still teary

each and every wedding is precious to me. i view each as unique, holy, and important. this one was no exception, however as i sorted through the images today i had to stop (3 times) and compose myself.

there were 3 things that made this wedding over the top incredible.

1. it was their wedding. granted they had a lot of help from friends, and family however you could see that each decision, like it or not was ultimately theirs. from converse shoes, a letter written in crayon,  a shear dress, all they way to the song Hunter sang at the reception this wedding screamed Hunter and Ashley.

2. they had fun! i begged ashley for a serious picture and she just couldn't do it. she was having the best day ever- why be serious. i guess they just realized ultimately they were going to be husband and wife and at the end of the day no matter what disaster might arise and that's pretty exciting. (no disasters by the way)

3. they were serious about the commitment they were making and saw their wedding as a blessing, not a show. very cool.

i had such a hard time deciding what images to post because i really wanted to tell their story- and 10 images couldn't cut it. so welcome to the longest post ever.
