Ashley Reed Photography

Without a doubt, one of the best wedding decisions we made was hiring Ashley Reed Photography. I wanted to begin with that statement before I continue and share how they were the most marvelous photography pair and why I would hire them all over again. Just over a year from our wedding date, we found Ashley Reed Photography from photos we found of their work on Instagram. Upon reaching out, we had a video call with Stefan within the week and he asked so many thoughtful questions to make sure we would be good fits for one another. We began with our engagement shoot in October 2023 at the Carnegie Museum of Art and Natural History. When we met there, he quickly put us at ease and relaxed to begin our shoot, as it's not every day you're taking professional photos. Stefan was so funny and you could tell from the photos that my fiance and I both thoroughly enjoyed the shoot and we were excited to have the photos back eventually and to spend our wedding day with Stefan and Ashley. Ashley had the photos edited and back to us surprisingly soon after, they were AMAZING. There were so many great photos from the shoot we had trouble picking just two for our save the dates. Periodically through the next year, Ashley and Stefan would reach out and ask if we needed anything and what they could help with. Between 3-6 months out, they sent us a wedding planning profile and the most helpful document I would receive from a vendor, the timeline creator with suggestions on how to time things, how much time things would take, and where different events during the day should land. I cannot stress enough how much this helped, because I ended up sending this to every single vendor for the day and this kept everything so organized and I couldn't believe it came from my photographer. Seriously, these guys are experienced rockstars and know what they're doing! Wedding Day! We had chosen an 8 hour package for our wedding day and Ashley and Stefan were prompt and from the moment they walked through the door, they were ON! They had prepped me beforehand on what details I should have ready for them and in the wedding planning profile- what photos, people, special moments, etc. I would want, so they were ready to go. This was my first time meeting Ashley in-person and she was so kind and professional, she knew what she was doing. I cannot tell you how much experience helped the day go smoothly. They were ready at every location and no photo was missed, they checked-in with me at every location we were at before we would leave if there were any additional photos I wanted and so I didn't miss anything. The last photos we had were about 15 minutes of dancing photos and then they headed out after checking-in with me. Less than one week after the wedding, Ashley sent me our sneak peek photos, fully edited and ready to share. DAZZLED. It was awesome to have wedding photos so soon after the wedding to hold me over until the full gallery would be ready. She picked so many good ones and I was able to use one immediately to create our "Thank You" cards and send them off. Less than 2 months later, here we are today and I have my entire wedding galley in-hand. The photos are beyond what I could have asked for and I'm soooo happy. They did an amazing job and I will cherish all of these photos always. I highly recommend Ashley Reed Photography, you will not be disappointed. They were so helpful and kind all the way through. If you want to love your photos, choose them.

Ashley Reed Photography was wonderful to work with for our wedding. Their communication prior to and during our wedding was perfect. They are clearly experts with all things weddings. We are so happy with our pictures that we will treasure forever!

We absolutely loved our engagement session with Stefan! Both Stefan and Ashley are so laid back but know exactly what they’re doing when it comes to posing and making their clients feel comfortable! Ashley is amazing at answering any questions and helping out with anything wedding related not just photography! Ashley took the time to help outfit planning and our pictures turned out stunning! I can’t wait for them both to photograph our wedding!

After looking at many portfolios and having several conversations with potential photographers for our wedding, it was clear that Ashley Reed was the photographer for us. Stephan was incredible to work with when dealing with the contract and payments. The day of was of course a busy day. With an abundance of rain the night before, but thankfully blue skies the day of our wedding, Ashley and her assistant photographer helped with a few bumps in the road-not to mention a lot of family members coming together for formal photos-not an easy task. I have to say that I don’t really remember seeing the photographers the rest of the night as they did an incredible job and never once hindered our celebration. The turn around time on our final photos was unbelievable and the end result was gorgeous! I would highly recommend working with this amazing crew!
