Ashley came recommended by our wedding venue, and her beautiful work immediately stood out. It also helped that she had photographed my friend’s wedding, so I felt completely at ease booking someone whose work I had already seen and trusted. I did the research (bride here!) and the groom was on board—but after our engagement session, even the groom was impressed. The first thing he said to me afterward was, “I really like her”.

The groom hates taking pictures and neither of us is naturally comfortable posing for photos, but Ashley made the entire experience feel effortless. She gave clear, direct cues and guidance, which we really appreciated—there was no awkward standing around or guessing what to do next. She was efficient, confident, and clearly knew exactly what she was doing. While there weren’t many instructions beyond location and timing details for the engagement session despite asking, and I did have to follow up about scheduling a phone call closer to the wedding since I wasn’t sure what to expect, it was still clear that Ashley is an expert who has everything under control.

On the wedding day, Ashley brought such a calm, reassuring energy and stayed organized throughout. We let her know ahead of time that we wanted to get most of our photos done before the ceremony so we could actually enjoy cocktail hour, and she executed this perfectly. She didn’t miss a beat, made sure to reference our short shot list which even I had already forgotten about, and thanks to her efficiency we were able to join cocktail hour for about 30 minutes—which meant so much to us. She also showed us quick previews of some shots to make sure we felt good about them, which we loved.

We received our wedding teasers barely two days after our wedding, which was a pleasant surprise since we didn’t expect it or even know to ask, and I am absolutely obsessed. I’ve been admiring these photos nonstop for the past two weeks. And if the teasers are any indication, the full gallery is going to be incredible.

We are so grateful we chose Ashley and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer who truly knows her craft.

P.S. I tried to resist uploading too many photos… but I just couldn’t help it!

My husband and I are so happy we chose Ashley and her team to capture our perfect day! First of all, I didn’t see anyone else offer the same level of service for such an affordable price - and I did lots of research. After meeting Ashley at our engagement shoot we knew our wedding day would be easy and she’d be able to capture our vision effortlessly. Not only were they so fun to work with, but they made sure we got all the shots we wanted and then some. Also, I love that we will get every single photo and video that they took - not a limited selection or only the final finished video. Thank you Ashley and team for helping us remember our day forever!!

Super affordable and high end images. Budget friendly but won’t disappoint. Seriously the best in the industry

Ashley is incredible in her craft! She really takes the time to capture your vision. I am very satisfied with my photos and video and would recommend Ashley to all couples looking for a photographer for their special day!

Ashley and her team were simply amazing! We loved our engagement photos and the wedding teaser photos we have received so far! Ashley did such a great job at making us feel comfortable during the photo taking process. I would highly recommend! Also, her pricing is very reasonable!

I don’t even know where to begin because Ashley was truly a blessing from start to finish. From the moment we booked, she was incredibly flexible, communicative, and genuinely invested in our vision. On the wedding day, she went above and beyond anything we expected — adjusting to last-minute changes, keeping us calm, and jumping in wherever needed without hesitation.

She has this amazing ability to make you feel comfortable, even in the middle of the chaos. She adapted to every situation — crazy timelines, weather shifts, family requests — with so much grace and patience.

The photos themselves? Absolutely breathtaking. She captured every emotion, every detail, and every meaningful moment so beautifully. It’s clear Ashley pours her whole heart into her work and care deeply about the couples she photographs.

If you want a photographer who is talented, flexible, and genuinely dedicated to making your wedding unforgettable, you won’t find anyone better.

Ashley was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very first message, she was warm, responsive, and genuinely excited for us. She made us feel like our day mattered as much to her as it did to us. For our engagement shoot, she was game for anything which was so much fun to just see what happened. It was raining but she was prepared and pivoted and made us feel like the rain was planned all along. On our wedding day, Ashley and Dave were pure magic, calm, cool, and collected, even when things got a little chaotic. She stepped in with such grace and confidence, advocating for us when our day-of coordinator was being difficult, and somehow kept the energy light and joyful the entire time. She has this incredible ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, which made the experience so natural and fun. It felt like Ashley and Dave were guests with cameras instead of vendors, which meant a lot as we really wanted the candid feel to the photos and based on the teasers, they got it perfectly. And the photos… I don’t even have words. The teaser photos alone brought me to tears, they captured the moment exactly as I remember it! They’re absolutely stunning. She captured not just the big moments, but the little in-between ones that tell the real story of our day. Every image feels like us, authentic, emotional, and beautiful- they were posed but it didn't feel like we were posing. If you’re a bride wondering whether to book Ashley, do it. She will not only give you breathtaking photos, she’ll bring expertise, excitement and high energy to one of the most important days of your life. We’re forever grateful to her. ❤️

We used Ashley for family photos after seeing her work on Instagram. Everything was fantastic- the ease of scheduling, she came to where we were staying, she worked so well with my kids. The photos were absolutely stunning. I have never worked with a photographer that got photos back to us this quickly. She was also so friendly, made us feel comfortable as my kids were running around, letting them have fun with the session. I would recommend her to any one and everyone.

Ashley and Dave were the most amazing team ever! They made every step of the day feel so natural and easy. I have gotten so many comments from family members saying these are some of the most beautifully crafted wedding photos they have ever seen and I couldn't agree more!
Thank you for making our day feel special

Ashley and her team were wonderful to work with! I found Ashley Krug Photography through a recommendation in a Wedding Facebook Group Page and thought this was a steal with how great a deal for photography and videography would be. I was able to get a package for an engagement photo shoot, two photographers for 10 hours and videography for a great price. We had Dave for our engagement photos in downtown Chicago. He was very personable and able to make my husband and I laugh, which we are typically not comfortable being the center of attention. We received so many compliments for our save the dates and wedding invites which included these photos. Ashley and two team members of her came for our wedding at the Brix and worked MAGIC! The three of them were so fun to talk with, ensured there was no family drama when taking photos, and made the process of portraits fun for my husband and I. Ashley was also very quick with a teaser turn around, which helped us reminisce on our day easy. Can’t wait to see our video and further photos! Definitely recommend Ashley Krug Photography for any photograph needs! 😊
