ashley + nate

nate and ashley had a beeeautiful wedding at the salt lake temple/red butte gardens last month. nate and ashley are such a striking couple! her, blonde and beautiful (not to mention so stylish), him, heloooo tall dark and handsome! i mean really, look at them! the details that went into the reception were killer. enjoy! also, special thanks to my talented friend kelli
from a touch of grey photography who was the second shooter. she got some amazing shots! all images with a * underneath were taken by her!
