Ashley is such a talented photographer! The moment I began doing research for our wedding I knew I wanted someone who was patient, kind, and had an eye for detail. She was very pat...
ient as I asked her questions and suggestions to make for the best pictures possible. Ashley did our engagement pictures in Old Town, Fort Collins, and our wedding photographs this past September in Estes Park. I cannot recommend Ashley enough! I have received so many compliments on our photographs, and she was just an absolute pleasure to work with! I have recommended her to several of my coworkers as well, I appreciate the fact she is willing to take the time and truly listen to what you want and make sure she is able to capture everything that is important to you. She never made us feel rushed, and she really takes time to learn the personalities of her clients and captures it through her photographs. Without a doubt, I will be using her for any of our future pictures as well!
Ashely was super easy to get along with and takes amazing photos. We had a destination wedding in Colorado and feel very lucky to have found a photographer that was so easy to be ...
around. The engagement photo session was also great as it gave us an opportunity to get to know Ashley before our actual wedding. It was also good practice for me (since I don’t love being photographed, ha).
My husband and I were so fortunate to find Ashley to take our wedding pictures in Estes Park. She was professional and so patient with us. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful! Sh...
e captured so many details that will have lasting memories for the rest of our lives. We can't thank her enough for making our day complete!

ful and really captured our day. We cannot recommend Ashley and her team enough!
After my husband and I got engaged in March of 2018, I knew in the back of my mind that I wanted a photographer that I knew and could trust. We contemplated back and forth about a ...
few people, but deep down I had to go with Ashley and my husband agreed! I have known Ashley for a very long time and couldn't think of anyone else to make capture these perfect moments of love through a picture. She had a vision of doing our engagement photo's in Old Town, Fort Collins because that is where my husband and I met. The photos turned out amazing and were in awe of her professionalism and how she wanted to capture the love underneath the downtown lights! We had our wedding in June of this year at CSU's Canvas Stadium on a rainy day, and she absolutely KILLED IT with all the photos that she captured! When she says she has a vision of how she wants to do your photos, TRUST HER, she knows what she is doing and you will be amazed at the outcome! She is the best photographer and we couldn't be more happy/grateful for how awesome our photos turned out! Thank you, Ashley!
If you’re not sure who to hire for your photography needs- Ashley McKenzie is your answer. From the moment we spoke on the phone, I knew we had made the right decision. She made ou...
r engagement session extremely fun and relaxing, which was super nice because my husband and I had no clue what we were doing. We chose to do them downtown Fort Collins on a busy Friday night. It was insanely windy and Ashley was able to capture heartfelt moments in the most creative places. It felt like we were the only ones around when in reality, it was bustling with people. Ashley was speedy getting our engagement photos to us, which was really helpful because we were a bit late in sending Save the Dates. She’s a lifesaver! Ashley was also instrumental in planning our timeline of events. She gave suggestions and input when needed and was extremely supportive in making our wedding special. When she arrived on our wedding day, I instantly felt more relaxed because she was calm, yet excited for us. It was like a long-time friend was there who just happened to have amazingly creative skills. Ashley was able to capture the most special moments that we will cherish forever. I am not sure how to put it into words, but wow, she is talented. If it's not enough for us to absolutely love each picture and moment, we constantly get complimented on our photos. Friends, family, friends of friends, everyone makes comments not only about how wonderful our pictures turned out, but the feeling and meaning that comes through them as well. I could keep going about how wonderful Ashley is, but all you need to know is that she is talented beyond measure, and has a heart of gold that shines through in what she does.
We hired Ashley to shoot our engagement and wedding photos. Our engagement photos were breathtaking, and our wedding photos were truly magical. It was so easy to take photos with A...
shley, she was caring, funny, and compassionate. She was able to get us to relax and just have fun, and that really showed in our photos. They looked naturally beautiful and never posed. The day of our wedding went perfectly, Ashley worked so well with the schedule of our wedding. We never felt rushed or behind. I can't tell you how many of our family members complimented her after our wedding. They complimented not only her photos, but her overall presence and professionalism. When we got our photos back we were surprised by how many were so up close and detailed. We were surprised, in the best way, because during the ceremony we never saw her. She is a stealthy photo ninja! Picking Ashley to take your photos will be the best decision you will make for your wedding.
