"I came across Ashwood VA whilst searching for a virtual assistant and I'm so glad I found her! She has been fantastic from the start and always there to offer guidance, new ideas, support when I'm stuck and works at a pace I am comfortable with. Since working together the biggest transformation is my CRM. Right from our first phone call, I have had more clarity and feel a lot less overwhelmed, giving me more time to focus on photography and other aspects of my business. If you are on the fence about getting a VA, get in touch with Emilie, she has been a massive help"

Ever looked at your to-do list and felt your heart sink at those huge tasks waiting there? Like “revamp website” (which has probably been sitting pretty for way longer than I'd care to admit).

We’ve all been there. It’s like deciding to clean your entire house the day after shooting a full-day wedding — it's overwhelming and, let’s be real, probably not gonna happen.

So, what’s the trick? Break. It. Down. 

Instead of “Revamp website”:
• Pick new website theme
• Update portfolio photos
• Write fresh about me copy

Bite sized tasks = less daunting and way more doable. Plus, it gives you the satisfaction of crossing things off your list more often. And who doesn’t love that!

Got a big, scary task you’ve been avoiding? Share it in the comments and let’s break it down together! Sometimes, two heads are better than one.

In case you've been hiding under a rock, I recently got married! 🎉 It was seriously amazing, everything we'd hoped for. But planning it was a real eye-opener.

I couldn't help but notice some stuff. Little things that kept popping up, stuff that might not seem like a big deal to wedding suppliers, but can really put off couples who are trying to make decisions.

So, I thought, why not share what I've learned?

If you're working in the wedding industry – whether you're a photographer, planner, florist, stylist, venue, or anyone else helping to bring those big days to life – I've got some insights that might help.

I've put all down in a blog post. If you're curious, give it a read (link's in my bio). I'd love to hear what you think!

And if you're a couple planning your wedding I'd love to hear from you too! What are wedding suppliers doing that's giving you the ick? Or better yet, what's raising a massive green flag?

I have to admit, I welled up a little after receiving this. That was 3 years ago... and I'm still busy working behind the scenes for them.

My clients inspire me so much with the hard work, love, and determination they pour into their businesses. Being by their side, helping them get to where they want to be, is an honour I'm forever grateful for. I flippin' love what I do!
