This Historic Ashland Wedding will have your cheeks hurting from smiling so much! Joy and Bram were absolutely glowing from beginning to end. The love they have for one another was written all over their faces!

I want to take a second to talk about first looks. This seems to be such a hot topic in the wedding industry; to have a first look or not. Personally, I do not have a preference. I truly believe it is a personal choice between the couple! 

One thing to consider when making your decision is the timeline of events. You will want to take into consideration the lighting and time of sunset, especially if your wedding is in the fall or winter. 

But ultimately, it comes down to how YOU want to see your spouse for the first time on your special day! 

Joy and Bram did not have a first look, and that moment was oh so special for them. Their first looks in the aisle were some of my favorites – please make sure you scroll down to that part!  

I could not stop smiling behind the camera as much as they couldn’t stop smiling at each other. It was an emotion-filled day topped off with some of the most heartfelt speeches from family and friends I’ve heard. It was very clear that everyone there loved and supported Joy and Bram with their whole hearts!
