Ash Baumgartner Photographer | Reviews

How lucky we were to find Ashley! Partnering with Ashley for our wedding photography was one of the first decisions that we made (about a year before the wedding) so it was amazing that she offered an engagement session so that we could meet her and get comfortable with each other 11 months in advance. Ashley knocked it out of the park for photography. We even hired her to shoot our rehearsal dinner the night before! We will cherish these images forever and I feel so blessed to have been captured in her light. Not only is she amazing at what she does, she is the sweetest person you will ever meet. So thoughtful and always made you feel like you were her most important clients. Love you, Ashley!

We are so happy we chose Ashley to be our photographer! She is so talented, warm, and has such great attention to detail! She is the most kind and amazing person! We are so grateful to have met and hired her for our big day! We love that she included an engagement session, which was fun and gave us great photos to use for events leading up to the wedding and our website. On the wedding day, she took amazing photos of all the special details for getting ready and at the venue. Ashley and her assistant photographer were very friendly, organized and efficient. We were able to get photos of all of our loved ones and guests! She didn’t miss a thing! We truly love all of our photos and will cherish these perfectly captured memories for the rest of our lives!

There are so many things I could write and say about choosing Ashley to be a part of our (MY) wedding journey.  From the initial email “getting to know us” to the time we met for our engagement photos, Ashley is a part of your life, and now a part of my family. She takes into account every single detail and idea that you might even think you have.  She knows how to capture the most beautiful light and airy photos I could even imagine.

One thing I can say, is that when you’re picking your photographer, you have to know what “style” of photos that you want.  Being that I knew I wanted, light and airy, I knew Ashley was the photographer for me.  When my husband and I went to our engagement photo session, this was going to be our first time being in front of the camera, Ashley’s camera at that.  Ashley is truly a master at her craft. She told us “If you don’t feel awkward, you’re not doing it right”, and that is the truest thing I’ve come to know.  Matter of fact, the more awkward, the more gorgeous the photo is.  We had so many amazing photos just from our engagement photos, it was so hard to choose photos to use for our stationary.

Come 2020, we were so excited to be months away from our May 9th wedding.  Then as of March 2020 we were on full lock down dealing with Covid-19.  We were extremely devastated to have to cancel our bachelor/bachelorette parties, my bridal shower, and eventually postpone our wedding to August 2020.  Due to an expiring and kind of expensive Wedding certificate (that we already had) we chose to have a Mini-Mony wedding.  Out of the kindness of her heart, Ashley so selflessly came to our mini mony and shot wonderful photos.  I am eternally grateful for her kindness and dedication during this time. Finally come August 2020 our Micro-Mony wedding was the real deal with my dress and all.  The photos from our gallery were everything I could have dreamed of.  I am eternally grateful for Ashley and how attentive to detail she is.  She made me feel like the world revolved around me the entire day. I truly believe I have found my photographer for life. We would recommend her for any and everything.

Ashley was our favorite vendor that we hired for our entire wedding weekend!! She went above and beyond from the first meeting via zoom to the gallery delivery after our wedding and everything in between. We have been working with her since 2019 (COVID postponement couple haha). Ashley runs an incredible business and has made the wedding planning process enjoyable by always reminding us to come back to what it’s all about— marrying each other! She truly got to know us as a couple and checked in throughout our 2+ years of working together. Ashley is also SO thoughtful—she gave us some of the most special keepsake gifts throughout our wedding planning that we will keep forever! She shot our engagement photos, rehearsal, and wedding day all so beautifully! She listened to our vision and needs and executed our wedding day so that we got photos with everyone that we wanted in a quick and efficient manner so we could be as present as possible on the wedding day and made it for most of cocktail hour! Ashley sent us our full gallery of photos in 6 quick weeks fully edited and narrowed down to the best images (she sent even more photos than we expected)! And most importantly, she made us feel at ease the entire day like we were hanging out with a friend! We had so much fun and were smiling and laughing all day which she really captured in our photos. Hire her— you won’t regret it!! We adore you Ashley— thank you!

I first met Ashley at the end of 2019, for what was supposed to be a 2020 wedding. We all know how that went! We ended up pushing to 2021 and Ashley was so kind and communicative throughout the process. Ashley cares a lot for her clients and her craft. She genuinely takes an interest in the couple and their story and is able to capture that in her photos. I love how Ashley took command of the group and family photos on our wedding day and was able to keep the timeline flowing smoothly. She’s super friendly and I felt 100% comfortable with her by our side throughout our wedding weekend. It’s such a gift to look through all of the amazing memories she captured. Thank you, Ashley!!!

Ashley is a wonderful photographer! She did both our engagement and wedding photos, and she was able to make my wife and I, who almost never take pictures, completely comfortable in front of the camera. And that’s just the start. She was down to travel multiple hours away to our college town to shoot our engagement photos. She coordinated with us on our wedding date change immediately after learning our venue double booked us. She helped us outline our wedding day timeline. AND when our wedding day came she took the most perfect photos that my wife and I have of ourselves, our families and our friends to date, giving us sneak peeks before we even landed in our honeymoon destination the next day. Her photos capture not only the details, but the emotions of the day, and we feel so lucky to have them to look back on for the rest of our lifetime. We will definitely be using Ashley again for our future photo needs!
