Ashton & Jennah // Sweet Water Baptist Church // The Warehouse Industrial Event Venue - Butler, AL


From our first coffee-shop meeting in Tuscaloosa, I could see how deeply Ashton and Jennah cared for one another. That same quiet affection filled their engagement session and every part of their Alabama wedding day

.

Jennah spent the morning doing her own hair and makeup with her closest friends, while Ashton played pool with his groomsmen. Before the ceremony, they shared a private first look and exchanged personal vows, creating a peaceful moment together before the day began moving quickly. They were married at Sweet Water Baptist Church in a ceremony officiated by Jennah’s brother. He shared that their wedding might be one of the final church functions held inside the building, making the ceremony and photographs especially meaningful.


The celebration continued at The Warehouse Industrial Event Venue in Butler, Alabama. Guests enjoyed sliders and cake from Mike’s Country Kitchen, joined the couple for a fun reception photo challenge, and filled the dance floor once Music by Mary turned up the music. Jennah also surprised her brothers with a brother-sister dance, creating one of the sweetest moments of the evening. At the very end of the reception we snagged the quickest sunset portraits that are perfection. Scroll down to the bottom to see. Truly these are absolutely stunning. Their day was simple, joyful, family-centered, and full of genuine connection. It was an honor to document such a meaningful celebration.
