Ashleigh & Shaun are married! Silverthone Pavilion Wedding

Ashleigh & Shaun had a fabulous wedding. It was definitely a very emotional and special time for the bride and groom and their friends and family. So many times I had to hold back tears myself! (oh... I have to do this fairly often- you may see me sniffle a little at every wedding, but this one got me going!) Ashleigh and her girls were getting ready just down the hall from the boys and it was fun to have everyone so close and so excited together. The moms were going between the rooms and in their full gallery you can see images with both the bride and groom on the phone. Yup, talking to each other. :) They were so close I got one end of the call with Ashleigh and got to Shaun's room for the other part. :) haha.
It was a beautiful Colorado Day and Ashleigh looked stunning. Actually the boys didn't look so bad themselves! I love the white on all the guys. Bright and fun to shoot- and well, they were a fun group of guys to begin with. :)The ceremony and reception were held at the Silverthorne Pavilion. It's a very nice facility and I'd love to shoot there again sometime. Ashleigh & Shaun prepared a slideshow full of music and baby pictures to tell their story and to share it with their guests. I always love seeing these because it gives me a chance to learn so much more about the couple and their lives outside of this one day. What Shaun didn't know is that Ashleigh had put together a special slideshow to be played right after the first. The whole piece was to her groom- expressing to him how much he means to her, and how excited she was that they would share their lives together. It was a really amazing piece and there wasn't a dry eye in the place.
Thank you both so much for allowing Darrell and I to be a part of your day. I really enjoyed meeting your friends and family! You are surrounded by many people who love you. We wish you many many years of laughter and love on your journey together. Congratulations. :)

i LOVE this!

So during the small ammount of time Darrell and I are actually home, we watch a TON of discovery channel. We don't really watch enough tv to keep track of any series shows (well, except Project Runway, but that is my own personal obsession) so all the stuff on DC allows us to watch any time at any part of any show, which is great! Dirty Jobs, Mythbusters, Deadliest Catch, Shark Week... all of it, really.

Well they have been making awesome commercials lately. And you can ask my dad, but I usually mute commercials the instant they come on. But this one....! It makes my heart dance everytime! I will actually un-mute the tv and turn it up!! So I just wanted to share. :)
