First met with Ashley at a bridal expo, she is with a down to earth person and has  a bright personality that i instantly told my husband that is our photographer for our wedding. ...
The communication with her over the engagement period was amazing. I never felt unheard and she knew exactly what we wanted. Don’t even get me started on the day of!! She was amazing! There were periods of time that I thought “oh this would have been an amazing candid or photo opportunity” and BOOM there’s Ashley with her camera and already captured the moment. She was simply doing her job but she did it so well that my family still talks about our “ninja photographer.” All my friends and family asked for her contact information because her photos are absolutely stunning. She was able to capture our different personalities so well. I can’t even explain how amazing she is. Not only as a photographer but as a person. If you want a photographer who knows what she’s does and is willing to put in the work this is your girl. I already told her I’m using her for all future endeavors.Â
Looking through our wedding gallery felt like reliving the best day of our lives all over again. Ashley from Painted Peacock Photography captured the essence of our wedding so perf...
ectly—even those tiny, fleeting moments we didn’t even realize were happening.

Absolutely fantastic. My guests commented that she was a “ninja” and took fantastic photos but was never intrusive. I’ve only gotten my “sneak peek” but I’m more than happy!

Ashley was amazing to work with for my daughter's wedding. She was responsive in the discovery stage, accommodating in scheduling, and creative onsite during the photo sessions. ...
We helped my daughter relax and feel at ease and therefore captured wonderful photos. She is very efficient as she clicks away and moves around the room to capture the magic of the day and moment. The photos we have recording that day are amazing !! We relieve the day over and over again because she takes such care in her work. I have also hired her for corporate events. The same dedication is displayed there as well. I would highly recommend Ashley for any photographer needs.

e vendor. She was an absolute joy to be around, made everyone feel at ease during photos, alleviated so much stress and captured all of our memories perfectly. We could not recommend someone more than we recommend Ashley. All the gold stars, all the thumbs up, and all the applause for her!
Ashley is the absolute best!! From the very first meeting, my husband, MOH(sister), and I all felt at absolute ease with our choice, and she did not disappoint! She made us feel so...
confident and comfortable behind the lens both at our engagement photos and throughout the wedding. She did a fantastic job incorporating our pup in both as well! We are absolutely in love with every single photo she took! Not only are her photos amazing, but she was amazing as well – so sweet and fun/easy to work with! We could not be happier with how everything turned out!! One million stars!!
Ashley was incredible, honestly could not have asked for a better photographer. She was sweet and kind throughout the entire process and assisted in anyway she could. If that meant...
helping me put on my shoes, she was always willing to help on top of catching the most beautiful moments. Would recommend if you want a sweet soul that'll make you feel more beautiful than you could've imagined on your special day. Also extremely timely and willing to work around with brides that have crazy schedules like myself along with last minute changes.
I knew that the photographer for my granddaughter’s wedding was going to be very challenged with the expectations from this perfectionist bride. I interviewed several photographers...
, but I decided to go with a recommendation from another bride I know, who is also very particular.
There are no words to describe how invaluable Ashley was to helping us achieve the wedding of my granddaughter’s dreams. She was not only professional and on time, she had a very calming effect on the bride. She also had great tips that we incorporated into our special day.
But as they say, the proof is in the pudding. The photos were exquisite. From the bride, “I LOVE THEM!!” 5 STARS Ashley, and Painted Peacock.
Ashley is the most amazing photographer with the kindest heart! I found her back in 2016 through a recommendation and she became my wedding photographer. We did a package that incl...
uded engagement photos, bridal portraits, and wedding day pictures. Since then, I have found myself always coming back to Ashley! I have used her for newborn photos, family photos, and planning to do fall photos this year. Ashley takes beautiful photos and edits them so naturally by keeping the integrity of the original picture and giving you a clean, airbrushed look. I have loved using her for multiple shoots because I feel like the photos displayed in my home have a cohesive look even though they are from many different sessions throughout the years. Also, I personally do not love taking pictures but Ashley is so genuine and makes you feel totally comfortable which I very much appreciate! I highly recommend her as your photographer for all phases and adventures in life!

t wait to have her there on our big day. My new husband and I are the worst when it comes to “looking natural” in pictures but she made every shot so fun and not to mention they turned out beautiful! We are in love with our pictures and most definitely recommend her for all your picture needs. We are already looking forward to the next time we get to work with Painted Peacock Photography!

