About

My wedding photography style is:
My wedding photography style is balanced. I love capturing moments as they happen but I also know it’s important to provide the right amount of direction at times. I’m very laid back and I don’t want the day to feel staged but I know when to be assertive and to make sure the moments flow so couples get the most from their photography.

I love photographing weddings because:
I love photographing weddings because they’re awesome! The energy of the day is always exciting and inspiring. There are so many organic and emotional moments to capture, some of which the bride and groom may not see until they look at their photos. There are also endless opportunities for creativity- what more can a photographer ask for?

My personality is:
Let’s put it this way- I’m 50% yoga, 50% Wu Tang. I love a good cup of coffee (hence the name!) at home but I also love a good band at a good brewery. I’m all about keeping it local to this amazing area we live in, and at the same time I love to travel! Call it indecisive, call it balance- it’s what works for me!

What makes my business standout from other photographers is:
I’ve been told it’s the personal relationship and level of comfort I develop with my clients. I never want photography to be stressful, especially on a wedding day.

My pricing:
Wedding packages start at $1,800. I also offer custom packages and a la carte options. Please contact me for more information!

Amazing wedding photographer!!

Ashley was was exceptional and truly made our wedding day extra special. She went above and beyond to capture every moment and made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire day. Her creativity and attention to detail resulted in stunning photos that we will cherish forever. We couldn't be happier with her work. She even helped me prep for the wedding day by building me a photography timeline, which was super helpful!! She recommended that I create a list of shots we want to get so nothing was left out. Highly recommend Ashley and Grind & Press Photography!!

THE perfect photographer

Ashley was great to work with from the very first email. She was responsive, proactive and accommodating through many scheduling changes, and helped us capture the perfect moments throughout our wedding. She was really creative in her shots and generally just a blast to work with. We especially appreciated how she was able to bring a calming and thoughtful presence in the midst of all the wedding chaos :). Ashley was simply fantastic!

The best decision we made!!

There is not enough room to describe how incredible Ashley is!! Throughout the whole process of wedding planning picking a photographer was the most important and best decision we made. Ashley is prompt, professional, but also has a way of making you feel so comfortable!! During our engagement shoot she took the time to get to know us as people, and that really led to our ability to be our nerdy, authentic selves. She makes the whole process fun and relaxed which helps so much on the wedding day knowing that I could just let her take the reins and work her art! She gave so much of her time and effort to make our day as easy as possible while managing to get "us" is such a beautiful way. We cannot stop raving about her and look forward to having her as a photographer in the future!!

Best Hype Woman Ever! Memories forever!

I hired Ashley for our engagement and wedding photography and gained a forever photographer! She is professional, caring and makes shoots fun, for even the most awkward of people! She not only photographed my wedding but also helped me create a schedule and stay on track! She is the best hype woman you could ask for! I will recommend Ashley to all my friends and family! I will cherish the photos forever, the work she produces is priceless. Thank you for giving me all the confidence on my wedding day and helping me keep everything together! Can’t wait for all of our future shoots!

Absolutely stunning photos—highly recommend

Not only were our photos stunning (our entire family is obsessed) but Ashley was such a pleasure to work with. From our calls beforehand to get a sense of what we were looking for, to later ironing out the details, to how fun she was to work with the day of, we could not have imagined a better experience.

Beautiful wedding photos

We booked Ashley over the last couple of years to do photos of us with our dogs. She is professional, creative, calm, and a pleasure to be around. Not to mention her photos are always so beautiful! We didn’t want anyone else to take photos of the biggest day of our life. My husband and I are in love with our wedding photos! I could not be happier with the way they turned out. Friends of mine told me they wished she was their wedding photographer. We decided to do a second wedding look at a different location, a few weeks after our wedding. Without a doubt, we booked Ashley to do our photos. I’m obsessed with how they came out! I highly recommend booking Ashley for your big day or any other occasion. We will continue to book her for our future photos.

Amazing Photographer

You’ve heard the phrase; “a picture is worth a thousand words” well, Ashley is the photographer they had in mind.
Bottom line, pick Ashley for any photography need you have and set your mind at ease. Beyond her amazing skill and talent for photography composition, she is about the most amazing person you’ll ever meet. Genuine in every sense of the word, from the beginning you’ll feel like you’ve been friends for years, and wish you’d known her even longer than that.
Ashley not only took amazing photos of the classic moments of our wedding but also slipped into the background to capture candid memories that most photographers would miss. She helps with the advance planning of particular pictures so nothing is forgotten in the moment and guides the entire process in such a truly caring manner. This is her passion, and it is to all our benefit.
She is our photographer for life.

Ashley was incredible as our wedding photographer! She knew awesome locations for our "first look" and bridal party pictures and kept us on our timeline without stressing. She was always highly responsive and her photography is just amazing. Cannot recommend her enough!

What a great company to work with . Ashley is hands down one of the easiest photographers to work with. She is more laid back, easy going and her photos are some of the best.. 90% of the weddings I have done with Ashley , have all been featured on a blog or magazine. If you are not a fan of having your photo taken, you will love working with Ashley. She makes you feel at ease , comfortable and of course it shows in the photos she takes.

I have had the opportunity to work with this talented lady several times in the last few months. She is everywhere while shooting the event. She works really hard to get all those wonderful little touches that the bride and groom might not have seen during the event but will love when they see the picture. Those are the really important pictures!
