nd let our personalities shine through our photos. We were so excited to work with her in our chosen engagement photo space and so many of the best photos were actually ones that were unplanned!

We are so excited to have her back for our wedding in June 2022 after a two year engagement 🤗

ily members and had very little structure, but Ashley jumped in and provided us with wonderful pictures! She got great shots of our tiny wedding, and really helped organize our guests to get all the group shots we wanted safely and quickly.

ure of the shower favors with the brides flowers. Instead of picking random favors, she chose mine and the bride’s. It was so thoughtful!

Her beautiful pictures will now a special memory we will have forever. We were so lucky to have Gem Creations capture this special day.
