Ashley + Jerad have already built an awesome life together. They have a long story (which includes their two amazing kids, who both got to play a big part in this special day as junior bridesmaid and junior groomsman!) but time hasn’t seemed to dull their spark, at all! Whenever we were with just the two of them, they were so snuggly and so clearly head-over-heels. They just seemed to be at rest with each other. They could laugh and poke fun, but they could also just ‘be’. It made us smile.
It may have been a chilly, Fall day, but the goose bumps were worth it! They were out in the country, surrounded by a rustic, working farm. Having the animals all around was so great, especially because we know that Ashley is a huge animal lover! You wouldn’t have known the animals were there, by scent, which was baffling but definitely appreciated! But, oh my goodness, were they cute! Goats, a baby donkey, and a free roaming rabbit and kittens were there, just to name a few! The baby donkey even cheered, for the ceremony! (Haha!) The Berkshire Barn was perfectly cozy, for the reception, to help warm everyone back up, so they could keep the celebration going, for the rest of the evening! To keep the party going, even once they departed, Ashley + Jerad sent each guest home with their own jar of homemade apple pie moonshine! (We are very grateful to be able to have been gifted some, as well! Haha!)
Ashley + Jerad: Thank you guys so much for not being cookie-cutter. Thank you for being outrageous and so fun! We loved spending time with you guys, and Addy + Talen, too! We hope you had the best day, ever, and that it was a day worthy of celebrating your amazing story together! We can’t wait to show you everything, but we hope you love reliving just a little bit of that day, so far!
Enjoy this little preview, of Ashley + Jerad’s well-earned celebration!!
Cheers!
Jess + Chris
