Take My Picture!

I coordinated an amazing stop-you-in-your-tracks holiday party at a private residence in Paradise Valley. To say the least, it was incredible. I had the pleasure of meeting Michael & Jill (yes, they are married and yes they work together....amazing, I know) owners of The Self Portrait Studio. Which basically allows you to have an oversized photo booth at your event!! Examples of their talent below...





April Showers ~ Part I

I am sure you remember the saying from your childhood "April Showers Bring May Flowers." Over the next week Ashley Gain Weddings & Events will be featuring fun ideas for your big day all stemming from our inspiration...RAIN!

So today we start with umbrellas. Mary Poppins made them famous, and most brides pray that they won't really need them on their big day! But they make for a beautiful prop for bridal party pictures....rain or shine!


A great site to visit if bellaumbrella.com. Vintage, chic, girly and classic umbrellas are ALL Bella Umbrella does! You can rent or buy them. Even give them to to your bridesmaids as their bridal party gift. And yet with all this rain inspiration, it is a sunny beautiful day in Arizona.Well, it's fun to pretend!




A little shout out to my past.....Here I am, 4 years old with my first umbrella and my little sister Sarah (sorry Sarah, I just couldn't crop you out). I can remember how girly that umbrella made me feel. :)