Ashley was so awesome in ensuring our special day was captured by every photo she took. Her devoted hard worked payed off as me and my wife are still reminiscing our special day. I...
would highly recommend her to anyone seeking out a wedding photographer. As her and her assistant did such a fantastic job taking pictures of us before and after we got married. Thank you so much Ashley, we are truly blessed by your great talent!
I never had to worry about anything with Ashley. She made my wedding day a DREAM, and was able to corral my crazy family for picture too! I loved her punctuality during the whole d...
ay, making sure we stayed with the timeline!! Her picture are light, airy, and effortless❤️ I’m so happy I chose Ashley as my photographer, and now she’s my photographer for life when I need pictures! I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and I got so many compliments that my pictures were amazing! If you want the best photographer, choose Ashley. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

I have so many amazing things to say about Ashley, I'm going to get carpel tunnel typing this! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! My wedding day did not go as planned as my ceremony site was u...
navailable due to a helicopter rescue and if Ashley was stressed out I never would have known . She kept her cool, offered many suggestions and plan B's and was fluid and flexible. My guests were so grateful to have a calming presence during a stressful time. Also, I got my sneak peek photos less than 24 hours after my wedding. That is literally unheard of!!!! Ashley, you're amazing. Hiring you for my day was the best decision I could have ever made!!
I can't say enough great things about Ashley. Not only is she an amazing photographer but she was easy to communicate with and super nice. We picked Ashley for our wedding photogra...
pher because she is an absolute master of difficult lighting and even though my husband and I not always the most photogenic people, she made us feel completely comfortable and all of our photos came out looking really natural and not forced at all. She's the best!
I can't say enough wonderful things about Ashley and her incredible assistant, Rebecca. I love love love our pictures and they did a wonderful job of capturing our wedding and rece...
ption! They were not afraid to get creative with where to shoot in an non-traditional venue and they were so easy and fun to work with. Do yourself a favor and hire Ashley, she's just amazing.
From the very beginning, I felt Ashley was actually taking the time to learn about us as a couple and how we fell in love. She genuinely cares about capturing the story and it made...
shooting our Engagement photos even more special. I never felt like I was just another client, I felt she was my friend who wanted to capture the happiest moments of my life. She is incredibly talented and kind, I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a wedding photographer!

th our engagement and our wedding were so special and magical to both my husband and I, and Ashley somehow managed to capture every moment just as we felt them. Not only is Ashley a very talented woman, but so sweet and a pleasure to work with.
If you are looking for a photographer that is beyond talented, passionate about what she does and has the sweetest personality; read on!! From the moment, I got in touch with Ashle...
y I knew she was the photographer for us. She is so much more than an amazing photographer, she honestly fit in like family on our special day and felt like a longtime friend. When my search began for photographers I browsed all over trying to read reviews all the way from Florida planning a wedding in Colorado. The moment I saw Ashley’s art and the passion that shows in her photos I was HOOKED. I also connected with the way her previous clients raved about her technique and professionalism. I contacted her with excitement and the fear of it not working out to book her for our day, but boy did my husband and I get lucky. She caught everything and more that day and like I said earlier fit right in doing so (: Ashley was so accommodating fitting in a day after session with us before we flew home and we explored all over Estes Park with her. She has “the eye” for capturing the perfect shot and she made us feel so comfortable both the day of and after. We have breathtaking photos we get to cherish forever, thank you Ashley for being the BEST at what you do!
