MY PHILOSOPHY | I’m sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned. It’s all very exciting but it can also be somewhat overwhelming. You’re planning the day that you’ve been anticipating your whole life and yet you only get one shot at it! By the time you get the hang of it, the planning is over! Our goal as wedding photographers is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience. When our couples feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, that results in genuine, joyful images! When I think back to my wedding day, I wish I had a photographer to make the experience! (Read about my wedding day on my blog.) Your wedding day is an experience from beginning to end and your photography is a huge part of that experience..... shouldn’t it be fun? and enjoyable? and natural? I think so! My goal is to not only capture memories for my clients, it’s to create an experience that they will never forget.
Process
THE PROCESS| One way I ensure that our couples enjoy the BEST photographic experience possible is through forming a relationship with our them. We try our best to make sure that all of our couples are the PERFECT fit for us before officially booking. A couple should connect with their photographer, trust their photographer and be EXCITED about the whole process with them! After booking, I love getting to know my clients through an ENGAGEMENT SESSION that helps them warm up to the camera so that they are ready to rock and roll on the wedding day! By the time the wedding day arrives, my clients feel more like friends and that creates a safe and relaxed environment for photography! Now that you know a little bit about my approach to the wedding day, you can continue reading to find more detailed information about THE WEDDING EXPERIENCE!
My Philosophy
"I absolutely LOVED working with Ashley. She was amazing during our engagement shoot and perfect for our wedding! They have this amazing knack of capturing every detail and moment that you may or may not be too busy to see! They are able to make perfect portraits, fun creative photos, and my favorite - the candid ones! They put me at ease each time we were together, and laughing the entire time! So much fun working with these two and would recommend them to anyone!!!"

This small review could never truly convey how appreciative I am for Ashley and all of her help. For my wedding, I took on most of the responsibilities for getting everything organized. If there are any other brides reading this please know that Ashley is a true professional who has the care and artistic vision that helped turn one of the biggest days of my life, into some life long memories. My husband and I absolutely loved the photos she took. Thank you!

"We are so glad we hired Ashley. She was a delight to work with. Our engagement session was great to get to know how she works and it made the wedding day much easier with not having to get to know the photographer. Ashley has a strong eye for ideal lighting. We trusted Ashley’s creative instincts and it was the best thing we could have done for the excellent shots she got. We also loved that she was on the same page as us in capturing the day and not staging the day. We were so pleased to have found Ashley for our photographer."
