ments we requested, but she took pictures of things we didn’t even think of and they turned out truly amazing. Our photos are the perfect balance of posed and candid with not a cheesy photo in sight. We are SO pleased with how our pictures turned out and are obsessed with every single one. We would highly recommend Kim Ashford to any couple in need of a photographer. She was so efficient and quick with the group family photos too. Literal perfection!

We were beyond pleased with our experience with Ashford Halley Studios! From the first moment we spoke about pricing to the very last pic that was snapped at our wedding, everythin...
g was perfect! Jennifer was quick to respond and answer all questions! She was always flexible with our needs and scheduling of appts. Our wedding was in New Orleans and we are from out of town so she offered excellent guidance on where to take our engagement pics. She listened to all of our thoughts and our vision, then executed them all with perfection! Her team was professional, fun and extremely patient with all the personalities we were surrounded by on our big day. She made the entire process comfortable and easy! We will always refer her to anyone we can! I hope that we have another opportunity to work with her again in the future bc we will not hesitate to use her again! The value and quality of service is next to none!

love working with them! On the big day Kim did an amazing job making sure everything ran smoothly and the shots that she got are pure perfection! I have gotten so many compliments on my wedding photos and I couldn’t be happier! I would highly recommend Ashford Halley to anyone and everyone!

ed to capture everyone's emotions so perfectly, and mostly that they managed to somehow get a photo of all of my friends and family! We also have to mention their excellent and creative use of lighting and composition. They created works of art, not just photographs. The last thing to comment on is that they are experienced professionals and their knowledge and help was invaluable to us when planning our big day.
Besides saying "yes" to the man of my dreams, booking Jenny and Kim for our wedding was the best decision I could have ever made! Not only did they help us roll with the punches du...
ring the shutdown that postponed our wedding, but they made the new version feel just as special as what we had originally planned. They have a gift for capturing moments you'll want to remember forever, and I still get tears in my eyes when I flip through our perfectly curated album. It isn't mentioned in their packages, but Jenny literally took over our "day of" logistics and got everyone/everything in line when I just couldn't process one more stressor. She met me right where I was in the middle of a meltdown and ensured the day went on seamlessly. It was about so much more for her than just taking our pictures, and I'll appreciate that forever. She and Kim went above and beyond for us and I highly recommend you book them as well. Thank you Jenny and Kim for being such a massive part of our special day, we love you!
Jenny & Kim are the BEST everrrr! They are so easy & so fun to work with & they gave us the most beautiful memories of our special day!! I can’t thank them enough for everything - ...
you’ll NEVER go wrong with choosing them to capture your special moments! Be sure to check out their new BOUDOIR portfolio, too ;)

ble to have them edited so quickly! The day of the wedding both Kim and Jenny were awesome. Kim caught great pictures of my bridesmaids and I getting ready. She was so relaxed and casual with taking incredible pictures. Jenny was with my husband and took some great fun pictures! Hands down one of the best vendors we had and I cannot give them enough credit for how awesome they were during the whole wedding process!
Words cannot express how amazing Kim and Jennifer were!! They knew exactly what to say to make us laugh and get GREAT shots. They really work with you on what styles you like. I di...

hem!! Both Kim and Jennifer were amazing to work with. For the wedding they were able to capture everything we wanted, without being pushy and wanting us to take pictures constantly! It was perfect and all we ever wanted! We LOVE all of our pictures. You can't go wrong with booking them!!!

atie exceeded all expectations. On our special day, it became clear that we were in good hands. We didn't have to stress about anything. They were on top of everything. Our once in a lifetime photos are everything we had hoped for and so much more. After extensive research and thorough photographer shopping, we knew we had made the right choice! Thanks again for everything, Jennifer and Katie!

erfection. She directed all the shots at our wedding, which was such a relief.......and she captured every precious moment and more! You feel like you relive every moment of your wedding when you get your pictures back. She pays attention to every little detail. Incredibly informative, efficient, honest, professional, organized, creative, focused, and witty......genuine expertise! Your pictures are flawless. She has excellent recommendations for scenery, poses, hand/body placement. A "go-getter" attitude. She ensures you and everyone else looks their best in the photo....fixing your hair, dress, hands.....telling you how to stand so you will look the most flattering. Working with Ashford Halley has the been the most enjoyable experience. Hands down, perfection. Highly Recommend!

