Amazing wedding photographer!!
Ashley was was exceptional and truly made our wedding day extra special. She went above and beyond to capture every moment and made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire day. Her creativity and attention to detail resulted in stunning photos that we will cherish forever. We couldn't be happier with her work. She even helped me prep for the wedding day by building me a photography timeline, which was super helpful!! She recommended that I create a list of shots we want to get so nothing was left out. Highly recommend Ashley and Grind & Press Photography!! -

Ashley was great to work with from the very first email. She was responsive, proactive and accommodating through many scheduling changes, and helped us capture the perfect moments throughout our wedding. She was really creative in her shots and generally just a blast to work with. We especially appreciated how she was able to bring a calming and thoughtful presence in the midst of all the wedding chaos :). Ashley was simply fantastic! -

Christina Sent on 03/26/2022The best decision we made!!
There is not enough room to describe how incredible Ashley is!! Throughout the whole process of wedding planning picking a photographer was the most important and best decision we made. Ashley is prompt, professional, but also has a way of making you feel so comfortable!! During our engagement shoot she took the time to get to know us as people, and that really led to our ability to be our nerdy, authentic selves. She makes the whole process fun and relaxed which helps so much on the wedding day knowing that I could just let her take the reins and work her art! She gave so much of her time and effort to make our day as easy as possible while managing to get "us" is such a beautiful way. We cannot stop raving about her and look forward to having her as a photographer in the future!! -

She not only photographed my wedding but also helped me create a schedule and stay on track! She is the best hype woman you could ask for! I will recommend Ashley to all my friends and family! I will cherish the photos forever, the work she produces is priceless. Thank you for giving me all the confidence on my wedding day and helping me keep everything together! Can’t wait for all of our future shoots! -

Laura Sent on 03/13/2022Absolutely stunning photos—highly recommend
Not only were our photos stunning (our entire family is obsessed) but Ashley was such a pleasure to work with. From our calls beforehand to get a sense of what we were looking for, to later ironing out the details, to how fun she was to work with the day of, we could not have imagined a better experience. -

Beautiful wedding photos
We booked Ashley over the last couple of years to do photos of us with our dogs. She is professional, creative, calm, and a pleasure to be around. Not to mention her photos are always so beautiful! We didn’t want anyone else to take photos of the biggest day of our life. My husband and I are in love with our wedding photos! I could not be happier with the way they turned out. Friends of mine told me they wished she was their wedding photographer. We decided to do a second wedding look at a different location, a few weeks after our wedding. Without a doubt, we booked Ashley to do our photos. I’m obsessed with how they came out! I highly recommend booking Ashley for your big day or any other occasion. We will continue to book her for our future photos. -

Amazing Photographer
You’ve heard the phrase; “a picture is worth a thousand words” well, Ashley is the photographer they had in mind.
Bottom line, pick Ashley for any photography need you have and set your mind at ease. Beyond her amazing skill and talent for photography composition, she is about the most amazing person you’ll ever meet. Genuine in every sense of the word, from the beginning you’ll feel like you’ve been friends for years, and wish you’d known her even longer than that.
Ashley not only took amazing photos of the classic moments of our wedding but also slipped into the background to capture candid memories that most photographers would miss. She helps with the advance planning of particular pictures so nothing is forgotten in the moment and guides the entire process in such a truly caring manner. This is her passion, and it is to all our benefit.
She is our photographer for life. -

Ashley was incredible as our wedding photographer! She knew awesome locations for our "first look" and bridal party pictures and kept us on our timeline without stressing. She was always highly responsive and her photography is just amazing. Cannot recommend her enough! -

Emily Sent on 04/07/2020Awesome Wedding Experience - Highly Recommend
Ashley was the photographer for our wedding in January as well as our engagement photos. She was recommended to us by our wedding planner who said she loved working with her and I can see why. Ashley is the best! She is professional and kind and makes you feel comfortable. She is calm and cool and she makes people who hate having their photo taken like my husband, feel okay about it. Ashley was great when our pre-wedding timeline had some changes and we had to adjust on the fly. Our photos are beautiful and she has an amazing way of using the natural light and the surroundings in nature. I would highly suggest using Grind & Press for your wedding or event! -

