    Absolutely Amazing

    Ashley was a joy to work with on our wedding day. She was prepared for whatever weather present itself on that day. It was slightly rainy and somewhat gloomy with rainbows and crashing waves. She was able to catch it all with her talented eyes. I would choose Ashley over and over again. You won't be disappointed.

    Amazing experience!

    Ashley is such an incredible photographer! We had her take our engagement pictures in Kauai and when it rained, she had a backup plan already in place and we were able to take pictures by a waterfall. She made me and my fiancé extremely comfortable & our pictures turned out better than we could've ever imagined. She is also very responsive and fast! I highly recommend her!

    Ashley Valera

    Ashley was so sweet and professional during our session. We had a 7 month old, 3 year old and lots of adults and she wrangled everyone to get some great shots.
    Very happy with our final product!

    Great experience!

    We hired Ashley to complete our family photos and they turned out great! She was professional, kind, and punctual (for emails and on the day). She helped my husband and I and our three young adult children feel relaxed for our photos. Ashley took a variety of poses and utilized different backgrounds (greenery and the ocean) at Hanalei. At the end, she asked us if there were any other poses we would like. Within the 2-week timeframe, she provided us a gallery of all the pictures she took. We had a great experience with her!

    Wonderful Photographer on Kauai

    Ashley photographed our 20th anniversary celebration and she was fabulous! She asked lots of questions beforehand to ensure that she captured those important memories just as we would like. She arrived early and was also very responsive in terms of emails and texts. Her photos were thoughtful, fun, and beautiful! She made sure to take extra shots of the large group when we had a few blinkers. She framed the outdoor scenery well, both during and after the rain, and also captured the natural expressions of our family. She was patient as we waited for some rain to clear and even lingered longer than expected to see if we might be able to capture a guest who had an unexpected situation come up. We loved the final images! I highly recommend Ashley. She was a pleasure to work with (sweet, easy-going, fun) and her photos were exactly what we had hoped for.

    Photoshoot

    Ashley was our photographer for our family photoshoot in Kauai and we could not be more happy with her! She is so talented and wonderful to work with. She put us at ease including our camera shy 4 year old. The photos turned out great and it captured the beautiful moments we had at Hanalei Bay.

    Beautiful, magical wedding photos... MAHALO, Ashley!

    Ashley is an absolute gem. Not only is she an incredibly creative and talented photographer, but she is also one of the sweetest and most thoughtful people you’ll meet. My husband and I had the best time taking photos with her at our wedding. She made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. She is also a great listener and problem solver, which is exactly what a bride or groom needs on their special day! If you're first-time visitors like we were, she knows the best spots to capture the magic of Kauai. When she sent me our photos, I gasped. I never imagined I’d have such GORGEOUS shots! I can’t stop looking at them!!! I’ve had so many compliments from friends and family. I HIGHLY recommend her. Mahalo, Ashley!!!

    Engagement Photos with Ashley Valera

    Ashley did a wonderful job at easing our nervousness and talking us through the entire engagement photo session. She was very kind and professional. I appreciate how she took her time to work out little details and did not rush to get the photo session done. I highly recommend her and plan to work with her in the future!

    Ashley was so much fun

    First off, we were really nervous and felt self conscience about having our pictures taken. Within a few minutes she made us feel super comfortable and even showed us a few sneak peaks on the back of her camera. Which was super cool and gave us confidence the rest of the day.

    Perfect proposal

    I hired ashley to capture and help me plan my wedding proposal. She was quick to respond and very helpful. I'd never been to Kaua'i so it was really the way she helped me. Plus my fiance is crazy for our photos. We will be hiring Ashley again in the future for sure!
