Ashley Steeby Photography

I was very picky when it came to selecting a photographer, so I knew the second I saw Ashley’s photos that I was going to love her! She and her husband, James, were the perfect team to assist on our big day. Since so many hours are spent with your photographer, you definitely want to choose someone with a great personality, who is going to make you feel comfortable, and who will make taking photos fun. Ashley and James checked these boxes! They also got the photos back to me in unbelievable time! From beginning, to end, I was very happy and impressed with them both! Since these photos are the memories we will have forever, they were well worth every penny spent!

My now husband and I are not big into taking a lot of pictures and really aren't comfortable in front of a camera, however, Ashley and James are the most amazing people and helped us through our engagement session and ultimately created an absolute gorgeous wedding album. Ashley is super fun and upbeat to work with and truly captures the most stunning portraits of yourself. James is also very laid back and works great with the guys and gets some awesome shots of the guys. I never felt as beautiful as I did that day for my wedding and Ashley got every single moment!! I cannot recommend them enough for the amazing work they do and thank them for being apart of such a big day in my life! I am so thrilled I get to enjoy these photographs for the rest of my life!

Premiere and professional photographers. Ashley and James have helped us celebrate and share so many monumental moments in our lives: engagement, wedding, pregnancy announcement, maternity & family photographs over many, many years. We cherish the experience with them and deeply love the photos of our family. We are forever grateful!! They are such a sweet and easy going couple that makes for a comfortable, relaxed, and enjoyable experience! I can highly recommend them (and I do, to everyone!).

Ashley and James are the creme de la creme of wedding photography. Their talent of not only capturing the obvious wedding shots but capturing those little details and special moments you never knew you wanted. They are effortless in gently directing you and your partner and family members to capture the genuine candid moments you will cherish forever. Ashley and James are incredibly responsive, kind, accommodating, and professional but also a joy to have on your wedding day as their presence is so relaxing and non intrusive whatsoever. The pictures that we have from both our weddings (covid & big) are stunning and are so deeply cherished. I have now recommended them to my brother who is getting married and we will continue to always use her for family photos and events from here on out. She and James are the only people we could think of trusting to capture the most tender and sweet moments of our life. Nothing is easier than choosing them to capture your most special day.

My husband and I got married at Oldfield in Okatie, SC. I vetted dozens of photographers until I found Ashley and James. They above and beyond exceeded my expectations with our wedding photos!! I find a new favorite every time I look at our gallery. They were so kind, patient, wonderful and professional to work with day of. Ashley caught all the little details, snapped so many sweet moments we had no idea were even being captured during our party and ceremony. Photo booth was a huge hit! It makes me so sad we don’t live closer or I’d use them annually for family/milestone photos! Don’t hesitate. They are true professionals and you will be blown away by the wedding photo collection they deliver! I can’t say enough great things! Thanks A&J!

It's incredibly unfortunate that I have to write this review but I feel that other brides should be warned. We hired Ashley to photograph our wedding in St. Augustine, FL which was set for November of 2020. We met with Ashley and her husband for a half hour in February of 2020 to get to know each other. We signed the contract to hire her in February 2020. One month later, March 2020, Covid hit and we had to put our wedding on hold. In July 2020, we notified ALL of our vendors that due to Covid, we had to reschedule our wedding and we didn't know exactly when it would be rescheduled for. Everyone was so understanding and on hold because of the pandemic. There is an email with this information being delivered to Ashley. She claimed that she didn't know the November wedding wasn't happening until one week before the November date, which is again, crazy because she responded to our email later in July. I tried to rehire her for our new date, June 2021, and Ashley was already booked. She then said she was going to keep our deposit of thousands of dollars, and that we were responsible for the remaining balance. I went back and forth with Ashley in emails showing her that she knew that the November date wasn't happening, but she was not budging and threatened to take "legal action" on me. What? Why? YOU kept my money for doing NO work. We gave her a handful of times to do the right thing and send our money back, and she denied our request over and over again. I ended up having to bring Ashley Steeby to court, ONE MONTH before my wedding to handle this. And then our second hearing was 14 DAYS before our wedding. Obviously, the judge ruled in our favor and ordered that she has to pay back the money we gave her once he saw all of the evidence. The anxiety I went through from this is indescribable. Planning a wedding is already a lot, then during Covid adds more stress, then this lawsuit? I wasn't sleeping, wasn't eating and was completely broken out in hives just 2 weeks before our wedding because of this woman. Ashley has now blocked me on all social media so I cannot reach her, it's been over a month month since the court ordered her to pay us back and we still haven't received anything. She didn't even reach out ONCE to apologize for how she handled the situation. I gave this woman probably a dozen chances to fix how she handled this and to clear her name, but she keeps digging a deeper hole for herself by not responding, and not returning our money. I'm a business owner and entrepreneur myself, and i can say that the way she conducted her business made me NEVER want to do business like she did. Save yourself the lawsuit, the headache, the hives and the money and find someone who will actually care about your special day, not just about the money they will make.