Ashley is phenomenal! We used her for our wedding and our engagement pictures. She keeps things fun and creative, which is so important when it comes to capturing photos on your wedding day. She has a great calming energy and is very personable. I can't wait to get my wedding pictures back! I know they won't disappoint. -

Kara Sent on 01/09/2020Beautiful and thoughtful!
Ashley at Grind and Press is my absolute favorite. She photographed my mother's wedding and I knew that when I got married, I needed to have her. Her personality and genuine excitement for her clients helps make the whole process even more memorable. Ashley did a boudoir shoot and engagement shoot for us, so by the wedding day we were old friends. She even suggested and made time for our engagement shoot in our home in NYC while on a trip, even though the wedding was in Tampa. With the possibility of rain on our day, she carried around a cute little umbrella and had the forecast live streamed on her phone, but never once made us worried. We are so, so glad we chose Ashley because these photos will be with us forever. She caught the best candid moments and truly made our dream photos come to life. I highly recommend Grind and Press to any couple looking for a fun, down-to-earth, creative and passionate photographer. Thank you Ashely! -

Stephanie Sent on 08/01/2019So Glad I Had Ashley Capture Our Special Day
I cannot begin to say how thankful we are for hiring Ashley to capture our Wedding in Key West. She is the sweetest person ever! She made us feel at ease when it came down to taking pictures of us two (and overall). We did not feel pressured or stressed during the session, it was like working with someone you knew for awhile and that made us feel comfortable with ourselves around her. It's not hard to tell that she loves what she does. The pictures came out amazing! Thank you so much Ashley! I would forever hire you for any special occasion and would highly recommend you! =) -

After seeing some of Ashley's work through some other friends, I knew that I wanted her to photograph our wedding. She is so sweet and it really feels like you're having a close friend taking your pictures, even though you may have just met! She gives just enough direction to help you get through it but also lets the moment shine through naturally. She has an amazing eye and the pictures are always beautiful. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding day and I would recommend her to anyone I meet. -

Couldn't be more grateful
I cannot write a review that gives Ashley the recognition she deserves. Three weeks ago she photographed my courthouse wedding. She was all of things you want from a photographer: responsive, reasonably priced, and talented. But, she was so much more for us. My husband and I live in Baltimore but got married last minute at the Tampa courthouse. It had been years since I had been to Tampa so I asked Ashley for recommendations on everything and she exceeded our expectations. She picked the PERFECT locations for our pictures. She was also kind and extremely patient with our families. We wanted our courthouse wedding to be special, memorable, and full love and laughter. It was all of those things and we couldn't be more grateful to Ashley for capturing it all perfectly. Ashley's photos told the beautiful story of our courthouse wedding. I find myself looking at the photos often and I'm not sure I could pick a favorite if I tried. -

Chrissy Sent on 06/18/2019Ashley is One of a Kind; Your Special Moments will be Captured Beautifully, Forever
My wedding was absolutely magical, and I owe all of my special memories to Ashley! She is passionate, talented, hardworking, attentive and trustworthy. Her attention to detail, fun-loving attitude and professionalism truly put my mind at ease from beginning to end. She took the time to create a photography timeline with me and ensured each and every moment of my wedding day was captured. Her taste and aesthetic is one of a kind, and her work ethic like none other. I wholeheartedly recommend Ashley Roper and Grind and Press because there is no one who will care more about memorializing special moments for you like she will. Thank you, Ashley! I will never forget you. -

Genuine & Amazing
Ashley is simply amazing! From the very beginning, she was so sweet, easy going and extremely flexible with us. During our engagement shoot, we had so much fun and most importantly, Ashley made us feel comfortable in front of a camera, she really captured our personalities and love for each other. We had so many comments from friends and family, not only on how beautiful our pictures were, but how neat and original they were. On the wedding day, Ashley was very prompt and very stealthy throughout the entire day, there were times I almost forgot she was there! She captured all the important and special moments of the day, plus so many great candids during our reception. Our photos from the wedding are absolutely stunning and we are so happy to have had the opportunity to work with her!!! We are keeping her contact information handy for all our future photography needs :)

