My fiancé and I were so grateful to have Ashley as our photographer! She was gorgeous inside and out. We were so nervous being in front of the camera and Ashley made sure to make us feel comfortable. We felt awkward just because we’re not use to getting our pictures taken professionally but she made us look amazing. We are so in love with our pictures as well as the video! Thank you to Caleb as well. He was so sweet and did an extraordinary job on the video. We are more than thankful for the amazing job they did and felt like our friends were doing a fun photo shoot for us that turned out professional. Thank you, Ashley and Caleb!! More...

To start off, my husband and I are not from San Luis Obispo, therefore we had to rely on reviews such as these to figure out things for our own wedding. Simply put, I have been in your shoes not knowing where to start.After sorting through the large amount of photographers available in this area. I fell in love with Ashley’s ability to capture beautiful candid moments of weddings. Looking through her portfolio, I loved that she captured the moments of pure joy and love at weddings. Fortunately for my husband and I, she was still available for our wedding and I obviously booked her for our day. About 3 months before the wedding, Ashley has a questionnaire as to what we wanted, schedule of the day, and where to put in for photo time. Ashley makes herself available for questions and guidance which was greatly appreciated throughout this whole experience. Ashley came by the venue before the wedding and scoped out photo locations at our venue as well as around the area. Ashley and her husband made taking photos feel effortless and fun. They are very down to earth and beautiful people. Ashley and her husband are an amazing hardworking team that take great pride in capturing the beauty and love at a wedding. We have received all of our photos from the special day and I could not imagine having a different photographer. And I honestly have no idea how she did it, but she captured pure moments of happiness between my husband and I as well as beautiful moments throughout our wedding. It is truly stunning to look through our photos and remember that amazing day. The wedding video bought me tears of joy to reminisce about our day.Ashley and her husband are an amazing team and should definitely be booked by you for your own wedding. More...

I own a local salon in slo and needed a professional photographer to take pictures of my new product line and model shots for a manual I was putting together. Ashley went above and beyond to make the day run smoothly and worry free. She communicated prior to the shoot and provided suggestions that I didn't even think about! Ashley and Caleb were proficient and fun to work with. I received the professional photos sooner than expected! The photos were spectacular. Better than I imagined! You could tell they really took the time to make them perfect. I was impressed and excited to get my business going. Thanks Ashley and Caleb for your attention to detail and extra effort to make my shoot top notch! More...

My husband George and I were thrilled with the pictures Ashley took of our wedding in August 2018! We aren't used to being photographed (like I assume most people aren't! ) but Ashley did a great job putting us at ease and talking us through the different shots. We did an engagement shoot with her a couple of months before our wedding, which really helped us get to know her - she is very kind and approachable. On the day of our wedding, she was there even earlier than she said she would be and took a ton of beautiful pictures of our venue as well as great posed and candid shots (she took pictures I didn't even see her take - it's like she was invisible!) throughout the day. We did some sunset pictures that turned out AMAZING - I didn't know I could look that good! Overall, we were thrilled with our choice to hire Ashley and I can't recommend her enough. More...

Ashley is amazing!! She took our engagement photos and we could not have asked for more beautiful pictures. She captured Jordan and I, and every magical moment perfectly. Every time I look back at those pictures I get to relive that beautiful day over and over thanks to her. She is such a beautiful person and I highly suggest letting her be apart of all the special moments in your life. More...

We hit the jackpot when we hired Ashely as our wedding photographer! As soon as we met up with her and her husband, Caleb, for our complimentary engagement photoshoot, we knew we'd found a truly special team. They are both incredibly personable, warm and easy going. At our wedding, Ashley's team fluttered around the space like butterflies, effortlessly capturing our special moments while giving us space. Ashely's love for what she does radiates through each of her photos. She was able to perfectly capture the magic of our wedding that we will be able to revisit for the rest of our lives. Highly recommend choosing Ashely for your special day. More...

Found Ashley on wedding wire and got so lucky that I was getting married on a random weekday and she had availability! I fell in love with her style and she stood out ten fold compared to every other photographer I was checking out to book.

Not only is she amazing her and her husband have the BEST energy and are so easy to work with. Both my husband and I have huge families and she was able to herd everyone and get the best shots of every aspect. When she sent me the photos I cried at every one of them and I am not even a crier!

Her prices are MORE than fair for getting such magical, intimate and vibrant photos that will last a lifetime. She also traveled from SLO to shoot our wedding in ojai and Thousand Oaks and was totally on time and prepared. I couldn’t give her a better review she nailed every aspect of a photographer that I could ask for. We are definitely keeping her in mind for our future family photos! Thank you so much Ashley!

Ashely is an amazing photographer. She is always so nice, and helpful. She knows exactly what you’re looking for without telling her. She’s very professional, and accommodating with whatever you may need.
Her work is so beautifully done as well. Not too much editing, or too little. The photos come out perfectly.
Thank you Ashley More...

Ashely is a phenomenal photographer and person. She made our special wedding day so easy and well coordinated that it took so much pressure off myself. Even though we had a big wedding party she calmly and professionally directed us what to do and how to get the best shot possible. She has a great sense of humor so I felt relaxed when taking the pictures. She also helped me with the wedding timeline so that everything flowed and so we had the best lighting for our pictures. When I received our wedding pictures I felt like I relived the day and she even captured a few moments I didn’t get to see on the day of our wedding. I would highly recommend Ashley to any bride and I am so happy to have such beautiful wedding pictures to look back on. More...

Ashley was so amazing to work with! She was so helpful, nice and made my life so easy! Her demeanor is amazing, wedding days are so stressful and she totally kept me calm and happy. We absolutely loved our pictures, her work is obviously amazing but what made that so much better is how comfortable she made us feel in front of the camera. Couldn’t have been happier to have her on our wedding day! More...
