Iota Wedding: Ashley & Matt

I will say this is an Iota wedding but we traveled all over on Ashley and Matt’s beautiful wedding day!! The girls started off getting ready at a hotel in Rayne, the ceremony took place at St. Leo Catholic Church in Roberts Cove and the night finished with their amazing reception at the Iota Ballroom!! It was a busy day but everything went perfectly. The weather cooperated and we were able to get BEAUTIFUL portraits! Ashley and Matt really wanted awesome wedding day pictures together and they were so patient with all of my ideas. They decided to have a first look together before the ceremony and I am so happy that they did! This enabled them to leave right after their ceremony and not miss a moment of their reception! All of the pictures were taken beforehand :) My favorite part of their wedding day was the JOY of their families!! It was so easy to see how ecstatic they were for Ashley and Matt to finally be married. Choosing my favorite images from this wedding was pretty much impossible so this is a huge blog post!! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!! :)

I LOVED her shoes!!







Matt’s ring was one of the most unique Groom’s ring that I’ve ever seen! So cool to have “I Love You” in-scripted on the inside!

This dress was made for Ashley…it fit her like a glove!!

So beautiful, Ashley!!!!

They definitely went all out with the flower-girl details! So precious :)

My sister was my 2nd shooter/model for the day! We had a great time :)

The 1st Look!! Matt was anxiously waiting :)

Portrait time :)

One of my favorites!!!

Isn’t this tree AMAZING?!?! Another favorite!!

Right behind the church was this gorgeous flower garden…It’s super private and fantastic for pictures!!

The Guys :)

Not every couple agrees to take their wedding party pictures outside…but didn’t it pay off?? This needs to be framed for sure!!!

The ladies :)

Caught her again :) She made sure we had awesome pictures from the choir loft!

Hahaha, I still can’t remember why Matt made this face! I’m just happy I happened to be looking his way :)

This is a beautiful church!!

Trolley’s always make fun pictures!!! This one is definitely not an exception!

Ashley’s cake was beautiful & delicious!!

Living in South Louisiana I see TONS of hunting cakes for the Groom. But this one is definitely extra special!! So many little details!!

Ashley & Matt decided to order a Guest Book filled with their favorite engagement & bridal images. I LOVE this idea because it gives you a great keepsake full of pictures and sweet notes from your family & friends! 











Probably the best cake pictures I’ve ever seen! Ashley, your face is the BEST!!!

We snuck outside for a few pictures under the pretty lights…

….then came back inside for more partying!!

Bubble exits are AWESOME!! Super cool looking without the effort of sparklers :) I’m a fan! 
Thank you so much, Ashley & Matt for making me your photographer. I had a blast going through this process with you and watching the joy of your families on your special day! Many blessings for the future :)

Xoxo,
