Ashley was incredible to work with in general. She was punctual, professional, and always knew how to get the best shots even though my wife and I had no idea what to do. Ashley was amazing at capturing our most emotional and beautiful moments ...

on our wedding day, and I still tear up looking at the photos to this day. Her skill and talent as a photographer are above and beyond, and we can’t recommend her enough.

My fiance and I had never done a photo shoot before and really did not know what to expect at all. Ashley made us feel comfortable and relaxed during the entire shoot. She captured moments that were very natural and did not feel or look 'staged...

' as many other engagement shoots I have seen tend to be. Ashley was such a multitasker as she was capturing photos, trying to get the attention of our dog and dodging traffic/pedestrians all at the same time! We are so happy with our photos and would 100% recommend her.

Ashley was amazing to work with. She met with me via Zoom and then again with both me and my now husband to ensure she knew exactly what we were looking for from a photographer. I explained that I really didn't want too many posed pictures sinc...

e I thought they tended to look fake. Ashley listed to my wants, and incorporated that into the "posed" pictures we did take. She managed to ensure we still looked like we were alive even in the more stiff family shots. We had Ashely as our main photographer and Candice as our second shooter. Candice went with the gentlemen in the morning for their getting ready and captured all the fun and excitement. Between the two of them, they probably took over a thousand pictures. The final pictures were delivered through a secure website that was really easy to use and share with others. I am so glad I hired Ashley as my wedding photographer. It was one less thing I had to stress about on the day of, as she clearly knew what she was doing and how to take the best photos.

In addition to shooting weddings, I work as a photography professor at Drexel University and Moore College of Art & Design.
