Thank you so much for reaching out to me about your upcoming special day! Congratulations again on sealing the deal - that's awesome news! There's a whole lot of starry-eyed happiness and clinking glasses in your future, and I'd be absolutely thrilled to be a part of it. You know, as a wedding photographer, I'm all about capturing that raw, unfiltered connection between two souls, really getting to the heart of your love story. So, let's chat more and see how we can make some magic happen together!
I AM SO HAPPY YOU ARE HERE
Let me tell your love story the way it unfolds
My storytelling approach to wedding photography is your perfect match for capturing your special day. I don't just take photos; I weave the moments, emotions, and love into a visual narrative. Every image is a chapter of your unique love story, and together, we'll create a beautiful, heartfelt, and timeless tale to treasure forever. With me, your wedding day memories will come to life in a way that truly reflects your love and joy.
HI, I'M
I have always been creatively minded and had a deep love for true connection between humans, the unabashed real type of connection. I believe, at the end of the day, these true moments, even the smallest ones, are what mean the most.
Weddings are filled with these tiny moments and the fact that I get to capture them, stop time and hand them onto you to be remembered forever means more than you may ever know.
Chat soon, I can't wait to hear all about your ideas and plans for the day.
A creative soul with a love for romance
KIND WORDS
"Were so, so, SO glad that we had Ashley as our wedding photographer. She had such a fun energy and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed in front the camera, especially on a day where nerves were running high. The photos speak for themselves; we are beyond happy and have no words. Thank you, Ashley, hands down the best investment we could've made."

Film Add on (4 rolls of fun)
Wedding photography is a beautiful art, and we love it. But it's not the only way to capture a couple's love story. You can also add drone footage to any wedding photography collection, and we're here to help you do it!
Drone footage is a great way to convey emotion with a different perspective. It's also a great way to get in those hard-to-reach spots or show off the ceremony venue from an angle that wouldn't be possible with just ground-level shots.
The possibilities are endless—and so are the amazing sights you'll be able to share with your family and friends through drone footage.

drone Footage
As much as I'd love to clone myself and be in two spots at once, it's a lot easier to get extra coverage if you choose to have a second shooter on the day. This is a particularly good idea if:
- You have a large guest list, and want to make sure we get shots of everyone that's there on the day
- You and your partner are getting ready at the same time, and the locations are far apart
- You're wanting photos of the ceremony and reception styling, prior to the arrival of your guests.
Basically, the second shooter will act as my wingman/ wing woman, doubling the coverage of your wedding. We'll team up to make sure that everything is captured, from start to finish, locations far apart. Lastly having a second shooter will ensure photos are taken of the ceremony and reception styling, undisturbed by guests.
+$400 for a second shooter
Second shooter
The perfect solution to cover multiple locations or big weddings.
ENGAGEMENT SHOOT
Authentically capturing just the two of you, being yourselves
Package Includes
How many professionally taken photos do you and your partner have, ones that you really love and can fill your home with?
An engagement shoot is a chance for us to capture some really beautiful, candid photos of you and your partner in a relaxed environment. Just the two of you, being you.
Plus, if you're a little camera-shy, it's the perfect opportunity for you to practice being comfortable in front of the camera, in the lead up to your wedding day. Either way, I promise that we'll have a lot of fun while we're at it.

TIMELINE EXAMPLES
I work alongside you or your wedding planner to ensure we stay on time. Your timeline is extremely important for your wedding – this will keep everything in order and in a timely manner. The sun waits for no one, so this just helps us make sure we get everything covered before the sun sets on us.
Here's a brief look at how to best structure your special wedding day. This is a very basic, generalized example.
Your wedding will likely change depending on the specific events you and your significant other will want to include. Remember, we can build your timeline to fit exactly what you need for your day! My goal is to handle your timeline so you don't have to. You tell me what you want within your questionnaire and I will take it from there.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I'm based in Chicago, IL but I will absolutely travel to wherever love takes me
You bet I do! Nothing excited me more than the opportunity to shoot a destination wedding or elopement. If you're thinking of taking your celebrations outside of IL, please get in touch so we can chat about the finer details.
A million times YESS!!! LGBTQIA+, no matter how you identify and regardless of how you define your relationship, I'd love to be a part of your wedding day. Love is love and I'm 100% here for it!
If you and your partner are thinking of skipping the fuss and running off to do a private ceremony with just the two of you or a handful of your nearest and dearest, I'd be absolutely honoured to document your intimate ceremony. Our elopement packages start at 4 hours' coverage, so get in touch if you'd like to learn more.
You'll receive over 600-800 photos, depending on how many hours we shoot and how jam-packed your wedding day is!
Firstly, I'll send you a handful of sneak peek shots a couple of days after your wedding. 6 to 10 weeks later, you'll receive a link to your online gallery and slide slow to watch and relive your wedding day.
It will take roughly 6 to 10 weeks to receive your final wedding photos. I put a lot of love and care into perfecting each image, which is why it'll take me a little bit more time to deliver your final images. If you'd like your photos sooner, please ask me about the rush fee.
I've got a session guide for you that goes over this and so much more!
This has never happened and will NEVER happen. However, if it did, I have contacts all over the world that will be able to step in. These are other talented photographers who will take good care of you.
Yes, we can organize to split your payments into four installments. Just let me know if this would suit you.
Of course, I'd love for you to print your favourite photos! You can easily order photos prints through your online gallery.
Life is complicated and the unexpected is to be expected. The deposit is non refundable as this helps to protect my business due to turning away all other booking for your wedding date. I hope you understand that deposit is insurance for my business to stay afloat in the event of a cancellation.
Yes, I do! I have come to work with some of the top wedding vendors. If you would like a specific recommendations, just reach out and I'm sure I will have some suggestions I can send you.
I require 30% retainer to secure your spot on my calendar, and the remaining 70% is due 3 months in advance for weddings, 2 months in advance for shoots. You can split these payments (up to 3 payments) if you’d like to help make it more affordable. I’m happy to work with your schedule!
She captured our day so beautifully and we are so happy with our video and photos. Ashley helped so much with the planning process which was truly above and beyond. I can't recommend highly enough. One of a kind! We were so lucky to have her as our photographer.
