Katie + Eric’s Ashton Creek Vineyard Wedding

Katie and Eric’s Ashton Creek Vineyard wedding was a scorcher, but it was absolutely beautiful!

Their wedding day was so humid that my camera lenses and eyeglasses kept fogging up whenever I’d step outside. Guests congregated in the venue’s AC or in the shade until it was time for the ceremony to begin. Then, thankfully, a big cloud covered the sun briefly while the guests were taking their seats.

After the music began, the wedding party began its processional. The two ring bearers, Cam and Eli, channeled the Blues Brothers’ style and made quite an entrance in their black suits with fedoras and Raybans. The bridesmaids wore emerald green gowns and the groomsmen wore black tuxes with vests and emerald green bowties.

The couple wrote vows for one another before the ceremony, but the officiant explained that they wouldn’t be reading them aloud that day, but would save them for a date in the future so they could reflect back on their wedding day and remember exactly how they felt about each other on that special day.

How They Met

Katie has a large following on her Instagram account, and one day she had a direct message from Eric. Normally, she shared, she’d have just ignored the message. But there was something about Eric that made her respond. During her toast, Katie’s sister recalled how happy Katie sounded the day that Katie told her she was meeting Eric for the first time to go for a ride.

Then nearly two years later, the two were walking down the aisle!

Congratulations and best wishes to Katie + Eric! Your wedding day was beautiful and it was an honor helping you document this special season of your lives!
