When I first moved to California, rebuilding a social circle was one of the things I dreaded most. Thankfully, I found an amazing community through my local yoga studio (and the teachers are epic too), and over the years have become more and more involved.

Ashley was one of the first people I got to know, and she has been a steadfast friend, being part of the team I put together for a yogathon raising funds for lung cancer, and despite the insanity of 108 Sun Salutations, she was part of the team again for the next year, even doubling as banana hand model (no, it’s not as dirty as it sounds…).

Ashley and Adam have been together for almost 10 years now (9 years and 8 months, to be exact) so when she contacted me a few weeks about shooting their “make it legit” ceremony at the Beverly Hills Courthouse, I just knew I had to be there.

Though it was a short, simple civil ceremony, there was no lack of emotion and joy, and every bit as beautiful and significant as a ‘full production’ wedding.

It was such an honor to share in their day and join their immediate family in celebrating this milestone in their lives. And… as if I had to point it out, Ashley looked absolutely AMAZING and impeccably stylish. Adam, you look good too.

Congrats you two, and thanks for having us! SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone look so badass while talking on the phone. Until now.

Their matching tattoos are the coolest I’ve ever seen: read one way, it says ‘Adam’, and the other, it says ‘Ashley’. AWESOME.
