Green Gables is full of rustic charm. It’s nestled back into the foot hills of the Laurel Highlands and was perfect for her romantic, earthy and rustic wedding and the inside was so magical and moody! 

Incase you’re late to the party…below are the other links to Rob and Ashley’s Wedding:

I love the twinkle lights..it added beautiful ambient light for the first dance as you’ll see below!

I love what they chose to do with their “guest book”. Instead of having guest sign their names in a book, she wanted them to leave a message in a bottle. It served as a wedding time capsule and on the anniversary, they would open them and read the messages. <3

I told you it was charming! She had over 300 guests which filled the entire venue. They had the cutest little nooks and crannies to put tables all with a view of the pond!

Ashley and Rob………YOU WERE AMAZING to work with. I feel like I’ve gotten to know you so well through all of this and I’m kind of sad that it’s all over! Ashley, you were my ideal client-always cheerful, smiling, friendly, outgoing, down to earth and most of all….as gorgeous on the inside as you were on the out! I see big things in your futures……and I”m so honored that I got to be part of your day and that you trusted *ME* to document it for you! MUUUAH!!!!
