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

julia + andrew {married!}

Andrew and Julia’s big day was the start of our 2010 weddings! They decided to have a first look prior to the ceremony *we’re BIG fans of this!* which allowed us to capture tons of great photos before the sun went down. They had their ceremony and reception at the beautiful Ironhorse Country Club in...

I had the pleasure of working with Irene a few months ago while shooting a boudoir marathon. I love this girl… She had me cracking up the entire shoot! Needless to say, I was thrilled when it finally came time to shoot their engagement session. Irene and Fern chose to shoot the 1 week that...

annabel + joseph {married!}

I’m FINALLY getting caught up on all of my post-sessions/wedding work! In an effort to stay caught up I’m only blogging about 1/2 the amount of photos I typically would for a wedding. Bare with me…   This one in particular is long overdue. Annabel and Joseph experienced some pre-wedding drama due to their venue...

I’ve had some incredibly fun, quirky (in a good way) and creative engagement sessions lately! I love it! Rose and Eli’s session was no exception! We started the shoot in the Las Olas area of Ft. Lauderdale then headed to the Riverfront area to capture some fun train track and parking garage roof-top shots. By...

daryl + john {engaged!}

I absolutely love when I get to shoot a session with a concept or theme. Daryl and John have the greatest idea ever for their wedding invitation design! I don’t want to spoil the surprise but I feel that I need to preface this shoot by saying that Daryl and John are book lovers and...

taylor + jeff {engaged!}

This shoot was so much fun! Taylor emailed me a week or so prior to our shoot with inspiration ideas and location thoughts. She wanted to shoot somewhere desolate. Simple. I LOVE that!! After bouncing ideas around we finally agreed that the everglades was the perfect spot for something like this. Why not, right? Despite...

elly + carlos {engaged!}

Elly and Carlos had a great idea to start their engagement session by capturing “a day in the life” of them. I’ll be honest, I was a little nervous to attempt pulling off the vision they had but I think it turned out great! The light in their apartment was perfect! After shooting in their...

charlie + brian {engaged!}

I stalked Charlie on Weddingbee (shhh!) many months ago in hopes of booking a wedding near my folks house. I thought it’d be fun to shoot in a new location and besides that we’d have a built-in babysitter!  :) Although I wasn’t expecting to hear back from her, she contacted me and booked us to...

Wedding Photography Giveaway… {it’s our turn to give back!!!}

A few months ago we were asked to take part in a wedding donation. Jessica Ayers with Classic Affairs contacted us about a client (“client” for privacy) who had overcome great odds with a rare terminal cancer. We were honored and without hesitation  jumped at the opportunity to be included in such a heartfelt, memorable event....
