Ashley & Aaron Got Married {A Real Williamsburg Wedding}

I was so honored to be asked to help Aaron & Ashley with their September 4 wedding. It wasn't a total surprise to me - Aaron's mom is my good friend Cathy Nester, owner of The Flower Cupboard.

This couple is so well-matched, it's kind of scary. They were longtime sweethearts before their Williamsburg Winery wedding. Aaron is techie and Ashley is a dentist (which makes their epic candy buffet really ironic). They are fun-loving, good-natured and positively filled to the brim with perspective.

From the shabby-chic design theme to the polaroid photos hung with clothespins instead of a traditional guest book, Aaron and Ashley wove personal elements through the entire day. The vendors had as much fun s the couple did, and I'm grateful for the efforts of DJ On the Side, Charlie Little, A Catered Affair by 2nd Street and of course, Brad Howe Photography who took the wonderful images below.

To see more of these, visit the Williamsburg Wedding Design Facebook page and Aaron & Ashley's album which I'll put up shortly!
