These little boys 💜 Gearing up for the last of my 2019 weddings this month (including one tomorrow!) and loving getting to spend Friday movie nights with this crew! Also, so excited for tomorrow! We have a third team member in tow so my expectations for some behind the scenes is high. See you on stories tomorrow and have a great Friday friends! @kellybramanphotography
One more share from this pretty shoot! Flowers, flowers, flowers. I can’t get enough of them and in my opinion they set the tone and style for any wedding. I won’t lie, the whimsical, natural arrangements and bouquets are the ones that get me the swooniest. Just yesterday I was chatting with @michaelanoelledesigns and @amyosabaevents about our own wedding flowers. I had light blue hydrangea while Amy had calla Lily’s and red roses. I think Michaela wins best personal florals with her dahlias, garden roses and ranunculus! What flowers did you choose for your wedding?! . . . . . #ashleyslaterweddings #weddingflowers #michiganweddingphotographer #michigandfilmphotographer #dahlias
Gotta love a fun bridal party! This crew was up for all the shenanigans. Shared this full wedding on the blog today (link in profile)! #ashleyslaterweddings
Peaches aren’t just for summer 🍑 What I like most about this table scale is the color palette because it can be so summer but it transitions into fall. In fact, if I lived somewhere warmer where you could eat outdoors at Thanksgiving wouldn’t this make such a pretty table for just that?! If any of you want tot try and eat outside in Michigan let me know 😂 . . . #weddingwednesday #weddingtablescape #michiganweddingphotographer
Almost one year ago I was photographing this gorgeous bride with all the fresh fall color in the background. I just love what I do so much and getting to be creative like we did here pumps me up! // housekeeping things—We have a brand new wedding hitting the blog first thing tomorrow so be sure to come check back! Second, the team is shooting a wedding this weekend and I will be sharing lots of behind the scenes! Third, you guys are awesome and I appreciate your support and kind words about the work I share here! That is all 😊 happy Tuesday 👊🏻 . . . #ashleyslaterweddings #michiganweddingphotographer #michiganfilmphotographer
It’s a frigid 35 degrees this morning and I can’t even believe I took this picture just a couple of weeks ago in 90 degree heat! I hope you all have a great weekend and get your apple and pumpkin picking done if you haven’t (Robinettes has apple cider slushes which are as amazing as they sound, you’re welcome!) I can’t wait to see you back here next week to share a pretty wedding with @moderndaycollective as well as the rest of the gorgeous fall mini sessions! Happy Saturday!
Happy Friday! Have you been to an apple orchard yet this fall? Just got film scans back from apple orchard minis last week and I’m dying over these. Look at how cute this mama and her sweet little girl are 😍 can’t wait to share more soon! Who wants to get on my list for next years fall minis?!
Wedding dress fluffing is something you can find me doing every wedding day but I bet you didn’t know this: I’ve sewn a bride into her ripped dress once, gotten red wine out of a gown minutes before going down the aisle and have even taken my own earrings off to let a bride use when hers went missing before. As much as I’m able, I want to make sure your wedding day goes off without a hitch and I absolutely love it! #ashleyslaterweddings (and you can look for this particular wedding coming to my blog next week!)
Oh hey, it’s me! Happy Friday and #fridayintroduction friends! So some random things about me? 1. My hair is usually always a complete frizzy mess, just like in this photo and I’ve yet to find the remedy for that so if you have any good suggestions let me know. 😂 2. I LOVE wedding photography and everything about wedding days. I *do* shoot other things but since it’s my passion you’ll mostly see those kinds of photos around here! 3. If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life it would probably be sushi with a close tie for seafood Alfredo pasta. Funny enough, I’m not the biggest fan of cooked fish and prefer it totally raw! 😬 4. I have three little boys so I’m well versed in all things pirates, construction and cars. 5. I signed up to run a 1/2 marathon which is happening TOMORROW. So if you think about me between 8:30-10:30 est tomorrow I’d totally appreciate a little prayer that I don’t injure myself or get super sick (it’s cold and supposed to rain!) THANKS FRIENDS! If I don’t have a heart attack I’ll see you back here on Monday! 🤪🤣 rare photo of me by @kellybramanphotography 😘
Wedding Wednesday! And guess what? This wedding is live on my blog today so if you didn’t get enough from my stories yesterday, head to the website to get all the goodness! In the meantime, enjoy the prettiest wedding shoes by @bellabelleshoes ! #weddingwednesday #weddingshoes #michiganweddingphotographer #traversecityweddingphotographer
Happy (Wedding!) Wednesday! Recessionals are such a fun moment, and newsflash!, sparklers aren’t the only way to do it. Rose petal toss? Bubbles? Yes please! These are very fun, inexpensive ways to add a mega dose of beauty to your wedding day. Don’t these two look like they’re having a blast?! Hoping to share this full wedding this week! . . . #northernmichiganwedding #traversecitywedding #michiganfilmphotographer #traversecityweddingphotographer #weddingceremony
#northernmichiganmonday is brought to you by a hazy, beautiful sunset in Empire, Michigan. The views from empire beach are stunning! #puremichigan
I loved doing beach mini sessions this year so much and it was such a treat to work with so many families with little ones (we all know kids only last for about 20 minutes at so these small sessions are perfect!) This is one shot from the Coleman family that I just love! #ashleyslaterphotography
Ah, such a beauty of a bride! Her dress was to dieeee for too! Swipe right to see a sweet moment with the bride and her mom as she got dressed 😊 I’m halfway finished with this wedding and just can’t help myself sharing as I go! . #ashleyslaterweddings #traversecityweddingphotographer #northernmichiganweddingphotographer
