They worked in the same building but would only see each other in the elevator.   They noticed each other, but only smiled.   Eventually, Brad would ask Ashley to dinner.   Several months later, Brad would ask Ashley for her hand in marriage.  They were married at sunset this past weekend.  Here are a few of my favorites from the day:

Ashley arrived back at her room to find a bouquet of roses and a handwritten note from her husband to be.  Her smile says it all.

Brad was presented with a very special gift from Ashley before the ceremony.   I loved seeing his reaction.

I always love when a Bride and Groom decide to do a “first look” before the ceremony.  The next few images are some of my favorites from the entire day.

Their two dogs are a very special part of their family.  Therefore, special arrangements were made to bring the dogs to the resort for some family photos prior to the ceremony.  preceremony 5
