A few weekends ago I had an AMAZING time shooting Ashley & Tim’s wedding at Castle Green in Pasadena, CA. For one, I already knew Ashley’s family having photographed her sister Amber’s wedding last September. It’s so nice to get to know the families of my clients and be able to work with them on more than one occasion. Second, Tim’s family was just as fabulous as Ashley’s. Third, Ashley and Tim are caring, kind and fun people and made every effort to make their big, special day fun and special for everyone. Fourth, Ashley wore RED pumps and a netted veil with feathers! … I could go on and on…. 
There are so, so many photos in this post so I’ll just get to it. Thanks to Edmund Prieto for helping me out on this one. 
The red pumps.
The beautiful, mermaid-fitted gown.
Tim- the handsome, happy groom.
Hello, gorgeous! Ashley looked absolutely stunning! And check out that awesome bouquet.
The feathery, sparkly netted veil. So chic…
These two shots are so representative of Ashley. I was trying desperately to get some simple smiling portraits, but she couldn’t keep from laughing because Tim was cracking jokes on the sidelines. I love these images for that…
Castle Green is a great venue… a historic, beautiful building with pretty grounds and great architectural details surrounded by Old Town Pasadena.
On the left, this is Tim letting out a huge breath as he saw Ashley for the first time walking down the aisle with her dad. Loved this reaction! It was immediately followed by a giant grin.
Amber fought back the tears nearly the whole ceremony.
It was a beautiful ceremony led by Tim’s good friend and former roommate. I love when the officiants are close friends or family.
Married!
Time for some shots of the newlyweds…
I think this series includes my favorite images from the day. Love the light, the setting, the expressions… Ashley and Tim totally rocked it!
Beautiful… and so Ashley.
Some reception details.
The rings.

The lovely first dance.
This is Michael, Amber and Ashley’s older brother. As you may recall, he was serving in Kuwait and couldn’t make it to Amber’s wedding last year, so it was great to finally meet him. The families were so happy to have him here and I thought he deserved a special photo mention. Plus, check out that bow tie! Fantastic.
Finally, I stole the couple away from the reception for a few minutes to do some photos in this great old school elevator in the lobby. I love this shot for a million reasons.
Ashley & Tim — I am so happy for you guys! I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing how beautifully your life together develops.

We are so very proud of both of you. You both look like models in a Wedding magazine, but how wonderful you guys are for real and these photos really capture who you are. We can’t wait for more to come.
