RIO PINAR COUNTRY CLUB | DIANE & ROY | DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | ASHTON KELLEY PHOTOGRAPHY
It’s a rarity that I have more than a few weddings throughout the “off” season or better known as the colder months. This year was a bit different! I had weddings booked every month from November to February, and two were out of state. It made for some fun travel and an opportunity to spend time with family. Better yet, they were in Florida and the weather treated us beautifully!
My mother and her fiancé decided to have an intimate ceremony in Orlando, where the majority of my mom’s family lives. I was excited to fly in and help her, capture the day, and spend time with people I don’t get to see often enough. The weekend did not disappoint. We laughed until our bellies ached, ate delicious wedding cake, and danced all night. It was wonderful to meet my new step-father’s family, welcome them with open arms, and share in the occasion together. We all had a blast and it was really a blessing to see my mother look so incredibly happy.
I’m sharing some of my favorites from the wedding, and beware.. there are are some pretty adorable flower girls in the mix. Cuteness ahead!
Mom & Roy,
I’m so glad we were able to spend the weekend celebrating your union! I hope you both had a great time and I wish you both all the happiness in the world. Dave and I can’t wait to make it down to visit again soon, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy looking through all of your images and reliving such a fun day. Love you both!

Thank you Ashton for everything that you did to make our day as special as it was! It was extemely precious to me that you interrupted your own wedding planning activities to help choose my flowers and offer other suggestions to help us pull this off on such a short timeline. In addition to everything else you helped with, you also created my stunning bouquet. I’m very fortunate that my daughter is so talented and capable of juggling so much at once. I would never have considered allowing anyone else to capture this day for us. I love you very much!
