Clovis Wedding

Tia and Ariana, two souls intertwined in a tale of fate and friendship, found their way to each other after growing up in the same neighborhood. Although they were aware of each other’s existence, it wasn’t until high school that they started talking as friends. Life took them on different paths, but they crossed each other’s paths again in college. Finally, on the third encounter, Tia gave Ariana a chance. And oh, what an adventure it has been ever since. An adventure that has nourished their souls and illuminated their love.

The Proposal Under the Stars

One evening, Tia and Ariana were traveling under the night sky to visit family. Ariana, knowing Tia’s adoration for the stars, pulled over their skoolie (a converted school bus). In the gentle glow of the headlights, with the sparkle of countless stars above, Ariana knelt down and proposed to Tia. Can you imagine the emotions swirling in the air? Their love, sealed under the vastness of the nighttime sky, became a beacon of hope and happiness, guiding them through the twists and turns of their journey together.

Unshakeable Bond

Today, Tia and Ariana live in a petite, yet charming, converted skoolie. The closeness of their living space reflects their unbreakable bond. They find joy in taking their beloved pets on walks and embarking on adventures where they search for hidden treasures like fossils, feathers, and other precious artifacts. Even in their work, Tia and Ariana often find themselves side by side, completing handiwork tasks or engaging in farm work. Their shared experiences deepen their connection and nourish their souls. They are not just partners; they are companions, journeying through life hand in hand.

As full-time travelers, Tia and Ariana have embraced the freedom of the open road. They have made wanderlust a way of life. Finding joy in the simplest of pleasures and capturing the essence of every moment they encounter.

Clovis Wedding Day

Tia and Ariana’s union was celebrated in an intimate affair, surrounded by their closest friends and family.

Instead of elaborate catering, they opted for something delightfully simple – pizza! From their favorite pizza shop, slices of cheesy goodness adorned the tables, providing sustenance for their guests. They served sparkling soda floats, a charming and refreshing choice that perfectly captured their fun-loving spirits.

Tia and Ariana’s wedding day was not just a celebration of love. It was a day filled with laughter, surrounded by the people who hold a special place in their hearts. A day where they invited their loved ones to witness and embrace their love story, etching memories into their souls and creating a tapestry of love that will forever be a guiding light in their lives.

The First Connection

As I reminisce about Tia and Ariana’s wedding, I can’t help but recall the first time our paths crossed. It was during an extended family photo session, capturing the precious moments of their loved ones. Little did I know then, the richness of their love story that was waiting to unfold. Being there to witness and document the beginning of their beautiful journey filled my heart with joy and gratitude. To have the opportunity to be a part of their intimate wedding day, encapsulating the love and happiness through my lens, was an honor that I hold dear.

Kind Words

“Ashley is AMAZING!! She did family photos for us a few years ago and they were incredible so it was a no brainer to hire her as our wedding photographer! Working with her doesn’t feel like work. She is very considerate of everything you want and is very flexible when it comes to a schedule or plan. She had a few months to finish our wedding album and we received the gallery in full in only a couple weeks. We now have beautiful memories and photos of our wedding day that we will cherish forever. Thank you so much Ashley!!” – Tia
