BLESSED to have Ashley
I truly don't have words to explain how incredible Ashley is. Besides her undeniable talent as a photographer (which my friends from all over the country are BEGGING me to see if she'll travel) I was a completely overwhelmed DIY bride without a wedding planner (and I can't express this enough) Ashley was truly the kindest, understanding, and most talented photographer. My fiance wasn't sold on the idea of having a photographer...and then he met Ashley. We were married last week (5/24/24) and he hasn't stopped talking about how amazing she was...and neither have my family and friends.
PLEASE if you're getting married in the Philly area Ashley is by far the most incredible photographer in the area, and if you're lucky enough to have her you'll never regret it. Also, the photos attached are JUST my sneak peak photos, so I can't imagine how incredible the rest will be. -

Ashley is hands down the best photographer I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She is so organized, so friendly, so professional, and just such a talented artist. She made me and my husband feel so comfortable in front of the camera on our wedding day, giving thoughtful suggestions when needed for poses, what to do with our hands, the angles of our faces, etc. And the photos speak for themselves: every picture is STUNNING, a frame-worthy work of art. I am so impressed by everything she was able to capture during our wedding, from gorgeous portraits, to intimate and beautiful candids, to stunning still life shots of wedding items that she artfully and carefully arranged. My friends and family loved her and all commented on how personable and professional she was. HIGHLY recommend Ashley for all your photography needs! -

Ashley did such a good job with both our engagement and wedding photos. She captured so many beautiful moments in a way that felt authentic to our experience. Looking at our photos is like reliving the day. We got married outside in nature, and she did an amazing job of capturing the beauty of the park. She also got my young nephews to look at the camera and smile! Ashley's presence helped me to feel relaxed and confident. She encouraged us to be in the moment but also gave direction on how to pose when I was looking for it. She was organized and reliable throughout the planning stages and on the day of. She put together the most comprehensive schedule for the day which really helped to set me at ease in the weeks leading up. I can not recommend her enough. -

Lauren Sent on 10/16/2023Best choice I made for my wedding
Ashley is not only an excellent photographer, but she was my BFF throughout the entire wedding planning process. She made an incredibly detailed timeline and worked with us and the venue to ensure that every photo we wanted had the opportunity to be taken. She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot that we decided to add her on for rehearsal dinner coverage as well and I can't imagine anyone else capturing our "vibe" as well as Ashley did. She captured so many genuine moments while remaining discreet, but somehow was next to me with safety pins when my dress broke. She was so patient and helpful during the album-making process and allowed me to customize everything. Cannot recommend enough!!! -

Kyle M. Sent on 01/09/2024Amazing Personal Touch for our Queer Wedding
Ash made my husband and I feel so well taken care of on the day of our wedding. We did not have a traditional wedding at all, and she listened to our ideas and requests and made us feel so comfortable and actually have fun posing for photos as a couple and with our guests and family. We had 3 locations for our wedding - the ceremony in a garden, the reception in an intimate restaurant, and the after party in a beer garden. Ash came with us to each space and like a fly on the wall captured so many excellent candid moments. I feel like she really understood the vibe and tone of our celebration and captured it perfectly - we love the photos (which she got to us so quickly and even mailed us prints)!
We definitely recommend Ash to any couple, and can say for other queer couples you will be well cared for and your photos will be as unique and special as your union :)
Thanks Ash! -

Definitely Recommend
We took engagement photos with Ashley. Being my first photo shoot, I wasn't sure what to expect and felt pretty nervous going into it. Ashley was kind, made us laugh and also made us feel at ease! She took wonderful photos and the experience was great. She was easy to work with and I appreciated that she was considerate of our wants/opinions for the photos as well. For example, she guided us throughout the shoot but then asked if there was anywhere/anything else we wanted to shoot. We enjoyed our experience and definitely recommend Ashley! -

Elise G. Sent on 06/29/2023The best wedding decision we made
Ashley is the photographer you want at your wedding. Her photos are beautiful (we did a mix of digital and film) and almost seem like paintings. We wanted the pictures to look like the actual day, not too stylized or over-edited, with a mix of candids and thoughtful compositions. Ashley did all that and more - her secret superpower is her ability to capture our feelings and not just our faces. We are instantly transported back to the day when we look back at our photos. She’s also incredibly organized, responsive, creative, and just great to be around!! We opted for the package that included the engagement shoot and that was absolutely the right decision. It was so great getting to know her before the wedding and have pictures to use for save the dates and the website. She also works fast - we got some sneak peek photos the day after the wedding and the full album about 6 weeks after that. Truly couldn’t have imagined it looking better or like anything else. Now you just have to meet her and see for yourself!! -

Lauren H. Sent on 05/04/2022Multitasker extraordinaire
My fiance and I had never done a photo shoot before and really did not know what to expect at all. Ashley made us feel comfortable and relaxed during the entire shoot. She captured moments that were very natural and did not feel or look 'staged' as many other engagement shoots I have seen tend to be. Ashley was such a multitasker as she was capturing photos, trying to get the attention of our dog and dodging traffic/pedestrians all at the same time! We are so happy with our photos and would 100% recommend her. -

Kerry C. Sent on 10/06/2022The easiest and best photography experience!
Ashley was amazing to work with. She met with me via Zoom and then again with both me and my now husband to ensure she knew exactly what we were looking for from a photographer. I explained that I really didn't want too many posed pictures since I thought they tended to look fake. Ashley listed to my wants, and incorporated that into the "posed" pictures we did take. She managed to ensure we still looked like we were alive even in the more stiff family shots.
We had Ashely as our main photographer and Candice as our second shooter. Candice went with the gentlemen in the morning for their getting ready and captured all the fun and excitement. Between the two of them, they probably took over a thousand pictures. The final pictures were delivered through a secure website that was really easy to use and share with others.
I am so glad I hired Ashley as my wedding photographer. It was one less thing I had to stress about on the day of, as she clearly knew what she was doing and how to take the best photos. -

Exactly what we wanted!
Ashley was perfect - she captured all our special moments and then some. It was the exact aesthetic and edit that we wanted. Our ceremony was outside and our photos are the perfect reflection of the beautiful nature landscape we were in. We barely noticed she was taking photos so we were able to stay in the moment - which is also exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend! -

Ashley was our main photographer at our wedding and she was amazing. Our experience with Ashley was very natural and she was able to capture our moments effortlessly. When we received our photos I couldn't believe how amazing they looked, it was as if our pictures belonged in a magazine. I would definitely refer her to everyone that I know.
