Jay and Ashley held their gorgeous wedding at the Hudson Gardens in Littleton, Colorado.  We had photographed Katy and Bryan’s wedding there the month prior, so we were excited to head back since there are so many great portrait spots!

I loved Ashley’s shoes!!!  (Nic told me while we were driving home yesterday that I should do a “shoes of 2009” blog post this winter since I’ve loved so many of them!)

Ashley and her dad were so cute walking down the aisle.  I love expressive dads!!!!  And Jay?  Jay actually said “oh wow” out loud when he saw Ashley!  It was priceless!

The ceremony was gorgeous–I love the way they lined up with the fountain behind them:

The Hudson Gardens are so fun to shoot wedding portraits at!    hudsongardensweddingphotographer06

Ashley had an amazing cake.  It was straight out of a magazine–the rainbow of butterflies, the simple white cake–definitely one of my faves of the year!

I love to watch the bride or groom’s parents dance together and enjoy the reception.  And getting an awesome shot of them dancing and singing along?  Even better!

Thanks so much Jay and Ashley for sharing your beautiful wedding with us!  You guys were a total treat to work with!!
