Ashley photographed my daughter’s wedding last month and I could not be happier with the results! From the minute we booked with her until getting the pictures back, Ashley was so very helpful. Having never planned a wedding, my daughter and I had a lot of questions and there wasn’t one that she couldn’t answer for us. She went above and beyond to make sure those 10 months of planning were as stress free as possible. Ashley was able to give great references for the other vendors we needed. She was available to my daughter and I anytime we had concerns about anything wedding related. She is extremely knowledgeable, not to mention patient. She was a calming presence for us on the wedding day and made all of our bridal party feel like models when we were in front of the camera. Ashley definitely has an eye for detail! She captured every decoration and made it look like something out of a magazine. We were surprised at how quickly Ashley got the pictures to us! My daughter and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how they turned out. She is the best of the best!
We chose Ashley as our photographer and we are SO glad we did! Ashley was extremely professional and very responsive. Any time we had questions or changed our minds about the timeline, she was very understanding! From working with her to our engagement pictures, my bridals, and our wedding day, she always went above and beyond to make our sessions with her everything we wanted and more!
Ashley is so amazing! She made our engagement session and wedding so wonderful. I felt so comfortable taking pictures with her. Her energy made everything feel so natural.
A photographer was something that was super important to my husband and me when planning our wedding. Ashley was nothing short of amazing and everything we wanted. I could not recommend Broad River Photography any more!
I would highly recommend Ashley! Easily the best experience ever. She was constantly making us laugh and making the experience so comfortable and natural. She does an amazing job at encouraging you as well as making you feel special. Not only was she amazing during our big day, she captured everything I could want and more. Our wedding photos are a DREAM. I am absolutely in love with all of her work!!! Hands down the best photographer!
Ashley has all the skills and gifts that make an amazing wedding photographer: she’s well-organized, great at time management, and prepared for anything. We had a tight schedule and sometimes had to work with difficult backgrounds, but Ashley didn’t just make it work—she made it look perfect and unhurried. Her bubbly and high-energy personality put everyone at ease, and made it comfortable for us to be ourselves. She gave clear directions without being too pushy or taking away from the moment, and has no trouble directing traffic.
But what makes Ashley a cut above other amazing photographers is her heart for what she does. Photography is about more than beautiful images for Ashley—it’s about the capturing moments where we can see love with our eyes. Her intuition and attention to detail led her to catch so many beautiful "moments in between" that could have easily slipped by in the rush. We’re so thankful that she was our photographer and highly recommend her.
TL;DR: Ashley’s intuition and practical skills combine to make her a phenomenal wedding photographer. Easiest decision of your planning process: Hire her!
Ashley was the most amazing photographer. I knew from our first phone call that she would make our day absolutely perfect and she did just that. She will be your biggest hype woman throughout the entire process, not to mention how talented she is! Both our engagement and wedding photos turned out better than I could imagine, and on top of that, she had them to us SO fast. I am already looking for the next excuse to get photos taken with her again. I could go on and on but Ashley is the full package. Look no further for your dream photographer.
Ashley was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very prompt and responded to all my questions very quickly and professionally. She was so much fun to work with during our engagement and bridal sessions. She made us feel so comfortable and even more confident. She was my number one hype girl, and made me feel absolutely stunning. I will never choose another photographer. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!!! Great job Ashley, with Broadriver Photography
Not only is Ashley an amazing photographer, but she generally cares about all of her clients. She thinks about every little detail and has the amazing ability to capture all the emotions of the day. I couldn't recommend her enough and she takes so much stress off of her clients as well, and does so much work to ensure you received it beautiful images.
There are so many good things I could say about Ashley and her amazing work. She was so organized and accommodating. We talked multiple times about how I wanted wedding day to run, the pictures I most wanted and every little detail in-between. She even sent me a planner to ensure she captured all the pictures I wanted and with the guests/family I wanted. This made wedding day smooth and when I received the pictures back, all the moments were captures. She was amazing coordinating group shots, family pictures and first looks. Through the chaos of wedding day, she was calm and kept our timeline on track. Her pictures speak for themselves. They are breathtaking. Guests throughout the day came up to me to commend Ashely on how well she was doing and told me how excited they were to see the pictures she took. I am so blessed that Ashley photographed our wedding and recommend her to everyone. My husband and I are planning on taking 1 year anniversary pictures, and we already know who we are going to schedule our session with. She is AMAZING.
