"BEST CHOICE WE MADE"

KARINA + MIKE

"We were planning a California wedding from Scotland. From the very beginning Ashley put us at ease and was extremely professional, organized, and personable.
On the day of our wedding, she jumped right in, making everyone feel comfortable.

It felt like Ashley was our old friend.
I really can't say enough amazing things about Ashley. She is the hardest working person and is so passionate about photography and people. If you are looking for an incredibly talented photographer and even better person, stop your search and snatch her up!"

"made us feel important"

carling + alanna

"From the moment we emailed Ashley, she was everything we could wish for and more. I seriously felt like I had one of my BFF's with me the whole day. 

In fact, the time we spent taking pictures with her was one of my favorite parts of the day! Her pictures completely capture the emotion and feeling of the day. Every detail, every emotion is there. 

Her work is beautiful, and she is extremely professional and prompt.

"i never felt
rushed"

bailey + adam

"Finding a photographer to hire was one of the most challenging things for me. It was the most important vendor I would hire. Even if my hair was amazing and my decorations were beautiful, it wouldn’t matter if the photographs didn’t capture that.

My entire wedding day I felt relaxed, I never felt rushed through pictures. Not only did she capture the most amazing images of my wedding day, but she is one of the most fun people to just hang out with. Because of Ashley, I get to relive my wedding everyday by looking at the pictures she took."

"ashley made us feel heard"

andrew + michael

"We love everything about Ashley. From the way she made us feel welcome and heard to how she guided us through the entire process. She definitely made our wedding day more fun and relaxed which is what we wanted. 

She even went to the bar to grab us drinks and took it upon herself to grab our polaroid cameras to take photos of everyone at the wedding. Those polaroids became part of our wedding album!"