age that I do not know how I will narrow down which pictures to print! But outside of amazing pictures, these ladies were great. They were both very professional, easy-going, and always extremely prompt to answer any questions I had! I highly recommend them to everyone!

wedding happened to be on the weekend that Hurricane Barry was supposed to hit. Kim called the week before to see if we were okay and kept in touch throughout the rest of the week to make sure everything was on track. Most importantly, the pictures were absolutely stunning. Looking through them, we were really re-living our wedding day and have some beautiful memories that we can look back on forever. Highly, highly recommend Ashford-Halley.
This company is AMAZING! I used them for my wedding in June 2019. Of course being a bride can be hectic, and it’s imperative that we have a lifetime of moments captured. Ash ford H...
alley did just that. The professionalism was outstanding. They arrived on time and went with the flow of how everything transpired on wedding day. Honestly, I was flabbergasted on the pictures I received. They captured moments I wouldn’t had ever thought of. I love the fact that they don’t take pictures of people just eating because that can be very displeasing. Neither did they take photos of people such as saying, “hey you three take a photo!” No they captured moments such as me hugging my mother, me crying during my father daughter dance, and the multiple smiles of joy by everyone. The photographers went above and beyond with their creativity. For the guys, the photographer chose a very decorative area and had the groomsmen to pose and take photos. They look classic. For me, a photographer stood on top of a chair to capture me looking down in the mirror as I was getting my make up done. To top it off, she got on top of our convertible car to capture a photo from a downward angle as we kiss. I MEAN EPIC! They were truly outstanding. I don’t think they’ll ever understand the level of satisfaction we have from them making the most important day of our lives thus far so memorable. I wouldn’t write this review if I wasn’t truly overwhelmed. Please book with them, no matter the costs. I promise you won’t regret it. I look forward to booking them for every future memory I want captured. In addition, their personalities were icing on the cake. They were professional, yet very friendly. Everyone felt so comfortable with them. They actually felt like friends.
Ashford Halley was recommended to us by one of my girlfriends (already a good sign). We absolutely LOVED working with them! Jennifer was so reassuring and kept us at ease throughou...
t the entire process. When she says, "I've got this," she means it! We were so pleased with ALL our photos. She took engagement photos, bridal photos, and was with us on the big day. If you're getting married in the Baton Rouge/New Orleans area, do yourself a favor and hire Ashford Halley. It was one of the best decisions we made!
When I first got engaged, I had no idea who to choose for a photographer. Ashford-Halley’s name kept getting brought up when I would ask people about photographers. A friend from h...
igh school used them as their wedding photographer and also told me how great they were. I decided to go to a bridal show in Baton Rouge one weekend and ended up seeing them there. After hearing so many great things about Ashford-Halley and then seeing some of their work at the bridal show, I decided to use them as my photographer. I’m SO SO SO glad I chose them. Everyone was right! Not only did my pictures turn out amazing, but Jennifer and Kim were both so easy to work with. Jennifer took our engagement pictures and made my husband and I feel super comfortable the entire time. Both Jennifer and Kim took our wedding pictures. They made sure to capture every moment of our wedding. I LOVE all of my pictures and would definitely recommend them to anyone!
I have worked with Kim Ashford for years! She's taken pictures of everyone that I love! I wouldn't have considered anyone but Ashford-Haley for my wedding! They make everyone feel ...

