Ashley Durham Photography

Ashley is wonderful to work with- super personable and helpful. She went above and beyond for our engagement and wedding photos. We chose not to hire a wedding coordinator- Ashley helped me establish a wedding day timeline & on the day of even did a great job of helping me keep things on track. She got our wedding photos back to us very quickly as well. The photos were beautiful & we are so happy that we had her as our photographer! Would recommend her to anyone!

Ashley recently did our engagement pictures and we felt like we’ve know her for years! She’s so welcoming, talented and amazing at what she does! We absolutely cannot wait for her to do our wedding pictures!

Ashley was the most amazing photographer we could have ever asked for. Not only did she take amazing photos that we will keep and cherish forever, her and Randy were key to making the day wonderful because of the people that they are. Hire them NOW! You will not be disappointed.

From our engagement photos to my boudoir photo session for my now hubby to our wedding photos, Ashley has been such a great person to have as a photographer. On top of being awesome, her husband, Randy, was just as awesome when he came as her assistant for our wedding! From the moment we met Ashley, she had us laughing and made sure we were having a great time even when the poses seemed cheesy! Tim and I highly recommend Ashley!

Beautiful photographer and wonderful photos

Ashley and Randy have been so amazing to work with from start to finish!! Ashley made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot that we were ready to go on the big day. She helped with the small details (even bustling my dress!), and her and Randy braved the cold for our fall wedding sunset shots which turned out AMAZING!! We even got our first sneak peak back the day after our wedding — Ashley and Randy helped perfectly capture our special day with photos we will cherish forever. Thank you both!!!

Ashley made our wedding unforgettable. The pictures that she captured moved me to tears of joy and I will always be so thankful that we made the decision to hire her for our day. These are priceless memories that we will be able to display for years to come. Highly highly recommend, you won’t find a better photographer. Her attention to details, eye for styling, and fun personality make for a priceless experience.

We love Ashley and Randy! Not only did they shoot our wedding and our engagement session, but they were also there when our first turned one! I can’t imagine a better testament to not only their quality of work but to who they are as people then returning over the years to have them capture all our beautiful memories. From the moment we met Randy and Ashley over Skype to the wedding day, they made us feel like more than just clients, we were friends. They are genuine people with some serious skill. They know how to truly capture all the feels in a moment. If you want photos you can treasure for a lifetime, choose Randy and Ashley.

Ashley & Randy shot our wedding in coastal GA and we could not recommend them MORE. After being so gracious with a postponement, we finally got to meet them and they exceeded all of our expectations. Ashley helped with a ridiculously difficult dress bustle and Randy jumped in to tie all of the groomsmen bowties without blinking an eye- thank goodness for them! Ashley was able to rally a large crowd and got pictures done quickly and efficiently - all while being kind and pleasant. We received a sneak peak within days of the wedding and our final gallery at 3 weeks. All of the pictures are absolutely stunning and we HIGHLY recommend Ashley & Randy for any photography needs - you will be so happy you did!

Ashley and her husband went above and beyond the call of duty. She helped me with timing on the wedding day and even helped to curl my hair when she saw my maid of honor struggling. The additional photographer option is totally worth the added cost, as her husband has a totally different photographer's eye from Ashley. We got a wonderful variety of candid and posed shots by having both of them. We also had a free engagement session with her, which she graciously agreed to turn into a family session since my husband, and the kids, and I had never had professional family photos. Definitely a 5 star experience.

My original photographer cancelled on me 5 days before my wedding. A few hours later, I was in contact with Ashley. She worked a few months of prep into a few days before!! The day of my wedding, she was there to calm my nerves and capture all the moments of my wedding. My fiancé has never liked photos but cant find a single photo he doesn't love! Her photos are absolutely gorgeous!! Ashley was so amazing with everyone, especially th4 kids in our group. Book Ashley for all your photo needs!

Stop looking and stressing over who to hire for your photographer- HIRE ASHLEY! She is such a talented photographer and has such a passion for what she does! Ashley truly loves what she does and it shows through the beauty of her photographs. Hiring her was the best decision I made; working with her made it feel like I knew her for years, she made me feel gorgeous, helped guide my awkward self through poses, and climbed in the wild to get the perfect shot. She works with her husband and they are a dream team. I promise you can’t go wrong with Ashley!

My wife and I met with several photographers before choosing Randy + Ashley to shoot our wedding. To say they did a remarkable job of capturing our wedding would be an understatement. The photos far exceeded my expectations! As an added bonus, their knowledge of wedding day schedule helped keep things flowing on time and organized. Choosing a poor photographer is a real concern during wedding plan, but we struck gold when we picked Randy + Ashley.

Ashley and Randy were stupendous. Not only do they take the time to get to know each of their couples, they make taking beautiful photos SO easy. My husband and I still talk about our engagement session and how easy and natural it felt to be models for the afternoon. Ashley is organized and prompt in her responses - she is any bride's dream vendor. The thoughtfulness, care, and creative touches they put into their work is invaluable! The photos captured on our "Big Day" enveloped the beauty and emotion perfectly. Only a true artist can make that happen. Thank you to two wonderful photographers and even more wonderful people.

