Grind & Press Photography

There aren't enough words to express my deepest sincerity of gratitude towards Ashley. She isn't just a photographer by the end of the process, she is a genuine friend! She turned all my worries and insecurities into a magical work of art. She is a MASTER at her profession. Everything I felt worried about on my wedding day, she did everything she could to make me feel at ease and took so much stress off of me, even when she didn't have to. She even completed a photography timeline for me and had everything running perfectly smooth for me in other areas of my wedding. This woman is amazing! I couldn't thank you enough for making my wedding day the best day ever!

I hired Ashley for our engagement and wedding photography and gained a forever photographer! She is professional, caring and makes shoots fun, for even the most awkward of people! She not only photographed my wedding but also helped me create a schedule and stay on track! She is the best hype woman you could ask for! I will recommend Ashley to all my friends and family! I will cherish the photos forever, the work she produces is priceless. Thank you for giving me all the confidence on my wedding day and helping me keep everything together! Can’t wait for all of our future shoots!

I can’t recommend Ashley enough. She’s calm and makes taking pictures a breeze, even if you’re not big into being photographed-she makes you feel at ease. Her work is amazing, we used her for our engagement photos and our wedding. She was the perfect match for us and see her meshing well with anyone honestly! We cannot wait to see all the moments she captured of our special day!

The moment we got engaged, we knew we wanted Ashley to be our wedding photographer. We'd done other photo sessions with her in the past and knew the quality of her work. She did our engagement session, which of course turned out amazing. And our wedding, she absolutely hit it out of the park! We had a few specific shots and moments in mind we knew we wanted to get photos of and she captured those moments perfectly. Just seeing the sneak peaks brought tears to my eyes because they are gorgeous and made us feel like we were back at our wedding all over. I can not recommend Ashley enough! We absolutely love working with her and can not wait to call her up again for all our future memories we want caught on camera!

Ashley was the photographer for our wedding in January as well as our engagement photos. She was recommended to us by our wedding planner who said she loved working with her and I can see why. Ashley is the best! She is professional and kind and makes you feel comfortable. She is calm and cool and she makes people who hate having their photo taken like my husband, feel okay about it. Ashley was great when our pre-wedding timeline had some changes and we had to adjust on the fly. Our photos are beautiful and she has an amazing way of using the natural light and the surroundings in nature. I would highly suggest using Grind & Press for your wedding or event!

Ashley is incredibly talented. She is kind and patient and her passion shows through her work. We hired Grind & Press Photography for our engagement and wedding photos. We loved how creative and organized she was to ensure we had photos of every special moment during our wedding. Not only were we pleased with her but I had multiple guests compliment her style and hard work. We are forever thankful for the moments she captured!

Ashley is phenomenal! We used her for our wedding and our engagement pictures. She keeps things fun and creative, which is so important when it comes to capturing photos on your wedding day. She has a great calming energy and is very personable. I can't wait to get my wedding pictures back! I know they won't disappoint.

Ashley was super professional, everyone (including some most recently past brides) was so impressed by how she directed the family photos, bridal party, etc. And knew when & where to get her shot. She also kept me from having a meltdown (lol) when it was most important, and allowed me to enjoy my night even though things were going less than according to plan. I will recommend her to any bride, anywhere, if they want a stress-free photography experience on their most important day!

My wedding was absolutely magical, and I owe all of my special memories to Ashley! She is passionate, talented, hardworking, attentive and trustworthy. Her attention to detail, fun-loving attitude and professionalism truly put my mind at ease from beginning to end. She took the time to create a photography timeline with me and ensured each and every moment of my wedding day was captured. Her taste and aesthetic is one of a kind, and her work ethic like none other. I wholeheartedly recommend Ashley Roper and Grind and Press because there is no one who will care more about memorializing special moments for you like she will. Thank you, Ashley! I will never forget you.

Ashley is simply amazing! From the very beginning, she was so sweet, easy going and extremely flexible with us. During our engagement shoot, we had so much fun and most importantly, Ashley made us feel comfortable in front of a camera, she really captured our personalities and love for each other. We had so many comments from friends and family, not only on how beautiful our pictures were, but how neat and original they were. On the wedding day, Ashley was very prompt and very stealthy throughout the entire day, there were times I almost forgot she was there! She captured all the important and special moments of the day, plus so many great candids during our reception. Our photos from the wedding are absolutely stunning and we are so happy to have had the opportunity to work with her!!! We are keeping her contact information handy for all our future photography needs :)

Ashley is amazing! On our wedding day she went with the flow, while ensuring we got the shots we requested. She is professional and fun while shooting! Ashely has a fantastic eye and her photographs are stunning! We were so lucky to have her be part of our special day!

