Pranee was the photographer for our wedding this past June. We booked her for an engagement shoot, wedding photos, and a photobooth. Pranee was fantastic! She was prompt, prepared, and just fun to hang out with. The photos were absolutely gorgeous - everything we imagined. We highly recommend her!

Whenever I would think about my future wedding the main thing I always wanted were amazing pictures. Pranee went above and beyond what I hoped for. From our amazing engagement shoot, to our wedding day she did amazing. I can't stop looking at our pictures. They are that good! My husband HATES getting his picture taken, but Pranee always made us feel so comfortable and always had us laughing. Honestly if felt like we had been friends for years! She captured every amazing detail and then some. Honestly the biggest problem is that it is going to be so hard to choose which pictures to actually hang in the house. We hope to use Pranee for all of our pictures down the road. If you are looking for a wedding photographer than look no further, Beauty for Ashe's is where its at! Also book the photo-booth, you wont regret it! It adds such a fun factor to the reception and the pictures are priceless!

We don't have our pro pics back yet since our wedding was just 48 hours ago, but I already know they will be nothing shy of perfection! Pranee is the absolute BEST to work with! She was on-time, excited, and flexible with our wedding party and crazy family dynamics. The groomsmen said that her assistant who photographed them did a phenomenal job and was so much fun to hang out with. Our engagement session was perfect, and Pranee somehow found a way to make our photos look like a million dollars even though it was rainy/misty all day. We also used Pranee for our wedding photobooth and our guests absolutely LOVED it! The props were so cute and the pictures were amazing! It even had our date and wedding hashtag on it. We've been seeing guests posts them on social media all weekend and they are truly fun reminders of the great day we had. We cannot wait to see our wedding pictures and just know they will be perfect and we can treasure them forever. Thank you Pranee for your kindness, patience, professionalism and eye for the little moments that mean the most!

Pranee is absolutely amazing! I have admired her work for years and when it was time for family pictures she was my first and only choice. We had a big family group of 12 people and Pranee did not disappoint. Pranee just has a personality that makes you feel relaxed and natural from the moment you meet her. We love our pics and can't wait to share them with friends and family. She is so sweet and thoughtful about where to place everyone without looking "posed". We had several teenage family members and they loved Pranee and thought she was "so cool". She took time with each shot and made sure that the lighting was perfect. We were also able to separate into smaller groups and we even got some individual shots of the kids. We loved everything about our experience with Pranee and she will for sure be our only choice for photographs in the future. She is highly recommended by our family!

We loved working with Pranee and her staff. They were fun loving and helped calm our nerves on our big day. Our wedding was outside and it rained the whole day. However, the crazy rain didn't stop Pranee from capturing every special moment. We have the most beautiful wedding photos and I am forever grateful to Beauty For Ashes Photography!

Our experience with Beauty For Ashes could not have been better. From the moment we met Pranee, she made us feel so comfortable.

Pranee took both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures. Unfortunately, our engagement shoot was not on the most beautiful day, but you would have NEVER known it from our pictures. We received hundreds of BEAUTIFUL images, and we loved every one of them! We got them back SO quickly.

On our wedding day, Pranee arrived very early to make sure she took pictures of the the venue and scenery. She took my dress and took gorgeous images of the gown in different locations. She did not miss one important moment of the entire day. She captured every smile, detail, and emotion of the day. We received beautifully engraved wooden flash drives with albums of gorgeous images from the Preparation, Ceremony, Bride & Groom, Group Formals, and Reception.

The work Pranee does is absolutely stunning. You will be very glad you chose Beauty for Ashes to forever remember your special day! We loved our photos so much, we are having her do our Maternity Photoshoot this summer!!

Pranee shot our wedding in August 2015 and there are so many great things to say about her. She was responsive and called us right after we sent our initial inquiry, and after meeting her, we knew she would be the one! The engagement shoot was a fun experience, she made us feel comfortable, suggested a great location, gave us guidance on excellent shots to take, the whole thing felt very easy and relaxing.

The quality of Pranee's work on the engagement shoot really blew us away. We came out of that shoot extra confident that she'd do an amazing job at the wedding. She was flexible and very responsive, coming over to our backyard venue weeks before the wedding (at our request) so that we could discuss the shots we had in mind. The day of the wedding was awesome, and even though we were in a frenzy getting ready, Pranee was calm and composed and put us at ease. We had a very small ceremony and reception, and she was masterful at shooting such an intimate wedding, blending in where needed but also joining in with us to help us set up some awesome shots and having tons of fun! We felt comfortable and considered her not only as a paid professional but also as a new friend and guest!

She is CRAZY FAST at sending previews (less than a day), and when we got the final package (with 1000 photos!) the quality was beyond our expectations, and captured so many of those little moments of the wedding that we wouldn't have even thought about. It is clear through her work that she is a true pro, and knows the wedding inside and out to deliver an amazing product. We were also highly impressed with the flash drive package she sent us, complete with wooden flash drives and prints on thick stock.

We couldn't have been more impressed with how Pranee captured our day and would recommend her in an instant to anyone. She is an amazing photographer, was priced fairly, and fun to work with. Highly recommend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