Ashley was amazing from start to finish. We heard about her through a friend, who raved about how fun she was to work with. We felt comfortable with her immediately and through th...
e entire process: phone call, engagement pictures, wedding preparation, and our special day. Ashley calmed our nerves and truly walked us through creating a timeline and setting the tone for the day. She guided us through our photo wish list and truly took the time to get to know us. She was also instrumental in helping my husband pull off the most incredible surprise to cap off our wedding. We couldn’t love her any more and recommend her to EVERYONE. She is the best of the best and an absolute joy to work with. Our engagement and wedding photos are everything we could have hoped for and so much more. Both her talent and heart are beyond belief.
Ashley was amazing and was a wonderful part of our day. She has a gift in capture a couple's unique qualities and producing incredible portraits. Anyone couple would be lucky to ha...

uring the joy of our engagement and wedding day. Her attention to not only who she is photographing, but her attentiveness to the background and lighting is impeccable too.
Her photographs are amazing and we certainly cherish her work each day!
Ashley is very graceful, patient and kind while truly “herding cats” for family portraits - this can not be an easy feat!
She is a talented artist and such a kind, calming pleasure to work with, especially on your wedding day!
With love & appreciation, Eliza & Jake Burke
When you start wedding planning- everything can be so overwhelming. Where do I start, who do I talk to, who can help me along this process? Ashley was my first call. All of those q...
uestions became a little less “scary” after talking with her. I met Ashley though another project- and knew from that point that when my husband and I decided to take the next step that Ashley would be my first call. Ashley is not only an incredible photographer, but she is a wonderful person. She has so much insight and helpful little tips that make the wedding planning process just a little bit less insane. I felt like I was inviting a friend to our wedding – not a photographer. She knows how to get the best shots, find the best light, and just get the best out of each person (and dog☺). Our engagement photos in Downtown Denver captured my husband and I perfectly. She got us to come out of our shells and was able to capture each of our personalities perfectly. Then at the wedding- She did the same thing with not only him and I- but also each and everyone she took a photo of. I feel so grateful that I have shots- for example- of my Grandparents- the love and the happiness in their faces is something I will cherish forever. I could not have imagined my day without her. I highly recommend Ashley to any bride looking for a photographer who will add just a little bit more excitement, smiles, and love to their day!
Ashley is amazing and by far exceeded our expectations!! From the moment we contacted her she was extremely professional and helpful. My husband and I are from Wisconsin, so doing ...
a destination wedding in Colorado was a lot to plan. Ashley helped us every step of the way, making sure our large wedding party had lots of fun but also stayed organized. She captured every detail of our special day with her unique and artistic style. Ashley knows the Rocky Mountain National Park well, and she helped us pick out the perfect spot for both our engagement and wedding pictures. The photos are seriously breathtaking!! We could not be happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Ashley to any Colorado couples looking for the perfect photographer.
Ashley was the perfect choice for our engagement and wedding photos! She was professional, organized, and directed us every step of the way, which considering we were an out of tow...
n couple was AMAZING. She also shares my husband and I's passion for the outdoors and adventure and that really made for a comfortable atmosphere when taking photos...not to mention the most amazing photos ever!! She also recommended the spots for our engagement photos and first look photos that were simply perfect.
If you want an experienced, friendly, and incredibly talented photographer Ashley's your girl.
Ashley is not only one of the nicest people ever, but she is a true artist. She captured so many beautiful memories from our wedding day and every time I look through the images, ...
I am so grateful we hired her. I would recommend her to any bride and groom!!
