    Amazing Photographers!

    Ashley and Bill are your dream team wedding photographers!!! Photography was my number 1 priority and I did a LOT of research of practically every photographer in the raleigh area. I already loved Bow Tie’s photos from their portfolio but as soon as I talked to Ashley on the phone I knew I had to lock them down. Ashley is very personable, experienced, and very type A with photography which is WHAT YOU WANT! My father in law actually asked if she used to be a military commander because only Ashley could whip our groomsmen into poses so we could get some good photos of them 🤣 if you don’t know how to pose, don’t you worry, Ashley will guide you through all the best poses so you don’t look awkward! Oh and did I mention we got our entire wedding album in about TWO WEEKS?! Highly highly recommend!!

    Absolutely Amazing

    Where do I even start??? If you're thinking of booking Ashley and Bill for your wedding, absolutely do it!! Ashley has such an incredible talent for making you feel like you've known her for your entire life. She also tells you exactly what you need to do, where to stand, everything, to capture some AMAZING photos!!! I also felt completely at ease knowing that she would be one of the most important people "running" the wedding day - she kept us on time and having fun the entire day! We just got preview pictures back and they are breathtaking - can't wait for the full gallery! Ashley and Bill, you are an amazing team and I would recommend you to anyone!!!

    The. Best. Ever.

    Ashley and Bill are the best dynamic duo! They play off each other perfectly and have so much talent together. Ashley and bill are so easy to talk to, be around, and feel comfortable with. I started following them both on Instagram prior to getting engaged and love every wedding they shoot!

    I never thought I could “pose” or look natural in photos but when we got our engagement album back, we were blown away. The wedding album was just the same and out of this world. The colors, the lighting, the angles... it’s all perfect and hard to even put into words. All of our friends and family are completely in awe at the photos from our special day and we now have beautiful memories to last a lifetime.
    Ashley is incredibly responsive and helpful with every aspect of your special day, too. She helped me with things that were not her responsibility. Highly recommend and can’t say enough good things about Bow Tie!

    Thankful We Found Them!

    After losing our original photographer due to our pandemic postponements, Bow Tie was so easy to work with when putting things together on a short timeline. Ashley and Bill were great throughout the process -- catching up quickly, working with us to meet our budget, and planning our schedule all in a matter of weeks. They were even flexible with some last-minute changes we made! So happy with the photos we got and the experience we had working with them. Would absolutely recommend!

    Hire Bow Tie Collaborative Right Away!!

    My husband and I got married last weekend at the Merrimon-Wynne House and are so impressed by our photos taken by and Ashley and Bill. They are truly amazing at what they do. I knew after seeing pictures from a friend's wedding that we had to have Bow Tie as our photographers! We are beyond happy with this decision. We hired Ashley and Bill for 8 hours on our wedding day. Ashley and Bill made every picture meaningful and captured the special, little details of our big day. Ashley even helped secure my veil in my hair and made sure it did not get stuck in the turf outside when I was to walk down the aisle. Hire Bow Tie Collaborative!! They are a dream to work with, and you will be so happy!

    The best choice

    While researching wedding photographers, I came across Ashley and Bow Tie Collaborative and instantly fell in love with her dreamy and romantic style. When I met her and Bill in person at a vendor open house I was sold! They brought such an amazing energy for both our engagement and wedding photos. My husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera, but Ashley and Bill made us feel like pros! Ashley brings so much experience to the shoots that she organizes the picture timeline for the whole day, so everything runs extremely smoothly. We had an outdoor ceremony and it lightly rained most of the afternoon, but Ashley advised to still have the ceremony outside and we couldn’t be happier with the results! You can feel the love in all the shots. She also got shots of all the little details that as a bride I didn’t have a chance to see day of and now I have beautiful pictures to remember that day forever! I highly recommend Ashley (and Bill) for a worry and stress-free wedding day with all the love captured!

    The Absolute Best Photographer

    I cannot say enough good things about Ashley Maton with Bow Tie Collaborative. It was so important to me to choose the right photographer for our big day because the pictures are able to capture all the special moments that you can look back on for years to come. Ashley photographed our engagement pictures, my bridal portraits, and our wedding day and all the pictures were PERFECTION! Her work is just purely phenomenal. She is also the sweetest and easiest person to work with. Highly, highly recommend!

    Ashley and her husband Bill with Bow Tie Collaborative Photography photographed my wedding and were absolutely AMAZING!! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, friendly, experienced photographer. Ashley was so helpful from the initial meeting, all the way to the wedding and even after with answering all of my questions! She got my pictures back to me so quickly and they were all so beautiful and professionally edited! She is truly the best and I cannot wait to book with her again for my future photo needs!

    I honestly don't think we can put into words just how amazing Bow Tie Collaborative is. We came in as clients and left as friends. Ashley and Bill photographed our engagement and our wedding. If I could choose only one vendor to use over and over again it would be them. They are seriously worth their weight in gold. You get SO much more than just a photographer. They are two genuine and honest people who will seriously do ANYTHING to make your photographs and day perfect. Ashely helped me with things above and beyond photography. We can never express just how thankful we are for their experience, artistic eye, and just overall understanding and compassion for their clients. My advice is to choose Bow Tie Collaborative. The only regret you will have your big day is not choosing them.

