Testimonials

“I don’t even know where to start in my review of Ashley. I found Ashley on Instagram and after looking at her photos I knew she would be the perfect photographer to capture my wedding day. From the second I reached out, Ashley was nothing but friendly, professional, warm, and made me feel like I was her friend. I remember feeling nervous before the engagement session because I wasn’t sure how to pose but she made it so easy and fun and the photos turned out so much better than I could have imagined. As I planned my wedding, Ashley was there to answer any questions I had and even came up with our schedule for the entire day because I wasn’t sure about timing for the photos. On the wedding day Ashley was so supportive and took the absolute best photos. I’m so happy I found Ashley and I know this isn’t the last I’ll be seeing of her!”

– Elizabeth

“Besides saying I do on your wedding day, hiring Ashley will be the best best decision you make for your special day. We were lucky enough to have Ashley capture our elopement and also travel with her and have a honeymoon photo session. You might be hiring her to photograph your elopement/ wedding/ special event, but you are also gaining a true friend in the entire process. Ashley truly cares about what she is doing and also cares about you. She creates an environment that allows you to be your true self and to just have fun with it. Ashley also brings out the best in your friends and family even after just meeting them for a brief moment. We still have guests reaching out saying how much they loved Ashley. It is just the type of person she is and she is amazing. Every photo she takes truly captures the moment and each photo she takes does tell a story and she somehow is able to capture love between people in each frame . We still can not get over photos and not sure that we ever will. So picture your dream wedding and then imagine it being ten times better and never having to worry about forgetting that special day because Ashley and the images she captures you will be able to relive everything about your special day and cherish it even more.”

– Crystal

“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!”

– Jenn

“If you are looking for a photographer book Ashley now!!!!! This was the best decision and money I have ever spent! Ashley 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 knowledgeable 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!”

– Lauren

“OMG, where do I begin? First off, this girl is the sweetest human on the planet! Im just so lucky that she was a part of our day. Second, this girl is so FREAKIN talented! She made our wedding look so magical, more than I ever could have imagined! She got our pictures to us so quickly, and we haven't stopped looking at them. We also can not pick a favorite they are all so good!! I can't thank her enough for capturing all the love and happiness on our day! She truly is amazing! Don't think twice about booking her for your special occasion!”

– Courtney

“Ashley is absolutely AMAZING!! We seriously hit the jackpot when we chose her as our wedding photographer. The photos she captured from our day are seriously breathtaking. Despite driving 4 hours after our wedding to prepare for her next shoot, she still sent us sneak peaks the same night!! She is a dream to work with, and she was flexible with our changing plans amidst the pandemic. Not only is she super talented, but you will love her personality. I felt like she was my friend the moment I met her! I cannot say enough good things about Ashley. We cannot wait to use her for all our future photography needs!! 1,000 stars!!”

– Shannon

“If you're looking for a photographer, seriously hire Ashley now! My fiancé and I were so nervous to have our engagement photos taken but Ashley made it feel like hanging out with a friend and it was honestly a blast. Our cheeks actually hurt from smiling and laughing so hard. She directed us into poses and played music which really put us at ease. She is super invested in her couples and it shines through in her photos. We can't recommend her enough!!!”

– Angela

“My husband and I cannot speak highly enough of Ashley. We originally booked her for our engagement session and 2020 wedding, but with COVID-19 shaking up our original plans, turned into hiring her to shoot our destination elopement in Acadia National Park. She not only documented our union, but scoped out plenty of places to shoot beautiful photos ahead of time AND she and her husband served as our witnesses - talk about going above and beyond! We will be using her for the THIRD time to shoot our rescheduled wedding reception next year. HIRE HER! You will cherish the time spent with this personal hype woman and the incredible photos she takes forever!”

– Katie

“From our first contact with Ashley it’s been nothing but a 5 star experience! Don’t look any further, take it from this review and the many others, Ashley should be your photographer! You will feel comfortable and enjoy your time but the best part is your pictures will take your breath away! Ashley is very easy to work with, she makes you feel comfortable and can take the lead for you or let your own creativity flow! The best compliments we got from our photos was that you could see we loved each other. She captured our love even while we felt a little uneasy in front of a camera for the first time together. Her talent brought tears to my eyes. Stunning work, great person, wonderful photographer!”

– Alyson

“Ashley is absolutely amazing!!!! I can’t recommend her highly enough! Ashley took our Christmas photos and after seeing how beautiful they turned out we knew we needed to book again! Never did I imagine our second shoot could turn out any more perfect than the first, but needless to say we were blown away! Every shot she delivered had us smiling or crying tears of joy. To top it all off, Ashley is BEYOND efficient in her turn around time as well as response to emails and any questions I had. Booking with her is a no brainer! Not only will the finished product take your breath away, but she will also have you dying of laughter for your entire session. You will leave feeling like you have a new best friend in Ashley! She is hysterical, kind, genuine, and super encouraging!”
