My Own Wedding // Matt and Ashlee // Nick Radford Photography

This week is my one-year wedding anniversary.  It has been a sweet and fun first-year, getting to grow closer with my best friend and to begin this learning/growing/humbling process of marriage.  I felt since I never officially shared my own wedding photos online that now would be a good time.

Nick and his bro Garrett took the helm of one of our most important aspects of the day: the photography, obvi.   They were champs, covering our entire day from the morning San O surf sesh to the late-night exit from the ranch.   Ash and I were so blessed by their talents.  It's something we'll treasure for years to come.

In addition, we selected another set of trusted professionals and friends, Ryan and Mikey from In The Clouds Weddings to take care of our video.  I've worked with them on dozens of weddings, personally photographed Ryan's wedding, and so the choice was easy.  Check it out below!
