Ashley & Mile’s Beautiful Chevy Chase Wedding

Ashley and Mile met at the gym in 2015 where they both shared a love for working out. They connected right away and their love grew, they then got engaged in 2022 while hiking in Colorado. Ashley and Mile have been together for over 8 years and tied the knot officially last year on August 26th, 2023!

Conrad first got to know Ashley and Mile (and their adorable dogs Buzz and Apollo!) at their engagement session in October 2022. He loved spending time with this caring, fun and laid-back couple; it was such an honor for us to celebrate with their family and friends this year at their wedding at Chevy Chase!

Ashley and Mile’s wedding day fell right at the tail end of this Summer’s epic cicada explosion, but true to their laid-back nature the newlyweds just rolled with it and didn’t let the bugs bother them. They said that the cicadas were “paid actors” during their ceremony and didn’t mind them landing on their wedding clothes (and even Mile’s nose!!) throughout the day! Ashley’s sister Gina went through the process of becoming ordained so she could marry Ashley and Mile last year during their backyard wedding. This time around Ashley’s Aunt officiated during their beautiful ceremony on the green at Chevy Chase. Ashley wrote long and thoughtful vows while Mile “winged it” for his, but both were from the heart and sweet declarations of their unending love for one another.

After their touching ceremony we settled in for an epic celebration – Ashley and Mile danced to Taylor Swift and were treated to a GORGEOUS sunset during dinner (we sure do LOVE having the chance to take sunset photos at Chevy Chase!) We had the best time at this unforgettable wedding, what an honor for us to be a part of this perfect day!

Congratulations, Ashley and Mile, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Bridget & Conor’s Sweet Chevy Chase Country Club Wedding

Bridget and Conor met after being set-up by his sister and her sister-in-law. Ann and Katie are best friends and neighbors and thought that Bridget and Conor would make a perfect match. They first connected at a backyard party hosted by Bridget’s brother and started dating the Summer of 2020. They were engaged two years later at the gorgeous Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool in Lincoln Park and started their journey to becoming husband and wife.

Leading up to Bridget and Conor’s wedding I had only connected with them over Zoom, I was excited to meet them in person on the big day! I arrived at the Westin North Shore for getting ready photos and was excited to finally spend time with Bridget! She looked absolutely gorgeous in her Martina Liana gown, and after the sweetest reveal with her bridesmaids we made time for portraits of Bridget on the balcony. The sun was shining and the Fall color was at it’s peak, it was a beautiful day!

When we arrived at St. James for Bridget and Conor’s traditional Catholic ceremony the excitement was palpable amongst their friends and family. Conor was a bit nervous but that surely melted away when he saw his gorgeous bride coming down the aisle. Following the ceremony we took family photos on the front steps of St. James – both Bridget and Conor have big families and it was such fun to see everyone together celebrating! From there we went to Lake Arlington for photos before landing at Chevy Chase for the evening.

Throughout the day Conor would joyfully sweep Bridget up in his arms, it was so sweet to see him carry her with the biggest smile on his face. These two were meant to be, they complement one another and truly make the perfect pair. One of our favorite moments from the day was Bridget and Conor’s beautiful choreographed first dance, it may have been one of the best first dances we have ever seen. Their wedding was an amazing day that we were truly honored to be a part of!