What a great team of photographers. Ashford Halley was unbelievable across all points. I am particularly grateful for them helping each transition throughout the night go smoothly....
They were super efficient and quick with time which is a huge bonus for someone like me who gets anxious over being late. They were money on the spot with every request I asked of them. My pictures were delivered on time, with specific and detailed instructions. My husband and I love our photos!!!!

ng from the smallest details to the energy on the dance floor. You can literally feel how much fun we had when looking at our photos. Jennifer was easy to talk with via email and/or text and was so fun to have around! We lucked out and also had Kim as our second photographer on our wedding day. You seriously can't go wrong with these two!

estions you have. On the day of the wedding they did such a great job with getting all of the group pictures done so quickly. Their calm personalities were such a treat considering how crazy it can get on the wedding day. Their work is amazing and I'm glad that I chose them to be my photographers.
Ashford Halley was wonderful. They were quick, efficient, kind, and helpful for our photos on the wedding day. They gave great cues for my husband and I to make our photos come out...

nnest and most memorable moments were caught on camera that most people didn’t catch when they happened! They listen to everything you say and were so much fun to work with!! I would definitely recommend Jennifer and her partner Kim for anything!
If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!! The Ashford Halley team was absolutely amazing through everything. From helping us decide on which wedding package was the best for...
us to directing us the day of our wedding. They managed to wrangle both of our families (which is not an easy task!) and took all of our group pictures with speed and precision and they all turned out wonderful. The best thing about them was they did exactly what my husband and I asked for regardless of what anyone else wanted...including our crazy mothers (who we love)! I seriously can't thank them enough for capturing great memories and helping make the process fun and enjoyable. Thank you so much ladies!!
When our original photographer told us 3 months before our wedding that she wouldn't be able to accommodate us, we were very worried that we wouldn't be able to find a good photogr...
apher on such short notice. Fortunately, she gave a glowing recommendation to Jennifer at Ashford-Halley as one of the best photographers around. Working with Jennifer in the months prior to the wedding was a breeze and a pleasure, and the wedding day was no exception. Very professional and easy to work with, Jennifer and her assistant helped everything go smoothly. We received the photos just under 6 weeks after the wedding day (per contract), and couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommended!
My entire experience with Ashford Halley was amazing! They were both so sweet and made my whole experience very easy. Best of all, my pictures came out perfect! I am so thankful I ...
chose them as my wedding photographer and I highly recommend them as yours!
I first got to work with Jennifer when we met to shoot my engagement photos. Since this was a destination wedding, everything was done over the phone. When we did meet, I felt like...
I’d known her forever and she knew exactly what types of photos we were aiming for in the French Quarter. They were perfect! And as for the wedding, I could not have been in better hands on my wedding day. Not only did Jennifer and her team capture every moment, but they also took charge when my wedding coordinator was slacking off. She basically ran the entire wedding behind the scenes and behind the lens. Seriously, my wedding would have fallen apart if it weren’t for Jennifer. Not only did she save the day, but she also captured the moments I will cherish for a lifetime.
The photographers were professional and super organized from the start. They had so many helpful tips and suggestions and ensured I had photos of everything important during my bi...

t only did things go great the day of the wedding but for the engagement photos and Bridal’s as well! Her packages for photos are great and definitely reasonably priced. If you are looking for a photographer I highly recommend them!

I am so grateful we had Jennifer and her go-with-the-flow personality and professionalism on our wedding day. There were so many photographers to choose from, but I'm so glad we fo...
llowed the advice of friends and went with Ashford Halley. I've been in (and to) many weddings and have not seen such a perfect balance of easygoing and getting things done. I trusted that Jennifer and her assistant would get everything we wanted and I wouldn't have to worry about missing any photos. As in many weddings, things did not all go exactly as planned on our day - people showed up late for photos, I forgot the bouquets for the first look, and more details that might have stressed me out, but Jennifer's ability to adjust to those setbacks helped me relax a lot. Thank you so much for that.
I CANNOT say enough about these SUPER professional ladies! The photos came out absolutely stunning. After returning from our Hawaii honeymoon our photos were ready (prompt and on ...
time!!) and we got to re-live the BEST DAY of our lives. Thank you, Ashford-Halley Photography for capturing the special moments of our favorite day.

ed. When the day came, they were perfect. Did not miss a beat and made everything so simple! They even helped coordinate where I needed to be and when. I cannot say enough great things about this photography. I jus got married this weekend, so I haven't seen the photos yet, but I'm sure they will be great. The price is a bit high but definitely worth it for a stress free photographer!
