About Us
HEY THERE --
We are
Ashley & Ben
Word on the street is, you’re in love, which means we already have something in common and can fast forward through at least a little bit of the “hi, we have 3 kids, a dog child and a unicorn cat and use coffee as a survival tool” type small talk to get to the deeper things of life - because guys? We’re just a couple of romantics over here who get a little over excited watching people share their most pivotal life moments with their people.
Since we’ve already prepared you with the facts (meaning, we’re a couple of sappy love nuts), we might as well just get into the ish. We’ve been doing this marriage thing for over a decade, and watching others do it (you know, as a career type thing) for almost as long, so here’s what we’ve learned about the whole love business-- Maybe you can relate.
Love is all the contradictory feelings. It’s the I don’t want to’s but I will’s. The I don’t like you so much right now, but it doesn’t matter because I’ll always love you’s. The “sure, you can totally have the window seat” even though the middle seat is the worst.
Love is the daily giving up of “your” life for the “our life.” It's saying "I do," not just once, but every single day.
For the Couples who Believe
Here's the Thing...
The
Quirks are our Favorite
Your wedding day doesn't need to be a perfectly orchestrated Mozart symphony, (as much as your planner might want it to be - no judjment, we love a little drama from time to time).
What it is, is a whirlwind of shifting emotions, delightful chaos, and probably a few things not going as planned (you know, JUST LIKE LIFE). Our job? To be the steadying force that reminds you you're exactly where you need to be with the person you're meant to be with, to keep doing the breathing thing, hydrate, and above all, be present. We blend in like ninjas, (even with Ben's dance floor high kicks), making sure every lingering look, surprise belly laugh, and spontaneous dance-off gets logged on ye ol' Nikon's so you can relive the bits that matter most for the ever and ever.
Traditions Make Great Suggestions
You'll never hear us say "now tilt your head 32 degrees and imagine you're a slightly confused flamingo."
We don't pose as much as we witness. Your wedding isn't a performance. All we really need in order to create some magic is for you to be wildly in love and let that be awesome. Our promise? You'll never feel staged, only seen. Because when we're flipping through the mental scrapbook of our lives someday, it won't be the perfectly posed stuff we'll treasure most. We'll cherish the moments where we felt most ourselves.
And hey... for what it's worth, we pour our whole selves - minds, hearts, bodies, and souls into every wedding we take on, which means we can only accept a limited amount of bookings per year. Wanna be one of them? Send us your date.
Our personal scrapbook
We're usually the ones documenting all your wild, beautiful memories - but turnabout is fair play, right? .In the spirit of "let's actually get to know each other," here's a little scrapbook of our everyday chaos and joy.
