Mr. & Mrs. Ames' Wedding Day

June 28, 2025

Therefore what God has joined together, Let no one separate.

Mark 10:9

I need to start this blog with two words...

GOD'S BLESSINGS.

This explains not only our story with them but their story!

We have been with this family now for a few years and could not brag about them more!

Fun, Loving, close and adopted us in!!

This wedding was like shooting a wedding for our own family!

The laughs and love we see with them truly shows that GOD only,

has made the perfect picks...

from Mallory's parents to Dakota's parents

now to Mallory and Dakota!!

I pray God watches over you all along with every sibling, spouse,

grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and friends!!

Now for their wedding day story in the best way we know how to tell it...

In a little peak through our camera's eyes!

The day started out hot and continued to get even hotter.

Yet, perfect for an outside wedding and inside reception,

at the most beautiful venue,

Ember Wood in Walton Indiana.

We arrived at the venue as both bride and groom were able to get ready all in one place.

The girls were upstairs in the bridal suite already starting the getting ready process

and the guys would be there shortly.

The day was full of excitement.

we were able to enjoy a dad and daughter first look,

a bridal party first look,

Some getting ready pictures,

a beautiful ceremony,

sunset personal vows

and a whole lot of goofing around.

You all might want to ask a certain father of the bride what song he 

coaxed some little ring bearers into singing...

But hey,

they all came down laughing and not afraid!!

Job well done.

We hope you enjoy the preview!

My favorite part of the night was

handing a photographer/groom the camera and seeing

how much he had fun taking pictures of his wife!!

May your love always stay this strong and may you always remember to have fun and laugh even on the hardest days!!

Do you know why the wedding ring is put on the 4th finger on your left hand?

Because it is the only finger that has a vein which is directly connected to your heart.

So today, may your heart be tied to your marriage

and

let God be first in all you do together!

Congratulations Mallory and Dakota!!

Many blessing from here on out!!