Ashley did a phenomenal job as our photographer for both our wedding and engagement session! My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to document our wedding day. Not only is she the sweetest human being you will ever meet, but her photos are so beautiful and timeless. Ashley and her assistant, Taylor, did a fantastic job getting the family and bridal party together for photos and making sure we stayed close to our wedding day timeline. Ashley was so helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process and did a great job of making sure she captured all of the special moments on our wedding day. I can’t say enough good things about her… she’s the best!!
Ashley did a beautiful job. The photos were amazing. She pays attention to every little detail and makes sure everything is perfect. She is such a talented photographer and has the best personality! Everyone in my wedding party loved her! I can’t say enough great things. Highly recommend💜
I first met Ashley at my best friend's wedding where I was the Maid of Honor and I immediately fell in love. She is so professional and fun! She will make you feel like a million bucks!
Once I got engaged, Ashley was the first vendor I booked! Ashley took my engagement photos, my bridal photos, and then shot my wedding. My husband and I are so awkward during photos but somehow Ashley channeled our inner models and my oh my our photos are flawless!
The day of our wedding, it rained all morning. Ashley was so helpful in coordinating our schedule so we could get all the shots I wanted in between breaks in the rain! I ended up getting my outdoor first look in the setting I had dreamed of!!
Ashley is the BEST, so fun to work with and makes you feel so comfortable and like a movie star!! She is your biggest cheerleader behind the camera and makes you laugh constantly. I first saw her at work at my best friend’s wedding and instantly knew that I wanted her to be the photographer of my wedding! She is so personable and has the knowledge and resources that made my dreams come true! Looking back through my wedding pictures, I feel like I’m reliving my wedding all over again and I’m obsessed!!!
Ashley is an absolute sweetheart!! We loved every minute working with her! She did a fabulous job on our engagement and wedding pictures! HIGHLY recommend!
The best of the best, one of a kind, enthusiastic, talented, personable, and just straight up amazing are only a handful of ways I would describe Ashley at Broad River Photography. Ashley went out of her way to make our wedding day the most magical day of our lives. She wasn’t just a photographer, but quickly felt like a friend who was a part of our wedding party. Fixing my dress, leading us through every part of our day, and encouraging us every step of the way are just a few things that she was able of do for us on our wedding day. She truly made every photo opportunity and extension of our day feel comfortable, natural, and personable. She was never in the way and made sure that we enjoyed every second of our day. There were no awkward, quiet photo moments as she is bubbly and truly a HOOT. Ashley embraced our crazy ideas and always found a way to make our dreams come true. We will forever use Broad River Photography to capture every life moment.
Ashley is an absolute dream to work with! We are obsessed with both our engagement and wedding photographs; they're absolutely stunning. She was completely flexible with our engagement shoot location and even worked our dogs into some of our photos! She made our wedding day effortless and we'll be cherishing these photos for years to come. She's a true talent and made two unphotogenic people look amazing. We can't recommend her enough!
Ashley is amazing! She takes the most beautiful pictures while also being the sweetest lady on the planet! She is the greatest hype-woman and will keep you and your entire wedding party laughing. No awkward, silent group pictures with her! I would recommend her to anybody that I know!
I am so glad we chose Broad River Photography to photograph our wedding! I cannot praise Ashley enough for her incredible talent. She is so precious and goes above and beyond to get the shot and make her clients happy! Her work is stunning and absolutely worth every penny. We are IN LOVE with every photo!
