Kerry Ann & David's Wedding

Evan and I had a fantastic day being the photographers for Kerry Ann & Davids wedding. Everything was perfect mainly the couple! It was a very hot one mind you but threw all of the sweat doing the outdoor photographs, I had a blast. Through out the evening I looked around and was so amazed by everything, Kerry Anns hard work planing, preparing for this day really shined threw. You did an awsome job Kerry Ann! They where surrounded my many loved ones... a cousin who came all the way from Ireland who was the main priest at the ceremony.. and brought the most precious gift of all with him. .. I bet you are all dying to know......... He brought them the pope's blessing of the marriage. With it came with a picture of the pope, framed had their names, wedding date, and signature of the pope. It was pretty awsome, and one lucky couple. Here are some sneek peeks from todays events...

Changes

As memories by ashley is a new photography business that started back in March, I am still trying to find myself. When I say that I mean it as in the photography business world. Now that my photography is taking off, I need to create an identity that makes myself and business stand out from all of the others.
So with that being said, you may come on this blog or on my website and see small changes or drastic ones. I am always looking to improve my business and finding things that fit can be a tough and time consuming at times. So far with this new lay out and the one on the website I am very happy with and think I will stick with it, until it's time to upgrade certin things.
I guess with me wanting everything and having to learn that at somethings, it takes time to get where you want to be. I know a few photographers that do inspire me and help myself and business grow.Everyone has to start somewhere and I tell ya, I look back and think about from where I was in March to now I am so happy with the progress of my business, and see great things coming from it. I have so many wonderful and support family, friends and clients that encourage me each day.

The Wedding Of Shelly & Tony

This past weekend Evan and I had a wonderful experience photographing the wedding of Shelley and Tony.
The wedding took place in Vineland, and was such a beautiful day for it. For once we had no rain. I have to say that this wedding had me in as much tears as the guests. It was a small wedding with their children and a few close friends. It was so amazing to see how much they truly love each other and their children. During the vow's Tony claimed his love for Shelley, his children and her children.. gosh I am getting goosebumps just thinking about it.

Tony was telling me that the week leading up to the wedding Shelley had a surprise for each day... and on the wedding day it happened to be a limo.
Shelley arrived with nothing but smiles and excitement.. I tell ya it's an amazing feeling that you get when you are there to capture those special moments of LOVE.
I am so great full that Shelley and Tony had let us in on their special day, it will be one wedding that I will never forget.
I hope you both are enjoying yourselves in Cuba :)

Bryson

I took my little guy Bryson out for some photo's the other day. Everyone keeps telling me that I should get him into some sort of modeling. So I thought about it, and thought it wouldn't hurt to start a portfolio of him. Here are a few moments that we captured outside.. the session didn't last too long due to the darn mosquito's eating us alive.

Photo Day #2

As some of you may already know, I host a photo day every once in a while. I think it's a great way for people to come out get some updated portraits done of their family, children or even pets, with out it costing an arm and a leg.
So this past Saturday I hosted a photo day, and we managed to get a few people in due to the lack of sun and down pour of rain.. it wasn't the best day for it. What's with the month of August??
Here are a few sneek peeks of the families that did make it out...

The Miller family-



Next a friend way back from grade 2 came out with her sweet little girl Ryleigh who just turned 6 months old the other day. It was so great seeing her again... and to finally see her little one.. I tell ya facebook is amazing for reuniting school pals.
