    Ashley is the absolute best!

    Ashley is just incredible! She captures all of the magic in the small moments and the big ones. Her and her team were so fun to work with and we couldn't imagine anyone else capturing our love. We are obsessed with all of the photos she has done for us and will cherish them for a lifetime. Her style is timeless and beautiful. We cannot recommend Ashley and her team enough! Thank you!

    Ashley was our dream wedding photographer

    Ashley is insanely talented and SO wonderful to work with. We were drawn to the romantic and natural style of her photos when choosing a photographer. Leading up to our wedding, she was incredibly responsive and kind which was so helpful during the planning stages. We hired her to take both photos of our rehearsal dinner and our wedding- and could not be happier with the beautiful photos we received. Ashley and her team made my husband and I feel so calm and at ease taking photos. A sudden sun shower struck during our outdoor ceremony and knowing that we'd be a little upset, she made a point to show us how beautiful the rain looked in the photos afterwards. Multiple guests mentioned to us how great our photographer was and how they enjoyed having their picture taken by her. We recently received all of our photos back and are completely floored by how stunning they are! She also captured some special candid moments without us even noticing she was there. We can't stop looking through them and finding another favorite. Ashley is the absolute best and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Ashley is incredible

    Ashley is absolutely incredible and so talented. We hired her for our May 2022 wedding and could not be happier with the photos. Additionally, her presence is amazing. She is so calm, easy to work with, and gives just the right amount of direction that made us feel at ease and natural. People came up to me during our wedding to say how amazing our photographer was, and that was before we even saw any pictures! She captured everything perfectly, from the posed photos to the candid ones, and we are obsessed with every picture in our gallery (which we received so quickly!). Like most brides, I was hoping for a sunny wedding day but the day was overcast and rainy. Ashley's photos made me wonder why I ever wanted sun in the first place! She made the rain look so dreamy and even jumped into a bush to capture some of my favorite photos of the day. Her style is timeless and romantic and she manages to capture the emotion of the moment so when we look at our pictures, we don't just see a beautiful image, we actually feel the happiness we felt that day. Simply put, we absolutely loved working with Ashley and adore our photos. We recommend her 100%!!!

    Incredible

    Hiring Ashley for our wedding was the best decision we made in preparation for our big day. From beginning to end, Ashley was an absolute pleasure to work with. She made us feel so comfortable and was a great resource in planning our wedding. Her work is breathtaking and speaks for itself. We never imagined we would have such beautiful images captured to remember our special day. We now have a collection of photographs that we will cherish and share for the rest of our lives.

    The BEST Wedding Photographer. Period.

    We simply could not have asked for a better photographer than Ashley. Not only is Ashley's photography amazingly stunning, she is also a kind soul who made us feel relaxed and comfortable from the moment we met her. She captured every single aspect of our day in grand fashion and not once did we ever feel awkward or forced. Ashley even served as a de facto, assistant wedding planner at times, helping coordinate group photos, the first look, and other smaller details in an organized, timely manner. Ashley and her team are incredibly professional, but also down-to-earth and tremendously easy and fun to work with. We HIGHLY recommend Ashley Cox to any couple looking for wedding photography!

    Our Dream Wedding Pictures!

    Working with Ashley is an absolute dream! She is SO very talented (I think one of her most special gifts as a photographer is her ability to "find the light"). She knows how to work that sunlight! She brings the sunshine, herself, too, by always being warm, friendly, and encouraging. She is the perfect combination of professional and friend in the photoshoot process. "Words of affirmation" is one of both my husband's and my top love languages, and Ashley was so affirming during both our engagement shoot and wedding shoot. She made our inexperienced posing selves feel like models in front of her camera.

    Exceptional

    My husband and I were looking for the absolute best vendors in the business for our August 2020 wedding. We were willing to bring in anyone from anywhere in the United States to hire the best photographer. Luxury, detail, romance, beauty, 5 star service, experienced, professional, advanced, high touch , best of the best .... all were qualifications for being part of our team of vendors. That exactly what we got in Ashley Cox. After extensive research searching for the best photographer, it was Ashley’s Instagram photos of other couples weddings that drew us to her. We wanted light and airy- magical lighting - romantic- we wanted to be photographed without knowing we were being photographed - we wanted dramatic detail - candid and natural- we wanted feelings and emotions captured not just faces. Ashley delivered in every area. Not one moment or detail was missed. Not only is she a phenomenal photographer, but she has incredible artistic skills above all the rest and a superior ability to photograph with film , making the images extra magical . Above all she is kind, professional , smart, artistically gifted, and extremely personable and can create any kind of package to meet your needs. She is extremely respected in the event industry. Our wedding gallery is an absolute work of art. We recommend Ashley Cox Photography in the most highest regard.

    Ashley blessed us with photos that we will cherish forever!

