Truly Fantastic - A Whole Different Level
Ashley went above and beyond simply recording moments for us at our wedding as a photographer. For lack of a better description, Ashley served as our director of photography, advising us where to stand, how to pose, what angles would look the best, and what backdrops would look the best. I'm not sure I can praise Ashely enough! Her eye for the best lighting and instincts for capturing the perfect moment (in the perfect framing) are beyond my ability to express. The result was pictures that are somehow more beautiful than we remember.
Ashley was delightful, professional, and truly brought artistic flair to her role as our wedding photographer. I would recommend Ashley for any event, and sincerely hope to have an opportunity to use her services again in the future. -

Amazing photos
We had the great pleasure of working with Ashley for our small wedding at our home in Palm Springs. Our wedding planner highly recommended her and we were so amazed at the final products. Ashley is both kind and thoughtful while having an amazing talent. Her photos both staged and non staged are simply beautiful! Our entire family and wedding party has been so pleased with the photos. Thank you so much Ashley for the perfect memorie!! -

I'm so happy we went with Ashley! I don't take many pictures of myself because I never like the way I look. When we got the pictures back from Ashley - OMG! They were STUNNING! Friends said we looked like models from a magazine - really! She's also so sweet and a joy to work with. Her price is also very reasonable (I checked a lot of others before hiring her). If you need a photographer - hire Ashley! Also worth mentioning, we were in a bit of a pickle before we hired her. We live on the east coast, and were visiting Palm Springs for vacation. Our Wedding photographers couldn't make it. We wanted to have our pictures taken while we were away and only had maybe 2 weeks to figure something out. I reached out to Ashley and got a response almost immediately and she was very accommodating for our short time frame! -

Kristin B. Sent on 07/25/2023Ashley captured our special day even better than we ever imagined; she has a gift
Ashley gave us beautiful memories for our wedding that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I don’t think there’s a price to put on that. If you’re getting married, you want Ashley behind the lens, she will capture not only the look, but the feel of the day too.
From the first call with her she was professional and even joked that she has a type A personality. She took time to get to know us and our story. She asked us about what kinds of colors we were drawn to most. We felt in such good hands and Ashley was the obvious choice and we couldn’t be happier. Her communication over the next eight months between our engagement photos and the wedding planning, the day of the wedding, to getting the photos was responsive, punctual, and thorough. There are so many things to be worried about putting together a wedding, Ashley was never one. And the photos speak for themselves. They are marvelous.
Her personality is magnetic and fun. She really knows how to bring the real you out onto film, even if you feel a little camera shy, or you suddenly forget where to put your hands when you’re posing. We spent a whole day with her on our engagement shoot and it felt like hanging out with a friend. She made us laugh and made us feel relaxed, and this made us feel comfortable for our wedding day. She and her second photographer Lewis were kind and empathetic to the huge pressures of the day, but they were also incredibly detail oriented. They made it through our family photos with time to spare.
Ashley has an incredible gift as a photographer, she is a true artist, and we are so happy that she was available for our wedding. -

Braxton K. Sent on 03/27/2023INCREDIBLE wedding day photos
Ashley was an absolute joy to work with! From our first consultation call to the wedding day, she was just so wonderful and was genuinely excited about her work. She had GREAT communication throughout and when we met her in person, we were instantly at ease. It was like we had been friends for years! My husband and I both had specific insecurities in front of the camera, and Ashley helped us feel incredibly comfortable. I also happened to get makeup on my collar and, even though it wasn't her job, she helped fix it without even asking her. The photos from our wedding day turned out even better than we could have imagined. I can't stop looking at them, they're so beautiful! We are so glad to have found Ashley and would recommend her for any event. -

Ashley is an absolute gem! She is not just a photographer, but a true wedding professional and provides so much more value beyond the camera. We hired her for the wedding and engagement shoot and it really felt like she was with us the entire way through the wedding planning journey. She was professional and organized in her planning, and during the photos she had a really calm aura about her that helped us relax a lot in front of the camera. We also got all of our photos on schedule after the wedding and are so excited about how they came out, especially the scenic shots! We had rain on our wedding day and the skies were overcast during photos and the pictures still came out wonderful. Thank you for everything, Ashley! -

Deanna C. Sent on 02/21/2023Wow! Simply, Wow!
Ashley is a gem and would love to have her capture all of our big life moments. She is funny, professional, timely and her photographs are a work of art. When I share images with family and friends, they immediately want to know who we hired.
When thinking of a typical wedding photographer, I envision someone making their presence known and panicking to capture the right moments or making you reenact something to get the right shot. Not Ashley, she is as cool as a cucumber, quiet as a mouse and quick as a fox.
Thank you Ashley! -

Ashley is the BEST in the business! We cannot thank her enough for how seamless she made our whole day! We loved working with her - not just for her amazing photography talents, but for everything she did for us beyond the camera. She kept us on time (early, even), brought contagious energy throughout the day, and paid attention to even the smallest of details. Her work speaks for itself too! Her skill and wealth of knowledge kept us on track and allowed us to just enjoy the whole experience. Thank you! -

