Ashley Abel Photography

of each couple in her photos, and we were no exception. She perfectly preserved the happiest day of our lives, and we will enjoy her work for years to come. Her prices are reasonable, she turns around pictures in record time, and she goes the extra mile for her clients, even sending us a cute photo-ornament for Christmas! She also took my professional headshots on an extremely tight timeframe. (I needed to cut my hair after the wedding and then send out the headshots immedately after.) She kept going until we had the perfect photo, and I cannot thank her enough for her part in advancing my career. We will 100% use her for all of our photography needs going forward, and we hope that you do, too!

big day. They were organized and directed my husband and I as well as our families and bridal party with exactly which photos needed to be taken and when. She immediately sent us our photos, our canvas and everything we requested. I love Ashley, she is so down to earth and truly listens to what you want. The best part is since she’s so organized, you don’t spend the whole day taking pictures, you spend it with the person you are marrying and my husband didn’t see me until I walked down the aisle.

us with recommendations for our other vendors as well! I can’t say enough great things about Ashley Abel Photography!

shley could not have been a better fit for us! She actually listened to everything I told her about what we liked, didn't like, felt comfortable with, etc. and did not ONCE question our opinions or try to force something for her vision. She took her style and profession expertise and made it work with our comfort level and ideas without hesitation. I actually texted with her more than I talk to some of my friends because she truly was dedicated to making sure we didn't have another experience like we did with the first photographer. HER WORK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF! She captured the most beautiful moments and the most hilarious (Brother-in-law in a wedding dress? You got it! Horse nuzzling us with her wonky eyes? You bet!) I don't know how I am going to narrow down the pictures to 350 for our album because I love all of them but that is a sign that she did her job! I cannot recommend her more and I can't wait to use her again in the future!

ocess but the photography aspect was never one of them because I immediately knew we were in great hands with Ashley! She communicated with us and provided clear guidance throughout the whole process and always displayed such a high level of enthusiasm with each interaction, that her sincere passion and commitment to capturing the special moments of our big day radiated through her words and her excitement was contagious. Ashley did our engagement photos back in November 2020 and they totally exceeded our expectations. And then she photographed our wedding on June 4th, 2021, and let me tell you, we are completely BLOWN AWAY by the photos. They are absolutely stunning – I just can’t stop looking at them!!! Ashley’s attention to detail is unmatched and her creativity and work ethic are inspiring. Ashley has the ability to give direction while simultaneously making you feel so comfortable and as a result, the photos feel so authentic and really capture the essence of my husband’s and my personality and relationship. She truly has a gift! Ashley and her second photographer, Sam, did an incredible job capturing all of the important moments throughout our wedding day. The posed shots are beautiful and the candid shots really capture all of the excitement, fun, and raw emotions from the day. Ashley and Sam are both so talented and they managed to take photos of everything while also blending right in with the guests so that you almost forgot they were there! When I look at the candid photos, I feel transported right back to my wedding day and that’s an amazing feeling! THANK YOU SO MUCH, Ashley & Sam, for all of your hard work and for documenting our wedding day so perfectly!! I highly recommend Ashley for any and all of your photography needs! You won’t regret it!!

't there and took more photos than I thought anyone could in that amount of time. She was a pleasure to have at my wedding. pleasure to have

tographer!

. Ashley made us both feel comfortable and on top of the world during our engagement session. After getting back our photos we were even more excited for our big day! Unfortunately Covid ruined not only our first date but also our second date and Ashley was a pleasure to work with during all of the chaotic date changes. When our wedding day finally came, Ashley and Sam were nothing short of AMAZING. They made sure to capture all of the amazing moments through out the whole day and were an absolute pleasure to be with. We knew, that day, that our photos were going to be absolutely beautiful. Fast forward a couple weeks and I cannot stop looking through our album over and over. Obsessed is an understatement! Ashley captured every moment perfectly. We are so happy we chose her.

