CLIENT SPOTLIGHT<br />
ASHLEY & TOM<br />
I recently had the privilege of photographing Ashley & Tom’s beautiful winter wedding.<br />
How can you be prepared for the biggest day of your life so far?<br />
Here, Ashley & Tom share:<br />
THE BEST ADVICE FOR A BRIDE.<br />
My biggest advice to a soon-to-be bride would be to not stress about every little detail.<br />
On the day of you won’t even get a chance to see half of those details, and chances<br />
our your guests won’t notice them all either. However, I feel a bit guilty giving that<br />
advice because I heard it a million times while planning and it just added to my stress.<br />
So if you’re anything like me, then every time you do get stressed about the big day<br />
remember why you’re planning it. You’re about to celebrate what is likely the biggest<br />
commitment you’ve made to date- that’s what really matters. And trust me, it will be<br />
the best day of your life.<br />
THE BIGGEST SURPRISE ABOUT THEIR WEDDING DAY.<br />
It flew by!!! In a blink of an eye the day was over. All the pictures you get will be so<br />
treasured because they will remind you about all the little moments, the details, and<br />
the love you were surrounded by. Take a moment to get away in a quiet corner with<br />
your groom and just take it all in. All those people you see are there to support you<br />
and celebrate your marriage. It’s wonderful!<br />
THEIR FAVORITE PHOTO MOMENT.<br />
In a lot of ways the engagement photo session was my favorite. Tom and I were<br />
considering not even doing engagement pictures, and I’m so glad we didn’t skip that<br />
time. Not only did we have a ton of beautiful pictures to incorporate into the wedding<br />
day, but it was such a great reminder of what we were getting ready to celebrate!<br />
WHAT THEY LOVED MOST ABOUT WORKING WITH YOUR<br />
STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY.<br />
James is so much fun! He’s personable and funny. All the smiles and all the laughs on<br />
our wedding day were so genuine. You don’t always think about how much time you’re<br />
going to be spending with your photographer on your wedding day when you’re<br />
getting ready to book. I can’t tell you how much better your pictures will turn out if<br />
you’re enjoying taking them. And it wasn’t just that Tom and I were having a blast,<br />
the whole wedding party was laughing and enjoying themselves. We got so many<br />
compliments about James from family and friends who got to see him do his thing.<br />
HOW TO TAME THOSE WEDDING DAY NERVES.<br />
For me it was going for a run the morning of by myself. Running is my stress relief and<br />
I made sure to take that time in the morning so I could soak it all in before the day’s<br />
festivities started. Whatever helps you on a normal day, incorporate that in. A good<br />
mimosa sure helps too! ;)<br />
WHICH ONE MOMENT WILL LAST FOR THEM FOREVER.<br />
This is such a heard question! I think the first dance was such a special time for Tom<br />
and I to have a moment alone and listen to a song that is near and dear to us. But I<br />
could go on and on about all the moments I treasure from our wedding day. Thank<br />
god, I have so many great pictures to relive them!<br />
