Chanelle & Rob had the prettiest Christmas wedding planned at Ashland Springs Hotel. They had lots of gold, red and white everywhere and of course, a Christmas tree in their reception room! The ceremony was on an outdoor patio and after taking final getting ready photos, Chanelle & Rob shared a first look before the ceremony. We shot right at sunset and waited until dark for their intimate ceremony. The details were so beautiful from Chanelle’s gold leopard print heels to her pearls, veil to match and Rob’s dark red shoes to finish off the Christmas theme!

Chanelle’s grandpa walked her down the aisle to Rob in the center of the patio that was surrounded by beautiful lights and had the Ashland Springs Hotel in the background! The ceremony was so sweet and part of their vows read, ‘I will love you freely and cherish you even as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it’. Chanelle & Rob care for each other at the center of everything they do. They look out for each other and you can just tell that they were made for each other. Which was also apparent to their friends and family because several of them mentioned it in their toasts to the couple! I’m so grateful I had to opportunity to photograph this wedding! Congrats Chanelle & Rob!
