Ashton Gardens Same Sex Wedding by Julia Sharapova Photoraphy

February wedding of Jennifer and Rachel at Ashton Gardens was fun!

Both of the brides decided to get ready together, however they still wanted to surprise each other with their dresses and to do the first look. It was such a sweet moment! It was a pretty cold winter day, but girls were brave! So we took ten minutes to do their portraits outside. We were lucky that it didn’t rain!

The entire wedding day was so relaxed. Everyone was so excited and had a great time! The reception party was so much fun! Both of the brides decided to dance with their dads, which was one of my favorite moments! Kids couldn’t wait for the cake cutting. They started stealing chocolate covered strawberries from one of the cakes even before it was cut! Rachel was the one to toss her bouquet, but I absolutely loved how she decided to include Jennifer, by holding her hand.

Jennifer and Rachel, thank you so much for having me document this special day. Your are such a beautiful couple, and so sweet and kind! I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with you and your families. Congratulations and cheers to many years together that are full of love and happiness!
