Brandon & Ashley…Married! | Scottsdale Regale! Wedding

July 11, 2011

This is going to be a two part blog post.  That’s because it was my baby brother’s wedding and there’s lots to share.
Ashley…I am so thankful that my brother found you.  You are one of the most joy filled and generous people I know, always thinking of others.  The Lord made you beautiful on the outside and the person you are on the inside just makes you even more gorgeous.   One of my favorite parts of your wedding day was photographing you opening/reading Brandon’s letter to you.  The images below are a glimpse into that sweet moment…Ashley started crying, then I started crying, then I had to remember to keep snappin- ha!  His words to you were beautiful and  loving and the kind of words you reserve for the person that means the most to you in the world.  I think he kinda likes ya! :)  I’m so grateful to have another sister and to know that you will be on this journey through life with my brother.  Love you sis!

Venue/DJ:  Regale! At DC Ranch
Caterer:  Put A Fork In It
Florist:  Patti Barna
Makeup:  Michele Kimpton

And a huge huge thanks to Janelle Zeller and Doni Brinkman for shooting with me.  Love my wing-ladies xoxo

~Sisters~

If there’s one word that springs to my mind when I think of my brother it’s loyal. He has known all of these guys since high school/college and one of them (hi Vijay!) since he was 2.  Thanks Janelle and Doni for getting some getting such great shots of these handsome guys!

ah man their first look was soooo awesome!  Brandon’s reaction was so priceless.  Can’t really blame him though…Ashley looked amazing!  Had to post the play-by-play.  (that’s my love bug making sure her Auntie’s dress didn’t get dirty)

This first one was sorta just a test shot, but my little stinker bug in front there looked too funny not to share :)

Brandon, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile so big, so much.  You walked so confidently down that aisle to wait for your bride and lit up the second she was in view.  You are a blessed man to have Ashley and she is blessed to have you.

Alright, part II coming up tomorrow!
Love you guys! xoxo

WOWWWWW! What a tear-jerker. Erin, so beautiful and your commentary makes my whole body smile. I can only imagine what an honor it was to be shooting for your baby brother and his beautiful bride. Great work holding it together enough to remember to ‘click’! :) Love to you.
