On March 1st, 2025, Ashton and Zachary exchanged vows in a breathtaking ceremony at Brighton Abbey, one of Aubrey's most picturesque venues. As wedding photographers in Dallas and preferred vendors at this historic venue, we were thrilled to capture every magical moment of their special day.
Ashton prepared for her big day surrounded by her mom, grandma, and close family, while Zachary shared moments with his father and good friends. The anticipation was palpable as we documented these intimate and emotional preparations. The bride's preparation took place in the luxurious bridal suite, adorned with elegant decor that complemented the venue's historic charm.
Prior to the ceremony, we captured heartfelt family portraits and a touching first touch moment between Ashton and Zachary, where they exchanged love letters. These precious moments, typical of Dallas wedding photographers, set the tone for the day's festivities. Ashton’s mom played a significant role in orchestrating these moments, ensuring a seamless flow and emotional depth.
The ceremony took place inside Brighton Abbey's charming chapel, bathed in natural sunlight streaming through the stained-glass windows. It was a serene and picturesque setting for Ashton and Zachary to say their vows and officially become husband and wife. The ceremony featured traditional elements, including the lighting of unity candles and the exchange of vows, all captured in timeless photographs that reflect the couple’s joy and commitment.
Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a delightful cocktail hour in Brighton Abbey's scenic backyard, while Ashton and Zachary ventured to capture romantic sunset portraits in front of the venue. The golden hour provided a stunning backdrop for these unforgettable photos. The venue's sprawling grounds and picturesque architecture added a touch of elegance to the portraits, capturing the essence of Ashton and Zachary's love amidst a tranquil setting.
Laughter, music, and good food filled the air during Ashton and Zachary's reception. The atmosphere was lively, with guests enjoying a photo booth and dancing the night away. It was a joyous celebration of love and unity. The reception hall was beautifully decorated with floral arrangements that complemented the venue's rustic and romantic ambiance, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for all guests.
We had the pleasure of working closely with Ashton's mom, who played a significant role in planning and ensuring every detail was perfect for their day. Her involvement added a heartfelt touch to the entire event. The seamless coordination between our photography team and the venue’s staff, led by the venue coordinator, ensured that every moment was captured with precision and care.
