The Newley Weds: Ashley & Brent
Married: April 30th, 2016
Ashley and Brent’s Wedding day did not start out rainy romantic …In fact it started with a large group of girls at the hair Salon, getting beautified and giggling with one another. At the salon, Ashley (the beautiful bride) was calm; she smiled into the mirror at her stylist finished with her hair. She was surrounded by Camera’s (JSP AND her 2 videographer’s), this didn’t seem to faze her…“I just can-not wait to see Brent”, Ashley said as she continued to smile into the mirror.
After the Hair salon the girls traveled to Coon Valley where they finished getting ready. As the set time, for the couple’s “first look” came closer, it was apparent that mother nature had plans for a rainy afternoon… Ashley and Brent still wanted to have their first look photographed outdoors… Brent was in position in the park as planned. With Brent’s back to her, Ashley slowly walked towards her soon-to-be-Husband and the rain drops started to fall… Time stood still as this couple shared a private moment, in the park with light rain falling upon them.
A few quick photos later and lucky after Bride, Groom and all Camera’s were safe in the cars- It began to downpour!
When the rain let up for a few moments the wedding party was rushed outside for their photos… we had just enough time to capture everything between the heavy rainy times.
Ashley and Brent’s wedding ceremony was filled with emotion and was very special. Ashley and Brent were married in the same church as Ashley’s, Parents & Grandparents. After the Ceremony the couple and their crew boarded the Redneck express for their journey back to LaCrosse. Cheersing, Loud Music and Dancing were all part of the celebration. When the bus arrived to the reception, The Waterfront looked amazing. The Head-table was beautifully set and the room had a Rustic-romantic vibe. Guests enjoyed the popcorn bar and cocktails.
After dinner Ashley and Brent Danced the night away. Ever though the rain never completely let up, this couple still enjoyed their Rainy Romantic Wedding in style!
