A favorite couple at a favorite place at a favorite venue sums up Charlie and Ashley’s Deep Creek Lake + North Glade Inn wedding. I first connected with these two last summer while I was at the beach. Charlie was the go-to for the wedding planning and handled most of the communication…and from day one, he was incredibly friendly and welcoming. And when I finally met Ashley during their engagement session in the fall, she was the same. 

These two were so excited about their wedding and invited tons of family and friends from the eastern side of Maryland to join them. Their big day was beautiful! Filled with sunshine, warmth, lake views, a beautiful barn, good food, and just some darn good (and fun!) people. 

Ashley and Charlie, I so very much enjoyed your wedding day and all of our time together over the past 10 months. Let’s hang out when you’re back in Deep Creek! Maybe a Rock Maze photo shoot this time!? 🙂

Love the detailing in Ashley’s dress!

Florals by the fabulous Farmhouse Fete!

Perk of having a Deep Creek Lake wedding: You get to bring all your friends to hang out on the docks with you!

Definitely a favorite!!!

Ashley’s mom is just as sweet as she is. 🙂

Two more favorites coming up here!

 

Down to the docks with the boys…

I told them they looked like the famous Beatles album cover and they immediately fell into character. 🙂

The Deep Creek Lake map behind him. 🙂

A lakeside first look…

The laughs these two share… 🙂

The beautiful Miss Ashley!

One of my favorites from the day. Their dusty blue dresses worked so well with the lake and the trees…

Ashley, Charlie and all their kids!

They continued to nail the fake laugh over and over. 🙂

I love a good flower girl moment during the ceremony. 🙂

They way she smiles at him…

And the way he looks at her!

Ashley and Charlie had one of their best friends share their story…of how they met, how their relationship evolved and who they are today. It was different from the normal “message” during a ceremony, and I loved it! I learned so much more about them and what makes them special, and everyone else did, too!

A quick family portrait to show off one of my favorite photo spots…the covered porch at the B&B at North Glade Inn…

And I love these next portraits of the new Mr. and Mrs…

Yep, a favorite!

Ashley mentioned that she loves the look of the barn, so I made sure we included it in pictures!

Oh I just love these next two pictures of these lovely ladies!

Ashley and her daughter share similar smiles. 🙂

The Barn at North Glade ALWAYS looks beautiful!!!

Continued floral fabulousness from Farmhouse Fete! I actually share a special shout out to the Fete ladies on FTL!

Cheesecake and cookies by the always delicious Mountain Flour Baking Company!

Ashley is a Chemistry teacher and loves rocks! So she and Charlie collected rocks from all their hikes as gifts for their guests! How cute is that!?!

I love this first dance picture!

Ashley danced with her dad and it was the cutest thing…

DJ Jason Shaw had the party going early!

Sunset portraits!!!
