Ashley & Ross

Ross and Ashley Smith’s summer wedding in Pickens, South Carolina, was a beautiful celebration of love, surrounded by nature and the people they cherish. The couple, both teachers by profession, chose to tie the knot in an outdoor ceremony under the warmth of the midday sun. The location, with its rustic charm and breathtaking views, provided the perfect backdrop for their vows. It was clear from the first moment that this was a day filled with meaning for the couple—each detail carefully chosen to reflect their personalities and the bond they share. From the heartfelt ceremony to the joyful smiles of their guests, it was a perfect day to witness the beginning of their lifelong journey together.

As a wedding photographer, I had the privilege of capturing every moment of this special day. The natural light filtered through the trees, creating the most magical setting for their portraits. From the couple’s emotional first look to the laughter-filled moments shared with friends and family, every shot seemed to tell a story of two people so incredibly in love. It was a reminder of how personal and intimate a wedding can be, even in the simplicity of an outdoor setting. Ross and Ashley’s wedding was a true testament to the beauty of love, teaching, and the bonds that last forever.
