Book Ashley, you won’t regret it! She is AMAZING!
We LOVE Ashley and her photography! Book her now while you can!
When choosing a photographer, you want to choose someone that you’ll be comfortable with, and can be yourself around. Ashley had a super calming presence that made it easy for my husband and I to take pictures with her - she’s super funny, super sweet, and provides you with great directions on poses & what to do. Not only did Ashley do our engagement session, but she did our wedding pictures too! I loved Ashley's work from the beginning, before we even booked with her. Having pictures done by her solidifies every reason why we chose her - she is an amazing artist, is super fun to be around, made taking pictures FUN, and she captures it ALL. When on the job, she’s incredibly thorough with her work - we asked for a variety of combinations of pictures with our wedding party and families, she was super efficient with her process. Within 48 hours, she had sneak peeks turned around to us and it is more than we could've ever asked for. She captured every emotion, and took the most amazing, beautiful pictures of memories that will last a lifetime.
We will absolutely choose Ashley again and again and again for milestones & memories to come!🤍 -

Mike Sent on 12/11/2022Words fall short when describing Ashley and her talent!
Wow. We don’t even know where to start. Anyone who has had Ashley photograph them knows how incredibly talented she is, but it’s goes even deeper than that. She’s one of the kindest people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting, and is truly an angel on earth. Her many gifts include: catching every detail and emotion effortlessly, being patient and trustworthy, being organized and professional, having a great sense of humor and being able to put you at ease when you’re nervous, being a huge support/hype girl for whoever she’s capturing in her photos, and having a personality and energy that lights up an entire room! From the first FaceTime meeting, talking about our love for our dogs, and chatting like we had known one another forever… we knew right away that we would feel just as comfortable and natural with her capturing our big day (already with no regrets and complete faith in her)! I wish we could put into words how STUNNING our photos came out, but words could never do them justice. I also wish we could write all the words to fully express how amazing Ashley is as a photographer and a person, but we’d be writing this review forever (words will never be enough). Our bridal party and family even made comments afterwards stating how friendly and fun Ashley was while photographing us all, and how we made a great choice by choosing her to be our photographer. Ashley, thank you for capturing our wedding day (and our love) SO perfectly. Hiring you was one of the best decisions we have ever made, and our gratitude for all you have done is endless. You mean the absolute world to us!! You are ridiculously talented and everyone should know it! So whoever’s reading this review and is considering booking Ashley… don’t walk, RUN, and book her as fast as you can! We can say from the bottom of our hearts that you won’t regret it, and you will end up with perfect photos that will let you cherish and relive those moments over and over again, forever. -

Sarah Sent on 12/02/2022Book Ashley immediately - you won’t regret it!
What isn’t there to say about Ashley?! Not only is she unbelievably talented (proof is in all her amazing photos) but she will also be your biggest hype girl leading up to and throughout your wedding day. She made us so comfortable during engagement pics and brought a portable speaker to break the silence while coaching us how to be photographed. She was the first person, not vendor, person to text me wedding morning and got the excitement flowing. The number of *perfect* sneak peeks she delivered to us just days after our wedding was nothing short of remarkable. We are so thankful to have worked with her and have her capture our day and would do it 1 million times again. Can’t wait to work with her again in the future for our other life events!
Love,
Sarah & Ian -

The best of the best!!!!
Ashley shot our intimate elopement in May 2022 and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our day. Not only is she extremely talented, but she is so easy to work with and made us feel totally relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. She is very organized, communicative, and professional which made trusting her to be our photographer incredibly easy! Every time we look at our gallery, we find new “favorites” and feel like Ashley truly captured us as a couple. We can’t wait to work with Ashley to capture our future life milestones. We 1000% recommend working with Ashley - she’s the best of the best!!!! -

Amazing experience!
You have to book Ashley! My wife, Courtney, and I got married last weekend after a long engagement and postponement and Ashley made that decision so worth it! She captured our day exactly how we wanted it. She made everyone feel so comfortable with her easygoing and kind nature. Everyone in our bridal party could not stop raving about how great and organized she was! She was so responsive to our needs and was sure we got all the pictures in that we wanted and still gave us time to eat mac and cheese at our cocktail hour :) We received our sneak peaks in record time and they are beautiful! We know the rest of the album will be stunning. We could not stop looking at them for days. We know who we are calling the next time we need an important memory captured! -

