From Graduation to Wedding Days ✨

Ashlyn’s journey with Storybook Love began the summer after she graduated high school—and now, heading into her fourth wedding season, she’s grown into a steady, trusted presence on the team.

Her passion for weddings started long before that, though. After helping at her cousin’s wedding (which didn’t have a planner), she discovered just how much she loved being part of the behind-the-scenes magic—setting up, tearing down, and making the day feel seamless.

That was the moment it clicked:

This is what she was meant to do.

The Moment Before the Magic

While the dance floor moments and big emotions are unforgettable, Ashlyn’s favorite part of a wedding day is a quieter one:

That pause after everything is set… before guests arrive… when the bride sees her vision come to life for the first time.

It’s calm. It’s emotional. It’s everything they’ve been dreaming of—right there in front of them.

A Joy-First Approach to Planning

Ashlyn approaches every wedding with one goal in mind:

To protect the couple’s experience.

She knows this is one of the most important days of their lives, and she’s there to make sure they can fully enjoy it—without stress, without worry, and without distractions.

From start to finish, she’s focused on creating a space where couples can be fully present, soaking in every moment and simply having the best time.

The Details That Make Her Smile

Ashlyn has an eye for the sweet, personal touches that make each wedding unique—but there’s one detail that always stands out:

🐾 Pets in weddings.

Whether they’re walking down the aisle or just making a guest appearance, she absolutely loves when couples include their furry family members in their day.

(And honestly… same. 🐶)

The Moments That Get Her Every Time

If there’s one part of the wedding day that always pulls at Ashlyn’s heartstrings, it’s the speeches.

Hearing loved ones share stories, memories, and heartfelt words about the couple? It never gets old—and it never doesn’t make her emotional.

Because those are the moments that remind everyone what the day is really about.

Ashlyn, Off the Timeline

Ashlyn brings the same bright, joyful energy to her everyday life as she does to wedding days.

• ☕ Go-to drink: Any fruity drink on the menu (the more fun, the better!)
• 📝 Three words: Motivated. Outgoing. Enthusiastic.
• ☀️ Instant mood boost: Sunshine, good weather, and an early morning stop for a fun drink

When she’s not at a wedding, you’ll find her working as an optician at an eye clinic—or spending time with her boyfriend and their golden retriever puppy, going on walks or playing fetch.

She’s also incredibly creative, often filling her time with hobbies like sewing, baking, and anything that lets her make something with her hands.

Her Advice (Without Even Saying It)

Ashlyn’s story says it all—weddings are about more than just the big moments.

They’re about being part of something meaningful.
Helping people.
Creating joy.

And making sure every couple feels celebrated in a way that’s completely their own.

Trends She’s Loving Right Now

Ashlyn is especially loving the shift toward meaningful, lasting guest book experiences.

Think:

✨ Vinyl records signed by guests
✨ Artwork that becomes home décor
✨ Keepsakes couples can cherish for years to come

And of course… she’ll always be a fan of weddings that include a beloved dog somewhere in the day. 🐾

She loves bringing people together.
