Ashley Ellis Photos

all took away all my fears. Not only was she relatable but she was funny and she’s a mom and just is so real. She is my kinda person. Throughout the entire process she helped calm my anxiety and even helped plan our timeline…I’m not admin minded lol. And then the day of! My goodness, she cares more about you than the photos. Sounds crazy, but it was what we needed. She didn’t make us pose necessarily and instead captured moments which was exactly what I wanted. She made me feel beautiful through her encouragement and just tended to US all day. Thank you Ashley for just being who you are. You guys are crazy if you have not booked her yet. I have ZERO regrets!

ackage wise. I also had no idea how a wedding should go (when to do dances, cut the cake, give speeches, etc) and she was able to help me plan the whole day down to the minute! It was such a wonderful meeting and I felt so confident with our plan! The day of, Ashley was so on top of everything!! At one point I was getting a bit flustered with some pressure to starting eating and having the guests sit, and Ashley took a moment to talk with me and reassured me that it was all about me today and we were going to do what I wanted to do, (then proceeded to get me a drink and food 🥹). She captured our day perfectly and I could not be more happy with how our photos turned out! Looking through our gallery, I felt like I was reliving our wedding day. She somehow captured our personalities and the energy of our wedding in the photos and I honestly get teary eyed looking through them all ❤️ Book her for your wedding!! I promise she will exceed every expectation you have!

ur photographer. I was drawn to the way she captured photos (candid, colorful, full of life and love). For our engagement shoot, Ashley did so well with helping us push past the awkwardness of posing and taking pictures. After we received our engagement photos back, we had some concerns about how we looked and how many photos we received. Ashley was incredible with how she handled it, by offering to work with us again for a second shoot to work out the kinks and get it right. We absolutely loved the second round of photos! That really helped set us up for success for our wedding day. On our wedding day, Ashley and her husband went above and beyond to work with us to make it the best day ever. I loved getting to work with her to create a general timeline to follow. We fell a little bit behind on the day of, but Ashley was right there to remind me that it was our day and everyone was on our schedule. Her constant check-ins and pep talks helped ground me when things weren't going right. Throughout the night, Ashley captured so many amazing moments that we get to look back on forever. She was absolutely incredible the entire day and we couldn't have done it without her. Ashley is dedicated, hard-working, kind, patient, funny, and extremely talented! She is very grounding for brides that are anxious or need a moment to regroup on the busy wedding day. I really enjoyed the entire process of working with her! I love how organized and professional she is. I could go on and on about how amazing she is. You will not be disappointed if you choose Ashley to be your photographer. I hope to one day get to work with her again as we grow our own family!!

ion, and her and her husband were incredible. We moved to Texas halfway through wedding planning, which made things way more complicated. But Ashley helped to make it as smooth as possible while being a whole time zone away! We had multiple phone calls to discuss what my husband and I envisioned and she helped to create a timeline for the day. Being so far away was stressful, but she helped ease that stress. She helped communicate with the distillery staff on the day of (for transportation from my location, to the place where the actual ceremony would take place, etc). We didn’t have a wedding planner/ coordinator, so Ashley sort of stepped into that role and kept the day rolling and organized. Her personality kept everyone laughing (like a lot!), and helped everyone feel at ease! We had to switch gears when we discovered that because of previous weather, we couldn’t walk around as much as we intended without getting muddy. Her professionalism shone during this, and she found an even better spot than we originally had in mind! She and her husband took wonderful pictures throughout the whole day, but her vision for after the ceremony and her ideas for our “running through the twilit woods”was INCREDIBLE. She helped us come up with a timeline for the reception and again helped to communicate with the distillery staff to keep things rolling and on time. I can’t say enough great things about her and her skills as a photographer. I wish we still lived in Indiana so we could book her again for something! Even in Texas, I tell everyone about how amazing our wedding photographer was! Thank you so much Ashley!

os. She kept us on time and had such cute ideas to capture our day and love beautifully. I would 10/10 recommend her to do the same for you! You can tell she truly cares about what she does and loves all of the unique couples and their stories. Thank you Ashley for making our day even better than we could have imagined!!!❤️

Ready to help, step in, or advocate for us to really make our wedding day and photos the best that it could be. She also worked with us to develop our timeline, and we were able to plan everything based on her suggestions and expertise. Ashley was our rock and I don't know what we would have done without her! I couldn't recommend her enough, she is a lovely person and I'm so happy that she was a part of our day.

ld not be happier!!!! THANK YOU ASHLEY!

