Gala 417 Virginia Wedding Wade + Ashleigh

Gala 417 Virginia Wedding

Here we are again at the gorgeous Gala 417 wedding venue in Virginia Beach, Virginia, photographing another beautiful couple’s wedding. This week it is Wade & Ashleigh’s wedding.

Wade & Asheligh’s Day

Wade & Ashleigh couldn’t have had a more perfect wedding day. The weather was a perfect 74 degrees. The sun was shining & everything flowed so perfectly. The Gala is becoming one of my favorite venues in Virginia Beach. Their team does such an excellent job. Watching them flip the ceremony room to the reception room in moments was amazing.

How They Met

Wade & Ashleigh met while working at Chick-Fil-a. The best fast food restaurant on the planet!!!!! Wade now works for Dominion Energy & Ashleigh is an amazing nurse.

These two were supposed to get married on January 9th of this past year, which just so happens to be the best date ever; it’s my birthday. Due to Covid, they decided to go ahead and get married in December of 2020 while their close friends & family witnessed it. They pushed their big celebration off to this past Saturday.

My Favorite Parts

I always love telling my favorite parts of a wedding day. For Wade & Ashleigh’s wedding, I loved hearing Ashleigh’s dad’s speech. As, Chris, her dad, spoke, I looked around & watched people wiping away tears. His words ran deep. I also loved Ashleigh & her dad’s father-daughter dance. It wasn’t the typical dance. It brought so much joy to the room.

Another thing I loved about Wade & Ashleigh’s Gala 417 Virginia wedding was watching their family & friends celebrate at the end of the night. I even commented to Jake how much I enjoyed watching the dance floor full all night with people having such a fun time. It brought so much joy to my heart. You can tell Wade & Ashleigh are so loved.

To Wade & Ashleigh

To Wade & Ashleigh, thank you so much for the joy of allowing Jake & I to be a part of your wedding day. It was such a joy in so many ways. Your celebration day will forever be engrained in our hearts. We hope you both enjoy your continued journey through marriage.

We hope you enjoy some of our favorite images from your day.

With so much love – J&J