We are so grateful for Ashely!
If you are looking for a photographer book Ashley now!!!!! This was the best decision and money I have ever spent! Ashely is literally an earth angel. I found Ashley on instagram, fell in love with her portfolio, then took a leap of faith and reached out to her. After our first phone call I knew she was the right person for us. She was extremely knowledgable in her craft, listened to our every thought and concern. I loved how responsive, flexible and thoughtful she was with all our questions. This was all before she even took a photo. We first took our engagement photos with her during a heat wave. We left thinking there couldn't have been one good photo. When we got our photos back we were blown away. It made us even more excited to work with her for our wedding. Just like our engagement photos its impossible to pick a favorite from our wedding. I tell everyone I can about Ashely and I hope to use her again in the future!! -

Stunning photos by an amazing photographer
Choosing Ashley to be our photographer was one of the best wedding decisions my husband and I made. We postponed our wedding due to Covid and our original photographer had to cancel on us. In the search for a replacement I came across Ashley's website and reached out to her in a panic, and as luck would have it she was able to squeeze us in! Ashley has a fantastic personality and after our first phone conversation I felt so reassured and reenergized about our wedding plans. She's incredibly kind, responsive, organized and capable - I don't know how she manages to juggle such a demanding business while making each one of her couples feel so special, but she makes it look easy! Above all, this experience taught me that everything happens for a reason, because I truly could not imagine anyone else capturing our day more perfectly. She quickly (seriously, lightning-fast) turned around a SPECTACULAR wedding photo gallery, including tons of sneak peeks along the way. I am in awe of her talent and still can't believe the photos are of US and that we get to keep them forever! :) She was so efficient on our wedding day and kept us on track, but balanced that with a fun, laid-back energy that you can see reflected in our faces in the final photos. If you're considering hiring Ashley, do it! I cannot recommend her enough. -

Please, PLEASE, save some time, stop your search, and take this as your sign to book Ashley. There are not the right words to describe my husband and I’s gratitude for all of the hard work and effort she put into making our day special. From our very first meeting, she was personable, informative and most importantly, genuinely interested in finding out what we pictured and wanted out of our day. She puts type A brides at ease and makes photos bearable for husbands who don’t like their picture taken. She is organized beyond belief, honors timelines, and more than anything, is the most supportive and uplifting presence during all aspects of the day. Her photos are breathtaking and she has a true gift of capturing raw emotion. Looking through our gallery was truly such a treat, as there were so many moments that we either didn’t witness or had forgotten about! This woman cares deeply about her couples and puts everything she has into making the most of wedding days. Booking her was the easiest and best decision of our entire planning process- so don’t wait! -

Alyssa Sent on 10/28/2021Do not hesitate another moment to book Ashley!
Wow, where do I even begin writing about Ashley? After speaking with a million photographers, from the moment we met her, we knew she was going to be the one. We had such an incredible feeling about her after meeting her that we booked right away without hesitation and we are SO glad that we did.
I cared deeply about who my wedding photographer was going to be for so many reasons, but the biggest one being that I wanted to like who I was spending my day with. After all, besides your spouse, your photographer is who you spend the majority of your wedding day with! We felt like we were spending the day with a close friend that we had known forever. She put us at ease, and was so incredibly sweet and made us feel so special, beautiful, and happy.
To top it off, Ashley took on many roles the day of the wedding besides photographer. At times she acted as a day of coordinator, and spoke with my different vendors and made sure everything tied together seamlessly. From the bottom of my heart, I don't think the wedding would have been as beautiful and perfect without her!
Ashley sent over TONS of sneak peak photos within days of the wedding. Everyone could not stop raving about how incredible the pictures came out. They are just perfect.
If you are thinking about booking Ashley, don't hesitate another minute! We hope Ashley can take photos of our family for years to come! -

Lindsey Sent on 10/26/2021My wedding fairy godmother!
*Wipes away happy tears before starting. I don't even know where to start with Ashley... and I also don't know if there are enough words in the English language to explain how thankful I am that Ashley was able to be our photographer for not only our wedding day but also our engagement shoot. Leading up to our wedding I had so many people tell me "don't look at yourself on the day of your wedding. You will be perfect regardless etc. etc.". That to me seemed odd but being my first time being a bride I listened. I felt beautiful and I think that was the point. If YOU as the bride feel beautiful then that's all that matters. They were right, it did take some of the pressure off and my husband and I had THE MOST magical perfect wedding day. Fast forward not even 24 hours and we got to see some photos from our day... Let me remind you.. I had not a clue what I actually looked like on my wedding day, had seen zero photos, and to wake up and have the photos Ashley captured of not only me but my husband and the venue be the first photos I see... was an indescribable feeling. They were STUNNING. Now there is no doubt that Ashley was professional, talented and made the entire process leading up to this day so incredibly smooth and stress-free but what meant everything to both me and my husband was that she made us feel like our entire wedding was the world. I know she was juggling so many other things but could have fooled me. When she was in it with us she was in it and there is nothing better than having someone be just as excited for your big day as you are! We were so lucky to be able to have Ashely as part of our day and if we were going to do it all over again there would be zero question that I would do whatever it took to have Ashley be the person to make our day live on in photos. -

