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 :)

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!

My wife and I were so happy with every aspect of working with Ashley! Ashley is very skilled and has great vision, was always professional and accommodating, and we love both our engagement and wedding collections! Our wedding collection turned out so beautifully that we're having trouble narrowing down to our favorites. But, I think the best thing about working with Ashley was how comfortable she made us feel. It felt like we were working with a friend, not a "vendor". And given the fact that your wedding day is probably one of the most nerve-wracking days of your life, being comfortable with Ashley and having her help us stay calm and be ourselves was key! We would absolutely work with Ashley again (and we hope we get the chance to)!

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.

Trust me! You want to have Ashley shooting your wedding photos!! She is an amazing woman and has incredible talent with a keen eye for detail! I will cherish our photos forever!

After attending a wedding that Ashley shot, Mitch and I quickly knew we wanted to have her apart of our wedding. Initially meeting with Ashley was so comfortable and friendly. We got a great vibe from her from the start. In the summer, we shot our engagement pictures with her and our dog. She was very accommodating and really knew the best places to get a good shot! Our evening with her felt like a night out with a friend. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole time. When we got our pictures back, we were blown away with how beautiful and natural they were! The amount of compliments we got was unreal! For our wedding day, Ashley was on time, calm, and as always, hilarious! She made the morning/getting ready so much fun, she worked so well with our videographer, and brought along a great backup shooter. Ashley was organized and assertive as she wrangled all our families together for family portraits. We were able to get so many shots in prior to the ceremony because of how well she directed us. Throughout our whole wedding, Ashley captured it all. Our wedding was in June, and I still feel like I look through the pictures daily!! I highly highly recommend Ashley for any photography needs. Her pictures are breath taking, natural, and unique. Asking Ashley to be apart of our big day was the smartest part of our wedding planning and she gave us something to cherish forever!! Thank you so much, Ash!!

Ashley is a dream partner to work with. From the first moment she was engaging, easily reachable and very relaxed - there was never any confusion about her pricing or availability, and she was flexible with me while I tried to coordinate a small wedding from abroad.

The weeks before the wedding she would check in and ask me what I needed, and she was super punctual the day of. I really cannot express how much her presence was a gift on my big day - she kept me calm and was aware of so many details that were missed (like reminding my sister to take her watch off for pictures or picking lint or a stray hair off a shoulder), and none of the pictures we ended up with looked forced or staged.

Her style is very organic - this meant that I could keep my introverted groom focused on me and our day without him feeling on-the-spot or uncomfortable. Normally he can be quite stiff for pictures - but her photos really captured the man I fell in love with and the love we share.

If you are looking for joyful, organic photos that will tell the story of your day and the people that you love, Ashley would be my #1 recommendation. I will always be grateful for the pictures she took for us and how honestly they capture the love that was shared on our special day.

Ashley is a great vendor and partner to have on your team in the months leading up to your big day and the day of your wedding! She made sure she was always avaiable for us the months leading up to our wedding, on the weekends and at night. We always felt like we were her only client and top priority. She knew how much we love photos and brought extra film to shoot the day of our wedding (THANK YOU!!). We absolutely love our photos and get a ton of compliments from family and friends on the creativity and photo quality. Thank you so much Ashley for capturing our most perfect day, we are forever grateful.

Ashley was hands down the best wedding vendor decision we made in every way possible. Not only is she incredibly talented, friendly, and always available, but she went above and beyond to make sure my day was perfect. We FaceTimed so many times leading up to the wedding and she made it seem as though I was always her top priority. She even FaceTimed with me on a Friday night and reached out to nearly all of her florist contacts to help me find someone after I unexpectedly had to cancel my contract with my previous florist. Needless to say, Ashley was more than just my photographer, but was a friend/therapist through the entire process and I could not have done it without her.

The day of the wedding, Ashley was organized and commanded the whole group to make sure we stayed on schedule. The entire wedding party and all of the parents loved her and she was joyful to be around the whole day. Also, I have been to several weddings where all you notice is the photographer snapping pictures, but somehow she managed to be discreet and blend in with the wedding- and still get all of the pictures!
Having my wedding in December, my biggest fear was what the weather was going to be like and how to prepare for it. In true friend fashion, Ashley helped me pick out the “just in case umbrellas” and drove around town the day before the wedding looking for all the potential photo locations. Of course it poured the day of, but we made the most of it and the umbrella pictures are some of my favorites!

Every single picture turned out absolutely amazing. I have gotten SO many compliments, and several people have told me they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen. Not only will she perfectly capture your day and give amazing memories, but she will overall make your day better. I could go on and on about why you should choose Ashley for your wedding or next event, but just trust me and do it!

Ashley makes you feel at ease and capture each moment beautifully.
