Despite trying to play it cool, I kind of freaked out when Ashley asked me to shoot her and Eric’s wedding. Ashley is one of my favorite wedding photographers so the fact that they even considered me meant a lot. Then there was that part about it being in Italy. Tuscany inspired Brooke and me (I think we decided on buying a villa and spending our summers there. I’ll fly back on the weekends for weddings). But, we were also really touched by Ashley and Eric and their 10 special guests who treated us like part of the family. We had an amazing week. Thank you, Ashley and Eric.
p.s. If you’re contemplating an Italian wedding, call Brenda. She’s awesome. Oh, and stay here.
