Ashley + Matt’s family and friends thought they were gathering to celebrate their engagement. As they gathered on that gorgeous October day on the outside patio of Colonial Heritage Club, they received an incredibly special surprise. They weren’t only there to celebrate their engagement- they were there to witness their wedding! “Marry Me” by Bruno Mars, one of our favorites (especially in those adorable proposals you see on Facebook) started playing during a special toast and then Matt + their officiant came out wearing suits. Ashley came around the corner of the building soon after, wearing a gorgeous gown, riding in a horse drawn carriage. Just look at the faces of their guests! They were truly in shock and it was incredible to witness. After an emotional and heartfelt ceremony, guests were surprised again when there was a full reception waiting for them in the ballroom.

Not only are Ashley + Matt incredible people, but the love they have for each other was so profound. You could feel it in the way they looked at each other and the way their family and friends celebrated their marriage. It was such a unique and fun experience and we are so glad we got to be a part of it!
