a little more about me
I believe beautiful photography begins with both craft and kindness.
After nine years and more than 100 weddings, there are a few things I know for sure: beautiful photographs matter, having someone you trust by your side matters just as much, and a good set of wedding vows can still make me cry.
I've always loved a good story (I usually have a book in hand when I'm not behind the camera), and I think that's part of what drew me to wedding photography in the first place. Getting to know my couples and the things that make their stories unique is one of my favorite parts of what I do.
I bring experience and a thoughtful approach to every wedding, along with a genuine love for this work and the people I get to share it with.

You've spent years dreaming about your wedding, and I want you to enjoy every bit of it.
With nearly a decade of weddings behind me, I know how much thoughtful preparation can make a difference. I'll help you build a timeline that allows for the portraits you've always envisioned, find the best light, offer direction when it’s helpful, and step back when the moment is better left untouched.
Throughout it all, I'll bring a calm, attentive presence, taking care of the details so you can focus on celebrating with the people you love. The result? A beautiful collection of photographs and the freedom to truly enjoy the day you've worked so hard to plan.

Ashley brought calm to my chaos and somehow managed to be both a steady hand and an emotional heart. She cried with us during the most beautiful moments of the day, captured memories we’ll treasure forever, and made us feel so seen, so celebrated, and so loved.
“Her talent is unmatched, her heart is so genuine, and her presence made our day feel even more magical.”
- Lindsay & Nick Chiodo
I was looking for somebody experienced and professional but could also be the type of person I wanted to have around on the wedding day. Ashley took my questions seriously and made me feel confident in hiring her. Her photos are natural and consistent, plus our engagement photos were incredible!
“Ashley was nothing short of incredible!”
- Jess & Andy Newlin
Ashley is beyond incredible at what she does. She is all about her clients and giving them the best experience possible. She and her team are so calm and professional - it made our wedding day feel stress-free. The end products are stunning and even more than I could have imagined. I am so so so happy with my wedding photos. I will 100% use her again in the future!!
“She is all about her clients!”
- Kellie & Mike McCracken
Finding vendors for our wedding was not something we took lightly, especially photography, but we couldn't even have dreamed for anyone better! If you are looking for professional photos captured by someone who feels like a best friend, you have found it with Ashley!
“We couldn’t have dreamed of anyone better!”

Your wedding day will pass in a beautiful blur. The anticipation, the laughter, the happy tears, the quiet moments, and the celebration of saying “I do.”
These are the moments you’ll want to remember not only for how they looked, but for how they felt.
Because your wedding day can only happen once. But years from now, your photographs can bring you back to the feeling of it all.