worried that looking for a photographer that was happy to do a queer wedding in Indiana would be a challenge, but she didn’t bat an eye. She was more than a photographer, and felt like an all around assist to keeping our day on track. She took our ideas and ran with them and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. Our family and friends raved about her, and we couldn’t have found someone to fit our day better. She made us feel so beautiful and relaxed. AND, we had a few edited photos delivered before the reception was half way through, which made it extra easy to share the next day. 10/10, 5 stars, best of the best, would recommend time and again! THANK YOU!! 🫶🏼

�🏻 I am so beyond thankful that she was able to capture the best part of our special day!!

bsolutely everything & took so much stress off of me!

hots as I wanted our photos to show the joy of the day (not staged). I clicked on Ashley’s page and found just that! Ashley was excellent from the first communication I had with her inquiring about her services. She was prompt to respond back to my messages and addressed all the questions I had for her. When it came to scheduling our engagement photos, she was very accommodating to our schedule and got them scheduled with plenty of time to get our Save-the-Dates out AND they turned out so good! I have seen many photographers not give the same effort in the engagement photos as the wedding, but that was not the case with Ashley and really out did herself with ours! Then came our wedding day and all I could say is Ashley was wonderful. She was punctual, helped us stayed on a schedule, and captured our wedding beautifully. She helped provide ideas on shots (as I had no idea what I wanted) and edited a ton of sneak peeks on the spot. On top of all of that, Ashley was fun, takes interest in her Client’s needs, and pride in her work. We have now used her for our family shots - she is a lifer with our family. You won’t be disappointed going with Ashley for your wedding photographer - I can promise you that!

d Ashley was willing to work with us to be sure we were covering all of our must haves. Day of they showed up ready to hit the ground running and joined right in with the laughing and celebrating. They kept the schedule running smoothly and didn't make us feel like we were being rushed or not heard if things needed adjusting. Ashley's schedule built in buffer times throughout the day to give us a safety cushion and also some moments just to breath and take everything in. She was kind enough to give me a look at her camera screen multiple times throughout the day and kept checking in to make sure we were getting everything we wanted. The photos we got back after the fact are out of this world and just the cherry on top to such a great experience. It's the perfect balance of traditional shots, portraits, and in the moment snapshots. I will be looking to the images with such a happy heart forever and cannot thank her and Chris enough for all their hard work.

cial day of you lives! I am still in awe of our wedding photos! Her detail photos are fantastic, and she so perfectly captured the special little moments shared between my husband and I. Our wedding did not exactly go as planned... the venue we chose was a NIGHTMARE!!! There were swarms of flies covering the grounds, getting stuck in my dress and veil, and the staff was incredibly rude practically harassing myself AND my wedding vendors, it was awful! Literally the only saving grace that helped to keep my head cool and collected was the care and compassion from my photographer and my DJ. Ashley checked in with me and actually made sure I had everything I needed. She had a whole emergency kit that we utilized several times for the items that we didn't even think we needed. When my wedding coordinators skipped over items and completely screwed our timeline, she stayed later to make sure we captured our sparkler send off. She prioritized us, the couple, over family members opinions, and helped to make us feel so so special. She kept me informed every step of the way on where she was at in editing and updated me as my gallery became available. On my way to our honey moon the following evening, I had several beautiful photos to reminisce on from our special day. I truly have her to thank for making my wedding day special, and I will recommend her to every single other person who needs a wedding photographer!

thing we wanted plus more. Our pictures were so beautiful. We now use Ashley for all of our photography needs! Our family will never use another photographer!

ograph.

halfway through, so without hesitation she told me she would do more photos for us at a later time to make up for the ones we missed. She’s the sweetest!

eeds a photographer!

rtable getting our pictures done. Would recommend over and over again.

put people at ease and help them relax on what can be such a nervous day. She’s very accommodating as well, if you have any poses or special requests to include, she makes sure to add them in. Every smile in all our photos was genuine, thanks in no small part to her. 25 out of 10, highly, highly recommend!!

hooting our maternity pictures as well! Highly recommend Ashley to capture all of life’s big moments.

feel stress free! She even came out the night before just so she could scope out the best spots for us! She really made our day go as smooth as possible! Thank you Ashley for our pictures we will be able to remember this day for a long time !

.10.22 and she had sent back so many amazing sneak peeks! We cannot wait to see the rest. We don’t know what we would've done without her on our big day. She kept us on track and it was so stress free the entire day! She always makes you look your best by posing you (which we need help with) and she guides you through the pictures which is so helpful! Seriously though, if you need a photographer she is your woman.
