawaii! Thank you to Sara of Wolfcrest Photography for yet again being amazing. You are my right hand on these wedding days and are just the best! Happy viewing, everyone!

Ashlee and Stephen got married in the Silk Mill’s new chapel.
Stephen and Ashlee were married by their longtime friend, Joe. If you can’t tell…. it was hilarious and perfect in every way.