Ashley has been doing photos for us for years so having her for our wedding was the only thing we immediately knew for sure we wanted after we got engaged. She has an amazing calm and positive demeanor that immediately put me at ease on one of the most emotional days of my life. When Ashley delivered our Sneak Peek photos, I realized I never noticed her during the ceremony and was amazed at the pictures she was able to get from different places and angles - like a photo ninja! She always surprises me with her creativity, you will not have cookie cutter photos with Ashley if you let her know you would like to see something different. On the flipside, she had a list of all of the "traditional" family and wedding party posed photos that we requested and got through them quickly and efficiently, even with 50+ family members to wrangle. Besides the gorgeous lighting and the intricate small details that she was able to capture in just the few images she has already shared, the emotions that she saw and preserved in photos took me right back to that day, and I cannot wait to see more!

Ashley is the most amazing photographer ever! She is so sweet, laid back and makes everyone feel so comfortable. She’s awesome at knowing where to place you and what to have you guys do to capture the perfect shots without making it seemed force. And most importantly your pictures will be gorgeous!

Ashley is amazing! We are absolutely obsessed with our wedding photos. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process, even though we can be pretty awkward at times. She was discreet and professional, yet so much fun! 100% HIGHLY RECOMMEND ASHLEY TO EVERYONE!

Ashley is such a fun, comfortable person, and very professional which helped us to relax and have fun. It shows in her photos! She has loads of experience and knows exactly the perfect angles and positions for beautiful and flattering shots. I also loved how she thought outside of the box for photos as well. She was also very patient and accommodating of our large family, and was able to capture everyone looking their best. I'm so glad we found her because she helped make our wedding day amazing. I will definitely be using her in the future.

Where to begin??? I'm a HUGE picture person, I love taking photographs, I love printing photographs, I love having photographs hanging in my house of my family and friends...but this photographer has taken my love for photographs to another level. My wedding photographs are UNBELIEVABLE. More amazing than I EVER could have dreamed. Ashley took my vision and made it a reality. She was so easy to work with, responsive when e-mails were sent, accommodated to our schedule and was so easy to work with on the day of our wedding. She made us feel at extreme ease during the day, which was already a bit of a high anxiety day and let us be ourselves in the photos. I highly recommend Grind & Press Photography, she won't disappoint you. I cannot wait to print photographs to hang in our house of the most important day of our lives!

Amazing photographer! We absolutely love our pictures. She was great at keeping the flow of pictures going and staying on track with our timeline. We received our pictures back a lot quicker than I expected and they are perfect! Ashley was great to work with. We will definitely be using her again for future photo shoots!

Where do I begin? Ashley Roper with Ashfall Mixed Media is AMAZING! We used her for our engagement photos, our maternity photos and now our wedding. We have had the best time with her. She is easy going, positive and really makes you feel special. She has attention to detail and a unique style that is all her own. We have loved all of our shoots with her and are even more pleased with the quality of pictures she has provided us with. We couldn’t have chosen a better photographer. We now have amazing photos that capture our fondest memories of this past year ☺ We have recommended her to friends and will continue to do so with everyone we meet! I’m excited for all the wedding pictures to return and have enjoyed all the sneak peeks we get along the way of the editing process. Ashley will definitely be our photographer for all our future needs and in fact can’t wait to book her for our next baby shoot! We love you Ashley and you are truly an amazing individual. You have poise and a devotion to your clients like no other. Keep up the great work and see you behind lens! Jaime, Manny & baby Hailey

Ashley was a perfect fit for our big day. I heard going into it that it was important to get along well with your photographer as you will be spending a lot of time day of with them. She meshed perfectly with my fiance and I. She is extremely talented and has a true eye.

Ashley is awesome! She not only took fantastic photos, she also made me and my husband feel like we were king and queen for the day. She took control when an obnoxious person outside our venue tried to photo bomb our pictures and took that stress right away. I highly recommend her because she is professional, understanding, she will make you feel relaxed and she takes the BEST pictures. My husband and I will use her in the future.

Ashley Roper from Ashfall Mixed Media is a dream to work with. She is calming and bubbly and makes even a nervous groom feel comfortable and confident. Her ability to roll with whatever situation arises and somehow use it to her benefit was what most impressed me. She also took the time to get to know what I wanted stylistically and indulged in giving me everything I asked for, and more. My engagement and wedding photos are magazine worthy and I am looking forward to finding any and every excuse to work with her again!

My fiancé and I had the best experience because of Ashley from Ashfall Mixed Media. Our families and friends are still amazed by the way our engagement shoot photos came out, and we could not be happier! Ashley was creative and accommodating. Her service begins before the shoot happens! She spent time getting to know what we wanted by setting up a Pinterest account that we all shared for inspiration. We got the EXACT shots we wanted this way. Ashley also took advantage of unexpected moments and used her creativity to capture other shots we love! It was easy to be ourselves around Ashley and have fun, because she put us at ease with her personality and encouraging attitude. The turnaround for editing and delivery was SO fast! Ashley even asked our permission to submit our shoot to several wedding blogs (it was awesome to see the feedback on our shoot)! We immediately hired Ashley for our wedding in April and cannot wait to work with her again! I've told anyone and everyone I can about her: engaged friends, pregnant friends, anyone needing photos taken, because I completely trust they will be amazed with the service Ashley from Ashfall Mixed Media delivers.
