If you’re a sucker for waterfront views and four-legged wedding guests, Ashley and Edmund’s July 26, 2025, wedding at Macray Harbor on Anchor Bay will absolutely steal your heart. With perfect summer weather, a breathtaking shoreline backdrop, and two adorable pups in the spotlight, this day was everything a wedding photographer could dream of capturing.

We started the day with Ashley getting ready, surrounded by laughter and excitement. Her bridal details were stunning and the energy in the room was full of anticipation. Once she was ready, we made our way to the shoreline for the first look—an emotional and intimate moment between Ashley and Edmund. These private moments never get old, and Macray Harbor provided the perfect scene for it.

But let’s pause for a second and talk about the real stars of the show: Sebastian and Pepper. Sebastian, the yellow pup, and Pepper, the white one, made their grand appearances with tails wagging and personalities shining. Sebastian is the easy-going charmer, while Pepper is the energetic sidekick who loves the spotlight. These two brought so much joy and warmth to the day, and it was clear they are a big part of Ashley and Edmund’s love story.

One of the best things about doing a first look is the gift of time. We were able to knock out all the family photos, bridal party shots, and a full round of portraits with the bride and groom before the ceremony even began. That meant more time for Ashley and Edmund to actually enjoy their day—and enjoy it they did.

The ceremony took place inside Macray Harbor, with beautiful views of the water just beyond the windows. As the couple exchanged vows in front of their loved ones, the room was filled with emotion, love, and a few happy tears. It was the perfect indoor setting—elegant, intimate, and cozy.

After the ceremony, we captured a few more extended family shots by the water and some final bridal party candids before heading into the reception.

The celebration kicked off with a lively grand entrance and led into one of the most memorable first dances we’ve seen—complete with a massive dip that had the whole room cheering. Ashley and her dad shared a touching dance, and Edmond and his mom had everyone smiling with theirs.

From there, the dance floor stayed packed all night. The energy never dipped, the laughter never faded, and the joy never stopped flowing. It was a day full of love, family, fun—and yes, a couple of unforgettable pups.

Ashley and Edmund, thank you for trusting us to capture such a special day. Your wedding was a beautiful celebration of your love, and we were honored to be a small part of it. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness (and tail wags) ahead! 🐾✨