Ashley is amazing! Her energy and genuineness is unmatched! We loved working with her! Very communicative and prompt. She captured our day perfectly! We sent her inspirational pictures that we liked that were taken at our venue and she made sure to capture every picture and more! Our pictures turned out better than we could have even imagined! Thank you sweet Ashley 🤍😊
There are no words to express how amazing Ashley is as a person and as a photographer. From the start of the day to the end, it felt like Ashley was just one of us girls, she is such a joy to have around. Her energy and positivity is contagious! She makes you feel incredibly comfortable and makes posing in front of the camera feel super natural. The pictures Ashley took of my wedding are absolutely stunning. Ashley went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we could’ve ever imagined & MORE! She captured every detail of the day so perfectly and makes me feel like I am reliving the entire day when I look back at all of the photos. Ashley is super efficient and flexible, she goes with the flow of the day and doesn’t let any obstacle get in her way. I can not say enough positive things about Ashley and Broad River Photography, she is truly phenomenal and her photographs are beyond stunning!! Highly recommend for any and all of your photography needs!!
If I were to dream of a perfect wedding photographer, it would be Ashley! Saying she is amazing is an understatement! She was a huge part of our wedding day team – bringing professionalism, attention to time/schedule, gentle but helpful direction, as well as being so sweet and fun. Ashley made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. Her photos have completely blown us away. Not only is she an absolute GEM but wow she is sooo incredibly talented!! Ashley has an amazing talent and a true passion for her art for capturing a weddings’ best moments! We would recommend Ashley and Broad River Photography for ANY and ALL your photography needs.
Ashley is an amazing Photographer and friend! I had the pleasure of having Ashley photograph our engagement photo shoot, as well as our wedding. I met Ashley 2.5 years ago and I am forever grateful! She made me feel like her family from day one and she always responded to me in a timely manner and never seemed like I was a bother. She has an amazing personality, an amazing I for photography and she is always punctual. She even gave me ideas of things to wear for the engagement shoot and the style of veil to go best with my dress! She’s the best hands down and we will cherish every image forever. Thank you Ashley! ♥️
I can’t say enough good things about Ashley. She is absolutely amazing and I will look for any reason to work with her again. Her energy is infectious and you can’t help but feel excited and giddy while working with her. We had multiple guests comment on how much fun she was! She is extremely easy to get in touch with and responds almost immediately. Her pictures are to DIE FOR! They captured the story of our day perfectly. Little details we want to remember are captured beautifully in her pictures. She is incredible!!!! You will not regret choosing her to capture your day.
Ashley has been absolutely amazing from the very start! She knows what she’s doing that’s for sure! I went to school for production and design and have worked with the top entertainment company in the world….I say that because I tend to put photographers in the area under a little “test”. I went through 3 “photographers” before I found Ashley.
From our first conversation, I was “talking to talk” to see if she can “walk the walk”. She impressed me from the start (opposed to the other 3 that had a fancy camera but didn’t have the knowledge needed to capture the perfect shot).
I tell Ashley every day that she’s my dream photographer. I could not have imagined a more perfect experience than the one I have had with Ashley! Not only did I score amazing photos that are completely timeless, but I scored a lifelong friendship in Ashley as well!
Trust me, she’s the best there is in this area by far!
My husband and I first met Ashley, when friends recommended her for couples photo shoot. She made taking pictures so fun and we absolutely loved working with her! Ever since that first photo session, she has been with us through surprise proposal photos, engagement photos, and of course our wedding photos! Ashley was so much more than our photographer she was a special guest and a part of our big day. Yes, her photos are STUNNING but the face behind the camera makes the experience. We absolutely love her and will be working with her for years to come!
WOW! Ashley was absolutely incredible from start to finish!!! I immediately knew after our first phone call that she was going to be our photographer. She made me feel at ease and answered all my questions (many of which I didn’t even know to ask), all without being pushy. Throughout the process, she was communicative and available. Ashley has such an inviting, genuine, and lively spirit that made us feel relaxed and excited about getting our photos taken (which is not something we necessarily enjoy doing)! She was my biggest cheerleader and I couldn’t be more thankful! I really felt empowered and both the engagement and wedding day photoshoots were FUN! She provided the perfect mix of direction without making every picture feel staged or over-done. I’m obsessed with the light, romantic look of our photos and all of our family and friends swooned over our photos. I can’t reiterate enough how incredible Ashley was throughout the entire process and how happy we were with the final results! I will definitely be re-hiring her in the future to help us document other milestones and would recommend her to anyone!
