Ashley + Phil | Historic London Town and Gardens Wedding

May 27, 2014 Ashley + Phil | Historic London Town and Gardens Wedding

I first met Ashley over 20 years ago when we were teeny tiny elementary schoolers. I remember my first impression of Ashley was that she was fun, full of energy and always smiling– some things never change. I would never have imagined that one day I would be photographing her wedding and spending such an important day by her side. Ashley and Phil have a special love. It started with a smile. Phil saw Ashley in the hall at school, and was determined to make her smile. That one smile turned into nine years of love and one of the most beautiful wedding days I’ve ever had the pleasure of witnessing.

Ashley and Phil started their day off at The Westin Annapolis, getting ready with their closest friends and family.

Ashley’s dress was so elegant. Simple, but absolutely beautiful. 2014-05-26_0001 2014-05-26_0002 2014-05-26_0003 2014-05-26_0004 Ashley’s dad wrote a sweet note that was placed in Ashley’s dress as her “something blue”2014-05-26_0005 Phil and Ashley exchanged cards and gifts before the wedding. Ashley’s gift was the beautiful diamond earrings shown above! 2014-05-26_0006 2014-05-26_0007 2014-05-26_0008 2014-05-26_00092014-05-26_0012 2014-05-26_0010 2014-05-26_0011 2014-05-26_0013 2014-05-26_0014 2014-05-26_0015 2014-05-26_00162014-05-26_0017  STUNNING!!!
