About this vendor
Congratulations! What an incredibly exciting season of life you are in! I am thrilled you have found me here at Ashley James Photography & Graphics, and I hope we get to connect personally and chat all about your wedding day.
I believe each wedding is just as unique as each couple, therefore, my ambition is to capture your unique love story in an intimate and personable way. My photography style is a beautiful blend of posed, traditional portraiture along with tons of playful movement for fun candid images too.
I love to travel around our amazing State of NC and beyond to capture weddings and other milestone moments. Finding creative locations to photograph within and hunting down the best lighting and angles for your portraits is such a fun, creative process for me. My outgoing and engaging personality will keep your photography experience lighthearted and amusing.
With over 12 years of Wedding and Portrait Photography experience, I have been able to curate a collection of “Guides” that will assist my clients with their detailed planning, wedding day timeline, and portrait groupings.
Engagement and Bridal Sessions allow us to all work closely together long before the big day. I’ll learn about your quirks, concerns, and preferences, and you will experience my photography style firsthand with posing and editing. Then, you will have a collection of consistently styled and photographed images to use for products such as Save The Dates, invitations, guest books, slideshows, wall portraits, personal wedding websites, social media, and more.
Since every wedding budget is different, I enjoy offering the flexibility of Hourly Wedding Coverage. The Hourly Coverage price includes the professionally retouched and high-resolution images with Print Release included. I also offer several additional print products as well as custom graphic design services.
I am eager to connect with you, learn about your love story and wedding day plans, and see if we are a great fit for one another.
Ashley James Photography & Graphics is a wedding photographer based in Lexington, NC.

Great communication and beautiful pictures for my mom’s wedding. It was exactly what she asked for. Thanks Ashley!
Ashley was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very first phone call, I knew we were in great hands. She spent over an hour getting to know us, answering ev...
ery question, and instilling confidence and excitement about the process. Immediately after the call, she sent a detailed email recap along with a wedding day photography timeline, which showed how organized, thoughtful, and dedicated she is.
On our wedding day, Ashley was calm, professional, and such a positive presence. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured every moment so beautifully. Her attention to detail and ability to capture both the big moments and the candid ones are truly incredible.
When we received our photos, we were in lovelier . Every image tells the story of our day so perfectly, and we’ll treasure them for the rest of our lives.

The photos from our son's wedding are nothing short of stunning. Each image perfectly reflects the joy, love, and emotion of the day. We have all been reliving one of the most special days of our lives through these photos.

This comfort they felt working with Ashley translated into the most beautiful and authentic photographs.
