We enjoyed working with Ashley, and the experience was incredible. From first meeting her for engagement photos to the wedding, she made us feel like we had known her for years. That feeling allowed us to relax better and let our guard down that translated into a truly incredible product. The photos were most important to us, and they did not disappoint. I could not be any happier with the finished product we have, I love the look, and I love the moments she captured. Tender moments that may have lasted only a second, we have memorized in film. If you place value in the moments we live, I could recommend Ashley anymore than I do. I can only hope we can capture other life moments together.

Ashley and her team are simply the best! My family and I have used Ashley twice now. First time was for when my parents moved out of our childhood home, we wanted to have professional pictures to capture the moment. Our most recent time was for my NYE wedding. Both times Ashley was professional, calm, and makes you feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera! Our photographs that Ashley has taken for us were better that what we envisioned! (both times!) The images she took for us truly did blow us away and we are so happy Ashley did such an excellent job in capturing two very special moments to my family. We will definitely use Ashley again in the future, and can't recommend her enough! Thank you Ashley!

I have dreamt of having Ashley as our wedding photographer for a long time. Her reputation precedes her. Ashley is organized, smart, talented and overall just a joy to be around. I did not have to worry about anything up to or on our wedding day because I knew that her skills as a photographer would show in the photos. We just enjoyed our day. Even when our original plans to take photos at the Wrigley Building couldn’t happen, she worked on the fly and got us to a new location that was even more beautiful than we could have imagined. If you’re looking for a photographer, just book Ashley/Artistrie co. And save yourself the time.

Ashley is a true artist. We had the pleasure of working with Ashley through a wide variety of occasions. We started with our breathtaking engagement photos in San Diego, to our jovial Tea Ceremony, and finally our fairytale wedding in Belgium. I don’t know how she did it, but she managed to capture so many of the beautiful little details and special moments for all of our celebrations.
From the very beginning, Ashley was delightful and professional. She responded quickly and was very open to our concerns and needs. We live abroad, and she made it so easy to schedule our meetings despite our giant time differences. She was also familiar with the two very different ceremonies we were planning. Ashley was great with remaining in communication with us with all the changes and uncertainties of the pandemic. She was far more organized than me!
Our ceremony days were a breeze. She made our days so much easier with her creativity, cheerful disposition, and calm expertise.
The sneak peaks came so quickly, we were delighted with the efficiency and beauty of our pictures. Our loved ones are still overjoyed with how amazing the pictures came out. We are very much looking forward to working with Ashley again to consult us with our printed frames in our new home!

2022 brides - hire Ashley!! Ashley is a true professional and she is wonderful to work with. She is very responsive and her proactive communication and expertise was greatly appreciated. Ashley shared sample timelines with me and it made me feel like I had a photographer and coordinator all in one. In a crazy year like 2021, this went a long way! Many of my vendors were difficult to keep in contact with but Ashely was always one step ahead of me. She even helped me obtain a photography permit for a specific location I had in mind for our portraits, which I saw as really going above and beyond. Personally I am not a big fan of being in front a camera all day, for this reason Ashley was a perfect fit - she was like a fly on the wall getting all of the perfect shots.

Our wedding day was 90 degrees and sunny, and Ashley and her second shooter Emmalee were so incredibly patient with our group and kept the portraits moving quickly. They even had a frozen water bottle for me which truly brought my back to life!

Ashley did a beautiful job editing our album with bright but natural colors and she turned around our "sneak peeks" and album very quickly! I can't stop gawking at all of our photos and I will definitely cherish them for the years to come.

If this is the only line you read of this review, then the most important thing to know is this: if you choose to work with Ashley, you will always be so thrilled that you made the best decision! It's hard not to instantly fall in love with her photos - her talent is so clear. But when I spoke to her on the phone for our first interview, I immediately felt like I was talking to one of my friends. It was right then that I knew she'd be our photographer and I didn't bother to interview anyone else. We ended up signing with her the same day we met her.
Throughout the entire planning process, working with Ashley was always so easy. When the time came to do our engagement photos, I was a bit nervous cause I have often hated professional photos of myself. Ashley made us feel so comfortable and we ended up having a blast with her! Then we got the photos and were so overwhelmed - the pictures were amazing!! For the first time in my life, I actually loved photos of myself. That was all thanks to Ashley.
On our wedding day, I couldn't wait until Ashley got there and started snapping photos! Her calm demeanor made Sam and I feel so relaxed all throughout the day. When the time came for her to leave, we were so sad and didn't want her to go. We just wanted her to stay and party with us - that's how much we love her!
When we got our photos back, we were beside ourselves. Ashley had captured the entire day more perfectly than we could have ever imagined or hoped for! Every picture transported us back to that incredible day and countless people have told us how you could really feel the emotion and love in all of them. Ashley, Sam and I will forever be grateful for you and couldn't be happier that you are part of our story. THANK YOU!!!

