Elle and Ashton are engaged!! I was so excited when Elle reached out to me about photographing their wedding day because we had been Instagram and Facebook friends for what feels like forever, but had never actually met in person. Elle is a super talented photographer herself and I absolutely love following her work! It is always SUCH an honor when another photographer trusts me to capture these special moments, and I can’t wait to celebrate these two next May! These two are sweet as can be and such a fun couple to be around!

Their paths first crossed in KINDERGARTEN! These two grew up going to school together and their friendship formed during their time as classmates. As time passed, their friendship grew and grew into something more. They started dating in highschool and even though they went to different colleges, they found a way to balance school, responsibilities, and most importantly: time together. They’ve chosen each other through it all, and I have no doubt that’s what makes them so strong as a couple now!

While Elle was busy photographing an engagement session last summer, Ashton set up a bunch of twinkly lights and roses on the dock overlooking the pond on his family’s property. Elle’s car broke down on her way home from her shoot (uh oh!), so her brothers came to pick her up. They brought her over to Ashton’s house and there he was, waiting outside in a heart made of rose petals. It was there that Ashton asked Elle to be his wife! And they will be married on his family’s property in the same location next spring!

Elle & Ashton, I am so honored and excited to be your wedding photographer and absolutely cannot wait to celebrate you two next May! In the meantime…enjoy some favorites from their spring engagement session!
