Historic Deven Sycamores Ranch Wedding

Let me transport you to a magical place, where love blossomed and two souls became one under the golden sun of Ivanhoe, California. It was a day overflowing with joy and tender moments, as Audrey and Ben exchanged their wedding vows at the picturesque Historic Seven Sycamores Ranch.

Their love story began with a simple connection in the vast realm of the internet. Audrey, who had almost given up on finding love, decided to embrace the possibility of a few fun dates. Little did she know that fate had something extraordinary in store for her.

As they exchanged messages, their conversations became a beautiful symphony of shared dreams and laughter, growing stronger with each passing day. It wasn’t long before their connection grew so strong that they knew it was time to take the plunge and meet in person.

Their first date was a perfect testament to Ben’s gentle and caring nature. Every subsequent date was filled with enchantment, as Audrey melted into the depths of his charm with each passing moment. It was on their third date that Audrey realized this was the love she had been waiting for, the love that made her heart leap with joy. She knew deep in her soul that Ben was the one she wanted to spend her forever with.

The Proposal

You won’t believe the surprise Ben had planned for Audrey. A trip to San Diego, a city bathed in the hues of romance, served as the canvas for a moment that would forever change their lives. As the sun began to set, casting a warm golden glow upon the world, Ben led Audrey to the breathtaking Sunset Cliffs.

Her heart skipped a beat as she noticed Ben’s nervousness. It was a rare sight, one that made her heart flutter even more. As he knelt down on one knee, time seemed to stand still. With trembling hands, he presented her with a ring that sparkled like the stars themselves. Audrey didn’t shed a single tear in that magical moment. No, she was too overwhelmed with happiness and pure bliss. It wasn’t until the next morning that the magnitude of their commitment hit her. Overwhelmed with love, she wept tears of joy, her heart bursting with gratitude for the beautiful future that awaited them.

Their Favorite Things

Audrey and Ben’s days are filled with countless moments of warmth and togetherness. Wrapped in each other’s arms, they embark on unforgettable adventures through the captivating worlds of anime and K-dramas. Their laughter intertwines with the storylines, creating a symphony of joy that fills their home.

And food? Oh, how they celebrate their shared love for culinary delights. Side by side, they create mouthwatering masterpieces, their kitchen transforming into a sanctuary of flavors and fragrances. With each dish they create, they weave deeper bonds and create memories that are as delicious as the meals themselves.

But let us not forget their connection with the natural world. As they delve into the art of gardening, they witness the miracle of life unfold before their very eyes. Hand in hand, they nurture their own fruits and vegetables, a testament to their love, patience, and commitment to living a sustainable and wholesome life.

The Biggest Joy

And amidst this beautiful tapestry of love, there is Mika, their beloved furry companion. As dog parents, they shower her with endless affection. They play, they buy her toys (so many toys), they take leisurely walks together, and they snuggle in bed, their hearts brimming with love for their four-legged family member.

Kind Words

“Ashley photographed my engagement and wedding. My husband and I loved our experience with her so much that we agreed we need her to photograph all our life milestones from now on. She’s the sweetest person and made us feel really comfortable and confident even though we rarely take pictures. We were stoked with the pictures we received afterwards. You can really tell she put so much time and effort into making our pictures perfect. She responds so quickly to text and email as well. During our first look, my wedding dress got ripped after I got a little too excited to see my husband. Ashley came prepared though! She whipped out a sewing kit and fixed my dress! She’s an amazing person and photographer! My husband and I recommend her for any occasion.” – Audrey + Ben