Working with Ashley is always enjoyable. She is kind, enthusiastic, adventurous, and brings so much joy into every photo shoot she does. I’ve worked with her several times and every single time it’s an absolute delight. There is truly nothing she can’t do! Ashley gets incredible pictures and makes you feel beautiful. I love getting in front of her camera, she has so many great ideas and is so talented.
Ashley is the ABSOLUTE best. Her energy is contagious and she made us feel so comfortable. She captured literally over 1,000 photos of us the day of our wedding and her detail shots are unbelievable and help me cherish each moment at our wedding. Did I mention she captured this all by herself?! She’s beyond amazing! Our photos are beyond perfect and I can’t thank her enough!
Ashley was hands down the most PERFECT photographer I could have picked for my wedding!!! Her personality & portfolio mixed with her years of experience gave me confidence that she would deliver the most beautiful photos, and I was proven right! Our engagement session was a dream and Ashley kept us entertained and hyped us up the entire time. Our wedding day was nothing less- and all of the party, family, and guests have told us numerous times how much they loved Ashley, and how fun she was. We didn’t have a videographer for our wedding so we relied heavily on her as she was the only one capturing our day- and she delivered way more than I could have asked for! If you want classy, elegant, and bright photos, she is the girl for you!! She has been the biggest joy to work with and is truly such a kind soul. We couldn’t have picked a better photographer to capture our special day 💛
Not only is Ashley’s work to die for, but she is such a beautiful person inside & out! I have no idea what I would have done without her on my big day (I was so off schedule and it was raining) but she got all the pictures, more than I could’ve imagined, and they exceeded all of my expectations. Her bubbly personality makes you so comfortable to be around, like you’ve known her for years! Her positivity just radiates to others around her; I would 100000/10 recommend her to anyone who asks, by far my favorite person to have worked with.
Ashley was absolutely amazing! She takes beautiful pictures and is so energetic and cares so much about her clients. I would definitely recommend her!!
My experience with Ashley was absolutely amazing! She is so kind and bubbly and makes the greatest moments of your life even better! I couldn't recommend her enough!!!
I could not recommend Ashley enough! She can make ANYONE feel confident and comfortable during a shoot. We actually changed our original first choice wedding date so Ashley could be our photographer. Wouldn’t have picked anyone else for my photos!
As a wedding planner, it is not an easy task to find a photographer who is not only professional and organized, but can stick to a timeline to make the day run smooth, all while putting the wedding party and Bride and Groom at ease and making it fun for them! Her email response time is amazing, as well as her photo turnaround time! She is an absolute joy to work with! She made my life and my job so much easier on the day of! I can not recommend Ashley enough! Also, I was amazed to see she can do it all without a second shooter! Super impressive! She is the best!
As a wedding planner and florist I come in contact with a lot of photographers and Ashley is TOP NOTCH! She arrived early, stayed late, kept to the timeline and was everyone’s biggest cheerleader. You 1000% want Ashley on your team on your big day!
Ashley went above and beyond to make sure all the photo shoots (bridals, engagement, and day of) were perfect! She was always on time or early for the events and really made us comfortable when taking pictures! Her pictures she takes are absolutely perfect and you can tell she takes pride in each and every picture! you are crazy if you dont use her!
Ashley is THE PERFECT photographer. If you’re like me and hate making decisions, I’ll help you out. Fill out a Contact Form right now! You won’t regret it 😊 Patrick and I were so blessed to have found her. There are soooo many reasons to book with her, but I’ll just share a few…
1. She is AMAZING at what she does. Total professional. I mean just look at her portfolio. She uses natural light and knows what the heck she is doing behind a camera.
2. She is the best HYPE women. She makes you feel like a million bucks and so at ease. My husband and I are not ones to have our pictures taken, but she made it so much fun for the both of us!
3. Her VALUE is unmatched… and believe me I did my research. I probably looked at 50 different photographers on the Knot. The first time I talked to her on the phone, I knew she was who I wanted! She asked all the right questions to learn about us and walked me through everything I need to know.
4. Her ENERGY is contagious. Wedding days are long and tiring but having a photographer that kept us smiling and laughing all night was gift. My family talked about how much they loved her for an hour after she left!
We are looking forward to her taking our pictures in the years to come!
