You know the concept of hanging something you're proud of on the fridge? Like when you'd get an award or create a work of art in school as a kid? This is my virtual / adult version of that, with my greatest accomplishment being the feeling clients take away from working with me and their love for their wedding photos. It's all I could ever hope for. I've saved every thank-you note I've received the day of a wedding or in the mail afterward.
Creating this as a place to store love notes as a testimonial of my work over the years.
"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!"

“When we had to reschedule our wedding because of the coronavirus, Ashley did not hesitate to come through for us! We decided to have a teeny tiny ceremony right away, and reschedule our reception as a one-year anniversary celebration. At such a crazy and strange time, it was a relief to know our photographer would remain supportive and truly commit to helping make our wedding day special, whether we had 160 guests or 20.
The photos from our wedding day are gorgeous. Some are actually breathtaking! Ashley captured all of the feelings, the excitement, the closeness, and the love we all felt that day. And we’ve booked her for our part-two when we’ll have our reception next year! She’s so naturally talented, we’d book her again and again.”

"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!"

"Ashley is an amazing photographer who has the perfect balance of delivering traditional and set bridal portraits but also candid, documentary style photos with artful angles. Our family and friends who have seen our engagement and wedding sneak peak photos have nothing but compliments. Ashley makes you feel like the most beautiful person in the room and is the perfect hype girl. Everyone who interacted with Ashley during our wedding loved her. She strives and delivers on providing high quality photos that allow you to reminisce and relive the day. We are so happy that we found Ashley and that she photographed our wedding!"

"There is truly no one I would rather have photograph my life's biggest moments. I have been lucky to have had Ashley photograph my graduation photos (all the way back in 2018), my engagement shoot, and my wedding. Our engagement photos were so beautiful that I had family members offer to pay for her travel fees (which are insanely reasonable) just to ensure we had her capture our wedding. She is truly an artist, making sure to capture every detail and loved one of your special day. I have cried every time I have looked at the photos from our wedding. I would choose her a million times over."

"Short version— If Ashley is on your list, keep here there and put her at the very top! Seriously she’s an artist and will care for you and your memories so well. Hire her. Long version— You’re probably drawn to Ashley because you care about these things: still, sweet moments being captured on a wedding day. Family, friends and meaningful relationships being frozen in time. Beautiful photographs, both posed and candid. Aaaaand having an artist be by your side guiding you though the whole experience. I’ve hired Ashley to assist me for my own weddings and every single one that she’s been at, there’s been a noticeable difference. From a professional standpoint, and from a personal standpoint — she’s absolutely amazing."

"5 stars doesn't even begin to describe how much of a pleasure it is to work with Ashley!! Her eye for capturing the beauty of every moment is so inspiring. I knew she was the best choice to photograph our wedding in 2022 and when I got the itch to update our family photos this Fall I knew exactly who to hire! Her photos never disappoint and she is the best hype girl to help the real you shine through the photos. Opening a gallery from Ashley is like Christmas Morning any day of the year 😍 I can't wait to work with her again and recommend you do too!"

"I don't even know where to start, I'm not sure as to which is the best part of working with her. First off, the amount of time and energy she puts in before you meet up for your photos is incredible, she has a vision, ideas, thinks about the lighting and time of day before even meeting up. Her personality and energy she brings is radiant and contagious, there is truly no way to have any awkward or forced photos when working with such a nice person. She is the sweetest, most genuine person and cares about your experience and your results. Our final photos had both of our moms crying and we cannot stop looking at them! On top of having an incredible engagement session with her, she managed to also shoot a wedding that weekend and get us back our previews and entire album within just a week or 2!! She is the most beautiful person inside and out, a blessing to get to spend time with and her work is breathtaking! I cannot recommend enough to reach out to Ashley to work with her and I have already sent many friends her way!! I cannot wait until the next milestone to use her again!!"

"I recently did a photoshoot with Ashley to document this chapter of my life—my quarter life—and it was such a beautiful experience. I’ve always admired how our grandparents had timeless portraits, and I wanted to create something like that for myself, beyond just selfies and filters. Ashley made the whole process feel effortless and so much fun. She has an incredible eye, a calming presence, and a true gift for capturing not just how you look, but how you feel. I will absolutely book her again in a heartbeat. Her talent speaks for itself, and I’m so grateful for the memories she helped me create."
