The day was cold. And by cold I mean at one part during portraits we checked and it was EIGHT degrees!! But, let me tell you, Justin + Ashley were troopers!

Their story begins YEARS ago on the ball field. Her brothers + Justin and his brothers played ball together. So naturally, they were around each other at a very young age + paid no mind to each other.

Fast forward to a little more than a year ago, Ashley drafted a life plan + her sister-in-law Alexandra suggested she try Tinder. Ironically, Ashley matched with Justin + she invited him to her older brother’s 25th birthday party. Long story short, Justin survived meeting the family along with Ashley’s father with a handgun fastened on his belt loop (they knew Justin was a keeper after that).

I’m so honored to say that a year after they said “I love you” for the first time, Justin + Ashley said I do! So, without further ado, their wedding blog.

Ashley’s Alfred Angelo dress was to die for!

These details!

Ashley’s sweet sisters helping her get ready!

We loved Ashley’s first look with her dad + brothers!

The moment right before he sees his wife for the first time!

The barn doors slid open one last time and in walks Ashley. The room fell silent except for the tap of piano keys coming from her grandmother. And if all at once you hear the sudden start of muffled sobs. It started in the front row and immediately caught like wildfire to the entire bridal party. One by one. They were all in tears.

Mr + Mrs Lacy!

These two!! Look at that joy!!

If I could give an award for being real troopers, these two would hands down get that after braving 8 degree weather for some portraits!!

Get it girl!!

We absolutely love golden hour in the winter time!

True love does still exist! Justin + Ashley are proof!

Hands down one of my favorites!
