FINALLY! We teased you with one image a couple of weeks ago. We finally have the rest of the images to show. Don't worry — we won't post all 900 of them. (Friends and family will be able to view all of them in the couple's private viewing gallery when they go online.)
Ashley is my wife's cousin and a real sweetheart. I've known Ryan now for a few years – he keeps winning all my poker money from me at our annual Thanksgiving poker tournament (we'll stop "letting" him win now that he's family). Ashley & Ryan are a great couple and it was an honor that Ashley picked me to photograph her wedding.
Below are some of our favorite photos from the wedding.
Ashley chats on the phone before her make-up and hair start.
Hair prep – doesn't look great now, but by the time the wedding rolled around, everyone was perfect.

I love this shot…
Ashley and her sisters walk to the elevator and head to the church.
While riding down in the elevator, the man jokes that it seems he's the subject of my photo. In a way he was, I used a fish-eye lens to capture the whole scene.

How cute is HE??!??!?!

Boy, the left-most flower girl sure is exceptionally pretty, isn't she
My daughter loved getting to dress the part of a princess for the night.

OK, I rarely photograph in bathrooms, but this "portrait" of the groomsmen was just too funny to pass up.
Father-daughter dances are always special to me. This time, this one was even more so.
Ashley & Ryan, I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek at a small sampling of photos. We'll have more for you soon. Congrats!
