While Ashley and I attended the same high school, I originally reconnected with her after I saw that she photographer another high school friend’s wedding. I started following her photography on Instagram well before I met my now husband. When my husband and I began dating and I knew I would marry him one day, I knew I had to have Ashley be our photographer. Not even a few weeks after being engaged I reached out to Ashley to connect and discuss hiring her as our wedding photographer. And honestly, it was the best decision we made for our wedding other than marrying each other. Both my husband and I are very camera shy and hate having our photos taken, but Ashley made us so comfortable it was like we were hanging out and catching up with a close friend rather than having someone take pictures of us. Her bright and natural photography style is exactly what we were looking for in a society where highly edited and photoshopped styles are popular. From our engagement shoot in the San Bernardino Mountains to our wedding at Lake San Marcos, Ashley embraced us and the natural scenes around us which is exactly what we wanted with an outdoor wedding in November. She worked diligently with us on our timeline to make sure we wouldn’t miss the sunset with our winter wedding and on the day of the wedding she made sure we were happy and as relaxed as we could be, that we had a drink in our hands post ceremony and even brought me an extra slice of cake after our cake cutting. Not even a week after the wedding she had sneak peak of photos ready for us to look at. There is not a picture she took and presented to us that we don’t love. I would love for her to photograph every major moment in our married life together and highly recommend her.

Stop what you are doing and HIRE ASHLEY RIGHT NOW! I found Ashley on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. From the moment we had our first phone call, I knew I would be hiring her - not only for her vision but for her amazing personality and overall just fabulous spirit. I hired Ashley before we even had a date or venue set. Before our engagement photos, she truly took the time and got to know my fiancé and I. She carefully picked out locations that best fit our personality and even made sure we could have an animal friendly location to make sure our two Labs made it into our photos. Both of us being camera shy, Ashley made us feel comfortable and she was silly which helped us relax a lot. Her preparation and communication before the wedding was unmatched. She was perhaps the most prepared person on the day of our wedding. Ashley handled my VERY large family, including an unruly uncle, with poise and reverence. She, again, made us all feel at ease in front of the camera. She truly is the best vendor we worked with and I'd hire her over and over. All our photos - engagement and wedding - turned out to die for. I cried with each photo because of how perfectly Ashley captured our perfect day, with our perfect dogs, and our amazing friends and family. I plan have Ashley continue to capture all of our amazing life events going forward. Hire her!

Hiring Ashley for our wedding was the single best decision we made! Not only did the photos turn out beautifully, but also the day went so much smoother because of her help! We threw together a very last-minute, backyard COVID wedding, and thankfully Ashley was available. She was so responsive and worked very quickly with us to make all the arrangements. She worked really hard in advance to understand (and help us think through!) what type of photos we wanted. She also helped us figure out the best timeline for the ceremony and other wedding events.

The day of, Ashley arrived early and immediately set to work figuring out the best spots for photos in our Airbnb. She was so organized and took the helm on making sure everything went smoothly that day. The florist actually thought Ashley was our wedding coordinator (which she basically functioned as!). I can honestly say our wedding day went so much better thanks to Ashley’s help. Ashley’s bright and cheerful personality set everyone at ease, and we are very happy with the photos. I cannot recommend Ashley enough! She is so talented and such a wonderful person, we just love her!
