Ashley might actually be THE best in the biz. From our first conversation we knew we had chosen the best. She is so genuine and has such a bubbly personality she is so fun to work ...
with. We first met Ashley in person when we did our engagement photoshoot and let me tell you she brings the energy! We had never worked with a professional photographer before so weren’t sure what to expect but not for one second did we feel uncomfortable, awkward, or self-conscious. Ashley works FAST, makes having your picture taken all day a breeze and she most importantly, gets the shots (it's impossible to choose favourites there are so many). On our wedding day she brought along her second shooter, Beth, who was also amazing to work with. Although my husband and I are not from the Traverse City area, we WILL be making the trip to work with Ashley for every future photoshoot.
Ashley is an absolute rockstar!! She made me feel like a princess truly captured every moment of our day perfectly. Not only did she make sure to photograph the happiest day of our...
life, she helped in every possible way, from fixing my dress that had ripped to coordinating unique photo locations. As family members were recounting the favorite parts of their day to us, all of them mentioned how amazing Ashley was. I cannot recommend Ashley enough!!
We fell in love with Ashley the second we met her! She definitely knows her stuff when it comes to photography. We hired Ashley for our wedding photos and also had her do our engag...
ement photos! Not only did she drive 4 hours to shoot our engagement photos, she knew exactly what to say, how to pose us, how to get the best shots ever. I was SHOCKED when I first saw how beautiful they were! I’m not ever one to like photos of myself and I’m
Very critical and I absolutely loved all her shots and was so excited to have these gorgeous photos! Ashley also had a very quick turn around for them to be done for us and she even gave us a “sneak peak” of our engagement and wedding photos right after!!!
Once the wedding came, she did not disappoint for one second. It ended up raining on our wedding day and so we had to change our ceremony location, and she still found a way to create beautiful gorgeous photos in a timely matter that we will forever have! She even came with clear umbrellas for the rain that we used and they look adorable!
I cannot say enough good things about Ash! She is absolutely amazing. From her preparation and communication, bubbly personality, and of course stunning pictures - she is just the ...
best! She is so great to work with and I will only be using her for all our photography needs in the future!
Ashely is AMAZING. Period. My husband and I absolutely adore her and we are so happy with our choice to have her photograph our wedding. Ashley is such a genuine person and her wor...
k is unmatched. I have only seen a few sneak peeks so far and love every single one of them. She is passionate about her work and really made us feel comfortable and confident during both our engagement and wedding sessions. You will not regret having her be a part of your special day!
Could not say enough kind words about this photographer!!! Her photos are ANGELIC which match her personality!!! Not only is so so talented, prompt, creative and professional- she ...
is also so kind, energetic and engaging. We could not have asked for anyone better. Would recommend her to absolutely anyone and everyone!!! An absolute delight to be around and now we have photos to hold onto forever!!!
She was great, I was the maid of honor at the wedding, and I normally don't leave reviews, but I had to for her. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND at my sisters wedding. And our family is ...
obsessed with the images.
Definitely book her! It's not even a question.
You can’t get better than Ashley! We felt so comfortable the whole time. She was so great with posing, and she was somehow able to nail down our genuine smiles, which gave us some...
candid looking shots-which we love so much. We have all these beautiful images to look back on years from now. And we have her to thank! She couldn’t have done a better job.
Thank you, Ashley!
Ashely Bassett, I cannot say enough amazing compliments about her photography. She captured every perfect moment between my wife and I during both our engagement shoot and our wedd...
ing day. She truly makes you feel comfortable and confident. My wife and I have never been “picture” people but Ashley made sure to make it fun and professional at the same time! She makes you laugh and knows how to position you help create that perfect moment so she can snap it. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a photographer!!
Ashley Bassett did a great job on my daughter’s engagement pictures along with her and my son in law’s wedding pictures. She is professional, but at the same time makes you feel co...
mfortable. Her photos she took are beautiful. I made a book of the wedding for my clients to see and they all ask who did the photography, they are all so perfect! Thanks again, Ashley !
Ashley was so amazing!! I am not someone who likes getting their picture taken and Ashley makes everything so simple and easy. She gives you so much confidence which in turn makes...
your pictures so beautiful!! She is super organized and is so great to work with throughout the process of planning. She not only takes pictures though, she helps you through the whole schedule of your day so you are not as stressed and feel at ease that the day will be perfect. Ashley is also the nicest and cutest person ever and really pays attention to every detail. Her photos are so ridiculously good and I would recommend her to anyone that ask for a photographer.
Ashley really exceeded my expectations with my maternity photos done in Traverse City. She really helped me bring my vision to life with the setting I chose and the photography li...
ghting/visuals that I had in mind. She was speedy with responding to my inquiries and had a quick turnaround for my photos. I would definitely recommend her to any of my family and friends. She possessed great professionalism, skill and positive energy! She made me feel like a goddess, when I felt like an absolute WHALE most days! Thank you for an amazing photo session, Ashley!
Words can't say how wonderful Ashley is. Ashley has done both my sister's and my wedding. She is incredibly talented and works so hard. Our wedding day went seamlessly because of h...
er jumping to action and making sure everything was going timely as well as making sure we enjoyed every moment. Ashley has an amazingly bubbly personality which makes her an immediate friend. My husband and I just love her! She took both our engagement and our wedding photos. The photos she produces are light and airy and make everything look beautiful and romantic. I highly recommend her as a photographer and I know many others do as well!
