I met Chase + Ashley through a mutual friend and was soooo thrilled they had a Toledo Zoo wedding planned! This was my first wedding at the zoo and you can easily see why!!! To top it off Ashley had a theme of BLING! BLING! Glitz everywhere!! LOVE LOVE LOVE. I really got to know Chase + Ashley during their engagement session at the Toledo Botanical Gardens and just how Ashley is Chase’s world. He really lights up around her. Plus, he loves the camera. Hahahaha. Bonus for me!
Some of my favorite customized parts of Ashley’s planning…. her crystal purse bouquet! OH MY!!! I couldn’t stop asking to hold it!! Her very own bling! bling! Check out her rock!! The matching bling! bling! on her centerpieces/guest favors. Each package was wrapped with glitz and a “copy” of her ring! The packages were filled with chocolates! Yum. The shoes!! The girls had silver then alternation zebra print heels! After the ceremony they changed into sparkled Converse’s and the guys were sporting these all evening, minus the sparkles of course!
Special thanks to Kylee Hale, Wedding Coordinator with the Toledo Zoo. You rocked!!!! It’s not every day a photographer is so well connected and gets constant help orchestrating the event! Wow. She was on it! Extra kudos to Greg Horvath for second shooting.
