Ashley + Joey | An intimate wedding at the Epic Center in Fulton, Illinois

I love when weddings are all about family! Ashley and Joey made sure to make their kids a huge part of their wedding day and get plenty of portraits together before the ceremony.

We kicked things off with a super sweet first look. It definitely helped calm any nerves that had been there so they could enjoy the rest of the day together.

The ceremony was very heartfelt and personal to them as a couple. And the way Joey looked at his bride said it all. They love each other on such a deep level. They respect each other and truly cherish the family they brought together.

We all know life isn’t a fairy tail, but I really do hope for a happily ever after for Mr and Mrs Housenga!
