Casa Ybel Attends the Opening of Ashley Brockington's New Photography Studio!

Casa Ybel Resort was honored to have been invited to the Grand Opening of Ashley Brockington's new photography studio on April 16, 2009. Ashley and Sam Brockington, one of our Preferred Vendors, are the owners of Ashley Brockington Photography, as well as Red Box Photography. They specialize in hip, chic, modern photography for weddings, engagement photos, portraits, and everything in between! They are an insanely talented duo, who provide one of the best products I have ever seen. Their studio more than matches their personal and profession style, and I am so proud of what they have accomplished! The studio is, from top to bottom, a masterpiece, and I am sure it will do wonders to help attract brides. I cannot imagine being a bride, walking into that studio, and not being impressed by the quality and style they put forth.

The opening was so much fun, and was a great opportunity to see some of our favorite local vendors as well. They had DJ George Nice (http://www.gnicemusic.com/) playing a fantastic mix of songs to keep the flow of the party going, while you could mingle, nibble, drink, and get lost looking at all the little detail the studio has to offer. Sue Bain from Signature Floral (http://www.signature-florals.com/index.html) did up the most fantastic little floral arrangements of tightly wound carnation balls, with greenery, which added great drama to the high top cocktail tables of black and white striped linen, and modern sculptures.

They had a gourmet cheese display, fantastic wine, little treats hidden everywhere (such as canisters of ring pops, marshmallows, Ghirardelli chocolates, and wax lips!), and so much more! They had cocktail waitresses butler passing the most AMAZING chocolate truffles on picture frame trays (cute idea!!), gourmet popcorn, and Iced Lattes with Cocoa Powder Rims, garnished with Cotton Candy. As if all of this wasn't enough, they even had an eyelash station for the women at the party to get false eyelashes put on and feel just a little more glamorous that night.

Congratulations to Ashley and Sam Brockington on such a successful Studio Opening, an amazing design and space, and hopefully a large pay off coming soon! Please check out their website, blog, and if you can, make a trip to the studio; you won't regret it!