comfortable and completely as ease taking pictures together, something we had never done together professionally. It really spoke volumes for both of us and we knew she would make us feel like that on our wedding day. Sadly we were one of the many "Covid couples" who had to unfortunately postpone their wedding, not once but 4 times. Ashley was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING through the whole thing. She worked with us through each reschedule, and never ever made it difficult for us. She was kind and understanding, and just truly an amazing professional. Then came the wedding day, she and her second photographer Sam were just everything we needed and could ask for. From helping the guys get ready, to waiting for us at Lighthouse Point because our shuttle was late with smiles made our day that much easier. She listened and took the pictures we asked for and even made sure we were outside to capture the beautiful sunset we were blessed to have on our wedding day. Not only being her personality a reason to hire her, but our pictures are GORGEOUS!! I personally have looked at them so many times already! We can't express how much we love them, all of them! Ashley is amazing, and we are so glad and happy she was able to be our photographer!!

QUICK! We actually got to enjoy some of cocktail hour ( which was important to us). Definitely would work with her again for other events!

ve known her forever and she made sure to capture all the moment that mattered the most to us including the most heartwarming photos of my 2 year old son and 1 year old nephew ! We received our photos back within 2 weeks and even gotten a small sneak peek while she finished them. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars for her service ! I would highly recommend choosing her as your photographer!

e pictures around Yale's campus in Downtown New Haven. Our engagement photos were BEAUTIFUL. Then, when it came to our wedding, Ashley was so flexible when we decided to change our plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was able to photograph our small ceremony on our original date and she will photograph our large reception later this year. She was quick to send us all of our pictures and every single picture is AMAZING! I have them displayed all over my house! If you are considering whether or not to hire Ashley, DO IT! She is fantastic at what she does, and is professional and flexible along the way. We can't wait for her to photograph our reception later this year!

so comfortable and relaxed. She captured every moment of our wedding and these photos I am going to cherish for the rest of my life. If you want beautiful intimate photos, Ashley is the one!! Thank you so much, Ashley.

ss and will also be photographing our big reception next year. We love our photos and she got them to us so fast. All around great person and great to work with!

We are in love with our photos! They all came out beautifully and will allow us to relive our day for years to come!

eel at ease from start to finish. You cannot go wrong by going with her.

y don’t feel they’re being bombarded by a photographer the whole night! She goes above and beyond! Hell my bridesmaids and I couldn’t get my dress on because of a button and she put her camera down for a second (only time she get did btw) and helped button me up! 😂😂 Talk about dedication! She’s organized on time and makes you feel like you’re being photographed by your long lost friend and not just a stranger you met on your wedding day. 100/100 would recommend.

o personable and friendly. Everyone in the bridal party kept saying how great they were to work with. And our pictures... they were just perfect! Truly I couldn’t stop looking at them. When we shared them we got so many compliments. I highly recommend you use her!

sults speak for themselves. So happy we found her and will definitely be using her in the future!

mless and easy, and on the day of she captured all of the most important shots! We would totally recommend Ashley for your ceremony.

ment photos she made us feel very comfortable, as my husband and I have never had professional photos. Weeks leading up to our wedding day, Ashley was very organized and helpful in planning our timeline, which took a lot of stress off of me. On our wedding day, Ashley checked in often and was instrumental in capturing all of the wonderful moments. Seeing our photos, I was amazed - the detail, capturing our emotions, the talent! I love the pictures, and I can't say enough about Ashley and her team! Thank you Ashley and Sam for allowing me to relive one of my best days ever each time I look at my photos!!

ur wedding day! Ashley and her second shooter Sam knew exactly how to stage us and our wedding party without it ever feeling awkward. It was tons of fun and made our wedding day run so smoothly! We would HIGHLY recommend Ashley based on her exceptional work!

it. Every moment was captured beautifully !! Her packages are great and shes very easy to work with!

more than my husband and I could have ever dreamed of. She is so easy going and when I had ideas about something she was totally open and willing to try! I recommend Ashley to anyone who is looking for amazing pictures and reasonable pricing!

ommend her to anyone! She did my best friends wedding I was a part of and the photos and time spent with Ashley are unforgettable!

