Allow me to introduce you to my gorgeous little-girl-bearing friend, Maria.

Is Maria not one of the most beautiful women you have ever laid eyes on?

I think so.

Shiloh Grace, we are so excited to meet you! :)

wedding:: micah + ashley [belvoir winery: liberty, mo]

A few weeks ago, I had the joy of 2nd shooting Micah and Ashley's wedding with my dear friend Cherish Anderson in Liberty, MO.

Micah and Ashley were wed at the Belvoir winery - such a gorgeous location!

The ceremony took place outside at sunset and the reception was inside the winery mansion, each room spilling over with beauty and history.

It was such an honor to capture an evening of so many special moments for this couple...I will never forget the way that Micah looked at Ashley as she came down the aisle and the tears in his eyes as they each said, "I Do".

Thank you Cherish and thank you Micah and Ashely...

I feel so privileged to have been part of your special day.

Be sure to check out Cherish's coverage of the wedding [here] also :)

Caught him looking at his ring as they walked down the aisle for the first time as husband and wife.

like, "I really just got married" ;)

with love,

claire.