We had the pleasure of working with Ashley for our wedding on 9/16/2017. Throughout our entire time working with Ashley she was professional, responsive and friendly. She did our...
engagement photos and got up super early with us to take the most amazing sunrise photos. On our wedding day she blended in seamlessly with our guests and took time to get every picture we asked for. I couldn't imagine my wedding without her - everything she did helped make my day special. On top of that, we got a preview of our photos in less than a week and they were GORGEOUS! Thank you so much Ashley. I would highly recommend you to anyone looking to have the most beautiful wedding photos!! - Kathy
Ashley photographed our wedding on July 22, 2017 and I can not say anything bad! She had our photos ready to go on July 29th! ONE week after the wedding!!! You can tell Ashley real...
ly loves her job as well, she took her time making sure she was able to get all of our photos perfect. She provided us with a timeline of activities, she even helped with silly questions we had about how to dance or how to cut the cake. She really is so much fun to work with! I would 100% recommend her! I bought her package that included one more photographer, she brought Katie and Katie was amazing as well! Both ladies made us feel comfortable and they were very patient with our goofiness of a couple! Thank you again Ashley!!!! Our engagement photos from her are AMAZING as well, call me biased but these are the best engagement and wedding photos I have ever seen!
One of my husband and my’s most important elements of our wedding was having top quality photography. Thankfully, we found Ashley. She was very friendly from the first interaction ...
and she made reasonable recommendations for how to get the most bang for our buck.
Ashley and her second photographer were very professional at the wedding. Ashley even arrived early to take some detail shots, which was a bonus to our original agreement. Family and friends all said positive things about their interactions with Ashley; she’s very unobtrusive and yet captures the shots required. We received our wedding photos within the quoted timeframe and most importantly, we’re very happy with the quantity and quality of moments captured that day.
Ashley was truly a pleasure to work with. She was professional, extremely responsive, listened to what we wanted and was so fun to be around. She managed to make us feel comfortabl...
e in front of the camera and ensured we got everything we wanted from our pictures. Truly the best experience.
Ashley was a joy to work with! She is highly professional and her photography is incredibly beautiful. She takes great pride and love in producing high quality pictures for her cli...
ents. She is reliable and on-time and is quick to turn around the edited photos. She did our engagement photo shoot and our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out! She captured our most important moments in such a personal way. Her style is very "candid" and she love to capture the real life emotions of the moment. We love looking through our pictures and re-living our day because she documented it so well. I would HIGHLY recommend Ashley McKenzie Photography to everyone I know. If you haven't booked her yet, do it now!
Ashley is wonderful to work with from start to finish. She is friendly, professional, organized, calm, and very talented. She feels like a friend as soon as you meet her, and it tr...
uly seems like she finds joy and happiness in her work. At no point did I worry that I wouldn't get a photo that was important to me--she was all over it, and our photos were beautiful. I'm a graphic designer by trade, working a lot with photography, so I have pretty discerning taste when it comes to photo quality. It's not all in how to work the camera--it's how to capture real moments and make your subjects (who usually aren't models) feel comfortable and happy in front of the camera. Ashley is gifted in all these areas, and I could not be happier with how our engagement and wedding photos came out. During our wedding, I had so many friends & family members tell me how great she was, and after we received our photos back, the complements poured in. Everyone agreed: Ashley is fantastic in pretty much every way :)
Ashley was great! We absolutely LOVE our wedding photos and have received tons of compliments on how they turned out. Ashley did a great job getting to know us as a couple, and cap...
turing all of the most special moments on our big day. She's fun, creative and so talented! I'm so happy we booked with her - and look forward to working with her in the future!

shley made a point to get to know us as a couple and truly became a part of the celebration. We love the pictures and will enjoy them for years to come!
Ashley was a gem to work with, from the moment my husband and I met her we knew she would be a great fit! We are thrilled with our photos, highly recommend Ashley!

n amazing human being. She is so sweet and romantic, as well as hardworking and professional. She has really found her calling and it shows in every picture.
My husband and I love pictures so when it came time to choose our engagement/wedding photographer we did tons of research to find "the best" and wow did we find it! From the beginn...
ing, Ashley was inviting, personable, a joy to be around and our pictures are stunning. We are so thankful that we chose Ashley and we can't wait to work with her again!