Anna Sent on 03/21/2019Always the best experience with Grind & Press
Ashley has been doing photos for us for years so having her for our wedding was the only thing we immediately knew for sure we wanted after we got engaged. She has an amazing calm and positive demeanor that immediately put me at ease on one of the most emotional days of my life. When Ashley delivered our Sneak Peek photos, I realized I never noticed her during the ceremony and was amazed at the pictures she was able to get from different places and angles - like a photo ninja! She always surprises me with her creativity, you will not have cookie cutter photos with Ashley if you let her know you would like to see something different. On the flipside, she had a list of all of the "traditional" family and wedding party posed photos that we requested and got through them quickly and efficiently, even with 50+ family members to wrangle. Besides the gorgeous lighting and the intricate small details that she was able to capture in just the few images she has already shared, the emotions that she saw and preserved in photos took me right back to that day, and I cannot wait to see more! -

Kia Sent on 09/08/2014Ashley did an incredible job on my husband and I's engagement photos! Months later, she blew us away with our wedding day photos!!! She is so easy going, so thoughtful, and gives you everything you ask for and more! She even joined my wedding's Pinterest board to take a look at photos I pinned and wanted to recreate. Not only is she amazing at her craft, but she is professional and prompt. Going with Ashfall Mixed Media, inc. was the easiest decision to make for the wedding after seeing her work on her website, and meeting with her in person. She helped us come up with a list of who we were going to take pictures with post-ceremony/pre-reception, and ensured that we stuck to that list to keep the big day on schedule (thank goodness!). She did an unbelievable job at capturing the best day of my life, and I can't thank her enough! -

Bernadette Sent on 04/29/2014Ashley was awesome!!! My husband and I loved how much Ashley was able to work with us, especially with me being so indecisive. She worked with us from our engagement shoot in Feb. 2013 by spending as much time with us to get the shots we wanted, to sitting down with us and planning the photo schedule for the big day. She was very flexible, responsive via email AND text, and helped us narrow things down if we couldn't decide. She was great to work with! She was referred to me by my hairstylist. And from the moment we saw her photos, she was our choice.
We had no theme to our wedding other than Happily Ever After along with inspired Disney centerpieces. And when we got our wedding pictures, it was truly an Ever After, Princess and Prince Charming kind of night. Our ceremony took place at 6pm in Dec. 2013. We took pictures prior to the ceremony as well as after the ceremony. Ashley took night photos under the night-sky along with lights lined up at the gazebo at Davis Island, and it seriously did not look like a December wedding. Every photo she took turned out gorgeous, especially our night photos. We are truly happy and thrilled that Ashley was our photographer, and look forward to maybe taking future family photos :) -

Karina Sent on 03/08/2014Ashley was my photographer for my wedding on February 22, 2014. I must say that I was beyond pleased with her professionalism and her work! From beginning to end, Ashley captured every moment and detail that I could've thought of! Also, I am in love with her personality! She is very easy-going, understanding, always has suggestions/solutions at hand, she knows how take control of situations that may get out of hand, and knows how to keep the bride calm in the midst of chaos. Ashley went above & beyond for me on my wedding day! I am so excited and looking forward to doing my newlywed photo shoot with her! As for any future events in my life such as birthdays, anniversaries, babies, etc., I have found the perfect photographer to capture the moments of them all-- Ashley (Ashfall Mixed Media)! -

Stefanie Sent on 07/15/2013Words can not describe how wonderful and amazing Ashley is! She is very professional but besides that she is great to work with because of her creative and friendly personality.Ashley made me and my husband feel so comfortable and it was like she was a dear friend. After our engagement session with Ashley we were so excited for the wedding. I was able to send her tons of photo ideas that I wanted for the engagement session and the wedding and we seemed to get all of them in. She listened to all our ideas and suggested some of her own that we loved!
I especially appreciate that Ashley took charge with photos after the wedding ceremony with all the family and bridal party. No one was confused about who was in what picture and they had time to enjoy the cocktail party and mingle with our other guests.
I would recommend any bride who is getting married in Clearwater or St. Petersburg or anywhere in the Tampa Bay area to contact Ashely from Ashfall Mixed Media, Inc. You won't be disappointed because we were not! -

Rachel Sent on 05/14/2012We are a bit of a quirky couple and Ashley captured that with perfection! She is very reasonably priced and her pictures are downright phenomenal! She spent time with me prior to our big day looking at the venue and planning out fun shots to capture and that translated into painless wedding day photos!
