Wedding Day – Ashley & Antonio

You may remember this stylish, romantic, fun couple from last December’s Washington, D.C. Union Station engagement session posts (yes, they’re the powder paint couple!). I met Ashley & Antonio at Maria & Arthur’s wedding in November and have been looking forward to shooting their wedding at Renditions Golf Course in Davidsonville, MD, ever since! Well, this weekend my wait was over: I had the honor of being present as these two recited their vows & was happy to capture their special day through the lens of my camera.

Ashley & Antonio met while both working a summer job at Macy’s while Ashley was on break from college. From their first lunch date at the nearby Chipotle to Antonio proposing atop a temple in Kamakura, Japan, while overlooking the water 300 feet above sea level, the two have been inseparable & so in love. Their wedding day was made extra special for it being their seven year anniversary. Seven years and down the aisle they went!

Besides this golf course in suburban Maryland being beautiful & picturesque on its own as a perfect wedding location, Ashley & Antonio thoughtfully included many personal touches of their own to make their wedding experience sweet & memorable for their guests. From the hand painted & constructed arch the groom made sure was standing perfectly before his bride walked down the aisle, to the hand drawn brunch menu, and super colorful juice bar, all of their guests were in for a treat!

Ashley was most looking forward to being pronounced husband & wife, and Antonio was anticipating his first peek at Ashley coming down the aisle in her wedding gown, and let me tell you – neither moment disappointed! Just take a look at the photos below for my capture of these moments – you won’t be able to miss them! My favorite time of the day was racing around the course in golf carts to special photo op locations while golfers yelled, “congratulations!” as the newlyweds drove by! I think A&A will love the photos we were able to capture & my hope is they will treasure these memories throughout their lives together.

Congratulations to the newlyweds! I know you’re going to enjoy many years ahead of wedding bliss.

Thank you to all the vendors who made Ashley & Antonio’s wedding the wonderful day it was.
