    Wedding photos

    Ashley was a joy to have at our wedding and took beautiful pictures. We needed a photographer last minute and she was gracious enough to reach out to us and offer her services.

    Professionalism at its best!

    We both loved working with Ashley! She did both our engagement shoot and wedding/reception in Minot, ND. All the pictures turned out better than we imagined! She kept everything relaxed and easy-going but professional. Our pictures were delivered in a timely fashion. Not only is Ashley great at photography, she’s just a sweet person in general. We’d love to book Ashley again for any future photography needs.

    Absolutely Amazing!!

    From the first time my husband and I spoke with Ashley we knew we would love her. She is the sweetest, kindest, and all around awesome person. My husband and I get so awkward with pictures of ourselves and for both the engagement and wedding weekend pictures she made us feel (and look!) like a million bucks. She also feels like she’s part of the family, laughing, having a good time with you along the way. And her turn around time for the stunning photos was quick! I wish I could have my wedding all over again just to hang out with her!

    Ashley is amazing!

    She did our engagement shoot and our wedding. She is so amazing and easy to work with and has a good eye for what looks good. She was with us our whole wedding day and got all of the shots i wanted and more!

    She got our photos to us so quickly for both sets of photos and they are all so beautiful and professional. If you’re looking for a photographer for any occasion look no further!

    Wedding photographer and beyond!

    I feel blessed to have found Ashley through my wedding planner. Ashley has captured our biggest life events - engagement, wedding, maternity, and family! She has traveled to us and we have traveled to her. There were scheduling/weather issues that we worked around easily. Working with Ashley has been so easy, she's a joy to be around, and thinks on her feet in new locations. We have fun during shoots together, too! She will do whatever it takes to get the perfect shot. She was eaten by mosquitoes at our engagement shoot, sweating at our wedding, freezing at our maternity shoot, and rolling in the sand, chasing my infant for our family shoot. Can't ask for much more than that! If you're on the fence, book it!!

    Amazing photographer

    Ashley did an amazing job photographing our wedding day! She used what we had available around our home to make sure our photos had great backgrounds and lighting! She was on time, always responded fast, and I am truly pleased with the photos I received!

    Awesome Experience :)

    Ashley was very friendly and such a sweet person to work with. My daughter had a small low budget wedding but the quality of Ashley's pictures made it look like she had a big money & high dollar wedding day. The pictures she took at Fort Monroe, VA were stunning!

    Absolutely Phenomenal!

    I stumbled upon Ashley's portfolio while looking for an affordable photographer to do my engagement photos. Even though my then-fiance and I had never taken professional pictures before, Ashley made us feel incredibly relaxed and got the most amazing pictures of the two of us. We loved her so much that we asked her to photograph our intimate wedding ceremony a few months later! Ashley got both our engagement photos and wedding photos (complete with family portraits!) back to us in about a week after our events. She even mailed us a beautiful thumb drive with all our pictures to ensure that we really could keep them forever. She's sweet, professional, and so easy to work with - she even rescheduled our engagement pictures last minute due to a family emergency. Her pictures are gorgeous, and she's got an incredible talent for capturing beautiful moments all without breaking the bank! If you're reading this - look no further for your photographer and contact Ashley!!!

    Kind, pliant, and professional

    Mrs. Vanley was very polite, and always had a smile on her face. Thankfully the weather was great and what made it better is she knew exactly the perfect places to take pictures. She was very pliant considering all the caos around. Gave a lot of guidance if you’re uncertain of what to do in photos. 10/10 recommend.

    Amazing Photos

    Ashley is very professional, she has a passion for photography which shows in her photos. She is very easy to work with because she cares and wants her clients to have the best experience. I was honored and blessed to have my daughter take by wedding photos. I love the pictures and will cherish the memories.

    My wife and I cannot express how amazing Ashley was to work with. She had a wonderful way of staying in the background through out our wedding and reception yet still being in the right position to take amazing photos. When it came time to take portraits she was great at directing us and making us look much more elegant than we have a tendency to be. After the big day she had our edited photos back to us faster than expected considering she was with us for 8 hours and took so many pictures. She was a big part of making our wedding day as magical as it should be and now we will have gorgeous pictures to enjoy for the rest of our lives.

    Ashley Vanley Photography helped to create a wedding we will never forget! It's been a year since our wedding and Ashley was there to document every step of the way. I reached out to Ashley because her photos captured the beautiful natural settings and the happiness of the day, everything you want from your wedding! Ashley was so attentive, working around our busy schedule to take our initial calls and understand our needs, how big our wedding was projected to be, the day and time of everything. On the day of, Ashley and her husband (the cutest couple ever!!) showed up early to document every step - getting ready, the first look, all the groomsmen, the wedding party joking around- she even managed to coral all of us to get those group shots! She did a phenomenal job and we have the proof to last us for ever. We are so grateful Ashley was there to document our day! Thank you for making it such a memorable one!

    Hire ashley!

    My husband hired Ashley to secretly capture our proposal on the beach. It was one of the best decisions he has ever made! I look at those photos very frequently and I am so glad we have professional photos from that special moment when I said "yes". After the proposal, Ashley did some engagement photos of us on the beach and she was such a pleasure to work with! I've kept up with her ever since. Ashley will not only do a fantastic job on your photos, she will also become a good friend. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

    I booked Ashley after I spent hours and days trying to locate a photographer for my wedding in 2016. I came across Ashley's pictures and had to make her my photographer for one of the most important days of my life. I reached out to her and she responded right away. She even directed me to her youtube videos. I have to say, what a brilliant way to reach clients all over the world. As soon as her video started I knew, that even though I couldn't meet her in person, because I was planning a wedding from PA to occur in SC, that her style and personality was perfect for what we were looking for. Ashley taught me the names of the styles and types of pictures I like. She has this pure love of what she does and I cannot wait to spend the day with her. With such a personal experience, and I'm excited to have someone fun and clearly very talented at my wedding. I know that all of my guests, bridal party and myself will be in great hands...Now I just can't wait for the wedding and then the pictures!

    **Update** Ashley and her Aaron arrived on my wedding day on time and with smiles. I knew it was going to be a good day. Ashley and Aaron were so easy going and accommodating. They were everywhere all day! She helped direct how to take the pictures and was very helpful in getting the best shots. I got the flash drives with my photos within 3 weeks of my wedding and sneak peaks on facebook and a blog link in what felt like right after my wedding. The pictures are stunning. Ashley captures moments in photographs that emit the emotions felt on such an important day. What a talent and something I will appreciate forever. The moments between family and friends were captured for us to have and show our own family one day. What a gift. I recommend Ashley and Aaron to any bride or for any event. Know you will be in the best hands!

    Outstanding

    From her contagious smile to her relaxed personality, Ashley was a pleasure to work with. From the moment you meet her there is no doubt she is passionate about her work. The pictures from my daughter’s wedding were breathtaking. She did a wonderful job capturing that day. I highly recommend her!

    Ashley and her husband were absolutely wonderful to work with. They picked the perfect areas to take pictures and took advantage of the indoor areas while it was raining. We received our pictures very quickly which I am so thankful for.
