Michael + Ashley: Pataskala, Ohio Wedding

A light breeze cooled the air Saturday afternoon as the guys stood out on the front steps of Pataskala United Methodist Church for group pictures. Michael was relaxed, smiling easily and enjoying the company of his best friends. Ashley was finishing getting ready in the basement of the church, putting finishing touches on her dress and slipping in to her blue flats.

When it was time to walk down the aisle, Ashley and Michael were all smiles seeing each other for the first time.

Ashley is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet and has a great eye for details. She did all of the flowers for the wedding herself and added personal touches to the decor by making a lot of it herself. The entire wedding was simple and elegant- nothing too large or attention seeking. Everything was just right.

I absolutely adore these two- they have such a sweet way of interacting.

After dinner and some dancing, Ashley and Michael made time for a quick sunset photo session with me. I absolutely love it when couples choose to do this. Without an audience and with guests already fed, we had an opportunity to relax and explore the golf course and take more intimate photos of the two of them.

After the sunset photos it was back to the party. Michael and Ashley closed out the night with their best friends and closest family beside them – who could ask for more?
