13:13 boutique wedding photography bio picture

We are Ashley and Phillip Colhouer and 13:13 is the company that we created in order to blend our creative and professional lives.

We’re a friendly, laid-back team with a style we like to call
“Boutique Wedding Photography” which is all about capturing fun and romantic moments in a fresh and exciting way. We believe the best moments are unscripted, this is what we try to anticipate and capture.

To dig a little deeper, my passion for photography originally led me to shoot in the fashion industry, while Phillip continued his studies of design. We shot our first wedding as a favor for a friend and the rest is history.

We absolutely love what we do and couldn’t be more grateful that we’ve been blessed to be able to make a living doing so.

On a more personal note…

Why 13:13 you ask? 1 Corinthians 13 was the Bible verse read at our wedding and has pretty much become the philosophy in which we strive to live our lives. We have been together for over 6 years and happily married for over 2. We live with our 5 adorable little Shih Tzu’s (Phoebe, Atari, Kabuki, Yentl, and Lotus) and just welcomed the arrival of our beautiful little girl Nylin Lilly Colhouer,
July 20th 2008...talk about a blessing!


Although based in South Florida, we’re happy to customize a travel package
for you!

~ Ashley and Phillip

keeping family tradition {father’s day}

** Warning ** This is a long one! As I mentioned in my previous post, my family plans an annual gathering at the Blue Water Beach Club on Anna Maria Island every year around Father’s Day. I think I enjoy this family get-together more than meeting for the holidays. Perhaps it’s the no-stress attitude of...

attack of the bed-head {he he!}

I always know when Nylin starts to wake from a nap. She growls… Is that weird? Sometimes it’s more of a grunt but usually it’s something like a whispery “raaaawr”. She’s too funny. As I walked upstairs to get her I actually laughed out loud when I saw her peeking over the side of her...

Jeanie was one of the first people to contact me down here in sunny S. Florida! We had only been here 2 weeks but I was already starting to stress about the plans for growing our business in this new (to us) market. Speaking with Jeanie was such a nice ice-breaker! Although their wedding date...

Cody turns 12!

Of all the things to do on his birthday, my sweet nephew Cody wanted to come see us in Ft. Lauderdale. What a cutie-patootie! We were hoping to make it to the beach but those darn afternoon storms got us again. Thankfully, there was a short break in the clouds just before sundown. Savannah and Cody...
