Hidden at the top of a hill, up a winding and bumpy road is the secret place. As you pull up to the crest of the hill and cross the treeline, you see panoramic views of Alabama. It’s the best-kept secret at Hamilton Place at Pursell Farms! Ashley & Chase looked out at the rolling hills, the puffy white clouds, and took in the moment. They leaned into one another as they soaked in those precious moments after their first look. It was the moment they had both been waiting for and it was already the perfect day.
Where do we even start with a day as wonderful, beautiful, and fabulous as this one? Words genuinely don’t seem to do it justice. Overflowing flowers, intentional details, and one incredible vendor team. Hamilton Place at Pursell Farms alone is a dream! It’s such a luxurious wedding vendor smack dab in the middle of the Alabama countryside. It was the perfect canvas for Ashley & Chase to bring their dream wedding to life.
Ashley’s vision for her wedding was a feminine, southern elegance at its finest. We say Ashley’s because Chase was so dang sweet. He really wanted her to have her dream day so he let her run with it. His decision to do that was the best one he could have made. She poured her heart and soul into designing it and it came together beautifully. The double flower arch, the gorgeous head table at the reception, the stunning invitation suite… we literally couldn’t pick a favorite design element if we had to!
Then, there’s the couple. Ashley and Chase are two of the best people we’ve met. They epitomize classic, effortless style, generosity, intentionality, thoughtfulness, and joy. Even now as we type this that still falls so short of how incredible they both are. Ashley is one of the most stylish and elegant women we have ever met. She poured her heart into designing every single element of her wedding day. Chase, he’s so thoughtful, quiet, and compassionate. All day long he was up for whatever he could do to make Ashley’s day better. He also made sure that every guest, including us photographers were fed and cared for.
They sure do know how to make people feel loved. As we reflect on their wedding day, that’s what stands out the most. They genuinely went above and beyond to make sure every guest felt loved.
Ashley & Chase, we’re so thankful we’ve had the chance to get to know you both! We’re so thankful for how loved you made us feel, even though you definitely didn’t have to. We pray that your hospitality and kindness are shown back to you a hundredfold. More than that, we pray that your marriage will thrive and that you’ll know you always have people here to support you both.
Blessings,
Katie & Alec
