Nestled in the town of Pullman Washington is a beautiful Garden that is known for its tranquil beauty, Lawson Gardens. It was a fitting location for Ashley and Emmanuel, who have such a calming and peaceful way about them. Soft and romantic but also joyful. This location is definitely one of my favorites in our area.

Ashley and Emmanuel had a first date to remember.  Emmanuel was going to be officially out of the Army. He was stationed in Fort Drum, NY, and was planning on driving from New York to Pullman. He invited Ashley on the trip and she flew out to Syracuse where they met at the airport. She arrived at almost midnight, the next day they went to the base where he did his final paperwork, then they were on our way to the first stop on their way home, Niagara Falls. 

Ashley and Emmanuel will be tying the knot In Pullman at her family's home. In this area, any property is breathtaking and perfect for intimate gatherings. 

They are both looking forward to their future together as a family. I love how Ashley said that her favorite thing about Emmanuel is his positive outlook on everything in life!

They are such a generous couple that when complete strangers asked if I would take a cell phone photo of them they were happy to pause what we were doing so I could help them out. How sweet is that? 

 I will admit that I have a soft spot for this couple. Ashley was the Human resource person who helped me navigate through the ups and downs of my medical leave during my breast cancer treatment. It feels like a huge blessing to be a part of their story! 

I for one can't wait for their wedding day!
