Ashley and Dan met back in January of 2013 at a whale shark conservation camp on Mafia Island, Tanzania. How rad is that! What a great story. After dating for awhile Dan knew it was time to pop the BIG question but Dan wanted to do something unique and special he discussed with friends and family some ideas. After speaking with his best man, he came up with the idea of engraving something on a wine glass. He planned a weekend away at a wine farm in Cape Town, South Africa and upon arrival, the waitress put the wine glass on the table and on it was, “Ashley, Will You Marry Me?” engraved!! They then had the best weekend celebrating their engagement at the winery! These two are quite the adventurous couple. Ashley and Dan enjoy eating out and finding new breweries, traveling the world, exploring nature through hikes, anything that is water based and they love road trips!

Ashley was ABM’s very first intern 6 years ago and now has a flourishing photography business, Ashley Strong Photography.