If I could describe Ashley in only one word it would be, exceptional! Ashley was probably my favorite part of my wedding planning. She always went above and beyond for me and my husband. Even if I had an issue that wasn't wedding related, Ashley was there to help. We got to meet her during our engagement session and that was both mine and my husband's first ever experience with taking professional pictures and from the moment we met Ashley, we felt comfortable. It was like meeting up with an old friend for coffee. We talked, laughed, and really got to know each other. The pictures? We. Were. Blown. AWAY! We knew she was good, based on other reviews, but to experience her talents and charm yourself, is indescribable. She makes you feel like the most beautiful person in the world, and then you see the pictures when she is done and you are truly in awe. Our families also couldn't say enough good things about her!
The wedding day she made us and our whole family feel comfortable. She is so easy to talk to and get along with. She was everywhere, and we are still stumped at how she did it! Looking through our gorgeous pictures we found ourselves asking "how was she there, there AND there?" She captured so many incredible moments. Both the "professional" ones and the "casual" ones.
When you hire Ashley you are adding someone to your wedding arsenal that is knowledgable, kind, funny, smart and downright wonderful. I already know that when the time comes for pictures of any kind in the future, we won't hesitate to hire her. I promise you, you won't want to miss out having Ashley on your team!
We had so much fun working with Ashely!!! When our first planned day didn’t work because of weather, she was so easy to communicate with and find a new day for our pictures. We had never had professional pictures taken before, but she made them so effortless!! We will definitely be taking more pictures with her in the future. Couldn’t recommend her enough.
Ashley was incredible to work with! She created a package just for me and was available 247 to answer all of my questions! She went above and beyond to make every photo amazing! I would recommend her 100 times over! Working with Ashley and getting these photos was my favorite part of my wedding!!!
We knew from the moment we had the phone consultation with Ashley that we had picked the right photographer. Her enthusiasm and joy for her craft made us all the more excited for our wedding and getting to work with her. My husband and I recommend Broad River Photography to anyone who is searching. She was basically our hype woman and made us feel so comfortable and not at all awkward (like I’ve felt with other photographers in the past). She made the photo sessions fun for everyone involved, my mom couldn’t stop raving about how fun she was after the bridal session! Ashley is the greatest and most patient, she was willing to answer any of my style questions no matter what it was about. There aren’t enough words to describe how great our experience was. We highly highly highly recommend Broad River Photography to anyone searching for an energetic, fun, amazing photographer, you won’t regret it! We promise.
I absolutely LOVED working with Ashley! From our engagement shoot to our wedding day she has wow'd me with both her skill and customer service. Her enthusiasm is contagious and she'll keep you smiling and laughing throughout a shoot. So happy we went with Broad River Photography!
Ashley is nothing short of amazing. She’s kind, funny, professional, energetic, timely, and makes your time behind her camera amazing. She’s super helpful with getting all the details right for your photo shoots. She is attentive to making sure your needs are met, and exceeded all of my hopes and desires. I cannot get over her ability to make your wedding day come to life. I love every single photo she took, not to mention she supply’s you with tons of photos. I highly recommend Ashley for any of your photo needs!
All I can say is WOW. Ashley was absolutely everything and more that I ever could have wanted out of a wedding photographer. She went above and beyond for our engagement pictures, creating a totally unique look that fit both my husband and I, she’s the best hype man that you possibly could find (she even had my husband smiling naturally and enjoying the pictures.. how? Idk), her work is absolutely AMAZING, and she’s affordable. Our wedding day turned out nothing like we had planned. Pouring rain and about an hour and a half later than anticipated. The natural light was 100% gone (like pitch black), the rain and mud were a disaster, but Ashley found a way to make our wedding pictures even better than I could have hoped for. She rolled with the punches and was such a trooper. She helped me stay calm and just worked her magic. She stayed later than she planned and worked her butt off just to make sure we had everything we needed. I honest to goodness could not rate her high enough. If you’re on the hunt for a photographer, HIRE HER, HIRE HER, HIRE HER.