e wanted and doing everything she could to creatively make that happen. We are big Harry Potter fans so she made sure she found a place where we could add to that theme. She was great about letting us know her vision and what we should bring to help create the feel we were looking for. She was also so accommodating with including our dog in our photos and was so patient and diligent about making sure she got great shots of our precious pup! I was very nervous before the shoot because I never know how to pose for pictures, and can be extremely awkward but she was so helpful in telling us everything we needed to do...down to lifting our heads a slight angle, exactly what to do with our hands, and how to smile. Her personality and direction helped us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for ANY event you can possibly think of. Everything about our experience with her has been perfect so far and I'm confident it will continue that way. Our photos came out great (and that's coming from someone who hates every picture I've ever been in!), her communication is on point, and she got our photos back within a matter of days!! I cannot say enough good things about Ashley and her work.

t our engagement photos and made the experience so much fun. We appreciated Ashley’s love for animals as we had our two dogs in some of our engagement photos. Ashley was always very responsive to emails/ texts and made me feel at ease the day of the wedding. I never felt rushed around to take photos and I loved how relaxed yet professional she was. Ashley’s assistant, Sam is just as talented and they make a great team, feeding off of each other’s creative ideas. We got our wedding photos back in a timely manner and were blown away by how amazing they came out. She took so many photos and was able to capture every moment of our special day. I would definitely recommend Ashley not only as a wedding photographer but as a photographer for any special events that you want captured. We hope to work with her again in the future!

aspect of our wedding. Ashley has an amazing eye for great photo opportunities but let me add my own personal touch. The wedding party photos were smooth and it did not feel like a chore to take them. We received our digital photos a few weeks after the wedding and received our album very shortly there after. Looking through the album I felt like I was back at the wedding. Pricing was very reasonable upon comparison to other vendors-definitely a great choice!

requested she do 1000 more, and she willingly and kindly worked with me on whatever I wanted. I can not thank her enough for all she did! She captured every special moment that my husband and I shared, along with capturing all the fun our friends and family had. I would recommend Ashley to absolutely anyone! Her pictures are something I will cherish for the rest of my life!

ocial media accounts speak for themselves! From the beginning she made my husband and I feel super comfortable reaching out to her with questions. She was very responsive and always just a text away if we needed her. She checked in with us multiple times the days before the wedding and was extremely organized and helpful when creating our timeline for the day of the wedding. On the day of the wedding Ashley along with her second shooter Sam went above and beyond their duties to help us that day! We were amazed by our pictures, that we received not even a month later !! With the comfort and ease we felt using Ashley Abel Photography, it goes without saying that if your looking for a smooth and enjoyable experience you choose Ashley! We cant thank her and Sam enough for their hard work and beautiful pictures that showcase our special day perfectly! Thank you Ashley xox J&M

als we had come to life!! Picking Ashley Abel photography was by far the easiest choice of my entire wedding planning process! I fell in love when I met them at my brothers wedding and knew after seeing their pictures that I needed them for my own wedding! If you want an easy choice, go with Ashley Abel photography, I’m certain you won’t be disappointed!!

travel to NY for both our engagement pictures and for our wedding. She made myself and my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera and was fun to shoot with! On the day of the wedding she and her assistant were extremely professional and worked hard to get all of the shots we wanted. Our photographs are stunning and are a testament to her creativity and hard work. I can't thank her enough for being a part of our wedding and giving us photographs we will cherish forever. Thank you Ashely!!!

. What I also really enjoy about working with Ashley is how accessible she is. She's always responsive, which is a great comfort when you're dealing with the stress of planning a wedding. For our big day, she was very flexible with last minute changes and a soothing presence amidst the hustle and bustle. She also genuinely cares about all her clients. The excitement she had for our wedding mirrored my own. I highly recommend Ashley for all your wedding photography needs!

ey to anyone who wants a skilled photographer who will help make your special day even more enjoyable!

shley made the entire process feel so comfortable and laid back, but she was right there with all of her tips and tricks when my fiancé and I needed some guidance. She captured us for who we truly are and I am so thankful for that! We couldn’t be happier with our photos, which we will cherish forever!

erson to have around on such a big day. Before and after the wedding, Ashley was really easy to contact and communicate with. She was prompt in sharing photos with and was just a total pleasure all around. I highly recommend her!