    I met Ashley three years ago when I was the maid of honor in my college roommate's wedding. I'm the girl who often tries to slip away when the cameras come out and my husband is the guy who's usually over it by the third holiday picture. So when he proposed to me last year I knew I had to find a photographer that would not only make me feel comfortable, but that would be fun and keep him engaged. There was only one option - Ashley Green at Bow Tie Collaborative! Ashley was the first vendor and only photographer that I contacted! She's so fun and friendly - she can make anyone feel at ease. Ashley is also very supportive. She was there whenever I needed guidance, not only with photography, but also with suggestions and opinions about other wedding ideas. We received so many compliments on our pictures and our entire wedding party loved her. If you're looking for an awesome photographer, Ashley is your girl! Ashley was the most amazing photographer and a friend for life!

    I am so glad that I found Ashley to take my wedding pictures! I got married in October and had a two day wedding. Ashley was on time on both days - she was attentive, focused and took so many creative and beautiful shots to capture the essence of each day! She also provided the pictures on time and they are SOO BEAUTIFUL! Much more than I could of expected or asked for!

    Ashley took my vision and ran with it! I had been honest with her from the start that I was not her typical bride and had a few modern ideas and approaches that I wanted to incorporate into my day. She was extremely patient and helpful in talking through my ideas prior to the wedding weekend, helping me plan the details down to the best time for the ceremony and working with us to keep everyone moving efficiently on our wedding day. I'd also like to sing praises for the Bow Tie Team for their enthusiastic and kind demeanor to our entire family and wedding party. Ashley did an amazing job keeping everyone happy and moral high despite the mid July heat!

    I would highly recommend Ashley and the Bow Tie Team for any bride looking to add her personal touch. Not only did our pictures turn our beautiful, but they were a true reflection of our style and vision and we have Ashley to thank.

    Ashley did a wonderful job photographing our wedding! Our pictures came out better than I could have imagined! Ashley was so professional and I appreciated the amount of direction she gave to my husband and I while posing for photos. I also loved how natural the pictures looked....she really captured some great moments that we will cherish forever.

I highly recommend Bow Tie Collaborative for anyone who wants an AMAZING photographer! Ashley's work speaks for itself and her personality shines. I look forward to working with Ashley and her team in the future for all of my photography needs!

    Ashley did such a phenomenal job! My husband and I had her take our engagements photos, bridal portraits, and wedding photography. Ashley was always professional, and she was able to help us feel very comfortable in front of the camera (not an easy task). My husband is not a fan of photos, and she was able to make him actually say "Hey, that was kind of fun" after our engagement photos. Ashley took our ideas for the photos, and she made them into beautiful works of art. She always knew the best shot, and she has a great artistic eye for portraits. Ashley knows how to make people feel beautiful, and I highly recommend her and her team to help capture your special day.

    Ashley from Bow Tie Collaborative was a pleasure to work with as our wedding photographer! Even though we experienced some bad weather on our wedding day with high winds, Ashley remained calm and helped us remain calm throughout the day, and captured amazing pictures in the process! You would not even know that the weather was so bad. I really wanted a photographer that would be able to capture the details of our day so I could remember all the little things, and she did just that. Every detail was captured and I now have all of those memories. The pictures came out amazing and I can't wait to see the photo album that she is creating. I would highly recommend Ashley for your photographer needs!

    I couldn't be happier with my wedding photography experience thanks to Bow Tie Collaborative. Ashley was quick to respond to my initial email and during our meet and greet she was so helpful in answering all of our questions. I wanted a photographer that made me feel comfortable and could capture the love between my husband and I and Ashley exceeded my expectations on every level. Ashley makes you feel like you're getting your photos taken by your best friend. We had so much fun! The quality of the photographs from our engagement session and wedding day were above and beyond. Her eye for details and the perfect lighting made our photos pieces of art! Bow tie Collaborative provides an experience that is unmatched from beginning to end. I would highly recommend Bow tie Collaborative to every bride!

    Ashley is absolutely amazing, and so fun to work with! She takes SO much time pre-planning before the actual wedding day that I felt so confident everything would go as smooth as she said it would. She made our wedding day timeline, and totally coordinated throughout the entire day. She did so much more than just take photos of our wedding. She put in my veil, bustled my dress, pinned boutonniere's, etc etc, she is there to help and make the day go flawless. Ashley made me and my husband feel so relaxed and at ease on our wedding day and allowed us to enjoy and have fun. I honestly can't imagine my wedding day without Ashley a part of it. I've been obsessed with her work for years and I was so excited she was available to be with us!

    Ashley was an amazing wedding photographer and exactly what we wanted, professional and reputable but also low-key, never pushy. She made everyone feel incredibly comfortable, from us to friends & family, through what can be a tedious process, but it didn't feel tedious to us at all - it was actually fun!

    I would highly recommend Bow Tie Collaborative for anyone looking for high quality wedding photography from a super nice and professional team.

    Ashley Green of Bow Tie Collaborative is the complete professional. I could NOT have been more pleased with how our photos turned out! They were amazing, and we have gotten countless compliments on them. She was very thorough the day of the wedding and captured every memory that we asked of her in planning sessions. She's funny, energetic, and worked tirelessly to capture our entire day. She's the whole package! I have referred several friends and coworkers to her, and they've gone on to book her for their functions. I also used BTC for our engagements and our bridal portraits. Stellar work! Wedding photography was very high up on our list of priorities, as they stay with you forever. I wouldn't change a thing -- would definitely choose Ashley every time!
