Memorable Experience with Ashley~ A Day We’ll Never Forget!!😀📸✨
We cried watching our video. It is absolutely perfect.
From the very beginning, you took the time to truly get to know us as a couple and understand what was most important to us. You didn’t just show up and film our wedding day you took the time to learn our story, our personalities, and the vision we had for how we wanted to remember this chapter of our lives. That care and attention shines through in every single moment of the final video.
The thought, creativity, and intention you put into every detail are beyond anything we could have imagined. You captured not only the big moments, but also all of the little emotions, interactions, and memories that made the day so special. Watching it feels like being transported right back to those moments, allowing us to relive our wedding day over and over again.
Thank you for pouring so much of yourself into your work and for creating something that means more to us than words can express. Your talent is incredible, but what truly sets you apart is the genuine care you have for the people you work with. We will treasure this video for the rest of our lives. ❤️

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our cohort’s white coat ceremony! She was absolutely amazing—so kind, professional, flexible, and truly a beautiful soul inside and out. She worked seamlessly with all 22 of us grad students, as well as our professors and families, making everyone feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated.
She went above and beyond to ensure every student and family was captured, so each of us walked away with meaningful content and memories to cherish. The photos reflected both the formal moments and the genuine emotions of the day—every detail was thoughtful and intentional. On top of that, she created a beautiful video of our ceremony that captured all of the speeches from our professors, and each of us getting coated. It was the perfect way to relive such an important milestone in each of our journey.
Ashley brought everything you'd want in a photographer for a special event: clear communication, flexibility, professionalism, creativity, and a warm, calming presence. Her energy, effort, and attention to detail were phenomenal, and she offered the best pricing of anyone we considered.
