Wedding and portrait photographer based in Pittsburgh, PA, available for travel world-wide. Offering digital & film imagery. Specializing in documentary-style photographs to be cherished forevermore.

Welcome to my corner of the web where I share a glimpse into beautiful stories of beautiful people captured forever in photographs. I'm Ashley Casile (Krause), currently living in Pittsburgh, PA, blessed with the coolest job of all time: meeting people like you and preserving memories.

Photos mean everything to me as a deeply sentimental person. That's why I do what I do, the way that I do it.

I take a documentary-approach to photography. I balance observance and guidance in my work. I don't see it as my place to fabricate your experience, rather to be immersed in it so that your gallery represents who you are and what it felt like to be in that moment.

To see what I mean, I welcome you to explore this site, my socials, and to reach out directly to talk more about my approach.

"Ashley is simply amazing at what she does. Truly the person you want photographing all of life's most memorable moments. She captured us as we were and made us feel like the only people in the universe that day. Her attention to detail and genuine demeanor shined through on our wedding day and during our engagement photos. The most perfect weather turned to rain all day on a dime - she kept me smiling and positive and the photos are AMAZING. She provided us a time capsule we cannot wait to print, decorate our home with her art to remind us of the most perfect day, and pass down for generations to come. I could not recommend her more. We look forward to having her capture more of our life moments!"

"As a wedding planner, I can’t say enough great things about Ashley! She was so great to work with throughout the entire planning process for my couple - she provided recommendations for their timeline, was always quick to respond to questions, and was very reliable on the wedding day. I barely had to check in with Ashley as she was just on it all day! And of course her photos were beautiful, and she provided images rather quickly which was so appreciated by the couple! She even made sure that I was given access to photos for use in my business as well. Ashley went above and beyond and her professionalism contributed to a flawless wedding day! You won’t be sorry if you hire her for your event!"

"I cannot recommend Ashley enough!!! My partner and I had never gotten professional photos taken before and we were both pretty nervous. I booked with Ashley when I saw her gorgeous photos on instagram. Literally breathtaking! She did both our engagement and wedding photos. She did such thorough and thoughtful work every step of the way. Besides the photos being magical and more than I could have wished for, Ashley and her partner are kind, genuine, dedicated, professional, easy-going, and so thoughtful. It truly felt like having a friend at the wedding and our special day would not have been the same without her."
