Ashley is a fantastic photographer. She made us look absolutely fabulous in all of our pictures - the pictures are beyond anything I could have dreamed of! As engineers, we're not the most photogenic or comfortable in front of a camera, but she made us so comfortable that you'd never know it. She captured the true essence of our relationship in both our wedding pictures, as well as our engagement pictures.

In addition, we had the added challenge of covid - our wedding was originally scheduled for April 2020. Ashley was so flexible and easy to work with given the volatile situation, and made sure that not only did we love our photos, but also that all of our guests were comfortable at all times.

We can't recommend Ashley enough!

We booked Ashley for our wedding portrait session at Brookside Gardens, and we had the most wonderful experience working with her. From the very beginning she was friendly, prompt to respond to messages, super organized, and easy to work with. As soon as we arrived for the photo session she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease; I felt like I had known her for a long time. She captured all of the moments that we had wanted and more; over the course of two hours we shot in multiple locations, and she was comfortable coaching us in terms of poses that would look good while also allowing us to feel natural and totally at ease. As we moved around the garden Ashley was great at finding creative locations and unique angles. The pictures were delivered extremely quickly (faster than the two week timeline she had initially suggested) and turned out amazingly beautiful and romantic. She really understood what we were going for aesthetically and captured the warm, beautiful glow of a summer's day perfectly. I will always feel happy when I look back at these photos - not only are they gorgeous but they also express our feelings of love and happiness on that day. I would highly recommend Ashley - she is a wonderful professional as well as a truly awesome person to work with.

I think my title says it all. Working with Ashley was an absolute dream. She's professional, smart, talented, artistic, and just an amazing person. We LOVE LOVE LOVE her and the photos she shot of our day.

We are so happy to have found Ashley to cover our wedding day to capture all of the details of a day that just flew by! Ashley is very easy to work with - from setting up our initial meeting to the wedding day and all of the communication in between, Ashley was just amazing. She made sure to capture all of the moments we would want (and more) including ensuring to capture requested posed shots with family. Our photos our absolutely beautiful - between the lighting, the color and the various mix of candid and posed shots, these photographs will help us remember our wedding day for years to come! Thank you for these memories!

Ashley is very professional and really fun to work with; we really liked her on a personal level! But most importantly, her photos are amazing and has the coolest effects that we could never have figured out how to do on our own.

As part of our package, we got an additional photo shoot (e.g. engagement photos), and as soon as we saw those photos, we knew that we had picked very well. The colors were so vibrant and the settings were creative (and not boring). She also helped us with our poses; we are not natural models. Ashley is really good at instructing women on how to hold themselves so that the pictures will come out best, such as not squishing our arms against our bodies, which makes our upper arms look larger. I still try to remember her techniques!

On our wedding day, Ashley kept the wedding party on time, which wasn't easy. Despite being pregnant (her due date was in two weeks) she maintained her professionalism and physical flexibility, even when confronted with unexpected circumstances. We had many guests and relatives requesting photo ops and a persistent threat of thunder showers during our outdoor, pre-ceremony photo shoot. Ashley seemed to have a plan and back-up plan for everything, which was likely gleaned from her vast experience and expertise. She has an eye for creativity and a unique vision for finding the perfect lighting or angle in every moment.

During our wedding, we were amazed by Ashley’s ability to both blend into the room and take command of the situation when necessary. She exudes the quiet confidence required to keep your guests and relatives from distracting from wedding pictures or attempting to control the staging of the pictures (yes, we have some difficult relatives, and Ashley handled them respectfully and firmly). Because we had already set up a list of must-have photos (e.g. with particular relatives), she politely removed uninvited friends and relatives from photos that they were not supposed to be in. Later in the evening, she got fantastic candid shots of our friends dancing. Since she took multiple photos of all our (100+ guests), we sent pictures of our guests to them as part of our thank you notes, which our guests loved.


We debated whether to get a wedding album (additional) and are so glad that we did because it is so nice to have a compilation of our favorite photographs and memories of us with our family and friends. It also looks really classy and is a nice addition to our living room.
We enjoyed working with Ashley from our initial consultation to the engagement shoot, wedding day, and final meeting. We highly recommend Ashley Michelle Photography!!

I think the best review I can leave of Ashley is what others said of my photos when I sent out the link:

“ They did a great job, you guys are beautiful obviously. They did a great job capturing emotions.”
“ She did a good job with your photos. It also helps that you guys are a beautiful photogenic couple.”
“ Those are really great photos!! 🤩🥳😍”

Suffice to say, Ashley does a great job. She is organized and professional. The lighting is impeccable. She sends out a form closer to the wedding asking you for the specific shots/images you want captured, and then discusses it with you in detail. Would definitely recommend her to others!

Ashley is amazing at her craft. My husband and I knew from the moment we met with her, we wanted her to be apart of our big day.

She was a fly on the wall during the reception. She allowed us to enjoy our evening while capturing great candid photos. Every ran smoothly and according to plan. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.

We are so thrilled that we received a recommendation to reach out to Ashley to photograph our wedding- it was the absolute best decision. Ashley's work is just incredible and we could not be happier with how our wedding photos turned out. Not only is her work amazing, she is such a joy to work with- she made us both feel extremely comfortable which really helped make the photos as amazing as they are. Additionally, Ashley met with us multiple times before (by phone and in person) to ensure all of our "must-have" photos would be taken. Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding truly a dream come true, and we are so excited to be able to relive the day through the beautiful photos!

We did a lot of searching for a photographer. We wanted someone who could capture the emotions of our wedding on film in an interesting way. Ashley's portfolio stood out. Meeting her you immediately feel reassured in your investment. She is a professional that takes the responsibility of capturing your wedding seriously, but is still flexible and laid back. We were 100% confident Ashley would create beautiful photos. What she delivered is a gift that we will forever treasure.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! We ABSOLUTELY ENJOYED working with Ashley!!! Her portfolio truly stood out from the pack and once we started talking to her and meeting with her, we knew immediately that we had the right photographer for us! From our engagement shoot to the actual wedding day, Ashley listened to our needs and incorporated them into her photos. The schedule was a bit tight, but Ashley never complained and even offered great suggestions. Now after seeing the results, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ashley!! You will not be disappointed!!!
