After falling in love in New Zealand and nine years of long distances, lengthy visa processes and a move to DC, Ryan and Ashley weren’t about to let a little (okay a lot!) of rain ruin their wedding day. Their wedding was probably the rainiest we’ve ever shot but you would never know from their photos! They were so joyful all day long – even when their shoes were off and they were walking through the mud.

Elizabeth Bailey Weddings, Classic Catering, Kirkland Manor, Event Pro and all of the vendors involved in the day did such an incredible job pulling together the most beautiful wedding in spite of the rain. From the beautiful greens decorating the aisles to the Pimms cups served at cocktail hour to the welcome bags filled with a mix of Washington DC, Baltimore and UK treats, every detail was absolutely perfect!