    Ashley is so incredibly talented, not to mention the sweetest! We are so happy with all of our wedding photos. She stood outside on the coldest, rainiest day in January to capture our special day. I was so worried that our photos would be compromised due to the weather, but the lighting was absolutely stunning and we have photos that we will cherish always. We are beyond blessed to have found Ashley to capture our special day. I highly recommend her for your wedding or any other special occasion. She is an absolute pleasure to work with!

    Ashley is fantastic!

    Ashley is incredibly talented, and we could not be happier that she shot our engagement photos and will be our wedding photographer. I was nervous about having our engagement photos taken, since neither of us had ever had professional photos done before- but it ended up being such a fun day that we’ll remember forever. Ashley was flexible and able to come up to shoot in our home in DC and around our neighborhood. From the moment she walked through the door I felt at ease. Not only is she so warm and kind, but she is incredibly talented. She managed to perfectly capture our relationship on film, with us laughing in our kitchen and nearby park, and even wrangle our 7 month puppy to pose perfectly. Every single photo is fantastic, and very "us" without being over-posed, while still making us look the best we have in our entire lives. Our friends and family can't get over how great the photos turned out. We couldn't recommend Ashley more, and now can't wait to see the magic she does for our wedding!

    Amazing Photographer!

    Ashley was a dream come true! On the hottest, most humid day of the summer, Ashley made our engagement shoot a fun and memorable experience. She was a consummate professional. Her vision for our photos was amazing, seeing beauty and opportunity in the most unique ways. We couldn’t be happier with the way our photos turned out and can’t wait to work with her again for our wedding in the spring!

    Incredible

    I couldn't recommend Ashley more strongly - she is incredible. On the day of the wedding - the emotional range of our friends and family was a mix of sentimental, stressed, exuberant, energetic, and... maybe tipsy. Ashley managed everyone and our schedule well, while being incredibly warm, friendly, and fun. She kept my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera... a truly hard task. I was blown away by the images we received , as well as the candid moments and conversations she was able to document, without us ever noticing she was there. We'll treasure the pictures forever.

    A classy experience!

    Ashley is a consummate professional. I don't like having my picture taken, but she made us feel so comfortable. At the wedding itself, she was nearly invisible, but when we got the pictures back... It was awesome. She captured so many perfect, candid moments. Would recommend for someone who wants a premium experience.

    Ashley is phenomenal!

    Ashley is truly the BEST! As a Charlottesville local, I have always adored Ashley’s work. As soon as I started wedding planning, speaking with Ashley was the very first thing I did— securing her was my first priority!

    Her photos speak for themselves as she is truly an artist and exceptionally talented. However, equally as important for a wedding photographer is their demeanor and professionalism. I was nervous (to say the least) before the ceremony and Ashley’s comforting energy and special spirit made me all the more grateful she was my wedding photographer.

    I have a huge family, and Ashley wrangled them all effortlessly. I’ve never seen a photographer handle my family so well! My entire family and wedding party loved her and have raved about her work.

    I recommend Ashley so very highly. She remains calm in the chaos, is efficient, patient, gracious, and is wildly-talented. She is truly an artist, and will go above and beyond for you!

    Ashley Cox did an amazing job as my wedding photographer!

    I would highly recommend Ashley Cox Photography! I just received my wedding photos, and I am blown away. She captured each moment beautifully, and I can't wait to hang them on my wall and send them to family and friends. Ashley is also a joy to work with! I asked her tons of random wedding questions, because I was new to the wedding planning process, and she always answered me right away. On the day of, everyone loved getting to know Ashley. I am so glad she was a part of my wedding day, and I will cherish her photographs for a long time.

    Ashley is incredible.

    Do yourself a favor and hire Ashley for your wedding, event, family photos, etc. - she is absolutely AMAZING!! We hired her for our June wedding and it was the best money we spent, hands down. Everything from coordinating our engagement shoot to planning the shots we wanted at the wedding was seamless. Ashley is not just a wedding photographer; she is a true artist and has an incredible talent for styling shoots on the fly, troubleshooting in challenging environments, and making everyone feel SO comfortable. One of my main concerns with our photos was that we would look stiff - with Ashley that was not an issue. She had us laughing and feeling so relaxed from the very beginning. On our wedding day, Ashley was extremely efficient and worked around our desire to have the first look at the ceremony, while also somehow getting all the shots we wanted plus a lot more. We even made the last 15 minutes of our cocktail party! The photos are art-quality, timeless, and everything we hoped they would be - she captured the day exactly as we remembered it, even the crazy-packed dance floor! I really cannot recommend Ashley enough, we will absolutely be using her again in the future!!

    Phenomenal experience with this absolutely wonderful photographer!

