The BEST Wedding Photographer. Period.

We simply could not have asked for a better photographer than Ashley. Not only is Ashley's photography amazingly stunning, she is also a kind soul who made us feel relaxed and comfortable from the moment we met her. She captured every single aspect of our day in grand fashion and not once did we ever feel awkward or forced. Ashley even served as a de facto, assistant wedding planner at times, helping coordinate group photos, the first look, and other smaller details in an organized, timely manner. Ashley and her team are incredibly professional, but also down-to-earth and tremendously easy and fun to work with. We HIGHLY recommend Ashley Cox to any couple looking for wedding photography!

Ashley was our dream wedding photographer

Ashley is insanely talented and SO wonderful to work with. We were drawn to the romantic and natural style of her photos when choosing a photographer. Leading up to our wedding, she was incredibly responsive and kind which was so helpful during the planning stages. We hired her to take both photos of our rehearsal dinner and our wedding- and could not be happier with the beautiful photos we received. Ashley and her team made my husband and I feel so calm and at ease taking photos. A sudden sun shower struck during our outdoor ceremony and knowing that we'd be a little upset, she made a point to show us how beautiful the rain looked in the photos afterwards. Multiple guests mentioned to us how great our photographer was and how they enjoyed having their picture taken by her. We recently received all of our photos back and are completely floored by how stunning they are! She also captured some special candid moments without us even noticing she was there. We can't stop looking through them and finding another favorite. Ashley is the absolute best and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

Ashley is the absolute best!

Ashley is just incredible! She captures all of the magic in the small moments and the big ones. Her and her team were so fun to work with and we couldn't imagine anyone else capturing our love. We are obsessed with all of the photos she has done for us and will cherish them for a lifetime. Her style is timeless and beautiful. We cannot recommend Ashley and her team enough! Thank you!

Ashley is incredible

Ashley is absolutely incredible and so talented. We hired her for our May 2022 wedding and could not be happier with the photos. Additionally, her presence is amazing. She is so calm, easy to work with, and gives just the right amount of direction that made us feel at ease and natural. People came up to me during our wedding to say how amazing our photographer was, and that was before we even saw any pictures! She captured everything perfectly, from the posed photos to the candid ones, and we are obsessed with every picture in our gallery (which we received so quickly!). Like most brides, I was hoping for a sunny wedding day but the day was overcast and rainy. Ashley's photos made me wonder why I ever wanted sun in the first place! She made the rain look so dreamy and even jumped into a bush to capture some of my favorite photos of the day. Her style is timeless and romantic and she manages to capture the emotion of the moment so when we look at our pictures, we don't just see a beautiful image, we actually feel the happiness we felt that day. Simply put, we absolutely loved working with Ashley and adore our photos. We recommend her 100%!!!

Our Dream Wedding Pictures!

Working with Ashley is an absolute dream! She is SO very talented (I think one of her most special gifts as a photographer is her ability to "find the light"). She knows how to work that sunlight! She brings the sunshine, herself, too, by always being warm, friendly, and encouraging. She is the perfect combination of professional and friend in the photoshoot process. "Words of affirmation" is one of both my husband's and my top love languages, and Ashley was so affirming during both our engagement shoot and wedding shoot. She made our inexperienced posing selves feel like models in front of her camera.

Exceptional

My husband and I were looking for the absolute best vendors in the business for our August 2020 wedding. We were willing to bring in anyone from anywhere in the United States to hire the best photographer. Luxury, detail, romance, beauty, 5 star service, experienced, professional, advanced, high touch , best of the best .... all were qualifications for being part of our team of vendors. That exactly what we got in Ashley Cox. After extensive research searching for the best photographer, it was Ashley’s Instagram photos of other couples weddings that drew us to her. We wanted light and airy- magical lighting - romantic- we wanted to be photographed without knowing we were being photographed - we wanted dramatic detail - candid and natural- we wanted feelings and emotions captured not just faces. Ashley delivered in every area. Not one moment or detail was missed. Not only is she a phenomenal photographer, but she has incredible artistic skills above all the rest and a superior ability to photograph with film , making the images extra magical . Above all she is kind, professional , smart, artistically gifted, and extremely personable and can create any kind of package to meet your needs. She is extremely respected in the event industry. Our wedding gallery is an absolute work of art. We recommend Ashley Cox Photography in the most highest regard.

Incredible

Hiring Ashley for our wedding was the best decision we made in preparation for our big day. From beginning to end, Ashley was an absolute pleasure to work with. She made us feel so comfortable and was a great resource in planning our wedding. Her work is breathtaking and speaks for itself. We never imagined we would have such beautiful images captured to remember our special day. We now have a collection of photographs that we will cherish and share for the rest of our lives.

Ashley is phenomenal!

Ashley is truly the BEST! As a Charlottesville local, I have always adored Ashley’s work. As soon as I started wedding planning, speaking with Ashley was the very first thing I did— securing her was my first priority!

Her photos speak for themselves as she is truly an artist and exceptionally talented. However, equally as important for a wedding photographer is their demeanor and professionalism. I was nervous (to say the least) before the ceremony and Ashley’s comforting energy and special spirit made me all the more grateful she was my wedding photographer.

I have a huge family, and Ashley wrangled them all effortlessly. I’ve never seen a photographer handle my family so well! My entire family and wedding party loved her and have raved about her work.

I recommend Ashley so very highly. She remains calm in the chaos, is efficient, patient, gracious, and is wildly-talented. She is truly an artist, and will go above and beyond for you!

Incredible

I couldn't recommend Ashley more strongly - she is incredible. On the day of the wedding - the emotional range of our friends and family was a mix of sentimental, stressed, exuberant, energetic, and... maybe tipsy. Ashley managed everyone and our schedule well, while being incredibly warm, friendly, and fun. She kept my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera... a truly hard task. I was blown away by the images we received , as well as the candid moments and conversations she was able to document, without us ever noticing she was there. We'll treasure the pictures forever.

Real, candid shots of Indian-American wedding - we loved!

Ashley was incredible to work with for our Indian-American wedding! She captured exactly what we wanted - candid, natural shots - while also recognizing and picking up the symbolic moments to our Indian wedding (as well as pre-wedding festivities). She was really responsive to all of our questions throughout the entire process. We could't recommend her more!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
