Recently, I was so thankful to be a part of the community in giving Tyler and Ashley Southern their dream wedding!  Tyler and Ashley went to high school together and later reunited when Tyler came home from war.  While in Afghanistan, Tyler stepped on a IED and as a result lost both legs, his right arm and his left hand suffered damage to his left hand as well.  He received the purple heart for his service.  I am, along with many others, grateful to Tyler for his service to our country!

The wedding was such a fun event to be a part of.  I had a great time meeting new people and fellow vendors from the area.  I was one of the four photographers involved.  The others were Christy Whitehead, Bev of Snappy Shots by Bev,  and Chris Condon.  All of which photographers are amazing!  I believe there were 3 bakeries involved as well, two florists, two bands/orchestras, and so many more!  The location was amazingly beautiful, right on the water!

The weather was perfect, except for the heat!  And the party was fabulous!

Tyler and Ashley, I am so incredibly happy for you and I’m so thankful that I was able to be a part of your wonderful celebration!  Tyler, thank you again for serving our country so greatly!   I wish a long, happy, and fulfilling life for you both and your families!
