Ashley was married on September 30, 2008, on the beach by the dark lava rocks of Oahu’s east coast, with an aisle of bright orange flowers and her family gathered on the sand. She was so happy she threw her bouquet in the air before the ceremony even began.
Ashley and her groom were staying at a beach home in Lanikai, so after the wedding we did their photo tour there: palm trees, twirls on the white sand and a playful trash the dress shoot in the turquoise water. Then we finished at the cliffs of Makapuu, where Ashley played with rainbow chiffon in the wind.