ety Room in Hartford and also my engagement photos. The engagement photos were BEAUTIFUL and done under the cherry blossoms in New Haven. We used the photos for our save the date cards and guests absolutely loved them. Our ceremony was the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception followed by photos at Hartford City Hall. She and her second shooter Sam had amazing ideas, were genuinely excited about shooting our wedding, and accommodated any request we had for photos. It was a long, 10-hour day for them and not once did Ashley or Sam ever run out of steam. I can say, I’m itching to see how amazing these photos came out and would definitely recommend Ashley!

any type of photographs you may need, there isn’t one bad picture she can take.

ait to have Ashley on our wedding day! And am soooo excited to see our photos! She’s great with pets too! ☺️

doesn’t give direction and it’s super awkward. Ashley will let you know how to pose and make it seem comfortable and natural. I have yet to see photos that come out as beautiful and organic as hers. If you want something specific photographer at the wedding (that’s outside of the norm) just let her know and she’ll get the job done. She is also the sweetest human being. You can’t go wrong with picking Ashley.

ks for itself. Her work is flawless. She is not a “cookie cutter” photographer with the same poses and shots for every couple, instead she finds a flare and twist on each shot that suits the couple she is working with and makes you feel like the only people she’s ever photographed. She is not only a great vendor but someone who turned into a friend. Ashley is hands down one of our best decisions regarding our wedding and there is no way to ever repay her for the memories she captured for us. We will forever be able to look back on our wedding day thanks to the incredible work Ashley does! We LOVE you Ashley!

yone looking for photographer for any special occasion.

r. She is receptive to my wants, so knowledgeable, trustworthy, helpful, she is everything. I would not want to be going through the stress of planning my wedding without her!💕

gful area close to home. She gave direction when needed and was super adaptive and agreeable when we contributed ideas too. She was recommended to me by a mutual friend and I would highly recommend her to anyone else!

zing on our wedding day. They made everything go so smoothly and stress free! I loved all of my pictures and they were exactly what I wanted. She is the best!

t way more then we thought between canvases and wedding books and ornaments she really made our special day! I recommend her to any and everyone I can!

ry big part of our day. She went above and beyond to capture the moment we became one family. We were so happy to have hired Ashley to photograph our special day !!

ts! I have and will continue to recommend her to everyone we know!

her in the future!!

the photos, which also exceeded our expectations! Not only was it our pictures but personalized gifts for my wife and I. We would absolutely reccomend Ashely to any one looking for a an amazing, top of the line photographer for any occasion. Thank you Ashley!

h Ashley and the pictures that she had taken on my wedding day.

t even a month after our wedding and they were stunning. We received so many compliments on our photos and couldn’t be happier with them! HIGHLY recommend booking with Ashley - you won’t be disappointed!

mped she made tons of suggestions. Everything came out amazing, she paid close attention to detail when it came to all the moments to capture, and she sure did capture them just right. I couldn't be any happier with who we had chosen, her and her assistant we're truly amazing and to top it all off she gives you an awesome canvas, along with a USB to all your pictures, and a beautiful album. I'm glad my photographer kept in contact with us to check up on how we're doing and still continues to do so.

ooking for someone to photograph our wedding. She is very communicative and was very easy to work with leading up to the day of the wedding. Secondly, on the day of wedding Ashley and her second shooter were ready to go! They were were organized, calm and collected. Ashley is really good at given directions for positions and setting up shots in a way that is not uncomfortable or unnatural feeling. As someone who normally hates getting her photo taken, I felt completely at ease as we did our photos. Thirdly, the photos I received from here are AMAZING! Looking at them makes me relive the whole day and feel all the love and happiness that I felt during the wedding. They are the perfect captures of those special moments with my now-husband, family and friends. If you need an event photographer, you should look no further because Ashley is the perfect one! :D

down the best photographer. Not only does her work speak for itself, this girl is the SWEETEST person ever, she makes the day so much more fun having her apart of such a memorable occasion. I highly recommend her a million times over.

ding day, Ashley and Sam were on time and guided us through the whole process of how to pose and came up with several great ideas for photos. The result is something that we are so incredibly proud of. Not only did they capture the important moments, but also captured several small moments between us, our family, and friends that we will remember for a lifetime. The quality of work speaks for itself, and we couldn't recommend Ashley enough. Thanks again Ashley!