Oh my goodness, where do I even begin?! Ashley is PHENOMENAL! Her calm demeanor, attention to detail, and her ability to socialize with anyone make her the perfect photographer. ...
She was efficient, organized, and relaxed on our wedding day, not to mention, she made our photo experience a BLAST! I have gotten so many compliments on the quality of her work on both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. I highly recommend this sweet and talented woman!
Ashley is perfect! Shes personable, friendly and super easy going. She makes you feel like family and comfortable in front of the camera. This is a huge plus because I hate my pict...
ure taken. She guides you through how to pose and it is effortless, her instructions are super easy to follow. Ashley and her 2nd shooter are the way to go hands down. Having 2 people gives you more then enough time to get all the pictures you could ever want without feeling rushed. Highly highly recommend her services :)
I had the pleasure of working with Ashley and her assistant for a wedding recently at a local venue. I was the Day of Coordinator and was so impressed with Ashley. She was great ...
at communicating details before the big day and was magical as she photographed the wedding party. She always had a big smile on her face and it was quickly apparent that she loves what she does! Her photographs were absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend Ashley - you won't be disappointed!!!!
Ashley is the best photographer ever! From the first moment we met with her at our engagement session we knew we chose the right person! She was bubbly and energetic and it felt li...
ke we had known her forever! She was a huge help setting up our wedding day timeline and getting all of the photos we wanted! Her photos are always beautiful and you won’t be disappointed when you hire her!
I've been watching Ashley's photography over the last few years and absolutely LOVE how she captures everything. I live in Naples, Florida and wanted to do a branding session for m...
y business. I immediately knew that no one in the area had the eye for it like Ashley would, so I flew her down for a 2 day photo shoot. She did NOT disappoint! I'm absolutely giddy about the photos she took. All the right angles, poses and the most important she made it fun and I DIDN'T feel awkward. The last few times I did self promotion for my company, it was horribly awkward and I hated it. Ashley's directions put me right at ease. She know's what she's doing and captured everything I wanted and more! I showed my friend, who is already going to book her for her wedding and I'm making plans to bring her down to Naples again because I know that no on else can do the job like she can. Thanks Ashley!!
Ashley is amazing. I love her. She is so nice and friendly and makes you feel so comfortable while shooting. I found her on instagram and am so happy I took a chance because I'm n...
ot sure I would have wanted a different photographer for my wedding. I will always recommend her to anyone. She is so friendly and really got to know the people around me and important to me so she could figure out the way around things. She kept us on track for time and was so willing to try new things.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Ashley is AMAZING (and that's an understatement)!
Words can't describe how lucky we are to have her capture some of the most important times in our lives! We ar...
e in awe at the quality of our engagement pictures and CANNOT WAIT for her to capture our wedding day!
We love you, Ash!
We had to take engagement photos with a different photographer, given that we didn't live in Traverse City. So, I searched online and followed Ashley on Instagram to get a feel for...
a style and to see if she would be a good fit for our wedding photos. I loved the way the photos were filled with light and beauty. They always looked comfortable and not overly staged.
I got everything I wanted and more. Not only was Ashley a great communicator leading up to the wedding, but she was incredibly organized and helpful the day of. Our wedding venue was one she hadn't shot at before, so she made several trips on her own just to get the best idea of where we would get the best photos. She also adds a special touch for each of her couples and her gift to us was beyond generous and wonderful.
My husband says that if he ever needs a hype team and someone to make him feel like a rock star, that he will call Ashley. Everyone in our wedding party and guests felt her good energy and loved having her as part of our day. We can't say enough good things and hope we get to utilize her services again :)
My husband and I hired Ashley last September for our engagement and wedding pictures. She is absolutely amazing! From our first meet to the big day, she made us feel comfortable an...
d relaxed which allowed us to be ourselves and capture a ton of memories. Every picture she took told a story. Ashley is a natural with her camera and an absolute sweetheart. She exceeded our expectations and we can not recommend her enough.

Ashley is incredibly talented at what she does. Not only in her photography skills, (which are AMAZING by the way).... but also in the way she connects with her clients. By then en...
d of our engagement session, well heck, even before we met, we were friends! After seeing our engagement photos, and then attending a family wedding, I had a close family member tell us what a difference in her work, compared to the photographer at that wedding..... the exact words were “she really sets the bar high”........ and Ashley does! We are incredibly greatful and blessed to have found her. We live 4+ hours away, and we could have not found anyone we would be happier with. We can’t wait to see our wedding photos!
Ashley did my sister’s engagement photos, and I am absolutely amazed by her work! Her work is phenomenal and I HIGHLY recommend her ♥️

mmunication from the beginning was smooth, timely and professional. She helped me map out my wedding day timeline and she is literally willing to help you with anything. This has been extremely beneficial as we finalize the details of our wedding.
When it comes to taking photos, Ashley is always up for adventure. We had so much taking our engagement pictures at a winery in Traverse City. The end product was exactly what we were looking for, great photos that perfectly captured us! We had so many people reach out to us and RAVE about our pictures.. Ashley really pays attention to detail, not only in her photographs, but in every aspect of the service and product which she provides. Couldn't recommend her and her services enough!
Ashley is incredible to work with. Along with being our photographer for our wedding next year, she also took our engagement pictures recently and they are gorgeous! My Fiance and ...
I haven't been in front of the camera before and she made us feel so comfortable and guided us through the shoot, capturing a variety of shots. It was almost hard to choose! I have a lot of reasons to be excited to get married, but I am looking forward to the beautiful pictures I will have afterwards to remember that day forever.
