Spring Clisby Pines Wedding | Ashley & Denver
Ashley and Denver’s spring Clisby Pines wedding was absolutely gorgeous! Their outdoor ceremony surrounded by lush pine trees was picture-perfect, and the reception was filled with laughter, dancing, and joy. From the emotional first look to the wildflower seed favors, every part of the day was special for me to capture as their wedding photographer.

Ashley and Denver met on Bumble in a stroke of serendipity. Denver was actually driving to Charlotte for a job interview when he matched with Ashley. They both realize now that he had to have been swiping while driving because she lived over an hour away from Charlotte! Ashley’s opening line of “Roll Tide” sealed the deal, and they quickly bonded over their love of trying new breweries, playing cards, and, of course, watching Alabama football.
When it came time to pop the question, Denver joined Ashley’s family on their beach week vacation. He planned a fancy dinner out for just him and Ashley that was admittedly “too fancy” for their taste. Knowing the dinner wasn’t their style, Denver ended up proposing on the sidewalk right outside their car after dinner. It was an immediate yes from Ashley, of course!
After getting ready in the well-appointed Bridal Suite and Groom’s Quarters, Ashley and Denver shared an emotional first look. Seeing their reactions to each other was so special to witness! We then took some time for couples portraits, including getting some adorable shots with their beloved dog! If you’ve ever wondered if you should include your furry friend on your wedding day, my answer will always be yes!
Ashley and Denver embraced a spring garden theme with dusty blue and pastel colors. Ashley carried a textured bouquet that perfectly complemented her wedding dress. Her bridesmaids wore dusty blue dresses while the groomsmen sported classic suits.
Clisby Pines is a beautiful venue with both indoor and outdoor spaces that make for a dreamy wedding. The outdoor ceremony area, secluded among pine trees and featuring a stone fireplace, made for a romantic backdrop for the couple’s sweet vows.
Following the ceremony, the couple and their guests enjoyed an outdoor cocktail hour before moving to the Grand Hall for the reception. Ashley’s creativity shone through in the seating chart, where each guest’s name was written on a packet of wildflower seeds. It was a charming touch that fit perfectly with their spring garden theme.
The Grand Hall was transformed with textured pastel floral arrangements that complemented the bridesmaids’ dresses and other carefully chosen details. After a lovely dinner, guests danced and celebrated the newlyweds all night long!
