The Wedding Experience
WELCOME
The love story you will tell when you are old starts now. I am thrilled to be alongside you as we start this journey of telling your story together.
From educating you on how to pose, sharing my list of trusted vendors, working with you to craft a timeline for a seamless wedding celebration, handling all those family photos with ease to sharing all of my tips throughout your planning process, I’ll be with you on this journey.
I am the wealth of knowledge you dreamed about. I am your guide to crafting a Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine-worthy gallery that will make you want to open your album every day and relive your wedding celebration.

WELCOME
GET READY FOR A GOOD TIME!
All of it – your big day, working together – I want to spoil you with amazing photos, moments captured, and a meet-you-where-you-are-at experience so that you feel comfy with me, and I, you.
Let’s get to know each other, hang out, and send funny GIFs via text. I’m HERE FOR YOU!
I want you to know how much we LOVE our photos! I literally can’t have more than a day or so without relooking at the entire album. You captured the day and our love so beautifully.
Just as important as the final photos, we want to thank you so much for your excitement and kindness throughout our entire day (and during the engagement shoot). We feel so lucky to have had you with us – you put us at ease through the entire experience. We would love to have you with us for our future important events!

Engagement Sessions
CELEBRATING A SEASON
Unless you’re a model, being photographed probably feels a little awkward. I do this for a living and I still always feel a little out of place when we have our photos taken every year.
I am a big fan of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how we pose. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits – which is why we’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time
Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, I’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding.
An engagement session includes the following things:
2h coverage at the location of your choice*
Planning, styling, and location assistance
30+ fine art images edited in my signature style in both colors and black & white
Online gallery with unlimited downloads
PDF Filling with loads of information about what to wear, how to prepare and more!

Handcrafted Albums
THE PERFECT WAY TO REMEMBER YOUR WEDDING DAY
The wedding album documents the most important day of your life with elegance, charm, and sophistication. Having a wedding album is a MUST because it is the best way to relive your most meaningful memories. It’s your first family heirloom.
You can sit with your loved ones, flip through pages, and travel back in time to when you both decided to tie the knot. As a photographer, I aim to design an album that will depict your epic celebration.
When it comes to wedding albums; high-quality printing, amazing craftsmanship, aesthetic intricate details, and the quality of images matter the most to me. My albums feature a beautifully crafted linen cover with an option to upgrade to a leather cover.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me to discuss any questions. Together we will craft your first family heirloom.
Each album included 20 pages (10 spreads)

With the exception of printing errors, all albums are non-returnable. Albums may be ordered anytime before or after the wedding day. Please reach out for current holiday deadlines.
Ashley was amazing! We had SO much fun having her as our photographer for our engagement and wedding.
Ashley is 1000% the kind of person you want to share your special day with!!

tHE pROCESS
Step 01
Take your time to decide which packages and services suit you perfectly for your wedding day. Don’t worry about the add-ons. Extra coverage can be added up until the day of your wedding.
Step 02
It’s time to schedule a meeting or call! Share with me your aesthetical expectations, ideas, dreams, and wishes, and let me know if you have any questions. After the meeting, I will send you a contract. Sign the contract and pay a deposit. The final invoice after the wedding day includes the additional hours, extra coverage, and add-ons.
Step 03
In the months leading up to your day, we will be in contact often. I am here to help and guide you through the process. You will fill out a questionnaire to make sure I have all the info I need so I can be as prepared as possible. I will help you craft your family shot list and work with your planner to build a timeline that will fit you and your day perfectly.
Step 04
4-2 weeks before the wedding, we discuss these details again from the questionnaire and address any changes. These steps are vital to have a stress-free wedding.
Step 05
Your wedding weekend has arrived! In between your rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, we will capture a few minutes of portraits, after which we will head to your welcome party!
Step 06
“The day you’ve been planning for months is here! I’ll arrive early on-site to get prepared. I’ll capture your day in a candid style while stepping in and directing when I need to, such as directing family photos or guiding you and your mom into the right light when you’re stepping into your gown. I’ll also walk you and your partner through posing when it comes time for portraits. At the end, you can party the night away!”
Step 07
The week following your wedding celebration I’ll deliver a preview gallery of 50 or more images. After that I’ll be working on your full gallery. When I have it done and ready for you, I’ll send you an email with all of the information. Then you and your partner can snuggle up on the couch and enjoy reliving your wedding weekend.
Step 08
Once you’ve had a chance to take in all of your beautiful images, we can start the process of designing you album. I will guide your through the whole process. I design the album then you will also have full access to make changes to every spread according to your preference.

Frequently
asked QUESTIONS
Q:
WE LOVE YOUR WORK AND WANT TO BOOK. WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP?
A:
After a meeting, I will put together an individual wedding package, which I can specifically address your wishes, needs, and ideas. As soon as I have received your signed contract and the 25% deposit for your wedding reportage, your desired date will be firmly reserved for you.
Q:
HOW MANY PHOTOS CAN WE EXPECT AND WHEN WILL WE GET THEM BACK?
A:
The general rule of thumb is to expect a turnaround time of 6 to 8 weeks and up to 12 weeks during peek season. You will receive a preview gallery of 50+ images the week following your wedding.
I am a firm believe in QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. The number of images may vary depending on the size and season of your wedding festivities but is roughly 40-80 images per hour. After your wedding, I make a qualitative selection of your images, making sure only the best (plus a few bloopers) make the cut. The final editing includes adjustment of lightening, contrast, and alignment of your pictures with special attention to natural true-to-life color correction. You will receive your images in high resolution in digital jpg format ready for you to download and print.
Q:
DO WE NEED A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?
A:
I recommend that you also opt for a second shooter if 80+ guests are attending your wedding day. This is the best way if you don’t want to miss out on any candid moments or special details. For example, when we are off capturing stunning bridal portraits, the second shooter can be at cocktail hour capturing candids of your guests!
Q:
WHEN DO YOU CHARGE TRAVEL FEES FOR WEDDINGS?
A:
If you’re planning a destination wedding all fees are always added into a custom wedding collections so there won’t be any added hidden cost. I am no stranger to travel and happy to go wherever! My passport is always ready to go!
Q:
WHEN SHOULD WE SHEDULE OUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION?
A:
I’m honored that you love my work and would like to work with me.
I find so much value and joy in offering an exceptional experience to all of my couples. I do this by limiting the number of couples that I work with. Allowing me to take extra time and care for each one of my couples.
So if your are ready to book or have questions please reach out ASAP.
