Caroline B. Sent on 03/11/2024Makes wedding pictures and day so smooth
Ashley is truly the best. She did both my bridals and wedding day pictures, and I cannot say enough about how amazing she is. There was never an uncomfortable moment, she makes pictures so easy. Even our guests commented about how great she was on our wedding day. The pictures are stunning, and if you are in the DFW area, I could not recommend here enough -

I would like to highly recommend working with Ashley Rains Photography for all of your wedding photo needs. Ashley photographed our engagement pictures, my bridal shots and of course our day-of photography! Ashley is reliable, considerate, fun and extremely easy to work with. She made me and my husband, as well as our families and wedding parties, feel comfortable and taken care of throughout all of the different photo shoots. From the very beginning I appreciated Ashley’s attention to detail, flexibility in scheduling and expertise in planning out what we needed. Her photography style matched exactly what I was looking for and truly captured our joy on the big day. I can’t thank Ashley enough for all of her hard work and skill in delivering us photos we will cherish forever. -

Beautiful Engagement Photos!!
Ashley did engagement shots for my fiancé and myself. We immediately felt comfortable in what I anticipated being an awkward experience. She had great recommendations for spots around Dallas & captured exactly what I was wanting. She was able to schedule us in very quickly & we got our photos back in time for our engagement party (which was one of my goals)! We got beautiful photos & all different styles of shots- all focusing on us as a couple. Definitely would recommend Ashley to anyone looking for an enthusiastic, professional photographer with a great eye!! -

Loved her!
Ashley was all we could ask for and more! She did my pregnancy photos, bridals and was also our wedding photographer. She was professional, extremely organized and an absolute sweetheart to work with. She really made us feel comfortable during our photo shoot by giving us great direction; which was important to us because we aren’t very natural in front of a camera haha. She will forever be my go-to photographer and I’ll recommend her to anyone who will listen! -

Ashley totally exceeded all of our dreams and expectations! I went to college with Ashley and we used to joke about her photographing my wedding someday, but as soon as my husband and I started planning, I knew I had to have her for photos! We first did our engagement photos and she took us to so many different areas so that we could get a huge variety of photos, and she blew us away with all of the pictures she sent our way just weeks later. After engagements, my husband felt so calm and comfortable about having her be there to shoot our wedding! She did such an incredible job with both our wedding and engagement photos, I can’t imagine choosing anyone else. Ashley was so organized and always on top of things! I was a nervous wreck on my wedding day and as soon as she showed up to shoot our getting ready pics, she brought such a calming presence and she carried that throughout the day. She didn’t miss a single special moment at our wedding, and getting our photos back to relive the day in such a beautiful way, was priceless. I love Ashley to death and she is an incredible photographer. Her variety, flexibility, organization, creativity, and her passion for what she does shows in every event that she shoots. I will never stop recommending her, 100% the best! -

If you are looking for a photographer who is down to earth, passionate about her work, and is genuinely interested in their clients happiness- Ashley Fondon with AR Photography is your girl. Ironically, I came across Ashley while I was attending a Bridal Show in Dallas with a friend of mine, helping pick out vendors for her wedding. After just a few words exchanged with her, she gave both my friend and I her business card. Even though this was me “pre-engaged” I was feeling optimistic and decided to keep her card for what I hoped was the near future. Two months later and BAM- I’m the engaged one! As soon as the planning began, I knew a photographer was going to be at the top of my list for vendors to look into and Ashley was still in the back of my head from just that brief conversation at the bridal show. I reached out to her and asked if she would feel comfortable meeting up with my fiancé and I for a glass of wine to get to know each other. After one hour of chatting, I felt like this girl could have been friends with us for years! We immediately bonded over our love for Texas Tech and soccer, and of course all of her examples from previous weddings spoke for themselves- she was our girl! We picked our first vendor!! Throughout the wedding process Ashley was always a quick call, text or email away. She is very attentive and truly invests in her couples she works with. I’ll never forget when she walked into the bridal suite on the day of my wedding with the biggest smile on her face and a warm hug. She made my fiancé and I feel so at ease. Every photo she captured on the day of our wedding has brought us tears as we have reminisced on the best day of our lives. She captured all of the raw emotion and love that was in the room, and all the small details that were our personal touches to the wedding. Nothing was overlooked. If it was socially acceptable to cover every square inch of my apartments with engagement/wedding pictures I totally would. Do yourself a favor and don’t stress over who you should hire for your photographer- if you go with Ashley, everything will be seamless and you can just focus on living in the moment and marrying the man/woman of your dreams. -