    I got married 2 months ago, and my husband and entire family simply cannot say enough amazing things about Ashley! We first met her during our engagement shoot about one year before our wedding, and she was just the kindest, most fun person to work with. We instantly felt so comfortable with her, and we absolutely loved our engagement pictures. She stayed in touch with us and answered all our questions in the months leading up to our wedding. On our wedding day, we were both so excited to see her again. You can tell that she truly is passionate about her work and puts her whole heart into every single wedding. She made us feel so special all day, and we had a fantastic time taking pictures together. When our wedding photos came back, we just could not stop smiling looking through them. I still can't stop looking at them! They are so incredibly special. She captured our most magical day perfectly - seeing each other for the first time during our first look, the expression on my dad's face when he saw me in my wedding dress, gorgeous pictures of our ceremony with the Blue Ridge backdrop, beautiful family portraits, the pure joy on our faces during our first dance, and the fun everyone had during our reception. We, along with our families, will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives. Thank you Ashley for capturing my most favorite memories so beautifully!

    Real, candid shots of Indian-American wedding - we loved!

    Ashley was incredible to work with for our Indian-American wedding! She captured exactly what we wanted - candid, natural shots - while also recognizing and picking up the symbolic moments to our Indian wedding (as well as pre-wedding festivities). She was really responsive to all of our questions throughout the entire process. We could't recommend her more!

    Ashley Cox Photography is Amazing!

    We were blown away by the quality of our wedding photographs that we received from Ashley. Ashley photographed our wedding on 12/1/18 and the quality AND quantity of photographs that we received was absolutely amazing. Opening my photos was like Christmas morning all over again, but better! Ashley captured all of the most memorable moments of my wedding and more. I highly recommend Ashley Cox Photography as her romantic, unique style truly creates some of the most beautiful photos I've ever seen.

    We love Ashley!

    We had the complete pleasure of working with Ashley. We could not be happier with how our engagement and wedding photographs turned out! We spent several months searching for our photographer because it was so important to us to find someone we trusted to preserve our wedding day for a lifetime. Once we started talking with Ashley, it was clear how passionate she is and how much she truly cares about her clients. From the beginning through to the end, Ashley offered endless support, advice, and guidance.
    Ashley captured the magic of our wedding day perfectly! She listened to our ideas and captured everything we wanted and more. Looking at the photographs instantly brings us back to that moment, and we are forever grateful for Ashley’s beautiful work.

    Amazing wedding photographer!

    Ashley was recommended to us by our venue, and I knew from my first phone call with her that I wanted her to be our photographer. Not only was her portfolio incredible (it truly speaks for itself), but I really appreciated the way she approached the conversation. She took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for and worked with us to come up with a package that was best for us. When we met her in person for the first time during our engagement shoot, she instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was so much fun to work with. We felt the same during our actual wedding day, too. Ashley is truly an artist and it shows in all of the photos that she takes. We will treasure the beautiful photos from our wedding forever. We feel so lucky that we were able to have her be part of our special day and highly recommend her!

    House Mountain Inn Wedding

    When researching photographers for our wedding, Ashley was quickly my top choice just based on her photos. After contacting her to see about cost and availability, she was kind and genuine and willing to work with us to get a package that was right for us. We live in the Baltimore area but loved the beauty of the House Mountain Inn. She worked with us to create a package that did not include engagement pictures but instead included something else.

    When our wedding day came, it poured all afternoon.  Ashley was very flexible and calm through the hectic prewedding pictures. She moved up our first look so that we could get some pictures before the rain started. Luckily, our venue had a huge porch, and we were still able to get beautiful pictures despite the rain. I would recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a kind and quality photographer.

    We chose Ashley to photograph our wedding and could not be happier with our experience. From our first phone call, we felt so confident in Ashley's ability and portfolio that we didn't even interview any other photographers. Ashley was so easy to work with at every phase of the planning process and even helped us solidify our day-of timeline to ensure she got every shot we wanted. On the day-of, Ashley and her assistant were on time, professional, and so calm despite the last minute ceremony changes due to inclement weather. She is so talented and directed the photos so well, which helped us feel comfortable and natural posing. We got our photos back SO fast, and every single one is beautiful. We cannot recommend Ashley enough and are already planning to have her shoot our headshots soon.

    Beautiful photos, great to work with

    Ashley is a really sweet lovely person. We were a little nervous about having our engagement photos taken, but she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Our wedding had a sort of organic, overgrown woodland magic theme, and Ashely completely saw our vision and showcased all the design elements we were really proud of. But more importantly, she took soooo many amazing photos that captured the feeling of the day and the emotions we were all going through. We didn't have a videographer and honestly didn't need one because we have so many photos. I've had many many compliments on my wedding photos and how professional and high quality they are.

    We were thrilled that we chose Ashley to be our wedding photographer. Not only is she immensely talented, but she was fun to be with and brought a fantastic energy to each moment. She truly knows how to find and capture natural light to make each photo magical. We would highly recommend her to anyone!
