My biggest goal on your wedding day is keeping a calm vibe and staying with you in the spirit of celebration! I recognize that wedding days can get chaotic even with the best planning. I’m here to keep the ball rolling while also honoring the day as it unfolds — spontaneity is the joy of life after all!
My style of shooting is a mix of candids and posed shots. Throughout the day, I focus on capturing candid moments as they happen. However, when it comes time for portraits of you and your new spouse, I like to “work out of poses”. This means that I will get you into a pose to capture beautiful portraits that are well-lit and well-composed and then I will give you prompts to get you moving (and most likely laughing) for natural candids that capture your personality and the spark between the two of you.
"I highly recommend Ashley. She is a true star in the sky, swooping in to shed light and capture the beautiful moments that happen everyday including special days. She is very professional and makes sure you get what you want. Her photos are beautiful quality and worth every penny. We picked her because we vibed so well together. Ashley exceeded all of our expectations and we plan on using her services for future special events."

"Our wedding was nothing short of a fairytale. Thanks to Ashley's incredible work, we will enjoy the magic for the rest of our lives! Ashley's organized, warm and easy-going approach to photography perfectly balanced out our wedding day. Now, about the final pictures ... they were spectacular! Ashley captured the magic of the mountains, our love for each other, the joy of our friends and family, and all of our Bulgarian traditions. Our friends have yet to stop talking about her work."
- Simona, Bride
"When hoping to capture the love, beauty and faces that made our wedding story, we wanted an artist to paint our incredible beginning into something we could reflect upon in all of our happily wedded years to come. Ashley was the artist who gave her eye and her creativity to our wedding and we will forever be grateful. Ashley is talented, kind and professional. She is a true artist who we were lucky to have as part of our beautiful day."

"I didn't know that when I hired Ashley, I wasn't just hiring a photographer but I was making a friend! Working with Ashley from the very beginning has been so wonderful! She has a true passion for photography and it absolutely shows in her work! My photos are absolutely incredible and I couldn't be happier with her and her product! I loved them so much that I booked Ashley again for another bridal session. Thank you for giving us such beautiful memories of our wedding day!"

For me as a photographer, I want to capture emotions and action in my wedding photos. I’m always chasing beautiful scenery, of course! However, my focus is to create a collection of wedding photos for you that really showcases the dynamic between you and your partner. I think it’s important for each couple to honor their own experiences and celebrate their wedding day in a way that suits their relationship.
My favorite clients have been folks who want to have a laid-back, fun wedding celebration with their closest people. Food, music and laughter are important to my clients. There’s usually dancing, kids running wild and the warm glow on faces around a fire pit on cool Appalachian mountain evenings. My favorite clients are those who remember that the most important part of their wedding day is the heart of their love for each other and for those who gather with them. The rest is just lagniappe (a little something extra).
