Ashley and Cory’s Wedding at the Barn at Fallingwater

Ashley and Cory have been waiting a long time for their wedding day. It’s been 11 years since they started dating (since they were high school sweethearts I doubt that they were seriously thinking about their wedding when they were teenagers). Their families have been waiting too.

Last weekend they exchanged vows in a beautiful ceremony at the The Barn at Fallingwater that was definitely worth waiting for. I LOVE weddings at The Barn at Fallingwater and Ashley and Cory were such a beautiful, fun couple to have on the other side of my camera.

Ashley had a squad of awesome bridesmaids to help her all day. Seriously, her bridesmaids were so awesome!

While Ashley’s lovely mom, Kelly, and her fantastic sister, Alyssa help her into her dress, her bridesmaids provide emotional support.

Cory was dressed and ready when he arrived at the Barn. Ryan grabbed this shot of him heading out to meet Ashley for a First Look.

The weather was totally unpredictable, but I’m so happy that we had a few minutes of clear sky for their first look.

Adorable and beautiful. Ashley’s dress matches the setting perfectly.

Because of the threat of rain (more like threat of downpours), they chose an indoor ceremony. Definitely a tough call when they planned an outdoor event but they can shift their focus to each other instead of worrying about the weather.

Rev. Mark from A Simple Vow gave a beautiful ceremony. I’ve been to quite a few weddings with Rev. Mark and he does a great job EVERY TIME. I don’t know how he writes such unique ceremonies each time. It was very sincere, personal, and classy.

One of the biggest perks to having your wedding at the The Barn at Fallingwater is the photo session at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater. We were there while it was still open to the public and so many people (besides Ryan and I) were taking photos of Ashley and Cory. Who could resist this???

Then we headed back to their reception.

After dinner and cake by Potomac Bakery, DJ Andy Booth got the party started.

First dance!

This may be one of my favorite first dance photos ever.

I know I already mentioned him, but DJ Andy Booth is one of my favorite wedding DJs. Of course this is the Dirty Dancing lift during “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.” Amazing.

    Randi- I just picked my jaw off the floor. I knew the pictures would be amazing but I was completely blown away. You captured every moment of the wedding and some that I didn’t even realize you were there for! I got so emotional looking through them. I can’t wait to see the rest. You and Ryan were so great to work with- so professional yet so down to earth and fun. Both Cory and I enjoyed taking pictures! Thank you so much for capturing our special day 🙂

    Love them! And many kudos to Ashley for her amazing dress and hair too that like you said, perfectly match the setting. I thought my favorite would be the one with the zigzag fence, but then the first dance spot stole its place in my heart. Great work.