Give yourself the best wedding gift and hire Ashley right now. She was the first vendor we booked in 2019 for our original venue & date that was postponed due to Covid. She is the only vendor we retained for our actual wedding and there are a million reasons why. Ashley is outgoing, vibrant, fun, and a true boss. After our first engagement session with her we knew we had made the best decision. She gets the perfect shot EVERY SINGLE TIME. She is so creative and has so many fun ideas that I would never have thought of which makes having her eye on our big day so special. Ashley has become an incredible friend thanks to a 3 year wedding planning process and 2 engagement shoots...I even had her as a guest at my bachelorette party (where she captured so many incredible photos). On the day of the wedding she was so on top of the shot list that we wrapped up photos early, unheard of, and she showed me a few sneak peeks at dinner! All of our guests and the wedding party adored Ashley and her assistant photographer, Roddy, which made for even better photos with everyone completely at ease. I can't recommend Ashley enough and know that you will adore working with her as much as we did. We love you, Ashley! -

Kayla C. Sent on 11/25/2022Working with Ashley was the BEST DECISION!
This review is long overdue, but extremely necessary as we could not have been happier with our choice to select Ashley as our wedding photographer. Not only was Ashley responsive, kind, and professional from the very beginning of the process with her communication, but she was even more amazing in person! Our wedding was in July of 2022, and we are still receiving compliments on how wonderful our photos came out... and the best part is that Ashley is not only talented, but also so genuine, warm, and fun! She made us feel so comfortable while we were shooting, and she sincerely cared about our vision, our preferences, and our comfort level with everything. Ashley is the complete package... if you are looking for a smooth experience from start to finish including beautiful pictures to forever remember your special day, then you should absolutely connect with Ashley! -

Highly recommend!!!
Ashley was so fabulous from start to finish for our wedding. She knew what we wanted and executed perfectly. We could not be more thrilled with how our pictures turned out! I would recommend her 10 times out of 10. And as a bonus, she stayed and danced with us at the end of the night. We love her and had the best experience with her as our photographer! -

Kellen A. Sent on 01/12/2022We cannot recommend Ashley enough - she's phenomenal!
We hired Ashley to photograph our intimate wedding in the desert and we could not be happier. She's so incredibly talented and the most kind. From the moment we connected on the phone, to the weeks leading up to our wedding, Ashley went out of her way to connect with us to make sure everything was covered: schedule, timing of the sunset, shot lists, and so many other things we would have never thought of. At the end of the night, there wasn't a single photo we wished we had taken because we were confident that Ashley captured it all. Every day of detail you can imagine and our dream shots. One where she even got in the middle of the street to make it happen! I can't say all photographers would do this.
Ashley made us feel so comfortable and taking pictures so fun! An hour had passed during formal portraits and we honestly had no idea. My husband and I truly felt like this time was ours and we're so thankful Ashley made it that way.
We are in love with our pictures and have enjoyed reliving the most special day of our lives! -

Simply the best
I cannot say good enough things about Ashley and our experience with her. She truly is the best at what she does, but she also offers so much more. Not only are we obsessed with our photos, but we are so thankful to her for how she managed our wedding day. Unfortunately, our planner fell short, and Ashley stepped in and took control of the situation. She kept us on schedule, and she was able to capture all of the photos we wanted and then some. We are so glad we chose Ashley for our special day. She travels, as well, so even if you are not getting married in Vegas or Palm Springs you can hire her. It will be the best decision you make for our wedding. -

Professional, Fun, and Organized
Ashley is aaaamazing! It hasn't been easy being a COVID bride and she made it so simple for us right from the start when we told her about changing from an east coast wedding to a west coast wedding. She has great tips and a fun, energetic, professional energy. One of the best tips she gave was doing a first look. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly. Everyone was so happy they were able to get their family group shots they wanted and we enjoyed the rest of the night dancing. My dad told me Ashley was dancing and smiling the whole night, it's says a lot when someone really loves what they do and you can feel it! -

One of the best decisions we made.
One of the first things we did after we picked the location was decide on a photographer. Hiring Ashley was one of, if not the best, decisions we made. Planning a wedding can feel pretty overwhelming. Ashley put us at ease by being prepared and well organized - she asked all the right questions. We felt confident and taken care of right from the start.
On the day of the wedding, she was just as amazing as those early conversations led us to believe she would be. She went above and beyond. She got all the shots we wanted (excellent candids and posed family shots), kept us on track, and was friendly and delightful the whole way. She is so warm and collaborative, creatively solving problems you didn't anticipate would arise (Heels on grass? Pinning a boutonniere? No problem!).
At the end of the day, though, someone can be a delight to hang out with and super organized and still not deliver the goods. Not the case with Ashley. Her eye for color, light and composition shows in the excellent shots she delivers. Asking her to be part of our special day was so incredibly worth it. Without her, we wouldn't have been able to be as calm and confident during the event (so important) or have a set of gorgeous photographs to capture the memories of our wedding. -
