Ashley is AMAZING and we LOVED her. She came to us highly recommended from another photographer, and the moment I looked at her portfolio - I loved her work. Looking through her photos - she had photographed a diverse client group including BIPOC and LGBTQ+, which was really important to us. I wanted to make sure I would have someone who was experienced with capturing different skin tones and different cultural wedding traditions - and Ashley definitely has both.

From the moment we had a meeting with her - we knew we were going to have her be our photographer. She was warm, bubbly and very knowledgeable and her wedding experience clearly shone through. She really brought my fiance out of his shell and made him smile, and we knew we'd have fun spending 10 hours with her on our wedding day. She also put us at ease when we talked about navigating difficult family dynamics - again her extensive experience here came through! She also is incredibly responsive and communication with her is a breeze!

On the day of the wedding - I can't even begin to describe how much fun Ashley made our day. We had so much fun laughing with her and even moments that could be stressful (family photos!) were really fun with her touch. We felt like we were hanging out with a friend all day. My parents and bridal party told me how sweet she was and how they loved being photographed by her. Then the amazing photos... she turned them around so fast it was amazing - our guests couldn't believe it. She made sure to take our preferences into consideration. We looooooved the quality and style of the photos. Most importantly, she captured all the important moments and the important people who were there. It was so fun reliving parts of the ceremony that I didn't even remember because it was a blur. She captured our cultural ceremony perfectly. She also made a priority to get photos from our photolist with important people in our lives - which we so appreciated after we had an unexpected loss in the family and realized how important it is to have photos memorializing everyone there.

Many other friends and brides who used other photographers told me they wished their photographer captured photos of them with family/important people but Ashley made sure to get all of those and there was no one who was left out. I cannot stress how important this is and what an incredible job Ashley did capturing everyone there. My parents could not have been happier with the photos which was so important to us.

I would highly recommend Ashley for your wedding and wouldn't look anywhere else! I have already recommended her to friends getting married in the Chicagoland area. Thank you Ashley and we will definitely work with you again in the future :)

Ashley was absolutely amazing. She is a critical part of what made our wedding day seamless and so special. Prior to the meeting we talked with Ashley three different times. She did all her homework on our venue and took all the information for our other vendors so she could connect with them. The day of the wedding she kept us moving and did such a great job at keeping us calm (we both tend to overstress during big moments). We did a first look, and both Ashley and her partner had a game plan for some amazing shots!! During the wedding she kept up with us and made sure we were enjoying our day. She was never far from us in case we needed a photo. There was one point the bride said “oh we should get a picture when the photographer is done eating” and Ashley was by our side in a second as she had heard us from several tables away and darted to our sides! Ashley felt more like a guest at our wedding than a vendor -- she was so much fun and did such a great job.
All the photos were more than we could have hoped for. We have been reliving the day by going through them all.

Working with Ashley was great! She did our engagement and wedding photos and did an amazing job. She was friendly and responsive from the beginning, was incredibly helpful with the wedding planning process, putting together our day-of timeline, and keeping everyone calm in the face of rain, broken zippers, and other wedding day hiccups! She's also an extremely talented photographer and editor. She also was extremely professional and went out of her way to make sure our photos were great, including visiting the venue with us ahead of time to find great photo locations. We love the photos and we would recommend Ashley to everyone!
