Ashton’s favorite part of the wedding day is when couples decide to have a “first look” and get to spend a moment alone soaking in that special moment with each other without anyone around.
Ashton is a Virginia Tech alumni, where she played softball, and received both her undergraduate and Master’s degree.
Ashton enjoys concerts, hiking, traveling with friends, her mom’s home cooking, Virginia Tech football games and spending time with her 3-year-old Pit bull mix named Annie. She also admits that her day is not complete without an iced latte in her hand!
