I've always gone by Ash. It just sounds right, feels right. I am a 30-something year old wife + mama of two (well, three if you count our 100lb Bernedoodle, Duke). I’ve been with my hunk of a mountain man (Willie) for almost half of my life... literally, 15 years. Our babies Marley (5) and Bronson (3) aren’t really babies anymore and it is something that I will always struggle coming to terms with. The ways to my heart are simple and are often in the forms of bread, pasta, and ice cream, but I also accept house plants, good company, and cuddles on the couch. As much as I hate to say it… my husband (Willie) will always be way cooler than me. He grows apples, tends to our land, and makes cider for a living. Our goal has always been to be self-sufficient and give our kids a much quieter, slower, simple life than what we had, so naturally we bought a run down 1920’s farmhouse 2 years ago and are slowly (v slowly) turning it into our dream home. It’s not our forever, but it’s been equally hard and fun learning and doing things ourselves. At our current pace, we hope to have it completed by 2033 (not joking haha).

We can’t thank you enough for everything! You’re more than a photographer; you’re a friend who encouraged, advised, and made us laugh since our first conversation. By the time our wedding day arrived, we felt understood and in good hands with you.
Our wedding day was captured perfectly thanks to you. Despite the challenging hurricane conditions, you made the day so fun and managed to capture every special moment beautifully. Your expertise truly shined amid the storm, and we are so fortunate to have had you with us.

UPDATING REVIEW POST WEDDING: Over 2 years of wedding planning and she is STILL the best there is!!! Aside from our wedding photos being literal MAGIC, Ashley was simply the best on our wedding day. She will capture those breath taking, intimate moments and deliver pure art— this is obvious, the photos speak for themselves. But Ash will also be your biggest supporter both leading up to and on your wedding day and *bonus*- get down on the dance floor with you all night long. She makes taking photos so much fun and our sunset session with her was definitely one of our favorite parts of our wedding. I seriously could not imagine our wedding without her and I literally want to get married 10 more times just so she can be a part of it (sorry husband ). If you’re even debating booking Ash, DO IT. You won’t regret it. She’s made forever friends out of us!
