Ashley and Darick had the final 2021 wedding at Aldea Weddings in the Woods. It was a beautiful, crisp day, and the oaks were still showing off their fall covers. This Flagstaff, AZ venue has a beautiful ceremony location nestled under the ponderosas, a large, covered outdoor dining area, and a fabulous deck for a dance floor. I hope to film here more!

During the ceremony and speeches, there was debate about who was going after who throughout high school and the years that followed. I realized this was all a great sign, as it showed that both were a bit obsessed with the other, and neither were afraid to go big to get what they wanted. I also loved hearing about Darick’s camping trips with the guys, and that all the guys 100% love when Ashely comes along, because she makes the trip better. Seeing a community of friends and family rally behind a couple is one of my favorite things about weddings. Full film above, preview below.
