<p>Jennifer is a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in the Minneapolis Metro area who believes that creating a good friendship with her clients is the most important thing. She credits this relationship building with the relaxed and uninhibited feel to her photographs.</p>
<blockquote><p>I honestly get teary-eyed when a Bride tells me she loves her photos&#8230;no joke&#8230;.good thing they usually tell me via internet, otherwise I would be completely embarrassed! A good friend of mine told me that our personalities show so much through our photographs. It&#8217;s so true. We photograph what we know, and I know that if you are relaxed and having fun, your pictures will be amazing</p></blockquote>

It is difficult to determine what Ashley loves more: flowers, fashion or weddings?  Her passion for all three is the reason why she has continually created extraordinary designs for stylish brides and grooms across the Twin Cities.  Ashley believes in bringing fresh concepts to each of her clients in the form of flowers from her own garden and the market.</p>
<p><em>“I am inspired by the bride’s dress and the emotions she wants to evoke in her decor.  “Whether it is luxurious and chic or more loose and down to earth, I am sensitive to each bride’s style and requests.”</em></p>
<p>Ashley Fox Designs has been featured in MN Bride and Metro Magazine.</p>

<p>Intricate planning along with relentless attention to detail is absolutely essential. Your guests have traveled to honor you with their presence. Allow L&#8217; event consultants to help you wow them with a savvy celebration, as you embark on the most phenomenal journey of your life.</p>
<p>Day-Of Packages are our #1 bridal selection. We also offer full-service wedding planning, as well as other a&#8217;la carte items such as wedding party dance choreography &amp; invitations.</p>
<p>With the average cost of weddings soaring, think of L&#8217;event as a way to insure your event, just as you would any other precious item.</p>
<blockquote><p>I&#8217;ve walked an aisle in your shoes. As a recent bride and organizational diva, my promise is to alleviate the anxiety often associated with the wedding day. This calls for a seasoned wedding professional, as well as someone who is versed in the arts of coaching, counseling, refereeing and negotiating to delicately smooth the entire process.</p></blockquote>

<p>Jen&#8217;s passion for designing jewelry began while she was planning her own wedding 6 years ago.  Unable to find interesting and high-quality jewelry at a reasonable price, she used her fiance&#8217;s old and oversized tools to make her first piece - her wedding bracelet.  Since then, she&#8217;s upgraded her tools and has been helping brides fulfill their wedding-day vision, exceling  in custom design.</p>
<p>Jen and her jewelry were recently featured on Twin Cities Live, and her jewelry is showcased at various boutiques throughout the country.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">You can find JWP Jewelry Designs online at <a style="color: #7799bb;" href="http://www.jwpjewelry.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #810081;">www.jwpjewelry.com</span></a> or contact Jen directly (612) 384-4672</span></p>
