I said it before, and I'll say it again: Congratulations Ashley and Tony!


What a great day we had at Water's Edge Event Center in Eagle, Idaho! Their wedding was in November 2022.


When I first saw Ashley, she was already wearing her beautiful white wedding gown. The MOH was wearing a lovely dark red gown which went perfectly with the color scheme of the wedding. Tony was looking dapper in his wedding day tux, featuring a dark red vest. with black, long sleeve button up shirt, as was his best man. The bride was the ONLY one wearing white that day, as it should be. While we are at it, the mother of the bride was absolute perfection in orange and I need to say this, the bride's grandma...everyone needs a Grandma Rose!

The wedding couple chose to have a first look, which I absolutely love! First looks are so intimate and full of so much raw emotion, I can't recommend this enough! It is cold in November in Idaho and this day was no different, but they braved the cold, and the first look was priceless.

We were able to get some beautiful portraits of the couple and individually before they couldn't take the cold anymore!

Speaking of first looks, we did a first look with her dad and family. It was so much fun. You can just feel the love.

The ceremony was so perfect. As Ashley and Tony were saying their vows and I do's, love filled the room. I am positive it was felt by everyone.

The reception was so much fun! The food and DJ were provided by Water's Edge Event Center. Everyone loved the food. The menu consisted of everyone's favorite finger foods! While Ashley and Tony danced their first dance only the music filled the room. All the wedding guests fell silent while witnessing the love between these two people.

I have been to my fair share of weddings and of course the cake is one of my favorite parts of the reception events. This was no different. The couple chose Nothing Bundt Cakes for their wedding, in two different flavors. It was awesome. Everyone took the flavor of their choice, and it was delicious!

The whole day was perfect. Join me in wishing Ashley and Tony many happy years together!


Without further adieu, Mr. and Mrs. Burrus!
