Wedding planning can be stressful and a difficult time in your relationship with your newly crowned fiancé. When it came time to look for a wedding photographer, we reached out to a number of them within the Twin Cities. But as the quotes sta...rted to come back in, we started to read some of the horror stories that many couples experienced on their wedding day, “our photographer just cancelled on us the day before the wedding. HELP!”. As we continued the evaluation process, it came down to what we were really looking for in a photographer. We wanted two shooters to ensure not a single moment was missed, we wanted crisp family photos that would do justice in capturing the moment on our special day, and we wanted the candid shots that would give a glimpse “behind the scenes”. Finally, we wanted someone we could trust that would be there that day, partake in the festivities, and not miss a single moment. Ashley fulfilled every single wish we had.
For our family photos we had so many people we wanted to get photos with. Ashley laid out a schedule that worked for everyone and captured everything required (even the shots we didn’t think of). We had multiple small children (under 3 years old) who were not very eager to have their first family photo taken. Ashley and her second shooter, Jamie, jumped right in the mix and really worked to get them to not only look the right direction, but smile as well.
At the end of the day, we heard multiple compliments of how great our photographers were. This was before anyone had the opportunity to see an actual photo that was taken! Family members and friends (who were recently married themselves), told us, “They were all over the place getting some great pictures! We can’t wait to see them” or “How many photographers did you have? We saw them all over!” or our personal favorite, “I love how great they were with the little ones!”
After receiving our pictures (very quickly I might add), my husband and I have stated on many occasions, "She was the best choice for the perfect day." We challenge anyone to find a photographer like Ashley and we can guarantee you won’t be able to. Flexible, reliable, personable, and truly about capturing "the moments"…it’s safe to say if there are ever any other events where a photographer will be needed, we’ll be reaching out to Ashley first.
