Ashley

Hi my name is Ashley.  I'm super excited that you visited my blog. 

I work with Studio563, an awesome studio here in Austin.  I have been doing wedding photography for 5 years now.  It's such a blast.  Weddings are my absolute favorite thing to shoot next to my uber-cute daughter.  I have a 5 year old daughter that keeps my life busy with never a dull moment.  She's what drives me in life. I post alot updates about our studio or different events around town.  I also post alot of recent work or some personal photos on here.  So check back often cause there's always something fun to see.

jodie and todd

Wow is all I can say about this wedding.  Jodie and Todd are such a great couple together.  They wanted a super fun country wedding.  I would say they achieved it!  I think my favorite part of it was the old truck they brought in, it made for some really awesome photos of them.

Stacy at Petal Pushers combined with Cortney from BZ Events makes for awesome details.  Enjoy the photos.

erika and hans part 2

It’s been a long time coming for these photos.  I had so much fun at Erika and Hans’ wedding.  It was so great to see some of my really great friends finally take a huge step in their relationship.  I was so honored to be able to photograph another great photographers wedding.  They had their wedding out at Star Hill Ranch….an awesome spot.  Anytime I can shoot out there, I love it!!  Imagine going back in time and exploring an old west town, minus the livestock and men with guns at high noon.  Anyway, here’s their photos.

stefanie and mike

This was such a beautiful wedding.  The ceremony was at Riverbend Smith chapel, which is a gorgeous chapel.  The couple was so great and laid back.  All the wedding party got a ride to the church in a stretch hummer limo.  It was fun!  After the ceremony we headed over to the Renaissance hotel in the Glass Oaks Ballroom.  Another awesome spot.  The details were awesome for this wedding and the crowd made for some really fun photos later in the night.  I am so glad that I got to be there with you you guys.  Thanks for having me.

kristin and jeremy

This was a wedding that I was so looking forward to.  I had met with Kristin and Jeremy and found out that I was also shooting her sisters wedding.  Since her sister’s wedding was so much fun, I knew this wasn’t going to disappoint.  And they delivered.  The ceremony was at St. Martin’s Lutheran church downtown and then we headed over to the Texas Women’s Federation Mansion for the reception.  I love shooting at the mansion….it’s so gorgeous and huge.  They rented out the whole thing so it was really neat to explore around.  Anyway, here are the photos for another awesome couple.

Amanda and Rob

I got to hang out with this awesome couple last week.  They were totally up for hanging out and just exploring to find some super cool places.  It was a great time and I’m so excited that the weather cooperated.  I mean it was beautiful!  It was funny because Rob wasn’t as into the photos….which is the case with most guys, but by the end of it he was willing to strut his stuff.  I can’t wait for the wedding.  It’s going to be awesome.

Liz and Xavi

It finally happened.  It was so much fun!!

This is my very long time friend Liz and her new husband Xavi.  This was such a great event and it was great to see how everything came together.  I got to follow her on her wedding blog here so I got to see how it went all the way through.  I knew there was alot of planning that went into weddings, but I had never gotten to see the full extent. The ceremony was held at Abiding Love Lutheran, which is a photographer’s dream for lighting. Then the reception was held at the newly opened Waterford House.   All the details were so awesome.  She is a Martha Stewart and made so much of the decorations and everything.  I am so glad that she hired a day of coordinator….it helped her go through the day so smoothly.  Pam at Celebrations event planning was wonderful.  The cake was from Michelle’s Patisserie…wonderful like always.  The get away cars were awesome.  Antique Limos just recently started using an awesome 1979 Firebird.  I LOVE IT!!  Anyway, it was such a great event, so many people there to celebrate and have a great time.  Thank you Liz and Xavi for having me, it was such an honor and I had a blast!!

kathryn and collin

I had the chance to hang out with another awesome couple.  Man it has been a great month for wonderful weddings.  But then again I love all my couples and all the weddings I shoot.  I mean who doesn’t love going to a wedding where all you see is happiness and love and togetherness all rolled into one celebration.  That and I don’t know of very many girls that don’t dream of their weddings, so it’s like I get to live it again and again.  Anyway, back to the wedding.  This one was Austin Country Club, which is beautiful!!  The ceremony was there, which I was super excited about.  It was a rainy day, but that didn’t stop it from being a beautiful event.  I mean look at the ceremony spot!!  Well, I was so thankful to be a part of their day.  Enjoy the photos!

They had a photo booth.  Oh my gosh.  It was such a blast.  I think there was only 5 minutes that thing wasn’t being crammed with people.  I admit it, I got in there too!!  I’ll show you those some other time.

chelsea and jay tom

This wedding was awesome.  Well, I mean all my weddings are awesome, but I love shooting at the Terrace Club.  I try to shoot out there as much as possible.  The day was pulled together well with a wonderful set of vendors.  Kristen and Hunter at the Terrace club are so helpful.  Donna at Central Market did the flowers.  Michelle’s Patisserie did the cakes, and I have to say the chocolate cake was SO yummy!!  Kevin at FC Media kept the party going all night and you could tell the guests didn’t want to leave.  Then the couple left in a super cool antique Cadillac from Antique Limos. Julio helped me out at this wedding….what can I say he did awesome.  The shot below was his.

kara and brad

I got to hang out with Kara and Brad again at their wedding.  It was such a beautiful event.  Everything was just as they planned.  It was even a sunny day…little warm, but still beautiful sunny.  Their wedding and reception were at Nature’s Point.  This is such a cool venue…..it has the awesome decks that overlook the deck.  Kind of gave me some vertigo cause they’re glass, but it makes for awesome photos.  Kara and Brad were so laid back at their wedding.  It made for such a great event.  Enjoy the photos!!