The best!
Ashley is truly an angel. My husband and I hired Ashley for our July 2021 wedding and she was there every step of the way. An engagement session was included in our customized wedding package - I would highly recommend one if you haven't gotten professional photos done in a while. Ashley is your personal hype women for the day. She make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and tells you exactly what to do to get the best shots. She has a way of making you feel like the most important people in the world and forget that there are actually people around you. Her photos are STUNNING to say the least. Ashley got our engagement sneaks back to us the same night(!!) and our wedding sneaks 2 days later!! The full galleries had us speechless. We cannot wait to work with Ashley again in the future!

Amazing!
Ashley was great, my wife hired her for our engagement pictures and our wedding. I'm not a huge picture guy but she made me look like a model, so simply put she was fantastic. My wife and I are extremely happy with every single picture. Great communication and she makes you feel very comfortable. She comes highly recommended. -

I literally cannot pick which pictures are my favorites because there all sooo incredible! She was our first vendor we booked and I would HIGHLY recommended her for any occasion! I knew we were in great hands, especially doing a destination wedding she was so helpful and responsive!! We literally cannot thank her enough for capturing our love! -

Jasmine Sent on 12/28/2020Hire Ashley! You won't be disappointed!
From the time we chatted with Ashley on the phone to when we received our digital images, Ashley was a perfect fit for our same-sex, Newport, COVID-19 wedding. She was flexible with us with changes based on COVID, our venue, multiple stops for the day of our wedding, and even arrived ready right after her own honeymoon! Ashley is talented, fun, and made our day even more special. She provided direction, was honest, and on time! Ashley didn't just capture really breathtaking photos; she captured moments to create memories for us that will last a lifetime. If you are worried about the investment, don't be. We spend money on silly things all the time, right? It's called an investment for a reason. The turn around time for some sneak peek photos and all of the digital images was quick and the online platform she used made it easy to view, download, and share with our loved ones. Ashley is professional, detail-oriented, and would recommend her to ANYONE. We can't thank her enough. -

well as engagement photos in the midst of COVID confusions. She was able to work with us and help make adjustments to plans as COVID regulations continued to change. She made us feel so at ease from the second we met her and genuinely was so much fun to hangout with. She has a way of capturing a couple or a day in an authentic genuine that leaves not a single detail or moment undocumented. Every single photo had my husband and I (not to mention our friends and family) crying literal tears at the beauty of her work. In addition, Ashley drove 3 hours from her home to our venue and ended up getting home very late. By the time my husband and I were awake on the day after our wedding she already had some sneak peaks in our inbox, this just shows the level of dedication toward her clients. We are so fortunate to now have Ashley as a wonderfully talented friend and will absolutely be using her in the future. Our photos came out so breathtaking and we will cherish them forever. Ashley, thank you for your incredibly heart and amazing talent. We literally cannot express enough how much we love and appreciate you and your gift of photography. -

Ashley was referred to me by another photographer who I originally planned on booking for when I planned on getting married. They say everything happens for a reason....and I believe that happened with Ashley and I! Ashley was very responsive from the first time I reached out and very organized. We schedule an engagement shoot which we never really planned on doing but Ashley insisted. I'm glad she did, I would absolutely recommend couple choose to do engagement photos! It was a great way to meet your photographer and get to know them. Plus it give you an idea on how to pose or not to pose for the day of the wedding! Both my husband and I agreed that the engagement shoot was a must do! Then came the wedding. Our sneak peaks were better than we could ever have imagined. We knew they would be good based off of the engagement pictures but seeing our day memorialized in gorgeous photos is something none of our guests or other vendors could give us. Ashely took our breath away. Her lighting, and the details she captured were stunning. She made us feel at ease and wanted to have fun with us! Choose Ashley to capture one of the most important days of your life! -

Ashley was so wonderful to work with! From the moment we booked her as our wedding photographer we knew we made a great investment; she was responsive, supportive, and stuck with us though all the craziness of Covid-19. We ended up having a small elopement rather than a big wedding due to the circumstances, but she capture the day perfectly and made it feel so special! We still gush over the photos all the time. I can't recommend this sweet, talented lady enough!! -

Ashley is incredible!!
Ashley is hands down one of the most incredible photographers (and people) I have had the pleasure of working with. We hired Ashley in August 2019 to do our engagement photos and photograph our August 2020 wedding. Although there were some COVID-19 related hiccups along the way, Ashley solved each issue we had in a timely manner, leaving me completely stress free! As soon as we got our sneak peek wedding photos, I was obsessed with her editing magic. We were delivered so many incredible photos, I cannot even narrow them down to order prints. Even though our wedding was over a month ago, I can't stop looking at our photos!! We cannot wait to use Ashley again in the future and can not recommend her enough. You MUST use her for your wedding!! -

