Love our photos and loved working with Ashley!

We are so happy we chose Ashley as our wedding photographer!! We had our share of obstacles leading up to our wedding, from a chaotic and disorganized venue to my husband breaking his ankle two weeks before the wedding. Ashley was always professional, easy to work with, kind and compassionate, and so flexible and supportive! When we decided just to have our small ceremony and postpone the party until the broken ankle was healed, she offered us options and had so many creative ideas for posing us - you can’t even see the surgical boot in many of our photos! She adapted so smoothly to our unique circumstances. We absolutely love our photos and were thrilled to work with Ashley again for our new reception date 4 months later! She is a talented photographer and a lovely, easygoing human.

amazing photographer for a great value

Ash was very communicative, detailed, and professional leading up to the wedding. Throughout our wedding, she was there capturing key moments while blending in. Our sneak peek photos were beyond our wildest dreams and we cannot wait to see the rest!!!!

10/10 experience - photographer for life

Selecting Ash as our photographer was the best decision I ever made (besides saying yes to marrying my now husband). She is beyond delightful to work with, creative, and thorough. She brought a sense of calm to the entire experience & day of. I will use her services for all future needs & be forever thankful for the gorgeous moments she captured.

BLESSED to have Ashley

I truly don't have words to explain how incredible Ashley is. Besides her undeniable talent as a photographer (which my friends from all over the country are BEGGING me to see if she'll travel) I was a completely overwhelmed DIY bride without a wedding planner (and I can't express this enough) Ashley was truly the kindest, understanding, and most talented photographer. My fiance wasn't sold on the idea of having a photographer...and then he met Ashley. We were married last week (5/24/24) and he hasn't stopped talking about how amazing she was...and neither have my family and friends.

PLEASE if you're getting married in the Philly area Ashley is by far the most incredible photographer in the area, and if you're lucky enough to have her you'll never regret it. Also, the photos attached are JUST my sneak peak photos, so I can't imagine how incredible the rest will be.

Amazing Personal Touch for our Queer Wedding

Ash made my husband and I feel so well taken care of on the day of our wedding. We did not have a traditional wedding at all, and she listened to our ideas and requests and made us feel so comfortable and actually have fun posing for photos as a couple and with our guests and family. We had 3 locations for our wedding - the ceremony in a garden, the reception in an intimate restaurant, and the after party in a beer garden. Ash came with us to each space and like a fly on the wall captured so many excellent candid moments. I feel like she really understood the vibe and tone of our celebration and captured it perfectly - we love the photos (which she got to us so quickly and even mailed us prints)!

We definitely recommend Ash to any couple, and can say for other queer couples you will be well cared for and your photos will be as unique and special as your union :)

Thanks Ash!

10/10 would recommend!

Ashley did such a good job with both our engagement and wedding photos. She captured so many beautiful moments in a way that felt authentic to our experience. Looking at our photos is like reliving the day. We got married outside in nature, and she did an amazing job of capturing the beauty of the park. She also got my young nephews to look at the camera and smile! Ashley's presence helped me to feel relaxed and confident. She encouraged us to be in the moment but also gave direction on how to pose when I was looking for it. She was organized and reliable throughout the planning stages and on the day of. She put together the most comprehensive schedule for the day which really helped to set me at ease in the weeks leading up. I can not recommend her enough.

Amazing wedding photographer in Philly!!

Ashley is hands down the best photographer I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She is so organized, so friendly, so professional, and just such a talented artist. She made me and my husband feel so comfortable in front of the camera on our wedding day, giving thoughtful suggestions when needed for poses, what to do with our hands, the angles of our faces, etc. And the photos speak for themselves: every picture is STUNNING, a frame-worthy work of art. I am so impressed by everything she was able to capture during our wedding, from gorgeous portraits, to intimate and beautiful candids, to stunning still life shots of wedding items that she artfully and carefully arranged. My friends and family loved her and all commented on how personable and professional she was. HIGHLY recommend Ashley for all your photography needs!

Accommodation and Grace

My wife and I are so pleased to have found and chosen Ashley Smith to be our wedding photographer! From start to finish, the whole process was a pleasure. We were put at ease from the start during the planning phase and continually felt we were getting professional, reliable, and accommodating service. The day of couldn't have gone better...Ashley was graceful and showed tactfulness when dealing with guests of honor and the vendor. Her creativity resulted in an amazing final product that we will cherish forever. Thank you Ashley!

Best choice I made for my wedding

Ashley is not only an excellent photographer, but she was my BFF throughout the entire wedding planning process. She made an incredibly detailed timeline and worked with us and the venue to ensure that every photo we wanted had the opportunity to be taken. She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot that we decided to add her on for rehearsal dinner coverage as well and I can't imagine anyone else capturing our "vibe" as well as Ashley did. She captured so many genuine moments while remaining discreet, but somehow was next to me with safety pins when my dress broke. She was so patient and helpful during the album-making process and allowed me to customize everything. Cannot recommend enough!!!

Definitely Recommend

We took engagement photos with Ashley. Being my first photo shoot, I wasn't sure what to expect and felt pretty nervous going into it. Ashley was kind, made us laugh and also made us feel at ease! She took wonderful photos and the experience was great. She was easy to work with and I appreciated that she was considerate of our wants/opinions for the photos as well. For example, she guided us throughout the shoot but then asked if there was anywhere/anything else we wanted to shoot. We enjoyed our experience and definitely recommend Ashley!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
