Ashley and I drove up the driveway to her grandparents home in Granbury and the first thing I exclaimed was “hay bales!” She was quite excited herself and we both knew right then and there that we couldn’t call that day’s portrait session complete until we were playing in that field of hay bales.

I couldn’t help but think of the coincidence that had brought me there in the first place. While Ashley and I were still in the middle of exchanging pleasant emails back and forth before our official booking, I had received a phone call from one of my closest friends, Erinn, telling me that she knew my June 3rd bride. I was all ears.

So here’s how it goes … Ashley is the step-sister of the lovely woman who married Erinn’s brother a few months ago. Phew, say that three times fast and perhaps draw yourself a diagram to follow along!

Call it coincidence or call it destiny but Ashley found me on her own and there we were in the middle of Granbury, excitedly screaming about  hay bales!
