Ashleigh + Jake | Wedding at The Sterling at Arrowhead

I had the honor of photographing Ashleigh and Jake for their engagement session long before their beautiful wedding at The Sterling at Arrowhead. We started at Lucky Day downtown, wandered around City Hall, and—because it wouldn’t be them without it—ended with some Bills photos. They might be the biggest Bills fans I’ve ever met!

How It All Started

Before their wedding, I also had the chance to photograph them during my holiday minis. That’s when I met their sweet pup, Cannoli, for the first time. I knew right away he was part of the family’s story!

Getting Ready for the Big Day

Fast forward to their wedding day—August 31st, 2025.

Jake got ready at home, surrounded by his Bills gear. Meanwhile, Ashleigh was with her crew in the most beautiful space—the bridal suite at The Sterling at Arrowhead.

After getting ready, we headed to the church for their ceremony. They shared their vows, took family photos at the altar, and had the sweetest bubble exit with all their favorite people cheering them on.

The Celebration at The Sterling at Arrowhead

When we arrived at the reception for their wedding at The Sterling at Arrowhead, Cannoli made another appearance. He completely stole the spotlight for a little while—and honestly, rightfully so. After Cannoli headed home, I got to spend some time with just Ashleigh and Jake. They’re effortless together, so genuine, and such a joy to photograph.

A Sparkling Ending to a Perfect Day

Jake’s words of the day were “just trust me.” I’m so glad we did. It led to some of the most beautiful photos and the most epic ending to a wedding at The Sterling at Arrowhead—complete with a sparkler exit, a canoe send-off, and a last dance that felt straight out of a movie.

A Note of Gratitude

Ashleigh and Jake, thank you for letting me be part of this season of your lives. You brought the party, the love, and reminded me exactly why I adore what I do.
