Ashley Wexler Photography

ional, and made it fun. Her energy was calming and if you’re someone who doesn’t know what to do with your hands, she’s got you. She got us our photos very promptly without skimping on the edits, not over doing it and making you look like someone else. She is all about checking off your photo list and getting you that one shot you have your heart set on.

re thrilled with both our engagement and wedding photos. And after seeing the photos, we had friends tell us they want to renew their vows just so they can have Ashley photograph them! Ashley goes beyond just photographer and offered me help with choosing an outfit for the engagement shoot, she spoke with our novice videographer to help him feel at ease and she worked great with all of our other vendors. She was also seamless with communicating and rallying our bridal party and families for group photos. Go for Ashley, you won’t regret it!!

shley through The Knot at the outset of our wedding planning process. Being from the Bay Area myself, it was important to me to have a wedding photographer who knew the region well and her expertise and familiarity with the area impressed me in our initial conversations. However, my now-husband and I currently live on the East Coast, adding an additional layer of complexity for scheduling and planning. Ashley was patient with us as we nailed down a date and a venue before we were ready to confirm a photographer and she answered all of our questions about the logistics and contracting process with candor and responsiveness. However, it was during our engagement session that we realized just how lucky we were to be working with Ashley. We had a limited window of time to do the shoot while back in the Bay Area visiting family, and the forecast had some rain for the date we selected. Ashley was positive and upbeat the entire time, not complaining once about the weather and making it a super fun experience for us as well. Ashley is so talented that she was able to “make lemonade out of lemons,” leveraging the challenging circumstances to produce beautiful and unique photos that we absolutely love. In advance of our actual wedding, our travel schedule from the East Coast meant that we weren’t able to do a walkthrough of the venue with Ashley. She went above and beyond, reaching out to the venue to set up a separate walkthrough and sending us shots of various backdrops to get our feedback. She also scouted offsite locations for our golden hour photos. On the day of the wedding, seeing Ashley felt like seeing an old friend. Getting ready and first look are both very emotional parts of the day so we felt so fortunate that we felt so comfortable with her there to document it all. She also calmly and cheerfully was able to adapt and go with the flow on our wedding day, even when the toasts ran long. This was when her knowledge of the area really shone - she was able to capture stunning golden hour photos with a beautiful view that feel both very unique to us as well as rooted in the Bay Area, the place we call home - all under a compressed timeline. Her eye for the right framing and locations around the wedding venue itself also made for gorgeous, artistic photos that we were thrilled with. We cannot recommend Ashley highly enough!

and I are not big picture people, but Ashley captured all our special moments so beautifully! No matter your photography needs, Ashley is your girl :D

e her a hug for being so amazing. Our wedding ceremony was very intimate so it really was just us and Ashley having fun. Her photography direction was organic and easy to follow , it was like hanging out with a friend rather photographer. I really appreciated how creative she was and was willing to work with our ideas but also tell us what wouldn’t work with how the lighting was in the venue. She sent us a sneak peak that night and I was blown away. She captured our family better than I could have imagined. Our venue was at San Francisco city hall so with all the marble and gold I envisioned an ethereal goddess vibe for my picture - and boy did Ashley deliver! My husband and I are so happy with how the pictures turned out. I can’t stop looking at our album and I am excited to work with Ashley again in the future.

wedding photo ideas, to actual wedding day and getting shots organized- she was on it. Her quick responsiveness to goings-on and capturing moments at a whim, to reading a room, a moment, capturing calmness and party modes; her skills are unmatched. The teaser previews we received along the way as she touched up photos got us excited to see the final set- and the presentation and organization of the final set is gorgeous; it’s not just a folder of photos- but a time capsule of your day that you get to cherish, and moments you didn’t think happened, are there waiting for you. End of the day, if you don’t hire Ashley- sorry not sorry for your photographer decision. She is, hands down, the queen of photography. Anyone can snap a picture, but a photographer captures the moment, the emotions, the happiness shared, and the love, and presents you a true photograph, not just a picture, and you can relive the memories forever.

ion us and made recommendations to make sure we got the photos of our dreams. She’s a master at her craft and she has the pics to prove it! So grateful she was available for our special day.

forever! She was a part of our life that day and felt like family! Definitely the best experience we have dealt with and would recommend to anyone looking for a heart felt personal touch and amazing photographer!

ley made me feel extremely comfortable and guided me like the professional that she is! One of my requests was to get candids of our guests throughout the day and she captured some really precious moments that I will continue to look back on throughout the years. She's extremely fun to be around and spreads an infectious joy which is such a comfort not only the bride and groom but the entire wedding party and guests. I can't speak highly enough of Ashley and would hire her again for any of our events!

ts on how wonderful she made people feel during our wedding. It is not very often that you find a vendor who just fits the pieces together so seamlessly. If we could give Ashley a million stars, we would do so without blinking an eye. Five is just not enough to rate how amazing this woman is to work with! From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You, Ashley...for everything!

ighly recommend Ashley!!

super talented photographer, she's also an amazing human and was so much fun to work with.

really appreciated her flexibility as we finalized all of the details. On the day of the wedding, she put everybody at ease during pictures with her positive attitude. I loved working with Ashley, and will definitely be reaching out to her again for any future photographs!

ots we should take. She was kind, fun, and also not obtrusive during the event. We got our photos back very quickly and loved them.

le : she has a unique eye and also created some of the most timeless, classical compositions. We look back on our wedding photos and we can remember what a wonderful day it was and how happy we and our family and friends were and that's all we could have wanted and hoped for!

the memories at our wedding without feeling like she was in our faces all the time. We absolutely LOVE the photos! My wife and I highly recommend Ashley. Anyone who chooses her will be very happy with the results, we definitely were!

g in front of a camera) had an enjoyable engagement photo session, and Ashley even got him to smile! So great job Ashley!! She was also super patient with me and my OCD, going back and forth with all my questions around colors of photos. She touched up and edited the photos more times than she would have likely cared to, but never made me feel like she was upset or angry with me (even though I'm sure she was not thrilled at all the extra work I was asking for). She was very pleasant to work with and super patient with me, which I really appreciated.

utifully and even in her candid shots you can feel what the people in the photos are feeling. She’s THAT GOOD! Ashley is an incredibly talented photographer who isn’t afraid to let you know what she wants in order to get those perfect shots. I highly recommend her!

r. She knew when to steal us away for impromptu pictures and did a great job orchestrating the family and bridal party pictures. When the pictures came back we were impressed that she was able to capture every detail, even the smallest details that ended up meaning so much. We've since used her for maternity photos and most recently to capture our now family of 4. She is a true artist and we can't thank her enough!

many moments. As the bride, I obviously missed so much, so when viewing my photos it was so special to feel like I attended my own wedding. She didn’t miss a thing! And the candids of all my guests are so special to us. The quality of the images are amazing! And she delivered the perfect plump size album. Enough to show she captured every special moment, but not too many that we were overwhelmed. Our ceremony was outdoors in natural light and our reception was inside a dimly lit barn- she nailed every shot! Ashley was simply wonderful to work with. She has photographed our wedding, our growing family and several friends weddings/ and special moments, every photos we see from her is so great!!