Hiring Artistrie to photograph our Sonoma, CA wedding was the best decision we made! I tried researching a few of the local photographers, but quickly gave up and hired Ashley knowing that we would be in good hands. We met with Ashley and Emmalee a month before the wedding to go over details, after which Ashley created a detailed wedding day itinerary for us based off of her experience and our wishes. This helped tremendously on the big day as we hit a couple of minor setbacks, but Ashley was great and kept us on track. We made up for the lost time and were still able to fit in all of our desired photos and then some! Ashley is great at posting "sneak peeks" and previews on social media, and was prompt in getting us the final product after the wedding. We are so happy with the end result. The two of them captured our wedding day perfectly, and we are lucky to have so many great photos to look at and remember our wedding by. Thank you!

I can't say enough good things about working with Ashley. I reached out to a friend who had previously worked with her for her wedding (whose pictures I loved!) and asked about the experience; Erin told me it was the best wedding decision she made. I didn't need to look anything further and working with Ashley didn't disappoint. She guided us through the day of timeline, answered every reception lighting question I had, and walked up at least 7 flights of stairs when our hotel elevator was out of service on the day of the wedding... with heavy camera equipment in tow. Her biggest impact might have been that she convinced me a first look was the way to go- we had a tight timeline between our ceremony and the sunset in late November. The pictures she captured during the first look are some of my favorite, so I cannot thank her enough for that guidance. Additionally Ashley composed an album for my parents and for us- I know we'll be looking at it for years! You will be THRILLED with your pictures and have immediate peace of mind if you decide to work with Ashley.

I had been admiring the work of Artistrie Co for years after seeing engagement and wedding photos done for my sister-in-law's friends, making this one of the easiest decisions in all of my wedding planning. We had heard wonderful things and the beautiful photos truly speak for themselves. From our first meeting with Ashley, she was extremely responsive, helpful and easy to work with for both our engagement photos and on the wedding day. Ashley was so accommodating after having our engagement photos delayed for weather multiple times (I really wanted outdoor photos). Leading up to the wedding, we had a detailed conversation on the schedule for the day and all of the must-have shots. The week of the wedding called for storms which rattled my nerves- I had been admiring her beautiful photos for years and did not want my turned to be ruined because of some rain! Ashley provided some beautiful examples of previous rainy day weddings and we set up a rain plan which calmed my anxiety- the weather was a little rainy but we ended up with a rainbow that she captured beautifully! I cannot emphasize how highly I recommend Artistrie Co to other brides. To anyone hesitant about the cost- it is absolutely worth it. The photos are the only things that truly last. I think I looked at every photo every day for the first month we received them. It's been 8 months and I still look at them regularly and am still in awe of how beautiful they are! You will absolutely not regret trusting Ashley to capture one of the happiest days of your life!

Making decisions about how to spend your wedding budget is hard. Deciding to hire an amazing photographer is easy. After all, the flowers will die, the decorations will end up at Goodwill, the programs and invitations will get thrown away, but the pictures will last for generations. And we knew we wanted our pictures to be perfect and we wanted them to capture us and our day so that those who weren't present could feel the energy and the love of that day for years to come.

After years of oogling Ashley's incredible wedding photography, choosing her for our engagement and wedding photography was a no-brainer. Her style is easy, artsy, and simply beautiful. She has such a unique way of making you feel yourselves in front of the camera and of capturing each couple's unique personality and style.

What we particularly loved about Ashley was her professionalism and clear communication from the first time we spoke on the phone to discuss our photography needs, to her helpfulness in ordering prints (even offering to walk our less technologically-inclined family members through the ordering process!) She was perfectly adaptable throughout our long wedding day, changing from a calm, sweet demeanor with us during our first look to fun and silly with our wedding party, to organized and direct with our family (much-needed) during our large family photos. She captured all of the special shots we wanted of our wedding details exactly as we had discussed. And each picture is just gorgeous! Her second shooter, Aimee, captured some breathakingly beautiful angles and candid moments on our big day as well.

In reflecting on our wedding, we hands-down know that choosing Ashley to be our photographer was the best decision we made (other than deciding to marry each other, of course!) Thanks, Ashley! We love you!!
