“We like to think of ourselves wedding doulas. Helping couples transition perfectly from one stage of their relationship into the next. In our hearts, weddings are all about being surrounded by the pack of people you've chosen to share this moment with. We are honored to become a part of your pack and for you to become a part of ours.”
- Ash + Jake
How did we fall in love?!
Here's our little love story:
Ash + Jake were both over the New York City dating scene. But one fateful night, they were dragged out to a bar in the West Village (ironically called "The Bitter End"). Ash was across the bar when Jake walked in and they immediately locked eyes. Ash (wanting to get a better look) decided she'd go grab some drinks for herself and her friend. Not seeing the cute tall man anywhere she headed back to her spot and there he was chatting away with her friend getting as much info on Ash as he possibly could. Jake dropped the line, "I'm a photographer and need hair and makeup for projects all the time...here's my card". Little did Ash know, Jake was a photojournalist at the time and didn't need hair and makeup for any projects...ever. In fact, he mostly shot portraits on the street back then. Long story short: they soon went on what Ash thought was a business meeting and Jake figured was a first date. After an hour of awkward conversation the sparks flew and one week later Jake moved in with Ash. Jake must have been clairvoyant and knew he would work with Ash eventually one way or another...
Two magical children, three businesses and five fur babies later and here we are!
When we aren’t having the time of our lives helping couples get ushered into unions, you can find us exploring out in nature with our wolf pups (#wolveswhowander) or creating some kind of magic gathering with our passion projects RÜTED and ONE SONG! We host full moon gatherings often, so please reach out if you feel the HOWL!