I've known Ashley for a few years now so having her as our photographer was one of the easiest decisions my fiance and I have made so far. She is so flexible, especially with all of my over the top ideas. I love getting to work with her to create something magical. Not only is she extremely professional, but she also knows how to get you to let loose and enjoy your time. While we haven't had our wedding yet we have already done some engagement photos as well as a photo shoot before we were engaged. I would highly recommend Ashley for any occasion!! -

Ashley is not only a talented photographer but also super friendly and down to earth. She was very responsive from the moment we contacted her and took the time to get to know us, which was really important to us in choosing our wedding photographer. We had to reschedule our engagement session twice due to rain but Ashley was so flexible and accommodating. When we had the chance to have our session (third time was a charm!), Ashley made both of us feel comfortable and had creative ideas for our photos. We are so happy with the way our photos came out and are excited to send out our save the dates soon! We can't wait to have Ashley capture our wedding day next year! -

Ashely is An amazing photographer and human! From the beginning she was sweet, kind, and very profesional. She always made time to chat with me and answer any questions I had about our pictures. She let us know for sure we were her priority, and that her desire was to make us happy, and that was so reassuring. Day of Ashely and her second photographer delivered!! They were early and got amazing shots of our wedding day. Honestly the pictures are what I am most grateful for after the turn out of our wedding, every photograph really captured the feelings that were felt that day it’s been almost two months since my wedding day, and every single day I look at my pictures, and I am just amazed at how beautiful they turned out. My husband and mother feel exactly the same way they loved the pictures so much, and my mom also looks at them daily. For my wedding we had three different ceremonies, and Ashley captured each individual feel and moment in a very special way! For our first day as a married couple we received an email from Ashely with a sneak peak of our wedding day, helping us relive the day before and it was so wonderful. After receiving all of the pictures we were able to remember so many things we did not remember had happened, we got to share them with loved ones who also enjoyed seeing beautiful pictures of themselves enjoying life. I will add that her photography website is super organized, prices are displayed accurately, everything was very clear. Then upon receiving all of our pictures everything was in a perfect order making it very easy to find everything. I will for sure always use Ashley for any future special pictures we need to take in the future. She is so flexible and willing to travel. I am grateful to have met her and establish a new friendship, she is beyond thoughtful and caring. We appreciate her authenticity!!! -

Excellent photographer
Ashley is amazing!! She was the first photographer we met with and we knew right away she was the one for us! She has such a lovely personality.
We had a sunrise engagement at Nantasket beach and she was just great. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera.
We love our photos and get compliments on how great they are.
We cannot wait to see the amazing photos Ashley takes from our 2020 wedding.
I cannot say enough good things about her. You cannot go wrong picking her to photograph your special moments. -

From the minute we started talking to Ashley, she was incredibly sweet and fun. During the engagement session we scheduled with her, she put as at ease and made the whole experience enjoyable- playing upbeat music and telling jokes while also getting to know who we are. Her prompts for us made us laugh and the usual dread involved with taking photos was completely whiped away. She also has an incredible eye for how to frame pictures and utilize natural light- which I love. She also clearly has a good eye for editing. The photos are absolutely stunning. Ashley delivered the pictures quickly and went above and beyond what we expected. Thank you, Ashley!! -

Beautiful engagement photos by an amazing photographer!
We had our engagement photos done by Ashley who was wonderful from the first email to when we received our photos! Unfortunately, we had to reschedule the first time due to weather but she was definitely helpful in suggesting cute ideas if the rain was light and she was flexible when rescheduling. During the session, she made sure we felt comfortable and nearly headed into traffic to capture some of the shots! We saw sneak peeks within a few days and received photos pretty quickly too!
Overall, she did an amazing job! We love our photos and can't say enough good things about our experience! -

Wonderful engagement shoot experience!!
We were going back and forth on whether we wanted to get an engagement photoshoot done, and we were sooo happy that we did! Ashley was very professional, super sweet, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She had some funny tricks to make us laugh and smile naturally. We were amazed with how quickly Ashley gave us back all our photos, and especially impressed how beautiful our photos turned out!! We have used the photos on our Save The Date cards, our wedding website, and will likely have them scattered around our wedding. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a photographer with a natural eye for beautiful shots and someone who will go above and beyond for their clients. -

Ashley is so so wonderful! Her photos are simply stunning (my jaw dropped when she sent the final photos) and she made us feel so comfortable throughout the process. She took our engagement photos at the cherry blossoms in DC and somehow managed to capture so many moments without the crowds of tourists (she's magic)! -