Best decision of my wedding planning process!
I booked Ashley somewhat late in my wedding planning process but when I worked with her on the day of my wedding it felt like I had known her for years! Ashley was accommodating, brilliant, and so much fun to work with. I can't recommend her enough! I will cherish our beautiful wedding photos forever and I have her to thank for them! Ashley will most definitely be our photographer for all our future occasions! -

Absolutely Amazing!
Ashley was absolutely AMAZING. The last photographer we will ever hire. She captured our favorite day in ways We couldn’t have imagined. These pictures make my heart so happy! We’re so lucky to have such an amazing and talented friend! After the wedding is over, all you have are the pictures, and she did such an beautiful job capturing all the amazing moments with my person. I knew that she would rock it and she completely blew my expectations out of the water. She had a way of capturing moments that illuminated the best time of our life. She makes you feel so comfortable, and brings the best out in you. I love that we will always have these pictures to remember the best day ever. We will continue to recommend her to everyone We know. I know that this will not be the last monumental moment she captures in our lives. ♥️♥️♥️ -

Sarah Sent on 12/21/2017Ashley did my engagements and boudoir shoots and both were not only super fun but turned out beautifully. I did not ever imagine I could look the way she made me and my fiancé look. She made us super comfortable and set everything up so that it was really easy for us to just show up and look good! I would recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing photographer, with and incredible eye that would also be a great friend.

Christina Sent on 12/09/2018Amazing!
I saw Ashley’s work displayed at the Dallas Bridal Show as we were on our way out and I was immediately OBSSESSED with her work. Most vendors were already packed up, so although I didn’t get to meet her in that moment, Ashley was very prompt to return my emails and discuss her style, pricing list (which was reasonable) and portfolio (which was even MORE incredible than what I had already seen at the show)!!! She does an excellent job at capturing just the right lighting without washing out the photos and keeping the color so crisp and vibrant! This was super important for (now) husband and I given that our venue was completely white. I ended up booking Ashley for our engagement photos, my bridals, and our wedding day. Ashley is SUPER sweet, very professional, and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera! Waiting for our wedding photos was the most painful experience because I knew she captured the most amazing parts of our day and I could hardly wait to see it all and let me tell ya, she did NOT disappoint!!! I would recommend Ashley to ALL my friends and family. At the end of your wedding, after all the planning, sweat, tears and craziness, all you will have left are pictures (& videos) to remember it all. Totally worth EVERY single penny! -

Whitneh Sent on 12/29/2018Beautiful photos, great personality!
Ashley immediately stood out to me because she uses a film camera. I saw her photos on Instagram and the way the colors pop in her photography is unreal. I asked her how she does it and she said because she uses a film camera she has to be very particular about the shots she takes, making sure the lighting is just right to capture the perfect moment. I knew then that her attention to detail is exactly what I needed for my wedding day. She also uses a DSLR for when the lighting is more dim and she walked me through how she wears a camera holster and switches between the two when she’s shooting. I just loved the way she explained that to me. On the wedding day, she was very timely. She got there early to set up all her shots and stayed until she captured the last sweet moment. She’s a great stylist! I was very impressed with how she positioned everybody for the photos as well as arranged our invitations and jewelry to get the best “detail” shots she could. Things were a little hectic that day and she was so patient and so versatile and all around a joy to work with. Ashley takes pride in her work and truly cares about her clients and it shows through her photos. I will forever cherish them. Even after the wedding she worked with our event planner to get our wedding featured in a magazine! I couldn’t be happier with Ashley and I highly recommend you book her for your wedding! -
