Ashley is my kind of bride – she’s taken her interest (i.e. adventure sports) and incorporated it into an element of her wedding. The adrenaline-junkie bride-to-be had bridal portraits taken ahead of her big day – with an adventurous and offbeat twist.

Her photographer, Cory Ryan was on hand to capture her in her native habitat. “Ashley is one of the most adventurous brides I’ve ever met, and we hit it off instantly! Her hobbies include BMX biking, wake boarding & surfing, and her favorite color is pink. So we custom designed Ashley’s session to reflect her love of fun and adventure!”

“I love the fact that she came prepared with tons of props and even put pink stickers to spell out “BRIDE” on the front of her BMX bike,” Cory says,  “and getting a bride on a bike in her dress is no easy feat! We shot this session all around Austin, TX a few weeks before her destination wedding in the Turks-Caicos.”

Now there’s something you don’t see every day – Ashley definitely has The Quirk Factor.
