Ashley and Jordan met in high school, 10 years ago. They met through mutual friends and starting to hang out more and more. The relationship turned into more when Ashley asked Jordan to go to their winter formal together. And as they were dancing to “Amazed” by Lonestar, Jordan asked Ash to be his girlfriend. Ashley couldn’t really hear him and Jordan jokes that it was the longest 3 minutes of his life. But she did say yes and they have been together through college, an after graduation move to Richmond, Virginia and then back closer to home to Chicago in 2017. - To read more about their love story, proposal and see even more of their wedding, head to the blog!

Grey is a feisty little 8 month old today!! I can’t believe we’re 2/3s done with her first year. I might have an emotional meltdown as I start planning her 1st birthday. She’s 18lbs, has 4 teeth with her 5th that cut yesterday and 6th that’s working its way through. She has learned to clap when we say yay or when she’s excited. She has officially learned to pull herself up on everything but hasn’t started cruising yet. She loves saying mama and dada and a bunch of other baby babble. She loves eating pretty much anything but is currently loving, noodles, eggs, beets, sweet potato and pears. She sleeps through the night, except on full moons and loves napping in the car. She’s a wild one and loves to be on the go. I can only imagine what the next 4 months will bring! We’re so excited to continue seeing her grow. We love you to pieces Grey Elizabeth! #greyelizabeth #8months #8monthsold #greyblooms #monthlybabyphoto
Ashley and Jordan met in high school. They were just friends. Until the snowball dance her sophomore year when Jordan asked her to be his girlfriend while dancing to “Amazed” by @lonestarofficial. It took her 3 minutes to answer him but she said yes and 10 years later she didn’t hesitate saying yes to being his wife. We cannot wait to share more about their story and their day, but for now enjoy St. Lucia Mr. and Mrs. Brady!! @ashnicolebrady Vendors: Photo: @catalkirephoto Venue: @the_odyssey_events Florist: @kiokreations DJ: Sounds FX DJ Ceremony Musician: @jperonaguitar Cake:@cakesbybee Cupcakes: @smallcakescupcakery Stationery: @linedgoods Hair/Makeup: @nikimoonsalon Dress Designer: @beloved_bridals Purchased At: Gina’s Bridal Salon Bridesmaids Dresses: @kennedyblueofficial Grooms Attire: @formallymodern

Sometimes life gets hectic. Like when you have a teething 8 month old who wakes up every hour on the hour and then gets woken up by the awesome but early working roofers at 7:30am for the last 3 days. And you have a list full of to-do’s that haven’t been checked off so you can’t find the time to do the everyday tasks/errands like grocery shop. - But instead of getting down I look a pretty little detail photos and it reminds me why I love every part of what I do. I get to photograph the prettiest things for a living. Talk about a dream job. Though it’s hectic, though I want to give 100% of myself to being a mom, I know I could never give up my passion for photographing love, and details and people and babies and happiness. - I want to know what you call work! Do you love what you do? Are you passionate about what fill your days with? I know I am! 🙋🏻‍♀️
It’s officially here!! Who’s ready to wake up the echoes?! I know I am!! Go Irish, you better beat Michigan! @notredame @visitsouthbend #notredame #goirish #beatmichigan #goldendome
