Amazing and breathtaking photos!!

I cannot say enough positive words about Ashley Blake. She was so wonderful to work with! Her positive attitude and energy made it a fun experience. Our pictures turned out beautiful and amazing. Ashley caught every detail and moment with our little one (1.5 years old). Please please go to Ashley Blake for a wonderful experience and gorgeous photos.

Amazing and talented!

There are not enough words to describe how amazing and talented Ashley is! I have never hired a professional photographer for anything before and I was sooo nervous to reach out to anyone but when I heard back from Ashley, she put all my anxiety at ease. She told me about her work, asked me what my wedding was going to be like and what I envisioned. I had no idea what I wanted and I had no idea how to even be photographed. I am a fairly self-conscious person, I don’t have great self-esteem and I don’t like myself in photos. Ashley showed up on time, was sooooooo sweet, accommodating and professional. She made me feel beautiful, which is hard for anyone to do. Still, I thought I wouldn’t look great, I started picking myself apart, that is, until I saw the final photos. I looked amazing. It’s not something I can ever really say naturally, but I looked beautiful. The way she captured the lighting, the background, the posing. She was incredible and on the most stressful day of my life, she made it a breeze. Ashley is the best there is, and I plan on using her for all my future photography needs. To capture your special moment, you cannot get better than Ashley, I absolutely love her!!!

Superb Photographer!

Ashley was an absolute joy to work with!!

Honestly, my husband HATES taking pictures. When I told him that part of the deal of getting married was to have pictures taken, he had a physical reaction. Ha! Ashley put everyone at ease, EVEN HIM!!!!

Ashely didn't let record breaking heat (117 horribly hot degrees) ruin her mood or her enthuisasim for our big day. In fact, she helped keep up our spirits when the heat was getting the best of all of us.

To be frank, Ashley felt from the start like a family friend. She never felt like just a vendor that I hired for the day and she never made us feel like just a client. I've been to many wedding where the photographer was obtrusive and in the way of each special moment. Ashley captured each special piece in a way that didn't distract from the moment.

Her enthusiasm for our family, decorations and our love story just melted my heart. AND I have NO idea how every picture wasn't of red faced hot people! Her pictures show a family coming together with pure joy.

I'm truly sad that we don't live closer, so Ashley can be a part of documenting other special moments in our lives. But I can be extremly thankful that we found her to capture our wedding!

Beautiful Photos - Refreshingly Professional

Ashley did our engagement and wedding photographs - both were amazing! She did an incredible job capturing the joy of each day - we've loved the photos!

It was also refreshing to work with someone who was on top of all of the details (schedules, logistics, venue, etc.). This was particularly key as our engagement was a surprise for my now wife and Ashley had to hide to capture the moment.

She also processed the shots extremely quickly and had everything back to us to share with family only a few days after each event.

If you want a photographer that's going to make you genuinely laugh in your photos, capture every image you want, and do it 5x faster than you could imagine - Ashley is your girl. Working with her was so much fun and she really brought the BEST energy with her. When I was getting ready in the bridal suite, I was a total ball of nerves and honestly couldn't calm down enough to have a normal conversation. Cue Ashley walking in and changing the vibe from the most anxious afternoon of my life, to the genuinely happiest day of my life. She is all smiles, high energy, and she really made me feel so prepared, gorgeous, and just ready to rock and roll. She also had my back. I told her I was self-conscious about something, and she made that part of me look great throughout the night. Just a sweet touch I appreciated. <3 Her pictures are AMAZING and I couldn't be happier with them. During the planning process, she was super responsive and detail-oriented down to the minute of where she needed to be to get things done. She works hard and she does not mess around when it's time to round up everyone for pictures and keep things moving along smoothly.

How do you rate A. Blake Photography, simply the best!

I had already met Ashely and I knew that she was wonderful but my husband met her and he knew what I was talking about. She has an eye for lighting, for natural beauty. She has an energy about her that is contagious.

Ashely did our engagement pictures and right when we saw the preview for our engagement pictures we couldn't wait for the wedding pictures. The whole time she was very responsive and so sweet.

Our wedding day was captured beautifully, we had so many comments from so many people how wonderful she was. I can't stop looking at our pictures. They are amazing. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our pictures. She took over a thousand and I no joke love EVERY single one of them. She's that good! Worth every penny. You will NOT be disappointed. I've told her she's stuck with us for life. She will always be taking our pictures, she is so wonderful! She has a pure heart of gold and talent that is out of this world!

Where do I event begin to describe how amazing my experience with Ashely was. From the moment my husband and I sat down with her we knew we had to have her photograph this amazing day for us. She is so incredible warm and upbeat with a firm undertone to make sure every photo you could ever want is taken. Her professionalism mixed with love for what she does shows in every one of our pictures. We could have never asked for anything better. We love Ashley and everyone should use her services for any wedding or special event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
