Callie Meredith is a new army spouse with a passion for helping others. Becoming a new spouse was scary and overwhelming, and she quickly realized that of all the resources out there for spouses, there wasn't much out there for spouses just starting out. So she decided to create her own. The Call to Marriage podcast is designed to be an easily accessible resource where spouses can find both positive and informative information on this roller coaster of a life. Outside of the podcast, Callie is an operations analyst with a love for data. In her free time, she and her husband like to take their two goldendoodles (Goose and Icy - big Top Gun fans) on adventures, host game nights, and make s'mores.

Brittny Drye, the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Love Inc., shares with us why it was important for her to create a truly inclusive publication, and how her Love Lists help same sex couples find equality-minded vendors.
“...even though we do have marriage equality, there's still a lot of work that needs to be done in the wedding space. Specifically, a lot of wedding pros still discriminate unfortunately. A lot of wedding pros still need education on marketing to LGBTQ+ couples. So, there's definitely still a need for that inclusive angle and that inclusive lens on the wedding content. So I'm still fighting the good fight.” - Brittny Drye

Get to know Angela…
Hello my name is Angela and I’m the founder behind Aster + Olive Photography. Jen, my lead associate photographer and I have been proudly shooting weddings and portraits for almost 10 years. I’m blown away by how amazing this journey has been for us. It all started with taking a photography class in high school. Developing film and seeing my images come to life was complete magic. Photography was definitely my first love. At the same time I was also drawn to the world of fashion. It was a tough decision to make but ultimately I ended up pursuing a degree in fashion design and graduated with a BFA from FIT in NYC. After many years of career changes and life events, I switched gears, returned to my first love and started up A+O. The path that lead me here has helped me tremendously. I’m so grateful for it all.
I met Jen shortly after I started shooting weddings. I knew the moment we met we had the same vision. Our esthetics and approach to photography are seamless. We both believe the connections and friendships we make with our clients is just as important as the photographs themselves. We’re both storytellers. We know the importance and value the photos have. It bends time and lives on for generations. It’s an honor we hold dearly to our hearts.
