Dreamy Coastal Weddings, Barefoot Nights, and the Places I’m Dying to Photograph
I’ve got a soft spot for ocean air, tented receptions, and wildly intentional celebrations—especially in places like Charleston, the Oregon coast, Italy, or Martha’s Vineyard. If your wedding is the kind that belongs in a Nancy Meyers film (but with mezcal), I want in.

If you’ve been scrolling through the same light-and-airy galleries, wondering why they all blur together — you’re not alone. Your wedding deserves more than a copy-paste aesthetic. I’m here for the couples who crave honest cinematic storytelling with an editorial eye — the ones who want their photos to feel like a memory and a magazine spread at the same time.
I blend cinematic tones, nostalgic textures, and real connection to create images that feel like you — effortless, artful, and impossible to replicate. Because your love story isn’t generic, and your wedding photos shouldn’t be either.

Just looking for couples photos? I offer engagement sessions, story-telling sessions, anniversary portraits, and documentary-style couple shoots too.
“We are both very awkward when it comes to having our photo taken, but Ashley kept us laughing, and we forgot she was even holding a camera.”

“Ashley was a perfect choice of vendor to photograph our special day. She made us feel calm and comfortable, she was on top of her game and took the most incredible pictures I’ve ever seen. I am so happy with the results of her work and how my vision came to life. Her style, the way she captured emotion through the lenses, every time I look at the pictures I find new details. Thank you so much for being such a great professional and caring person.”

Honest, emotional photography— without the guesswork.
I know that hiring a wedding photographer is a big decision— and that it can feel overwhelming trying to figure out who’s right. That why I make it simple, transparent, and personal. I believe in being upfront.
I offer elopements, micro-weddings, full day and multi- day wedding celebrations. If you can dream it up, I want to hear all about it. I have photographed beautiful backyard weddings, weddings that have been moved last minute because of hurricanes, courthouse weddings, huge weddings, beach weddings. I have photographed real weddings in Washington state, Montana, New York, New Jersey, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina. I photograph any and all humans in love, with zero hesitation or question. LGBTQ+ friendly, BIPOC inclusive. You will absolutely not find another photographer that is as enthusiastic, totally pumped, and obsessed with love as I am. I have a quirky, out of the box personality and approach to my art. My art requires depth because I am unable to maintain shallow interactions. My work is full of heart because I genuinely love the hell out of my clients. You can ask me any questions, any time. Whether you’re curious about how to do formal family portraits or how to take portraits of you and your partner in different locations on your wedding day, I can help you figure it out. I’ve seen almost every situation and I’m pretty fearless.
01. What I Offer
Real connection is super, super important to me, In my mind, I am convinced that you having a connection with your photographer is absolutely vital. Not only will you spend the majority of your wedding day around your photographer, but also, your photographer will be documenting your day based on what they think and feel about you. A photographer is the beholder of your wedding day. They’re telling your love story through their lens. Don’t you want them to know who you are? I have an initial call with every single client because this connection is so important. It’s not a sales call, it’s a call to check the vibes and for me to learn what you value. Because I care about who you are and what means the most to your heart. I want to hear your love story. I want to know your dreams. I want to understand your vision and the important themes of your day, because I want your day to be exactly what you want it to be, and I want to photograph it all in the most honest way. I hold so much reverence for your love story because I know that life is too short. Plus, if you’re uncomfortable in your photos because your photographer is scary and barking orders at you— NOT my vibe haha— you will be visibly uncomfortable in alllllll your wedding photos. My personality really shines at every wedding and I have a real knack for making people feel VERY comfortable around me.
02. Getting to know you
03. Booking
It’s important to me to keep everything pretty simple for clients. From the first call to the day before your wedding and beyond, I strive for simplicity. I don’t need a lot of attention, I won’t be the vendor that is in your inbox daily asking for updates about ridiculous details and stressing you out.. I will never pressure anyone to book with me. If you want to work with me, I’d be honored. At the same time, I am a big believer in what’s meant to be will be. I probably love you but, I’m not the photographer for everyone, and not every client is for me. I have a very unique, down to earth, and ego-free process and I want to forever keep that peaceful energy alive, as it is very important to the creative process. Wedding dates are first come, first served, and I book available dates. Sometimes those are two months out, and sometimes they’re two years out. To avoid disappointing anyone, I try to get dates saved as quickly as possible, so that you can just sit back, relax, and know that you have hired a photographer that will strive to make the wedding photography process as carefree and laid back as it can be, while still maintaining professionalism, organization where needed, and complete creativity everywhere else.

that feels like you.
“Ashley is honestly one of the best photographers, and people I know. She GENUINELY wants to take the best photographs and succeeds 100% of the time.
Ashley photographed our wedding and our engagement photos. One of my favorite parts of this experience with her was that she was your hype man. Every pose and every picture she was constantly telling us how awesome we were and made us feel so comfortable. If you are debating using Ashley for your event, JUST DO IT!!!!!”
—Chloe
Whether you’re planning a courthouse “I do”, a luxury destination wedding, an elopement in a National Park, or a weekend-long celebration in the mountains, I’ll be there to capture it with honesty and heart. To the ones dreaming across oceans—I’m ready when you are. (Ireland, I’m looking at you.)
“Ashley made our day so much better. Like sooooo much better. We made a friend, and my wife is so happy with what we got. If it ain’t you, it’s nobody.”
