A. Blake Photography

y at ease. She told me about her work, asked me what my wedding was going to be like and what I envisioned. I had no idea what I wanted and I had no idea how to even be photographed. I am a fairly self-conscious person, I don’t have great self-esteem and I don’t like myself in photos. Ashley showed up on time, was sooooooo sweet, accommodating and professional. She made me feel beautiful, which is hard for anyone to do. Still, I thought I wouldn’t look great, I started picking myself apart, that is, until I saw the final photos. I looked amazing. It’s not something I can ever really say naturally, but I looked beautiful. The way she captured the lighting, the background, the posing. She was incredible and on the most stressful day of my life, she made it a breeze. Ashley is the best there is, and I plan on using her for all my future photography needs. To capture your special moment, you cannot get better than Ashley, I absolutely love her!!!

throughout the process. We utilized Ashley for both our engagement and wedding photos and we could not be happier with the final products. I've been to weddings in the past where the photographers are so in-your-face throughout the night taking photos, but after a certain point, they did a great job of staying behind the scenes, while still getting a ton of amazing shots! How do they get the shots when I can't see them?! Magic, probably. We would book Ashley again a million times over. Cannot thank her enough for her work!

energy with her. When I was getting ready in the bridal suite, I was a total ball of nerves and honestly couldn't calm down enough to have a normal conversation. Cue Ashley walking in and changing the vibe from the most anxious afternoon of my life, to the genuinely happiest day of my life. She is all smiles, high energy, and she really made me feel so prepared, gorgeous, and just ready to rock and roll. She also had my back. I told her I was self-conscious about something, and she made that part of me look great throughout the night. Just a sweet touch I appreciated. <3 Her pictures are AMAZING and I couldn't be happier with them. During the planning process, she was super responsive and detail-oriented down to the minute of where she needed to be to get things done. She works hard and she does not mess around when it's time to round up everyone for pictures and keep things moving along smoothly.

eels in love with our wedding pictures. Her comforting smile and her energetic attitude brought out the best in us, making us truly laugh and smile throughout all of our engagement and wedding photos. Ashley has a way of capturing light, movement, and emotions so well that when I look back at my wedding photos, I can truly relive the day. I am so obsessed with the photos, I can't thank Ashley enough for capturing the best day of our lives!

people, we narrowed our search by looking at reviews and Ashley’s were superb (not surprisingly!). Then, we looked at style. If you want a photographer that has an uncanny ability to keep people as a central theme to each picture while introducing sweeping panoramic views, intimate interactions with nature and creative uses of light, look no further than Ashley Blake. The finished photographic product is simply amazing. But, here’s the bonus…you also get to work with Ashley. She is heaven-sent! She has a wonderful spirit and a casual style that will keep anyone at ease on what can be a day filled with a lot of nervous energy. She provides very clear direction and works quickly, capturing a multitude of fantastic, differentiated shots in mere seconds. During your event, she’ll blend into the woodwork and capture amazing moments. Ashley is also respectful of a bride and groom’s time during the event, pulling you away sparingly to capture an ideal lighting opportunity, returning you quickly to the party. She remembered from when we first interviewed her that we had an interest in some special nighttime shots and she went out of her way, unbeknownst to us, to set up an extremely creative night tableau using specialized lighting...unbelievable! Simply put, Ashley Blake is a consummate professional and you WILL be thankful for your decision to hire her.

n let us shoot with our dog! Ashley was the reason our wedding went so smoothly. As soon as she showed up she held us to our schedule. She made me feel absolutely stunning and had so many great ideas. Her assistant was a blast to work with as well. Not to mention, her photos are beautiful and you get hem back quickly! Ashley does such a beautiful job that she doesn't need to fix up her photos. Just by checking out her blog, you know her work is beautiful. Take my word for it, Ashley is the best around!

s any type of photos taken. You really won't be disappointed.

bsolutely love every single photo, and we are not sure how we are going to pick which ones to put in our album! One lovely thing Ashley does is give you the option to purchase the digital copies (and rights!) to your photos, so that you are free to use them how you choose! We currently have one gorgeous canvas hanging in our living room from our engagement photos, and plan to add to it with wedding photos! Ashley works hard to get a variety of different types of shots, and is very efficient, so you don't feel like you are standing around all day taking photos. She is great at making you feel comfortable and relaxed, so that the real you is showing through in your pictures. Absolutely a wonderful experience, I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

s super understanding, kept us on track for pictures, and really captured our happiness the whole day! We were so lucky to have her! Love Alex and Paige

riendly, and was a hit with all of our guests. HOWEVER, if I had to choose the best quality of Ashley Blake - it is her photos. They are amazing. EVERY single person that has seen them has been beyond impressed. My sister, my mother, the bridesmades - THE BRIDE - all of them are beyond thrilled with the photos. After going through our wedding experience - it is clear - you CANNOT skimp on some things. Photography is probably one of the most important things you can spend in your budget because it's what makes the event last forever. Blake - was NOT overly expensive - she was comparable with everyone else. I'm sure you could get a cousin - or an aunt or a friend to do this job - but I'm telling you - as a groom - she is the best. We got our pictures within a week. My sister got her's in 3 months. Ours were 10 times better - we paid less - and my sister was saying how she wished Blake would have done hers. Ashley Blake photography - is simply the best. Sincerely, The groom

ted and made the day stress free. On the day of she kept everyone on schedule, but also happy! My husband hates taking photos and Ashley made sure it was not painful for him at all. Our photos arrived quickly and exceeded all of our expectations. ll

artistic and contemporary style. After searching high and low we found Ashley Blake and am I ever so thankful that we did. Her work is amazing and I completely love all the photos she has taken for us. The engagement shoot went by so quickly and was so much fun. We loved how she captured the sunlight which created such a warm glow in our pictures. It was exactly what we were looking for! Our wedding day was more than we could have asked for. Ashley was such a joy to work with. She easily fit in with our group and was soon joking around with the bridal party all while capturing such wonderful photos. We just recently got to see our pictures from our big day and I was so ecstatic with the job she did. We have gotten nothing but rave reviews on all our pictures. She truly was able to capture all the fun and love that was felt that day. Ashley we cannot thank you enough for all your hard work. When I look at these photos for years to come I will remember how special our day and it’s all thanks to you.

ready for guests to view within a week. She encouraged me to get the album completed quickly so we could give the parents their albums during the holidays. She took AMAZING photos of us and immortalized all of the small moments of the wedding.;Just let her know what you want and she'll do it. Don't expect her to be psychic.