It was such a pleasure to have Ashley as our photographer on our wedding day. She was everything we dreamed about in a photographer - punctual (early in fact, which was really nice...
because our venue can be hard to find), organized, friendly and she takes amazing pictures. What I love most about her is that she made my husband and me feel completely comfortable, which is saying a lot for two people who don't love to be the center of attention. She did a great job of perfectly capturing our day and we will forever have these memories to cherish. Additionally, after the wedding, we were told that it would take around 5 weeks to have all of our pictures and we got them within 2 weeks of our wedding - such a great surprise (though I know this may not be the case for everyone as we did have an earlier wedding). I know that in the future, if we ever have need for a photographer, she will be our first choice!
Ashley knows how to stage, capture moments, and have a great time during the course of an event. She was very flexible with our schedules, especially for engagement photos. She i...
s known at the venue we used, making photographs quick and easy for everyone involved.
Strongly recommend!
Ashley did our engagement and wedding photos. From the very beginning she was very quick to respond and was so professional and informative from the start. Her schedule was open to...
meet with us to go over everything and show us more of her work. Her website shows a great deal of her wonderful work and she is not afraid to show more on request. The price of her work is absolutely reasonable! She has such a great, easy going personality that she makes you feel comfortable right from the get go. I absolutely loved having her as our photographer and am so happy with all of the photographs. On the day of the wedding she came so prepared and didn't need any direction from anyone which was such a relief. She came ready to work and knew exactly what she needed to do and when. She had a schedule and stuck with it but kept me (the bride) at ease that we were going to get all the photos that were needed even if we were running behind on time. She was patient and kind with everyone even when they could have been in her way. I wouldn't do it any differently if I could. She was perfect and so much fun to work with. I am just sad I don't have a lot more reasons to work with her. Highly recommend you chose Ashley.
Ashley McKenzie photographed my wedding at Lonehawk Farm in May 2015. I feel so fortunate to have found her! She is professional and so much fun to work with. She was always qui...
ck to respond when I had questions or wanted to see a gallery of her work. She gave great advice on the timing for pictures and how to get the pictures that would mean the most to us. On the wedding day, we had a lot of things that didn't go as planned, but she thrived and made the most of the unexpected. She made everyone feel at ease during portraits and we were all laughing and having a great time. She knew exactly how to take advantage of the timing of events and the lighting. I absolutely love our pictures. She captured the wonderful emotions of the day in such a beautiful way. The portrait, candid, and detail shots are all gorgeous and tell the story of our day. We've had so many wedding guests tell us how much they loved her and the pictures. I can't recommend Ashley and her work enough.
Our wedding was on May 2nd, 2015 and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Ashley made us comfortable during our engagement session and that was so important to us. On...
our big deal she captured all of the most important shots and every single image turned out beautifully! We can't count how many compliments we have received on her already, and can't wait to use her again for other events!
Ashley is wonderful. My husband and I were able to jump on this bandwagon early on in her business career, so our price was lower than she charges now, but nonetheless, Ashley is ...
great and worth every penny! Her photos are true to color, meaningful, beautiful, vibrant, the eyes of her subjects are gorgeous, she has a great eye for the perfect photo, and she is so fun to work with. We had a wedding of about 190, and a wedding party of 12, and she was able to capture such great photos of everyone on our special day. Our groomsmen are hilarious and somewhat ridiculous at times, and she just played along and made them feel comfortable so the pictures are excellent. I would highly recommend Ashley. We received our photos in about 7 weeks, got 506 of them, and we have full rights to them.
My husband and I hired Ashley for our engagement photos as well as for our wedding. Best decision ever? Yes, best decision ever. Not only is Ashley creative, talented and passionat...
e, but she is just such a wonderful person. She cares about the people she works with, and she cares about her work. Super professional! We both highly recommend her!
Ashley did an amazing job of photographing our wedding and engagement session. She was very thorough and professional and her photographs are beautiful. Her ideas were creative and...
traditionally beautiful. Moreover, she was so easy to work with. She was willing to photograph us all day - 9am to 9pm! And she was positive and energetic the whole time. Her price was more than reasonable.