Simply the best! Seriously, we looked at several photographers, but just simply based on talent, we could tell there was something special about Ashley's photography. She has an ...
artistic eye that separates her from the competition, and you can see that in her photography.
We booked our first call with Ashley to touch base, and we didn't even have to talk to anyone else, because we knew she was perfect. The call couldn't have gone better, so we scheduled our engagement session. Ashley took us to a cute local park with walking trails, where we got some amazing photos in the golden hour. Ashley got us the photos incredibly quickly, and they were amazing! We couldn't wait to share them with people and post them onto our wedding website.
When it came to our wedding day, I felt like it was a flawless experience. Ashley set up a first look with us, took some superb shots, and really made the whole process exciting and stress-free! She also executed our photography at the venue perfectly, getting shots beforehand, during, and after the ceremony, and I think this is so underrated - she set amazing expectations, so that the process was perfect from start to finish. The shots she got on the day of the wedding were outstanding, and we are going to cherish them forever!
From her personality, how easy and fun it was to work with her, how fast she delivered the photos, and of course her truly amazing photography skills, I would not take away anything from her. She delivered 200% above what she had to, and we as a couple have high expectations for everything!
She is a truly outstanding photographer and person! Please do yourself a favor and book her!
Ashley is the best photographer to work with/ I cannot say enough good things about her! As a bride you are so stressed out with wedding planning and making sure everything is pict...
ure perfect and at the end of the day, you only have the memories and the pictures taken that day. She did such an amazing job capturing every moment of my wedding day, these are the photos I will cherish forever. Hire her for as your wedding photographer, you will not regret it!

