Saturday was Kory and Ashley’s wedding at Our Savior’s Lutheran church in West Salem, WI and reception at the Best Western in La Crosse. I started out at the Best Western capturing the girls getting ready.
Ashley had a couple vintage purses that were so cute!
Then we headed over to the church. Kory is a high school band director and music was a huge part of their wedding.
Kory and Ashley saw each other before the ceremony. This first picture was taken by Dawn Silva, my second shooter.
We had lots of time for formal pictures before the ceremony and then some pictures of just Kory and Ashley around the church.
Their minister had the nicest homily. I love when the ceremony is so personal.
Kory and Ashley drove off in Kory’s antique Chevy. Dawn captured these two shots.
We stopped at Vets Park in West Salem for some more fun, car shots and some wedding party pictures. For whatever reason, the road going into Vets Park was as busy as I-90. Seriously, I’ve never been so annoyed with cars before. We did get tons of really nice pictures though. We just had to keep waiting for cars (and then more cars).
The girls had parasols, which were so cute!
I had to use one for Kory and Ashley’s pictures too.
Then on to the reception. They had a classical guitarist playing music during the cocktail the hour.
This photo was taken by Dawn and I love it because it really sums up how sweet Kory was to Ashley all day.
We stepped outside for some sunset pictures on the Black river. I have to post this shot because afterward I starting squealing with delight. This was a complicated shot using a tiny pole for shade. I told Kory and Ashley they would understand after they saw it. So, hear is why I squealed. 🙂
Dawn comes in handy for shade too. She blocked the sun for this shot creating some beautiful light. 🙂
Back to the reception and the dance. Two words: Live Music!
Their dancing shoes
Kory and Ashley, I’m so happy that you found me at Wedding World! All of our connections were fun, but really just getting to know you two better was a joy. I hope New Orleans was fantastic. I wish you the best!

Wow! They look great Tiffany and we can’t wait to see the rest of them! We had a great time in New Orleans and actually paid a dollar into a computer down there just so we could check your site! You were a pleasure to work with and we are also SO glad that we found you! We look forward to seeing the rest. Thanks!
Robin took the words out of my mouth – you are so great at capturing what makes each couple unique and what their interests are. I just love the car shots too – especially of the flowers in the back seat. It’s so vintage-y and perfect. 🙂 Lovely as always!
I love all the car shots. They are so fun! You are so good at individualizing each couples photos with their interests. It really tells a story about the couple. Great job again, Tiffany!
And that nose-to-nose shot!! It is just beautiful!
