Rustic DIY Wedding in Austria: Ashley + Miguel

Rustic DIY Wedding in Austria: Ashley + Miguel

via

Ashley + Miguel met while studying in Australia, he asked her to marry him one day while they were swimming in the Florida ocean, and the adventurous duo have since moved all around the world together, living in Madrid, Vienna, Ecuador, Germany and now Lima, Peru. It was only natural that their wedding be yet another adventure, so Austria - a place where the two had visited together + loved - was a natural choice.

The setting genuinely reminds us of The Sound of Music - think of the classic "The Hills are Alive!" scene - and we just love the images captured by the talented Claire Morgan. When we asked Ashley how she + Miguel made their day about them, she told us, Perhaps because we avoided the obligational invites. We chose to invite only our very closest friends and immediate families, those that have known and greatly supported our relationship for the past 9 years. Not a moment of the day was spent catching up with long lost relatives or getting to know our parents' friends. Instead we were able to enjoy each other in every moment.

Ashley + Miguel exited their ceremony to a classical guitar composition played live by a friend. Then everyone walked from the church up to the alm where an evening of dinner, drinks + merriment awaited.