Hiring Ashley for both our engagements and wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Not only are the pictures everything I could have hoped for, but working with Ashley was s...
o lovely. She has a way of making you feel at home even if you are not naturally comfortable in front of the camera. Having her in the bridal suite felt like having just another friend in the room, and she was equally great with our families and guests. My biggest must-have photo involved wrangling our two dogs (one is a puppy), and she still managed to get the sweetest pictures. Ashley is a superstar.
I would 1000% recommend Ashley. She made me feel so special throughout the entire experience. She asked a lot of questions to understand my vision and gave me great advice. Our we...
dding pictures came out absolutely beautiful. Ashley also did a boudoir shoot, as my wedding gift to my husband. I had a blast during the shoot and Ashley made me feel confident, comfortable and sexy! She's very responsive via text and email. She has the sweetest personality and is definitely someone you want around you during this special time in your life. My husband and I couldn't be happier that we chose her as our photographer!
Ashley is AMAZING. From our first phone call to after the wedding was over I knew I had chosen the right photographer. Ashley truly cares about making your big day easy and most of...
all fun! She is sweet and captures the most perfect moments and really makes sure you love every single picture. My whole family loves her! I will 100% be using her as my photographer for events to come!!
My husband and I absolutely LOVED working with Ashley! I was always able to reach her if I had any questions and she was able to accommodate my work schedule for our in person meet...
ings, which meant so so much to me. Ashley really knows how to utilize time both in person for meetings, for our engagements, and of course for the big day! I am floored by the number of stunning photos she captured, and I feel like the photos we have really reflect how I remember our ceremony and reception. My husband really enjoyed working with her husband during the guys "get ready" time, and it was great to have them both there to shoot our ceremony. We received our "sneak peaks" and our full album in a timely manner and Ashley was very transparent about where she was in the editing process if we had any questions. I can't imagine what our day would have been like without her as a part of it!!
Ashley was hands down the BEST vendor we worked with for our wedding. From the moment I had a call with Ashley, I knew I wanted to work with her. She genuinely cared about what I w...
anted, my vision, etc. She want just going down a check list, she listened and asked great questions I hadn't even though about. During my bridal session, she made me feel so comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera. She has a calming personality, which made it so easy for me to be myself. When it came to wedding day, so was absolutely amazing. She got the perfect shots and I didn't feel that she ever made it feel unnatural. My family complimented how efficiently she got that amazing wedding party and family photos after the wedding (which is you have been in a wedding, you know those can take FOREVER). During the night I feel like I barely saw her, but she got all the best shots and highlights of the night, that's when you know you got someone GREAT! Ashley is a true joy to work with and I give my highest recommendation! Go with her, IT'S WORTH IT!
Ashley was a sense of calm in a very chaotic day! I had my heart set on getting married outside by the water for YEARS. Well the weather decided to throw us a little curveball the ...
day of (Only 3 inches or so of rain..) but Ashley did not miss a beat and was one of the few vendors that did not try to talk me out of my original plan. She knew how much it meant to me and was willing to do whatever she needed to make sure I got that dream. She captured so much love, laughter, and all of our personalities. I can't wait to work with her in the future.
Besides your spouse, your photographer should be your BIGGEST FAN during your wedding and Ashley was nothing short of exactly that—MY TRUE #1 FAN! My husband met Ashley at a weddi...
ng he was in back in 2016 where Ashley and her team were the photographers. Coupled with my husbands raving comments about those wedding photos and the glowing recommendation we received from that bride towards Ashley, we knew Painted Peacock Photography would be the one for us when our time came.
Ashley did our engagements, my Bridals, my Boudoir shoot and of course our wedding day!
The entirety of every session with Ashley was filled with so much fun, laughs, great conversation and BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS returned to me each and every time. There were never any times where I felt she didn’t capture something I wanted but there were PLENTY of times where she captured all the things I had no idea I needed. Ashley is not only amazing at photographing perfect moments but also an amazing person who truly cares that YOU are happy, relaxed and most importantly that you are having fun. Amongst many incredible times with Ashley, I have two that I feel are the most memorable ones—One being a time where her photography skills just totally blew me away and the second where her heart just bursted with compassion and kindness.
During our engagement session, which was the first photo session we had with her, I remember saying these words, “Ashley, try not to get much of my full side profile. I don’t like my pointy nose.” Side note: One of these photos during our engagement session would end up being our Save The Date. Fast forward maybe two weeks later, we got our photos back. Ashley absolutely listened to me when I saw that 75% of the photos were NOT side profile and it was so difficult to even choose a favorite because ALL were that good. Though the truly incredible part was that this one photo was one that I absolutely could not take my eyes off of and I knew with certainty that it was THE ONE for the Save The Date.... & guess what, it was a full on side profile shot of my husband and I looking at each other. I’m a full believer that Ashley can take anyone’s biggest insecurities and turn them into their biggest beauties with her creativeness and the confidence she portrays towards her work (meaning she knows what you’re going to love before you know what you even love).
Fast forward again to Bridal Portrait day—Photos were set to begin right before sunset and it’s mid day as I’m getting ready at my venue. A minor inconvenience happened with one of my styling vendors and bridal stress mode kicked in. I remember calling Ashley in tears because my bridesmaids were working and my family was not able to be there that day and I just needed someone to talk to. She not only calmed me down like one of your lifelong best friends would but also dropped everything and headed my way just to get there early and hang out with me while hair and makeup finished up. That to me is so much more than a photographer, that is just a down right compassionate human being that I’m so blessed to call one of our dearest family friends now.
To Ashley: You better get ready sister friend for all those cute Eberhart newborns and future family portraits! You are our lifelong friend and photographer and we cannot thank God enough for bringing you into our lives for not only our wedding day but all future big highlight moments in our life to come. We love you oh so much!