Ashley & James were recommended by one of my best friends/bridesmaids who booked them for her own wedding in the fall of this year. They are an awesome couple who genuinely love what they do, and it shows! They are no stranger to the wedding venue my husband and I selected so we knew they'd be comfortable shooting in all types of lighting (our venue was primarily indoors). While I provided them with some inspiration photos ahead of time, I knew they would produce magic and they didn't disappoint. Honestly, there are so many great photos to choose from it's making our wedding album selections VERY difficult! haha Whether you've been in front of the camera a lot or prefer to be behind the lens, they make even the staged photos feel relaxed and authentic. We can't wait to see them again to take anniversary photos! But in the meantime, we'll continue to scroll through our wedding gallery to relive this once-in-a-lifetime day.

Seriously, look no further, you have found your wedding photographer! Ashley and James are the BEST! Their photos are gorgeously flattering and bright. Our venue was all inside and I was worried about not having enough of the natural light look— that was not a problem for this team. Plus, they are so fun and made us feel so comfortable when we are usually very uncomfortable taking pictures. They are the best!

Ashley Steeby is LITERALLY the best. I am so, so glad that we hired her for our wedding in September! Our experience with her from the start was wonderful. We had our engagement photography session (which was included in our package!) a few months after we signed our contact - this was great not only for having engagement photos to use for our Save the Date, but it was so nice to get to know Ashley and her husband James! They truly make you feel very comfortable in front of the camera and make it fun. I LOVE Ashley's style of editing too - her photos are so bright and natural. Our wedding day with her and James was perfect. She really makes it easy, laidback and the photos turn out stunning. On top of all of that - she also includes a photobooth! My husband and I both agree that one of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Ashley. She really is the best! We couldn't be happier!

Having great pictures was one of the major ares that my husband and I found most important and we are so glad we chose Ashley and James to be our photographers! They were amazing to work with and delivered the most beautiful pictures ever! They made us feel so comfortable and made sure we had all the pictures we wanted and they were all amazing. Best vendor choice we could have made!

Finally, after 4 months of wedded bliss, I have to accept that my picture-perfect day has come to the end! Where to even begin? As I type this, and look through all of my wedding pictures, I am crying. Ashley, and her husband, James, are the most incredible, talented, creative people you could ask to know. When I was booking my wedding venue, The Treasury on the Plaza, I would not commit until I knew that Ashley and James would be there. I had a surprise engagement with a photographer, which was magical, but awkward. I wasn't comfortable at all. Ashley and James were exactly the opposite. From meeting them at a bridal event, they were warm and charismatic. When we scheduled our Engagement shoot, I was so happy to have a re-do. Ashley was so helpful is helping us pose and look natural, and making my husband look great, while James was able to bond with him and carry my wine ( a huge responsibility). As our wedding day came, we used them for our photo booth, which has a huge hit for all of our guests, and doubled as our guest book. Ashley and James captured EVERY single moment of our wedding in the most perfect way. They have truly become lifelong friends, and I could not say enough great things about them. I fell so in love with every image, that we have an entire wall in our home dedicated to their photography. Ashley and James, you are simply the best.

Ashley and James are awesome!! They were so fun to work! From our engagement session to our wedding day everything was perfect! Love them and look forward to working with them in the future for family pics, etc!

Ashley and her husband James truly made my husband and my dreams come true!!! They captured our love and made every detail of our engagement and wedding feel like a dream!!! Their focus to detail and natural lighting are two things that we notice in every photo. Working with Ashley and James was a DREAM!!! We cannot wait to continue our friendship with this awesome duo.

Ahsley and her husband were such a pleasure to work with. The engagement photos were excellent and she really captured our personalities. Just the few sneak peeks we have seen are beautiful and we can't wait to get the full set from our wedding day. She is so creative and very easy to get along with.

I met Ashley at a Bridal expo earlier this year, and I'm so thrilled to have had her as our photographer. She is so sweet and patient- she is quite honestly the sweetest person I have met and can even consider her a friend. She pays close attention to your vision and will do everything in her power to make it ce alive for you in your photos! She even borrowed a canoe for my fishing-enthusiastic fiancé and I to use for our Engagement Photos. Very organized, very punctual and such a beautiful woman. I look forward to having her grow with us and our family as "our" photographer <3

We could not have been more pleased to have Ashley capture our wedding day! From the beautiful engagement session to the sneak peeks throughout the Big Day, Ashley is a dream to work with. Her patience, positivity, attentiveness and amazing talent made our experience fun and stress-free! We look forward to working with her for every step along the way, in which we wish to remember with gorgeous photos and a super sweet photographer.
