Andrew and Ashly’s wedding day in Detroit, Michigan was a reflection of a relationship built on partnership, purpose, and deep connection. Both working together in the political landscape, their lives are often fast-paced and outward-facing—but their wedding day felt intentionally grounded, centered around the people who matter most. The day began at the MGM Grand Detroit, where quiet, anticipation-filled moments unfolded during getting ready, leading into an emotional first look that set the tone for everything that followed. From the start, the focus wasn’t just on the events of the day, but on the relationships, the history, and the shared life they’ve built together.


As the celebration moved into the Detroit Institute of Arts, the atmosphere became even more intimate and meaningful. Surrounded by close family and lifelong friends, Andrew and Ashly shared deeply personal, heartfelt vows that brought out raw emotion—not just between the two of them, but across the entire room. The presence of their parents and loved ones played a central role throughout the day, creating moments that felt quiet, powerful, and lasting. Rather than simply documenting a wedding, the film became a story about partnership—about two people who stand side by side in their everyday lives, now surrounded by the same support system as they stepped into this next chapter. Every interaction, every glance, and every tear added to a narrative that felt both deeply personal and universally relatable.
