About the author
Ashley Swymeler Morris started her career as a travel writer at age 9, documenting a family camping trip to Colorado.
After that experience, Ashley chased every opportunity to experience the unique people, places and food that travel offers. Ashley's prior career in advertising took her to some of America's most storied cities, including New York. Ashley's personal travel adventures have taken her all over the Caribbean, Europe, Canada, Mexico, South America and Africa.
After 15 years in advertising, Ashley switched gears to a personal passion: travel planning. Her agency, Alpaca Your Bags Travel, plans amazing destination weddings, honeymoons and family vacations in the Caribbean, Mexico and Hawaii.
As a certified member of both the DWHSA and Gay Weddings Institute, Ashley is uniquely qualified to make your day as special and stress-free as possible. In addition to helping hundreds of couples each year, Ashley is also a destination bride!
A Missouri native, Ashley graduated from the University of Missouri School of Journalism in 2002. She currently splits her time between New York and the Kansas City area.
