Ashley & Tristan = The Victorian Youngsville Wedding Day!

The Victorian Youngsville  Wedding Day  |  Ashley & Tristan  |   June 17, 2023

What a HAPPY day this was, ya’ll! Ashley and Tristan are two of the nicest, sweetest people ever & after 8 years of being together (since high school!) their big day was finally here! Side note – if you missed seeing their GORGEOUS sun-soaked Engagement Session, click HERE! And if you missed Ashley’s STUNNING Bridal Session, click here! 🙂

The day before, we had torrential rain downpours and it was hot/muggy…. BUT for Ashley & Tristan’s wedding day, the sun was shining, the wind kept the temperatures mild, and it was just a GORGEOUS DAY!!!

We started off the day photographing the girls hanging out getting glammed up by Jenna & Alys, and styling Ashley’s beautiful details! She included some special pieces for us to photograph, including some doilies from her 98-year old great-aunt! So special!!! Ashley’s bridesmaids were all SO SWEET, and surprised her with a scrapbook with notes as they were getting ready. It was really thoughtful! (Also, if her MOH Bella looks familiar, we photographed HER wedding last year at The Sutherland, click HERE to see it!) Ashley’s getting-ready photos with her mom are some of my favorite EVER – she is just so beautiful & extremely photogenic!!! 🙂

Tristan and Ashley were joking the night before about betting on whether Tristan would cry during their First Look or not. Tristan said he’s not an emotional guy, so he was thinking he wouldn’t cry! But the second that he turned around & saw his beautiful bride he was BLOWN AWAY. It was sooooooo seriously sweet!!! Then, they decide to read private vows to each other, and he couldn’t even get his first line spoken after trying many times. He decided to just let Ashley read them herself, and it was seriously the sweetest thing ever – coming from a self-proclaimed “not-emotional” guy. Tristan – you’re the best!!!!

We had the best time photographing their bride & groom portraits after that! They are SO INSANELY photogenic, and I just LOVE their photos together! Their bridal party was also the best hype people – and I loved their energy and enthusiasm! Tristan & Ashley – ya’ll have an INCREDIBLE set of friends!!!! 🙂

After a sweet & personal ceremony, it was time to PARTY! They treated their guests to a beautiful evening of food, drinks (and a pretty signature drink!), a Photo Booth, lots of dancing, corn hole, and plenty of little outdoor spaces to talk and relax with friends! It was such a perfect night. Some of my favorite moments was hearing the toasts of all the people who love them – and all the happy tears shared. It was sooo special!

It was truly the BEST DAY…and reminds me of how wedding days can be so amazing, stress-free, and so full of JOY!! Ashley told me at the end of the night that she was trying to soak in all the moments so that their day wouldn’t fly by too fast without enjoying the moments. I loved that!

Congrats Ashley & Tristan – you guys are the best!!!! Enjoy seeing some of my favorites below!!!!
