Wedding Story: Shauna and Anthony - Part One

I think it is very appropriate that our first wedding of 2009 was on Valentine's Day- start the year off with major love!  I would also like to give myself, Ashley, kudos for posting on my 25^th birthday!!  Birthdays are the best!

 

Shauna and Anthony had to plan their wedding in 4 weeks!  They thought they would have more time but Anthony is going into the Army and as it is with many military weddings they seem to either get pushed up or pushed back.  I have to say that they did an AMAZING job pulling off this wedding in such a short amount of time. 

 

Because of the time of the ceremony, Shauna and Anthony chose to see each other earlier in the day so they could get some awesome couple pictures outside.  I am soooo glad they did- we had the best time driving around Farmville, VA getting adorable shots of them!  At first I felt bad that we did not get as many "getting ready" shots of Shauna as I usually do, but in the end I think that Shauna and Anthony will appreciate all the pictures they got together way more than they will miss pictures of Shauna getting her hair done.  

Here is a taste of what David and I captured of them around town- another posting coming soon of the ceremony and reception!

We loved this store front on Main Street... 

which also happened to be where Shauna found her dress!

LOVED Shauna's flowers:

This ceremony and reception was held at a historic train station so we had to take advantage of the red caboose parked beside the station.
