Ash (& Bri as second photographer) were absolutely amazing to work with. From initial conversations, to our engagement shoot, to the actual wedding, cannot recommend Ash and her team enough. We love the style of photography, and she made us feel at ease in all of our sessions. Huge thank you!!

Ashley was even more than a pleasure to work with. She has photographed our engagement shoot and wedding day thus far ;). We wanted to find a photographer who could create art from our shared experiences with loved ones and she has absolutely delivered! Ashley and her second shooter Ana arrived at the venue and took care of business. All I had to do was point them in the direction of my ‘box of trinkets’ and they created a flat lay that I just might hang in my house because it is so beautiful. They joined right into the chaos that is a wedding day and made sure everything regarding the timeline was smooth sailing. I cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond, not only on the wedding day but throughout the planning process. Ashley has created tools to help make sure she understands what you are looking for from the wedding photos by getting to know you. I knew I was going to get exactly what I was looking for because I felt she understood who we are as a people. They have captured the essence of our friends and family already and we have only seen the sneak peek. I am truly honored that we were able to work together to achieve my husband’s and my vision of joy and found family.
Photos were one of the most important aspects of the wedding to me because I have the memory of a goldfish. So, to have someone be able to capture the memories and not just the people have already brought me to tears. I cannot wait to work with her again when I need new memories captured for eternity because she will be my first call.

About this vendor
Ashley Deans
OWNER
AWARD WINNER (3X)
Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
At Field & Found, we believe your wedding is more than a beautiful celebration in Bellingham, WA — it is a rare gathering of the people who have shaped your story.
Parents and grandparents. Childhood friends and chosen family. The people who know where you have been, who are standing beside you now, and who will continue walking with you into the life you are building together.
Our approach blends refined, editorial imagery with honest observation, allowing you to stay fully present while we notice the moments you planned for, the ones you hoped for, and the ones you never saw coming.
We photograph weddings with a calm, thoughtful presence — guiding when direction brings ease, and stepping back when a moment needs room to unfold naturally. The result is imagery that feels elevated without feeling overly posed, intentional without feeling forced, and deeply connected to the people and emotions at the heart of your day.
For us, wedding photography is not simply about creating beautiful portraits, though we believe those matter too. It is about preserving the feeling of being surrounded by the people who made your story what it is. The steadying hand before the ceremony. The laughter across the dinner table. The embrace that lingers. The quiet glance you may not notice until you see it later.
Based in Central Florida and available for celebrations wherever your story gathers, Field & Found creates honest, refined wedding imagery for couples who value presence, connection, and photographs that feel like home.
The Knot independently assesses vendors for this award—it’s never self-reported. We base it on firsthand experiences from real couples and guests, and they must have a 4.5-star average across 7+ reviews in the qualifying year.

Behind every passionate photographer is a reason for their art- their muse or inspiration. Mine is my mother. Just four short months before my own wedding, she passed away. Even though I felt her absence on my wedding day, what I remember most are the quiet moments when the women in my new family surrounded me with love and joy. My experience with my own wedding day inspired me to embrace the art of noticing. When your grandmother touches your face or your parents tearfully hold hands as you say your vows are precious moments- and I won't miss a single one.

Ashley was everything we hoped for in a wedding photographer. She was very responsive and available to us. She did an incredible job with our engagement photos and got them to us ...
quickly, even during the busy summer time. She was easy to work with throughout the planning phase and had great tips/suggestions for how to make the wedding day run smoothly. On the day of the wedding she was cool, calm, and collected. She remained positive and calm even when I started to get anxious. She adapted well to our day-of requests and helped us make sure we got all of the photos we wanted. We would highly recommend Ashley for any photography needs.

We cannot recommend Ashley enough! 5 stars doesn’t even begin to explain how amazing she was for our engagement and wedding photography. When we were choosing a photographer we dec...
ided that photography was the one thing we would a lot the most money too on our wedding day so we looked into A LOT of options. We were struggling to find one that had photos that looked unedited yet still warm and romantic until we found Ashley’s webpage! The engagement session was a ton of fun and the photos were amazing. She had great advice with recommended vendors and other things leading up to the day including a timeline for the days photography. With that being said our wedding day photos were BREATHTAKING! It decided to pour rain and we decided to just stand in the rain for a notebook moment and Ashley worked some magic. The entire time her mood helped keep us going and made the freezing cold more than worth it. She helped do family photos faster so family could get around the fire, and she was very thoughtful in asking us our comfort level with shooting in the rain/out of the rain and fully embraced it when we said in the rain. She hands down not only gave us jaw dropping photos but she was a welcome hype man of a guest. We are not big on getting photos of ourselves, but we will 110% get our photos done anytime by Ashley. If you are trying to decide between a couple of photographers you should hands down book Ashley. She is worth every penny.

We are so glad that we hired Ash to be our wedding photographer! Working with her put us at ease throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. She was communicative, prof...
essional, and so kind. We first stumbled upon her website when we were searching for a photographer local to Bellingham. We liked the look of the photos on her site and have since been blown away by the quality of her work. Ash really helped things run smoothly on our wedding day and by the end of the evening, she felt like a close friend. We particularly appreciated her commitment to documenting the “small moments” throughout our wedding day. We’ve had several wedding guests comment on how wonderful she was and remark about how beautiful her photos are. We will certainly cherish the engagement and wedding photos that she took for us as well as the experience of working with her and the rest of our vendor team!

s easy leading up to our wedding day and after. Shooting photos on the day of our wedding turned out to be way more fun than we could have hope for, especially on such a busy day, and we have Ashley to thank for that. We get our photos taken often, but Ashley was able to make us feel very comfortable and kept everything on schedule. We even needed a ride from our shoot location to the venue, and she was the first person to volunteer to help us get there and went above and beyond. We were so excited to finally see our finished photos and we loved everything we saw. We would definitely recommend Ashley in the future.

o make you laugh which makes for priceless photos. She is by far one of the kindest, most loving person I have ever met, all of which shows in the perfection and dedication of her work. Ashley is a versatile photographer who can beautifully capture any occasion, whether it be indoors or out, traditional or nontraditional. Her ability to adapt to any situation/environment and to photograph small details and candid moments were far beyond our expectations. She has done our engagement photos, our traditional hindu wedding photos and our reception photos; all of which the quality of her work is exceptional and simply impeccable! She not only captured organic moments in priceless photos of my husband and I, but she photographed extremely precious ones of our dear family members; photos that we will forever cherish. I can honestly sit here and go on and on for the simple fact that Ashley is JUST THAT GREAT!! ❤