Signed,
An elated bride 💕
Ashley had no idea what she was getting herself into by agreeing to be my daughter’s wedding photographer! During the engagement photo session someone busted out her car window and stole her purse and cell phone. Then my daughter’s wedding was scheduled for 5/30/2020 but Covid had other plans. Ashley was so determined to make Miranda’s wedding experience as normal as possible under the circumstances. She located a very unique and beautiful location for her bridal portraits right in the middle of the shut down! Then when we were forced to reschedule the wedding to a later date on a Friday night Ashley didn’t think twice about it and shifted her schedule to capture the event perfectly! Ashley is the most professional and personable photographer I have ever dealt with. She was so easy to work with and made the photo sessions enjoyable, capturing every tiny detail perfectly. Thank you, Ashley!
From the moment we meet Ashley at a local coffee shop I knew that I wanted her to photograph mine and Jimmy’s wedding! Not only is her work beautiful, but she is the most sweet and caring person I’ve ever meet! My husband and myself were very nervous going into our engagement session but Ashley made us feel so comfortable. After our engagement session I couldn’t imagine not having Ashley photograph our wedding. We can’t wait to get Ashley to photograph the next big milestones in our life!
Ashley is the best!! She made our session so much fun while being professional! We LOVED our photos!
Ashley is absolutely incredible to work with! She is so unbelievably kind, sweet and fun. Ashley is easy to talk to and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She made every step of the planning process so easy for us. From providing a style guide for our engagement session and a wedding day timeline, she made everything so simple. Ashley went above and beyond to make our special day everything we imagined and more! Her personality and energy is contagious and her passion and love for her work is evident in her beautiful photos. I would absolutely recommend Broad River Photography for any wedding as Ashley truly captured all of our special moments!
Ashley is a beast! She works so hard to make you feel like the most gorgeous couple she’s ever worked with! Both through her words and her gorgeous pictures! She showed up an hour early to my wedding and our engagement shoot!
Ashley is a doll to work with and made Alex feel so comfortable taking his picture.
Working with Ashley was a dream come true for us! When we began wedding planning we never could have imagined a global pandemic trying to derail our plans but through it all Ashley was a constant source of support. She truly cares about her clients and makes those who do not even enjoy having their picture taken smile and laugh! Her pictures are absolutely spectacular and you will not find a more genuine or kind hearted photographer! We absolutely loved working with her and are so thankful that she has become our photographer for life and our dear sweet friend.
Ashley Koch of Broad River Photography was "spot on" from our first telephone conversation to the delivery of our photographs just one week after our wedding. From the beginning, I was impressed with her professionalism, enthusiasm, and organizational skills. On wedding day, it was pure fun! Ashley was on schedule from beginning to end. She interacted with all of our family and friends as she worked - the result was phenomenal. We have wonderful pictures to remember our day. I highly recommend her services. I am certain that she enjoys her clients as much as they appreciate and enjoy her!
There aren’t enough words to adequately describe how incredible Ashley is! She is the most talented photographer around without a doubt. Not only can she take an amazing photo, but she also somehow captures each couple’s unique personality in each shot! My husband is extremely uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Ashley’s extraordinary ability to make even the most camera shy people feel at home had him feeling like a supermodel! She was always on time and checked in regularly throughout our engagement to see how things were going. I know I’ve already said this once but it’s true. She’s THE BEST!
I had the best experience with Ashely. She did everything from my engagements, bridals and wedding. My favorite thing about working with Ashley was that on the wedding day she had a plan. She knew exactly what photos to take and made everything happen in a planned fashion. She truly made my wedding day so much easier. She was available to jump in and help move things along the best she could. I also loved working with Ashley because she makes you feel beautiful, just as you should on your wedding day. I feel like I had the perfect day and I did not have to worry about pictures because I knew Ashley would capture all the moments. If I could do this day over and over again I would absolutely chose Broad River Photography again and again.
All of my vendors were amazing, but Ashley was my favorite. There were 3 main things that really set her apart.
