Ashley did an amazing job photographing our wedding. She captured all of the moments that were important to us. We are still getting compliments of how enjoyable she was to work with even months after our wedding. She made taking pictures a fun event. I especially appreciated that Ashley took the time to learn the names of the people in our wedding party. Ashley took the time to learn what pictures were important to us and our families. She was also able to find the perfect balance between formal poses and more candid shots. She also took time to scout out the area around our venues to look for places for us to take pictures. We received our pictures a couple weeks later than expected but once we got them they were more than worth the wait. The pictures are absolutely gorgeous. Ashley did a great job of capturing our personalities and the atmosphere of the day. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. More...

Ashley is incredibly talented. She photographed interiors for my portfolio and brings magic to her work. She's prepared with all the lighting needed to make interiors look their best, is so kind & friendly, and finished all the work in a timely and beautiful manner. I can't wait to work with her again!

My wife and I started working with Stylecoach Studio and Wendy in 2009 after we bought my grandparent's home that was built 50+ years ago. We wanted to keep the integrity and feel of the original home, but update it for our lifestyle and growing family. We started looking into remodeling, and we were overwhelmed with much of the process until we met Wendy! She listened to what we were looking to do with our home, planned and communicated well, worked with our contractors, paid attention to all of the small details, and made sure the results were what we wanted for our home and our family. Wendy is always professional and friendly, and she brings a great sense of design and style to our home. We have remodeled our home in stages over the last eight years, and Wendy has been an integral part of each project. I highly recommend Wendy as a designer! More...

She had amazing creative vision but also really, really listened to what was most important to us. She was beyond flexible with her scheduling and honestly felt like another member of our wedding party. We were so lucky she was available! More...

Ashley was amazing! She made me her number one priority! She went above and beyond to make our day special! We paid for 12 hours, she was 8 months pregnant and stayed for 13 hours, still trying to capture our day! If that's not dedication I don't know what is! She impressed us till the very last second! Ashley is so passionate about her work and it shows every step of the way! She is positive, professional, and fun! It was raining all day on our wedding and she just ran with it! She did what ever she could to make up for the rain. She thought of new clever ideas all day making sure the rain didn't put a damper on our day! The pictures turned out great and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer! We recommend Ashley any chance we get! More...

If you are looking for a wedding photographer who knows how to organize groups, compose beautiful photos, keep things on schedule, and who is extremely fun and caring, Ashley is the one! She is talented and professional, and we were so impressed with how comfortable she was with helping get people where they needed to be for family pictures after the ceremony, and with the bridal party. She didn't miss anything! We were so happy with all the photos we received, the way she worked with us and answered all our questions, and the care she put into the final package. It's so hard to decide which photos to print and frame because they are all seriously amazing!! More...

Ashley was great to work with and made us feel very comfortable on our wedding day. She went above and beyond to make sure we got our "must have" shots which even meant walking right into a lake to get the perfect canoe picture! We highly recommend Ashley as a wedding photographer, her photos perfectly captured the magical day. We still can't get over how vibrant all the colors look in our photos. More...

My wife and I looked at wedding photographers for weeks and finally narrowed it down to a handful to meet with based on their portfolios.
From the moment we met Ashley we could tell she was someone that truly loves what she does. She was excited about the idea of our camp themed wedding and was already coming up with ideas for shots minutes after sitting down with her, we knew without a doubt she was the photographer for us! We opted to have Ashley take our engagement photos as well and that was a great idea! It let us all work together and get to know each other a little more before the big day. Through the planning process Ashley was always available to help us with any questions we had or provide suggestions. When the day came, Ashley was nothing short of amazing. Her and her assistant ran around like crazy all day capturing everything from the biggest moments to the tiny details. At one point Ashley was literally up to her knees in mud and muck because she wanted a specific shot!
Ashley is an excellent photographer and a wonderful person that is willing to go above and beyond to make your wedding memories amazing!

Ashley does an absolutely amazing job!! She is very personable and enthusiastic about what she does. From the start, she responded in a timely fashion and answered all of our questions. She was very flexible and willing to accommodate our individual needs. She was there for the majority of our wedding day and I was confident that she captured all of the shots we requested for her to. It took a few months to get our pictures back but Ashley took the time to edit and retouch almost 2000 photos. It was TOTALLY worth the wait! We have so many beautiful pictures to choose from, we can't decide which ones to display! I would definitely recommend Ashley if you want to have a stress-free experience from start to finish with the guarantee that you will get tons of amazing photographs! :) More...

I loved working with Ashley Avila for both my engagement pictures and wedding photos. She was always so nice and easy going, she made me and my now husband feel very comfortable and like we could just have fun. She was also super willing to try anything I wanted to--including getting into the water in northern Michigan on our wedding day! The value of her services and the fact that she is there with you all day far surpasses the amount you'll pay. After looking at multiple photographers to hire during my engagement, I found Ashley to be one of the most reasonably priced all the while providing some of the longest hours of on-the-day-wedding pictures available. And she was super awesome and nice! My photos turned out amazing, I can really tell she put in a lot of time to edit them and make sure I love them. In addition, I was having lunch with the lady who helped plan and decorate my wedding on the day of, who stylizes a lot of weddings herself, and I was showing her all my pictures and she told me that she had never seen so many from a photographer. Just goes to show, Ashley truly put in all her energy and passion into getting every single shot I could possibly want to capture every moment of my special day. Thank you, Ashley! I definitely recommend her to anyone getting married--for both engagement shots and wedding pictures. :) More...

My family and I have been thrilled with our photography from Ashley Avila, she has become the photographer who captures generations of our family.
We are approaching our third anniversary and have hired her to shoot our daughters 1st birthday. She shot our engagement session, rehearsal dinner and wedding day. We've loved working with her so much she has photographed our daughter every 3 months and done our family milestone photos. Its important to develop a report with your photographer for genuine photos. Ashley has a way of reading her clients that can instantly put them at ease and really make the experience of capturing memories an authentic one. We've recommended her to two other couples and they've both raved. The third couple will be wed in January and their engagement session was fantastic!
In this digital age it is easy to have an event and want your pictures back the next morning for social media :) That's not realistic but what we received is worth the wait! Great value and a lovely experience.

My search for the right photographer was an arduous task. I researched and compared nearly 20 photographers in Michigan, and interviewed a few final contenders. Thank goodness I found Ashley. We clicked immediately, she was warm, easygoing, and hilarious. This was important to me, considering a good photographer needs to be comfortable around your friends and family. She went above and beyond, and really captured the natural moments and emotion of our day. My only wish was that I didn't have time to provide her with a list of images that I wanted, and it would have been really great if she had a form I could have filled out with boxes to check. That's my only suggestion. More...
