Confidence, Tailored to You
A wedding day is filled with movement—embraces, toasts, tears, stolen moments. The last thing you should worry about is whether your collar is right or if your jacket feels tight. When you’re wearing something made precisely for you, the posture changes. The way you walk changes. You’re not adjusting yourself to the suit—the suit has already adjusted to you. This isn’t about fashion. It’s about feeling like the most confident, composed version of yourself on the most meaningful day of your life.
The Art of Custom: Why a Tailored Suit from Ascottage Could Be The Unsung Hero of Your Wedding Weekend
There’s something quietly powerful about a man who wears a suit that fits him—not just in size, but in spirit. It doesn't shout. It doesn't chase trends. It speaks in structure, in silhouette, in presence. Photographing Jeffrey Shin in his custom suit from Ascottage reminded me why I always encourage my grooms to invest in quality, custom-tailored pieces—not just for how they look, but for what they mean.
Aesthetic That Lasts
My photography style leans toward timeless elegance—quiet luxury, thoughtful details, and effortless presence. A custom suit aligns beautifully with that vision. It photographs differently. The drape, the clean lines, the way the fabric responds to natural light—it all matters. You’ll see it in the portraits. You’ll feel it when you look back 10 years from now and still see yourself, not a trend.
Designed With Intention
Working with artisans like Ascottage feels like stepping into a forgotten world—where craftsmanship is sacred, and nothing is done by accident. From fabric selection to fitting, every step is personal. For grooms, it's often the first tailored piece they’ll own—and I see how transformative that experience can be. More than attire, it becomes part of the memory.
