Ashlei…is gorgeous. Seriously. Just WAIT till you scroll down to see how stunning she is!!! When she contacted me to shoot her bridals, I was both ecstatic and disappointed. <–The excitement came from of course getting to work with her…and the disappointment that I wouldn’t be there to caputre her wedding day!
Ashlei and Billy were married in Jamaica this week and I couldn’t be happier for this beautiful woman. 😉 She’s so much fun…and has such a true, genuine nature about her. Even during the shoot, there were a few slight interruptions, but it never jarred Ashlei’s personality. She just takes things in stride and enjoys the moment.
Ashlei also brought her sister Erica and her friend Haileigh along for the shoot. <—They are SUCH a blast to be around! 🙂 I laughed so much during the session, and I even have a shot of them below…doing “arm exercises” so that they could have arms like Ashlei!
Billy is a lucky man for marrying such a wonderful woman (and from what Ashlei has told me she feels like the luckiest woman). I hope the wedding was all that they dreamed of and I’m so thankful that I was able to photograph her bridals….looking forward to capturing their Louisiana reception!!!
Ashlei is such a perfect representation of a lady…so elegant and poised.
Haileigh did such a beautiful job with Ashlei’s hair. It was so different and I really loved the style!
I really appreciated the underneath color and the detail of the intricate lace pattern on her wedding dress.
This is the shot I was referencing earlier….of Haileigh and Erica doing the “arm exercises” that Ashlei says she does to stay in shape. lol
There’s something just so natural about this shot below…I really like this one of her.
Although it’d be hard to choose, I think Ashlei’s most beautiful feature is her eyes.
Are you checking out those Badgley Mischka shoes?!
LOVE
It was such a perfect day for the shoot!
This is my absolute favorite spot in Jungle Gardens. I adore the way the light comes pouring in!!!
Ashlei is just so confident and poses so easily.
It’s kind of hard to believe this bamboo is in Louisiana right?
Lovely.
Ashlei, I’m looking forward to your big reception/celebration here in Louisiana! And congratulations to you and Billy! I’ll see you soon!!!
I am so happy that Ashlei chose you for her bridals. Catherine you have done an amazing job as always 🙂 Ashlei and I have been friends for years and I cannot wait to see you at her reception!
So happy for you Ashlei. Danielle tells me that the wedding was absolutely gorgeous!
Ah, Ashlei… so gorgeous! Congratulations to you and Billy! Love you guys!
