Bride and groom kissing by the FountainLightRain Images, Phoenic Wedding Photographer

“She’s not your basic girl” is what our tall, handsome groom says of his new wife Amanda. When asked about Amanda, here’s what he has to say.  “She was different from other girls, beautiful yet she has a good head on her shoulders.  She’s a one of kind girl. I just want to see her happy all the time. They say we are young and rushing things but when you know, you know…” How sweet is this young love! Amanda says of her new husband, “My first impression of him was how tall he was, I just had to meet him. When I started talking to him, I knew right then that I wanted to be with him forever. He makes me feel beautiful all the time even when I don’t feel like it. He makes me more confident and makes me laugh. We’re always going to be together no matter what life throws us.” 

The first time I met Amanda and Hayden, I was struck by how gorgeously tall they were, a plus for any wedding photographer knowing that the images will come out so amazing.  But more than that I found them to be quiet, intentional, kind and thoughtful. Hayden wanted to make sure they have enough time during sunset to photograph around the gorgeous venue The Ashley Castle.  They were married by the ceremony wall decorated with chandeliers outside in front of 90 friends and family.  Their wedding décor and details comprised of deep red, purple and white.  Hope you enjoy the images as much as my team and I created them.  Congratulations Amanda and Hayden!  A lifetime of love and happiness to you both!

Here is what she said about what made her decide to go with Ashley Castle and LightRain Images.

“I chose LightRain images as our photographers because out of all the choices Ashley Castle has provided for us, yours stood out the most to me because of the detail that went into your pictures. From seeing the pictures on your website, I knew that you were perfect to capture all the best moments in great detail. Meeting you in person helped my decision even more because you both were so friendly and comfortable to work with! :)

We chose Ashley Castle as our venue because we both share a love for medieval things and compared to other venues we have researched; Ashley Castle had the best pricing and vendors included when it comes to the packages they offer! The staff was super friendly to work with as well!
