About

On WeddingWire since 2013

Fantail Photography is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based wedding boutique photography studio focused solely on YOUR satisfaction. Its owner and photographer, Ashley Black, founded it to be a five-star experience for five-star couples. She has hundreds of weddings under her belt and will work side-by-side with you every step of the way, from initial consultation to the delivery of your amazing photos and beyond. Her vast wedding experience and gregarious, charismatic personality will leave you feeling like her only client, and you and your guests will rave about her on the big day!

AND, she's super local, making her home in the amazing small town of Kennett Square, PA, smack in the middle of southeastern PA's wedding county. She has shot at nearly all of the area's best wedding venues, too, so whatever your Philly, Southeastern PA, New Jersey, Delaware, or Maryland wedding looks like -- from casual family farm to fun beach to upscale mansion and everything in between -- her experience and enthusiasm will be a perfect match for it! Reach out today to schedule a consult over beer or coffee so you can get to know her, and she can geek out with you over your big day!

Oh, and PS. She is also a major nerd. Her daughter is named after a flower from Lord of the Rings, and she weekly plays Dungeons and Dragons with her best friends (including Joe, her second photographer!).

She’s like a Ninja in a party dress

Ashley Black of Fantail Photography is a talented photographer, accommodating, and delightful to work with. I’m recommending her to everyone I know getting married.

To quote my husband who is a videographer, “she’s like a ninja!” She manages to be everywhere she needs to be for a perfect shot without being seen. In a video of our ceremony, we see the top of her head by the front row of guests for a moment. Then she ducks out of sight and soon pops up at the opposite end of the aisle snapping more photos. I assume she pulled a duck and run move; it was fast.

Ashley and her assistant Joe were so much fun to work with but also professional. They’re organized, energetic, love to dance, and showed up ready to work and make our day special.

My father-in-law commented that compared to other wedding photographers, they were very organized and efficient. I was worried we had too many family portraits but we finished them rather quickly. She’s also great with kids. Ashley had our two-year-old nephew (and everyone) attentive and smiling in each portrait shot.

The photos we have so far are amazing. Per contract she posted a preview on Facebook the night of our wedding and emailed me more the next day. I can’t wait to see all the rest.

I encourage you to contact Ashley if you like Fantail’s style; even if you just like one photo. She’s very responsive, open to your ideas, and offers flexible packages.

Phenomenal Photographer

Working with Ashley and her second photographer, Joe, was a fantastic experience. From the 1st meeting with Ashley, we knew she was the perfect fit and she continued to exceed our expectations for our engagement and wedding photos. Ashley is creative with her photos and makes you feel so comfortable. She has an amazing personality and truly does everything in her power to make sure your day is perfect. She even checked in a few weeks before the wedding, the day before and day of. She truly cares about her clients and if you are looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond for you, look no further! Ashley is the one!

Absolutely the best!

Ashley made the entire experience fun and stress-free for us. From meeting us to discuss what we were looking for, to the wedding day and finally the album of amazing photos, she was supportive and enthusiastic all the way! Ashley and Joe captured all the perfect moments (and some funny imperfect ones) in a set of photos which will bring back the good memories of that day. Ashley also went above-and-beyond to help us several times at the wedding with corsage pinning, train bustling and other things we were too flustered to do right!
