John and Ashlee!  You’re married!  What a fabulous day we had celebrating your love and commitment to one another!

John and Ashlee got married on October 2 in Columbus, Ohio.  I’m so pumped to share this beautiful day with you!

Ashlee had a faboulous duo of make-up connoisseur  taking care of faces that morning.  I loved watching these chicks in action.  Great job, ladies!

Dang, John, you can rock a three-piece suit, that’s for sure!

When we moved over to the wedding venue, my hunky assistant and I set up and captured the gorgeous finishing touches.  I mean, isn’t Dock 580 just a gorgeous place?  I am salivating over the rustic and refined atmosphere they house here.

I love the special moments from the wedding ceremony.

Ashlee’s daughter enjoyed watching Ashlee walk down the aisle.  She was so funny!  John and Ashlee gave her a special memento signifying that they are not just committing to one another, but to her, as well.  She was so mature when she accepted the necklace!

And, just like that, John and Ashlee were pronounced husband and wife!

We escaped the ceremony location for a quickie. Wink, wink.

What a fun–and huge–wedding party!  I love when my brides and grooms have an awesome group of friends.  Ladies and gentlemen, you were awesome to work with!

But, seriously, folks.  Let’s get down to business, here. [No, not to defeat the Huns.]

This. Party.

Seriously.

I love it so much that I pretty much want to share the dedicate the rest of my blog to these fabulous moments.

John and Ashlee enjoyed a beautiful and rockstar first dance to Johnny Cash’s “Rose of My Heart.”

Ashlee danced with her father and John danced with his mother; these dances always make me weepy.

Then, the fabulous Sam Smith, DJ for the evening, rocked out an epic party!  Obviously.  What fun!
