We were absolutely obsessed with our engagement session photos and she made us feel so comfortable and at ease and the pictures turned out even better than my inspo photos I found on Pinterest! Fast forward to our wedding a few months later, she was incredibly helpful, vigilant, and organized all while cracking jokes which made everyone feel so comfortable as she was posing them. She even went above and beyond and helped me with a dress malfunction! Her turnaround for photos was very swift and just like our engagement session, we were obsessed and in awe with the results. She is truly so talented with the way she is able to capture love on camera and the way she edits is so classy, dreamy, and timeless. I will forever recommend her to everyone I know and would book her again in a heartbeat!

“Ashlyn is absolutely phenomenal at what she does!

"My boyfriend and I recently bought our first home and had an empty house photoshoot with Ashlyn. WOW is all we can say. The pictures are SPECTACULAR and even more amazing than we could have ever imagined. Ashlyn is so great to work with. She made us and our pup feel so comfortable and the entire time we were all laughing. We HIGHLY recommend her as your photographer."

Frequently Asked Questions

DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDINGS OUTSIDE YOUR LOCAL AREA? +

Absolutely! Wherever your love takes you is where I’ll go. I even have waived travel fees for certain cities, be sure to ask in your inquiry if you’re planning a destination wedding!

HOW DO WE KNOW OUR PHOTOS ARE SAFE? +

Great question! On the day of, I am writing to 4 SD cards (sometimes even more!). Right after the wedding ends, my SD cards go into their own protective cases with your names on them and are stored individually in a drop-proof, waterproof box. Once I’m back at my computer, every single photo is immediately backed up to two hard drives.

DO YOU OFFER PRINTS? +

Yes! Either your package includes an album, or you can add one onto any package. Your online gallery has a built-in professional photo lab, making it easy to order high-quality prints that are shipped directly to you.
