The Meet

04.01.13

Though they had been talking online for a bit their first date was on April Fools Day. Having been quite gullible as a kid Ashley wondered if finding someone so seemingly compatible was a joke. Ian was less cynical about a first date. After choking back the nerves in her car for a few minutes she stepped out on to Lake Street in Burlington, VT to greet this alluring stranger. They never looked back.

The Moment

05.21.2016

As usual Ashley was running late to get out of work on a Saturday and much to her chagrin Ian was really pushing the idea of a sunset hike. After finally conceding that time was not on their side Ian suggested a walk on the Malletts Bay Causeway instead. In her rush to get home before sunset Ashley backed into her boss' car. Hard. Fast forward to Ian jumping off said causeway onto a big rock sticking out of the water. Not to be outdone Ashley followed, of course. As they sat talking and watching the less than impressive sunset he pulled out a ring-- not THE ring, but that's another story.

The Beach

09.23.16

After a very brief engagement, their first big military move, and Ian's first long patrol on The Tahoma Ashley and Ian tied the knot in a private ceremony on the beach at Salisbury State Reservation near their then new home town of Seabrook, NH. Ian's dear friend Tim tagged along to snap these and many other awesome shots.. Now, its finally time to celebrate with the rest of the people they love.
