Hi, friends. After so many years and so many sacred days with so many of you, I'm closing Beginning and End Photography to new clients. Every wedding already on my calendar this year is still happening, and I'm with you every step, all the way to your final gallery. After that, I'm hanging up the camera.
It feels a little surreal to type that out.
For so many years, I've gotten to be the one standing beside you in Olympic National Park, on the Oregon Coast, in the rain, in the wind, in the quiet right before you said your vows. I've gotten to know your dogs and your moms and the way you looked at each other when you thought no one was watching. I've cried with you more times than I can count. I have so many stories I will carry forever.
Thank you. For trusting me with the most important day of your life. For every adventure. For letting me close enough to see your real story. I will never stop being grateful.
What's next for me is Elope Atlas, a planning platform I've been quietly building for couples eloping somewhere wild. It's where my heart is going now.
If you're a couple dreaming up an elopement of your own, please come over. I'll be there.
Your gallery is yours forever. If a link breaks, if you need a new download, or if you just want to say hi, email me. Always. ashley@beginningandendphoto.com
