Top 50 As a former accountant who left to pursue my creative passions, I love capturing joyful memories on your special days. I'm someone who has always been camera shy, and love to direct in a way that makes people feel comfortable and have fun! On a day when I'm not shooting, you'll catch me cuddling with my dog, listening to records, and discovering new music!

Ashley & Mel (& Simon at the time) were so fun to work with for our engagement and wedding photos! My husband and I usually don't know how to act in front of cameras but Ashley made us feel so comfortable and our photos came out so happy and authentic. My friend and I both went with Raya Studios for our weddings and we're so glad we did because not only did they give us amazing photos, but they really felt like friends celebrating with us on our big day :)
Such good photography skills! Captures amazing moments!! Friendly and caring!! Great to work with!!! Hard working throughout the whole process!! Spectacular work!!
We feel so fortunate that we had Ashley and Mel shoot at our destination wedding in Cancun in March.
We first met Ashley virtually last year while we were looking for a photographer and we instantly had a connection with her. She was very calm, kind hearted and accommodating. After our first meeting, she sent us a follow up email right away with all the details we discussed. We knew at that time that we had found our perfect photographer.
Although she had never done a destination wedding before, she rose to the occasion and was very excited for the new challenge. We discussed our budget and she was very quick to figure out a way to make everything work. She took care of booking her own travel arrangements and made sure that she arrived early enough to scope out the resort to find the best spots for our photos.
Ashley was always very responsive to our texts, so it made working with her very easy and comforting.
Ash along with her second photographer, Mel were very professional. They possessed a “chill vibe” which made them very easy to get along with, it felt like we were working with our friends!
On the day of the wedding, the two of them divided and conquered. Ash following the bride and Mel, the groom. We were so happy with our pictures, they captured such beautiful moments, even ones we didn’t know were happening. As the wedding couple, we miss so much action that goes on with the guests, and they captured all those happy and fun moments for us.
Not only did they shoot our wedding day. They also did our “welcome drinks” and two other family photo minis at the resort. Ash and Mel were both very patient and friendly. They always appeared to be enjoying themselves which made them a pleasure to work with.
The turnaround time for our photos were super quick. I think we got them around a month after the wedding. We were so happy with how they turned out. They have a creative and modern flair.
We really enjoyed working with Ash and Mel, and we highly recommend this sister duo. Thanks so much ladies, it was a pleasure!

Ashley and her associate were the sweetest duo that we could have ever imagined! She is extremely professional, easy going, and is a positive ray of sunshine.
I would book her again but I'm only getting married once.
To end this off, she made our day and I'm sure she'll make yours as well.

I have to say that Ashley has exceeded my expectations on so many levels! For someone that isn’t all too comfortable in front of the camera, Ashley does an amazing job of giving creative direction and making you feel at ease when shooting with her.
She is very friendly, professional, and communication was great throughout the process. She has a great eye and was able to capture all the moments that one wouldn’t easily think to take. The photos turned out beautifully and I can’t thank her enough for these core memories. Highly recommend Ashley for any of your photography needs whether it be your engagement shoot, portraits, events, etc. It was so fun shooting with her and I can’t wait to come back for more photos!

Ashely completed my engagement photos and she was amazing. Super easy to work with and myself and fiancé felt so comfortable taking photos. The photos were stunning and I have received many compliments about the photos. Ashley was professional and prompt with sending photos back as well as fixing edits as needed. You won’t regret booking with Ashley.
Not only does Ashley have a great eye for capturing the best angles, she is excellent at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera and provides great directions on poses. She is professional, friendly and kind which made the rather awkward task lots of fun! We got our headshots done in the beautiful studio and we are more than happy with how they turned out! Highly recommend Ashley for anyone looking for a photographer.
Posing in front of a camera is not my forte, but Ashley really knows how to make you feel less awkward! She is so encouraging and positive, and gives you great direction for a variety of poses. Not to mention, she really hits the mark every time with her editing! I cannot recommend her enough!
