Beginning and end Photographer

Imagine that there is a pandemic happening. Imagine that protests have broken out everywhere and the country has issued curfews nation wide. Imagine both of those things happening simultaneously days before your wedding. Ashley flew into Arizona, from her state, in the middle of a pandemic and in the wake of some tough transitional times. She was calming. She was funny. She persisted on with me. She made me laugh when I felt like all was falling apart. She reassured me that my wedding day was going to be perfect and that everything would melt away. Ashley is the most genuine, kind, nurturing, talented photographer out there. She takes whimsical photos and captured the essence of who we are as humans and a couple. She gave me photos I’m proud to have and share. Everything she did was professional and loving. Every interaction was thoughtful and beyond what you would hope for. As a bride this day is stressful, but I didn’t feel an ounce of that. I knew what to expect. I knew the timeline. Ashley ran me through, multiple times, what my day was going to look like. She did NUMEROUS timelines as our plans changed. She kindly asked me, at least ten times, for the documents she sent over. She would laugh as I would forget. I would apologize, she would resend the emails. She is one of the most hardworking women I know. I’m so proud of my photos. I’m proud of this day. I can not recommend with enough enthusiasm Beginning and End Photography and Ashley. This will be the best decision you ever make. The woman has enormous amounts of talent, she’s hilarious, and she cares about what she does and the clients she secures. She spends so much time catering to the bride and grooms wishes and goes beyond the scope of her contracts to ensure the day is perfect for her clients. If you want a reliable and professional photographer, this is the girl.

Ashley is truly talented and such a passionate photographer! She cares so much about each couple and really helps to bring out the love in your photo shoot. I got married last year and was worried that my photos wouldn’t be exactly what I wanted after we got our engagement photos so Ashley worked with me to set up a mini shoot following our wedding so I could have a second set of photos that I knew I would love! I would recommend her 100%, thank you Ashley!

Ashley is AMAZING, she is so much more than a wedding photographer. Not only did she take beautiful images of our special day, but she sat down with my husband and I several times leading up to our big day to discuss our wants and needs, provide guidance on timing, style and made her self readily available for questions pretty much whenever. We had a relatively short engagement and didn't know how to begin to plan out our big day. Ashley knew when the lighting would be best, how much time we would need for pictures, ceremony, all of it! I'm so thankful to have had her expertise and have no regrets choosing Beginning and End Photography!

Ashley made the whole experience from beginning to end so easy. She was extremely helpful with everything I needed and through all my endless questions. Even more than that, our photos were absolutely gorgeous. She just completely brought our special day to life through the photos. Getting photography is such an important part of the process and you only have one chance to get it right and we are so happy we decided to go with Ashley. Thank you for everything and we will definitely be using you in the future!!

Ashley was so kind and helpful in the planning and organization of our wedding. We came from out of state, and she helped us every step of the way, not only in the planning prior to the day, but on our wedding day she was organized, quick, and provided us with the most beautiful photos (and SO many of them!) I will truly cherish these memories for the rest of my life, and am so grateful that we found Ashley and that she could capture the special moments for us.

Ashley was so amazing for us and our whole experience. She was so sweet and kind, every time I was worried or unsure if we could still have our event she helped me through it and reassured me that yes this was going to happen and be amazing. And it was! She was so relaxed and professional and we loved the way she worked with my partner and I. She made everything feel natural and fun which is really hard for the both of us. And the photos!!! The turn around time was so quick and the photos are pure magic that we are going to cherish for ever. Thank you Ashley for giving me the most beautiful memories of the happiest day of my life.

Ashley is an absolute photography genius and I am so incredibly happy that we chose her as our elopement photographer! She was the kindest soul from the very beginning and helped plan our last minute elopement. She handled everything with such professionalism, grace, and organization that it made all of the planning absolutely stress-free. She handled literally everything for us!
The pictures she took were absolutely gorgeous as well. They are absolute art and we cannot get enough of them! Not only is she great at photography, she is also such a sweet and kind person. She makes you feel like you have another best friend with you on your wedding day. She is an angel and we are blessed to have such beautiful pictures as memories of our special day. We can't thank you enough Ashley, you're the best!!

A little over a year ago I just happened to stumble upon Ashley’s Instagram page and fell in love with her work. Her beautiful photographs were exactly the look and feel I wanted for our wedding, and the prices of her packages were either cheaper or comparable to other photographers in our lower price range budget but the difference in quality was amazing! The best thing we did for our wedding was hiring Ashley! Our videographer we hired turned out to be disappointing, but I always tell people “it’s ok because I have these beautiful pictures that perfectly capture the entire day”. She seriously saved the day! There were so many sentimental elements to our wedding, and she made sure to capture them all. And before she left for the night, she made sure to come ask me if there were any other shots that I wanted her to get before she left. We got the photos back super fast too!
Since the wedding, we’ve personally gone back to Ashley twice for shoots and she’s shot for my sister’s Senior photos, my cousin’s Senior photos, and family photos for my aunt. She is so genuine and friendly. She makes you feel so comfortable, like you’ve been friends for years. And I just love that she has such a creative eye. It is always such a great time working with her and I am never disappointed.
