Ashley & Dillon’s Timeless Garden Wedding at Garvan Woodland Gardens
There are wedding days that feel beautiful from start to finish—and then there are days that feel electric. Ashley and Dillon’s wedding at Garvan Woodland Gardens was exactly that: intimate, emotional, and full of quiet moments that made time slow down.
Getting Ready in the Bridal Suite at Garvan Gardens
The day began in the bridal suite at Garvan Woodland Gardens, where Ashley spent the morning getting ready surrounded by calm, love, and anticipation. As she fluffed her dress and took in those final moments before the ceremony, you could feel the significance of what was about to happen. It was peaceful yet powerful—the kind of moment every bride deserves before walking down the aisle.
These quiet getting-ready moments are some of my favorites to photograph. They tell the story of a bride stepping into a new season, surrounded by love and intention.
An Emotional First Look as the Garden Doors Opened
When the garden doors opened and Dillon saw Ashley for the first time, the moment was nothing short of electrifying. Time seemed to pause as emotion washed over both of them. It was raw, genuine, and incredibly meaningful.
Their ceremony followed with the same tone—intimate, sweet, and timeless. Nestled within the natural beauty of Garvan Woodland Gardens, their vows felt deeply personal and grounded. Surrounded by lush greenery and those they love most, Ashley and Dillon exchanged promises in a setting that felt perfectly aligned with their story.
Exploring Garvan Woodland Gardens as Newlyweds
After the ceremony, we hopped on a golf cart and explored the gardens together, capturing husband-and-wife portraits throughout Garvan Woodland Gardens. This time is always so special—when the nerves have faded, the joy has settled in, and the reality of just married begins to sink in.
The gardens provided the most stunning backdrop for their portraits, from winding paths to blooming landscapes. Every corner felt like a new chapter unfolding, and Ashley and Dillon’s connection made each image feel effortless and full of life.
Celebrating in the Magnolia Room
The celebration continued in the Magnolia Room, where the evening was filled with dancing, laughter, and meaningful conversations. It was the perfect ending to a wedding day that felt intentional from start to finish—joyful, relaxed, and deeply personal.
From the quiet moments in the bridal suite to the last dances of the night, Ashley and Dillon’s wedding day was a beautiful reflection of their love and the life they’re building together.
