Hello, and welcome to the AeBlog! I'm Ashley Brunell, and my husband, Isaac, and I are a wedding photography team based in Camas, Washington. We hope you grab some coffee (or a sweet tea, in my case) and enjoy viewing our latest work and getting a little peek into our life!
Making wedding photography easier (and more fun!) with tips on how to own your day!
Hi, I'm Ashley Brunell
Welcome Friends
This weekend was a blast! It was our first Memorial Day Weekend in LA, and took advantage!
Kiddos got out of school at noon on Friday, and we went straight to lunch and the park. Saturday, we slept in, got a new washer, (perk about renting and living in an apartment, one phone call and everything is handled), then we went to the movies! We saw the new live action Aladdin. I was pleasantly surprised. I like it. Afterwards, we went to the Apple Store. If anyone tells you not to buy the Apple Care, do not listen! I was having issues with my phone, and with no questions asked, handed me a new phone. And since we were already in Manhattan Beach, we decided to actually head down to the beach. I have never been down there. Beautiful! Stubbled on a great 25/7 diner for dinner, then headed home.
Sunday, we slept in again, and with everyone off on Monday, we decided to go to Universal Studios! Got there around 4pm, and stayed until close. When we moved to the LA area last year, we bought the annual pass to Universal Studios. Best decision ever!
