Ashley and Jeff got married at Ashley’s family’s farm in Romona, Ca. It was a very relaxed and perfect day. Wonderful family and friends!

The detail on Ashley’s dress was so different. I loved the textures together.

Who doesn’t like a good outhouse?

I love the feeling of this picture.

These kids ruled the dance floor!

My dear friend Kristin got really sick when she went to Ethopia to adopt her baby and she wasn’t feeling 100% for this wedding. (Her adoption story is amazing; read about it here.) So I filled in. It was such an amazing experience and I’m so glad I was able to do it for her.
“Dana,
