Ashley & Stephen
November 22, 2011



































































“Like paper flowers we are bent and folded to the point where we become something all together beautifully different.”
















































“We are nothing without the humans touch. But with love, indeed with love we are as kings…”











































The best prop is simply when lovers hold hands.




























“Sometimes the best image is the one where you feel like you have just intruded on something very private.”

On a technical note just wanted to mention that Pinterest users (we are an ever-growing promotion grapevine obsessed with weddings and other beautiful things) looking to share your photos have a bit of a problem where the header image pops up and sits on top of a big chunk of the photos. Not a big deal nor a complaint – just wanted to let you know.
Again, unbelievably beautiful wedding, I might steal the groom’s wardrobe, especially the hat, for my dude at our wedding. Although I love his sparingly-haired head and he’s completely comfortable with himself, he looks pretty foxy in hats like that. Thanks Clayton!
