Creative, Romantic Wedding Photography: Mike & Ashley





Mike & Ashley:

I recently had the pleasure of providing this adorable couple with some unique wedding portraits. Four years ago they married in Reno, Nevada but their hired photographer never showed up to the wedding and split with their money. Mike secretly hired me and shipped their wedding attire to Ashley's aunt's home in Reno, where they originally married, in order to surprise Ashley with the portrait session.

While we had the advantage of not worrying about keeping them from their guests, we were battling freezing cold temperatures but their great stamina and humor enabled them to endure. The house and the old trees surrounding the yard served as a beautiful backdrop.

A mutual friend of ours, Leilani, came by the shoot to help us work more efficiently in a small window of time. Toward the end of the outside portion of the shoot, I couldn't even use my fingers to change the f-stop which makes Ashely's warm smiles all the more impressive being she was in a strapless gown and I was in five layers of wool.

Their love for each other still reads as newlyweds.

It was great fun!