1. The quality of her photos. Every single one of my wedding pictures looks like it came out of a magazine. Even the picture of green beans served at my wedding reception looks incredible. She did such a great job staging all of the photos so that everyone looked good, and the lighting of every one of my pictures looked beautiful and soft. She made sure to take photos of everything I could have ever wanted a picture of - the dress, jewelry, venue details, rings, invitation, food, decor, ceremony, every composition of family members I could have ever wanted, dances, candids, bridal portraits, wedding party, getting ready, etc. Her attention to detail made it so that I didn't have to worry about whether or not she was going to get a picture of something. She also had so many great ideas for poses and had a great system for taking pictures efficiently.
2. Her attitude was amazing. She was so upbeat and energetic, which really made a difference when I was standing in the sun taking pictures for a couple hours. You can tell she really enjoys what she does and is passionate about it. She also made me and everyone else in the photos feel special and comfortable. She was constantly yelling out compliments and suggestions and made the experience really fun. She was able to wrangle all of my family members and get through photographing everyone, and still left everyone feeling happy.
3. She was super accommodating to any and all requests that I had. When I asked her to photograph my husband's and my class rings, she was happy to do so. When I asked if we could get a full family portrait of all of my husband's parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins - sure no problem. When I asked if I could recreate a special picture of my high school friends, done! When we wanted to take pictures in another part of the wedding venue to get a change of scenery, Ashley found a golf cart and drove us around herself.
So all in all, I cannot recommend Ashley/ Broad River Photography enough. I have gotten so many compliments on my photos, and I can't wait to find another opportunity to use her services again in the future.
Ashley was phenomenal to work with! I was absolutely blown away by the pictures I received. However, I already knew her pictures were amazing, so it was other things about Ashley that impressed me the most. She has done many weddings and you can tell in her work ethic. The wedding atmosphere can get chaotic and she worked through it with ease capturing each moment I wanted. My wedding was a challenge! The weather did not cooperate so everything got moved inside. I had my heart set on getting some shots outside so without me asking she brought an umbrella, and watched the weather all day for opportunities to go out. She worked In a room full of guests and still got all our family portraits done within 10-15 minutes. She was probably the most efficient person i have met. She got things done quick in chaos, while still remaining calm, smiling, rearranging things quick because of circumstances, and still providing me perfect pictures! You can tell she knows what she’s doing because she acts quick and has a solution for every “bump in the road”. No matter what you can trust you will get quality pictures with her. Her prices are great and very reasonable, she is extremely sociable, and easy to work with. She even shouted compliments at me the whole time I was behind the lense and it loosened me up! She was available anytime I had any questions leading up to the wedding and was extremely easy to get in touch with. Overall, going with Ashley was a great choice because she has mastered her practice as a photographer. Being a photographer is more than just the pictures, it is how you adapt and work in your environment With your client and Ashley has it down pat.
I will forever recommend Broad River Photography for everyone’s future weddings. I spent wayyy to long researching vendors for my wedding and when I stumbled upon BRP I discovered that her packages were super affordable and her pictures were gorgeous.. I thought it had to be to good to be true. But no. When I asked for more information, Ashley called me and treated me like her best friend and I KNEW that she had to be my photographer. She did my engagement pictures and my wedding pictures and I could not be happier. Ashley made me feel comfortable, and beautiful every step of the way. She catered to our schedule and helped out everywhere she could. She even helped me carry my dress and take off my shoes when they started to hurt. She goes above and beyond. If you are looking for GORGEOUS pictures, WONDERFUL customer service and AFFORDABLE packages.. you don’t need to look anywhere else.
Ashley was truly the best, having her as a part of our wedding day made everything so magical! She is such a joy to be around from our engagement session, to bridals and then to our wedding she always did such a great job! She got our pictures back to us super fast and they were all gorgeous! She is truly an amazing photographer and such a sweet person!
Broad River Photography is the best! She captured my wedding in every way possible!!! Her work is absolutely amazing! She is the best to work with she makes it so much fun! She will help in any way possible to make it easy on everyone on your special day even working with my crazy kids all over the place I love her work
My husband and I are OBSESSED with our wedding photos! I actually was unsure whether I wanted “bright and airy” or “dark and moody” photos, so Ashley sent us both! She did such a wonderful job and captured every moment perfectly. Not to mention, she such a sweetheart and genuinely cares about getting the perfect photos for you. Thank you so so much Ashley! ❤️
