A friend in a spouse is something we all ask for in marriage. One such happy couple is our beautiful Ashley and the handsome Jared. From great chemistry to being best friends and now spouses, it has been a life-changing journey for them.

Our happily wedded couple met on an online application more than four years ago. None of them were looking for something serious, but who knew that Jared’s invite to Ashley for a beer at a local brewery would be a day they will never forget. They easily clicked, and they managed to close down the bar on their first night together. The couple was inseparable since that day.

One of the many things they enjoyed was doing new things together. Ashley and Jared were big on food. Their dates were all about checking new breweries and finding food trucks. This interest in gastronomic finds became the perfect motif for Jared’s proposal. While on their culinary vacation in Italy, they went to a hilltop and Jared went down on one knee. Ashley describes it as one of the most magical moments of her life.

The Red Rock Canyon was one of the first places they visited after moving to Las Vegas and decided that the place is perfect for their intimate wedding plans. They exchanged vows on the boardwalk at Red Spring in Red Rock Canyon, and they particularly enjoyed having shared this moment with the people closest to them. The day was filled with true love, laughter, and lots of unforgettable moments.

The bride was dressed in a classic off-the-shoulder dress with a sweetheart neckline from David’s Bridal. The groom looked dapper in a navy blue suit and a striped tie. The bridesmaids were dressed in steel blue dresses while all men were dressed in navy blue jackets.

The couple had a blast during the photography session. They climbed rocks, twirled around, and had a great time together. It rained a bit during the shoot, which made Ashley and Jared enjoy the wedding experience even more.

This new life together has surely brought Ashley and Jared’s love for novelty to the next level. We wish the happy couple an amazing and blessed life ahead.
