The Ashleys and Franks join forces

This Saturday's wedding was nothing short of stunning. With the exception of an occasional bead of sweat from the Bakersfield heat, the day was flawless. The wedding itself was at St. Phillips and the reception and most of our pictures were at Bakersfield Country Club. Such a great wedding party and both families were so much fun, it made our job really easy! Here's a couple and you can check out a few more on my website. The remainder of their pictures will be posted the end of August. We had a great day, thanks for the honor Franks and Ashleys.

Their beauty was striking and you can tell their love is deep. Here's a few pics, but you can see the rest on my website. The art of storytelling...
