I have been waiting since last fall to shoot this wedding after I met Dustin & Ashley at their engagement session. I knew some of their family members already so I knew it would be a great wedding. I was right. The day started out at the Frick farm where the girls got ready. Then off to Melville for the ceremony and then finally off to Grayson for the best wedding reception ever. The Kuntz family, along with what seems to be the whole town of Grayson, is very musical & very talented. Dustin himself has played in a couple of rock bands. So, this wedding reception was ot going to be like any other. That was made clear the second you walked in. Their MC, aka Uncle Paul, made sure of that. It was a shock to everyone, including the newly married couple. Paul was like an act in Vegas. He could definitely give Letterman a run for his money. He definitely missed his calling in life. Anyway, the entire wedding day was an absolute blast. Thanks again Dustin & Ashley for allowing me to come along for the ride. Its going to be so tough to decide which images to post for your blog. Here are just a few.
'Flowers on Main' in Melville did such a great job of Ashley's flowers. They were so bright, fresh & had a real country feel to them. They set the tone for the whole day & just made me smile.
I am having a hard time selecting which ring shot to post so I am going to post a bunch. Sorry :)
You might have a hard time figuring out this next shot. Well, its the rings in front of this fabulous putter that Ashley bought Dustin as a wedding gift. I just had to incorporate it some where in the photos for him.
This next image is Dustin's gift to Ashley. A beautiful diamond necklace to go with her earrings. You are a lucky girl!
Before Ashley's mom & dad got married, Grace went to Paris (if I am remembering the story correctly) & she brought home this beautiful lace garter to wear for her own weddng. She didn't toss it however and saved it for her own daughter to wear & that's exactly what Ashley did, along with the pearls that her dad gave her mom on their wedding day. Such meaningful gestures.
You know I love a good shoe shot!
Bridesmaids gettin gorgeous!!!
Ashley definitely looked stunning in her Enzoani Gown from "Blue" in Saskatoon.
A couple of last shots with Mom & Dad before their daughter became a married woman. I think mom was definitely holding back the tears.
Okay, I am totally in love with these next three images. I love "real" moments & I love the look in Ashley & Dustin's eyes when they see each other for the first time. I also love the look Dustin has right before he kisses her. I love to capture those great moments!!
A few more shots of the guys rockin it out on the Route 605 Bus. A very sweet ride, I must say.
Now to wrap up with a few shots from the reception. Again, too many to choose from so here's just a few.
The MC (aka Uncle Paul). This guy is so incredibly talented and was on fire!
When they pulled out an electric guitar & amp and said that the only way to make the bride & groom kiss was to sing & play a rock song, well I thought they would never kiss. Boy was I wrong. Like I said, the town is filled with amazing talent. Here's a couple of images of them rockin it out!!
Next it was the grooms turn to rock it out to the bride, which I believe scored them some ACDC tickets. Hey, no one asked me to sing for some ACDC tickets. I would have tried. Oh yeah, that might have emptied the reception hall in a hurry. Oh well, lol.
And finally one last image from the reception. I absolutely love the expressions on their faces.

Now on to the bride & groom. There really were so many to pick from that I know I won't be able to decide so you will just have to look at them all.
