Hi there! Welcome to the Luke & Ashley blog, a journal about our lives, our beautiful couples, and their stories we get to tell. Stay a while and do say hello if you please!
Maggie & Jon’s dream of a Sunday Fun-Day VA Beach Wedding came true this past weekend. Yesterday I shared a wedding that took place on Saturday during the big storm that rolled through. Come Sunday, we woke up to blue skies and unseasonably cool and perfect weather! It was an amazing day for a perfect beach wedding!
The way they approach life and one another is so encouraging and sweet. They met over their love of volleyball and have made it a point to keep doing things they love together. Their wedding was all about things they love. They incorported their love of volleyball by having 3 volleyballs as their “guest book” I loved watching their guests and love ones sign them and write encourgaging notes to the newlyweds.
They also have a mutual love for the show ” How I met Your Mother.” I will admit I have not watched this show, but it is on my list! They brought along their yellow umbrella and we were able to do some fun shots with the two of them.
They wanted to ensure a great time for not only them but all the people that were important to them. It was all about a good time and celebrating with their loved ones.
These two and their crew danced the afternoon away to a great band that were friends of the bride & groom. There were constant smiles, high fives, and laughter that filled the Waterman’s and it was an honor to be there and celebrate them both.
Thank-you Jon & Maggie for having us! We wish you a lifetime of happiness!
