Ollie is the sweetest, happiest & most beautiful little Australian Shepherd!
Even though their wedding venue is not pet friendly, his parents still wanted to find a way to celebrate with him on wedding day. We decided to set some time aside for photos with Ollie after their First Look.
Ollie was SO excited to have this special time with Mom & Dad. While he may not have known exactly what this day was all about, he could tell is was a big one.
We were able to get so many great shots while adventuring around a bit before the ceremony & had a great time while we were at it! Ollie loved walking around downtown Orlando in his tuxedo & being held by the Groom for a few cuddles & close ups.
After the photos, we dropped Ollie off at his pet sitters home for a well earned meal & some relaxation.
This mini Aussie had the BEST DAY EVER!
We asked the couple a few questions about including Ollie in the wedding day:
Why did you include your dogs in your wedding?
How could we not?! He's our little fur baby, and we couldn't imagine not including Ollie in our wedding day.
We were so happy we were able to have him in some of our bride and groom portraits, and the photos with him are some of our favorites. I'm sure Ollie would have loved to attend the wedding itself so he could personally greet every single wedding guest though!
What is the story of how your dogs became a part of the family?
We had always discussed adding a dog to our family, but none of the conversations ever progressed.
One day, Chris fell in love with a dog at an adoption event. We submitted our application, but unfortunately, someone else had gotten their application in first. Fast forward a few weeks, we were out with some friends, and I was glued to my phone looking at page after page of puppies by the end of the night.
The moment we saw Ollie's photo, we knew he was the one. We made the 2 hour drive out to Asheville a few weeks later to pick him up, and it's safe to say adding Ollie to our family was easily one of the best decisions we've ever made.
Did you incorporate your dogs into any other details on your wedding day?
We only included Ollie in photos on our wedding day, but he did help Chris decorate our apartment for the proposal...and by help decorate, I mean he tried to eat the rose petals that Chris had laid out :)
All dogs are the best dogs, but tell us something that makes your dogs special?
Ollie is the happiest, friendliest dog ever. He loves just about every single dog and human he meets, and his wiggle butt gives it away every time.
He is so energetic but also loves a good nap. We always laugh when Ollie starts barking or sticks out his tongue while deep in sleep - it's the cutest thing ever!