Randy + Ashely were absolutely amazing to work with! They took our engagement photos, my boudoir shoot, and wedding photos and we were absolutely blown away by the photos they captured! Randy+ Ashely are super organized- they even helped us create a wedding timeline that we shared with our other vendors. They took time to get to know us and make us feel comfortable and relaxed whenever we were working with them. I cannot recommend Randy+ Ashely enough! You will not regret working with them!

We LOVE randy and ashley! i felt sooo overwhelmed when beginning my search for an engagement photo and wedding photographer until i found these two! their style is exactly what i was looking for and i messaged them immediately to try to get an engagement shoot scheduled while the aspens were still glowing. Ashley messaged me back within an hour and we scheduled our shoot soon after. I was so nervous for our engagement photos and thought it would consist of lots of awkward poses, but i was SO wrong. Ashley made it so fun and natural feeling, we had a blast and loved our photos! we got tons of compliments from people saying they were the best they'd ever seen because they looked so genuine. Ashley was a HUGE help leading up to the wedding, helping me get my timeline organized and getting us even more excited. she was one of the first people i sent photos of my dress to and it was so fun to share that excitement with her! they handled the wedding day so professionally and were so helpful throughout the day. they made sure we got a few minutes of alone time between the ceremony, photos and the reception which meant the world to us since we didn't do a first look. they made sure we had anything and everything we needed all day which took so much stress off of us. they got our sneak peek to us in less than 48 hours, which was so special! we got our full gallery in less than two weeks and were completely blown away. our photos are gorgeous and perfect and we couldn't ask for anything more. we went into this process needing a wedding photographer and i feel like we walked away with two new friends!

I was nervous picking a photographer for our big day! We decided to go with Randy + Ashley and were not disappointed. They respond promptly, get to know you, help you feel comfortable during the photo shoot, and deliver beautiful photos! I highly recommend them for your special day!

My groom and I had an amazing time with Ashley and Randy for our engagement photos!! We were nervous and they made it a blast and helped us through with great ideas for posses and really cared about is and our love story!! We cant wait for our wedding so we can work with them again and get beautiful pictures of us and our family!!!!

We had such an amazing experience with Ashley and Randy! When weather throws you a curve ball, they we're completely adaptable. We end up with the most amazing pictures... All taken in the rain and you couldn't even tell (well except for a free water ripples in the pond). I would definitely recommend them to tackle you're once in a lifetime shoot in a heartbeat. There were shots taken, that I didn't even realize I wanted. They also made us all feel really at ease in what we considered chaos.

They were the best thing we decided on for our wedding. They become part of your family before your big day is over. These two love what they do and are phenomenal at their art. We could not have had more fun with them at our engagement session in Chicago or our wedding in Colorado. The worst part is that now that our wedding is over we don't get to hang out with them again. Do yourself a favor and book them now. You will not regret your decision. From their awesome facebook/instagram pages to the even better in person interactions, they make your day all about you and make you have fun.

We loved Randy and Ashley! They were laid back, fun, energetic and professional! They picked the best spots for our photos and they are absolutely breath-taking.

My husband and I cannot say enough great things about this dynamic duo. From the first phone call with Ashley we knew she was going to make our entire wedding process perfect. We initially flew out to Colorado for our engagement shoot (something we had always wanted to do). We were both a bit nervous about the process, but Ashley and Randy made the entire process SO easy and fun. Like truly FUN. We had a blast. They found the perfect location for us too, even though we were picky about exactly what we wanted the scenary like. For our wedding, Ashley helped us step by step make sure every picture we wanted was taken. The photos are absolutely STUNNING. I don't understand how they are so talented! We cannot thank them enough for making sure we have last memories from the best day of our lives!!

I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about Randy + Ashley and HIGHLY recommend them to all my family, friends, and future brides and grooms. They are not only SO fun and fabulous, but they are absolutely INCREDIBLE at what they do! I fell in love with their style of photography when seeing a friend's photoshoot with them and absolutely knew my (now) husband Chris and I HAD to book them for our March 2018 Palm Springs wedding. We loved that they were a husband and wife duo and small business owners who are still madly in love with each other even with four young kids. Talk about #goals! In all sincerity, choosing Randy + Ashley was one of the BEST decisions we made in our wedding planning process. Randy + Ashley were eager to FaceTime with us to get to know us and our story, and they were invaluable in every step of our planning process. We really wanted a desert vibe for engagement photos, and they recommended Joshua Tree, which they know inside and out. My husband Chris and I were so unsure of how to pose and thought we would be so awkward in front of the camera, but Randy + Ashley have such a unique talent in making the whole process so much fun that we genuinely forgot we were taking photos and just spent the time laughing and talking! Our engagement photos in Joshua Tree were out of this world BEAUTIFUL. Additionally, I can't tell you how many calls, emails, and texts Ashely and I had going for months in preparation for our March 2018 wedding--she went above and beyond helping with our timeline, our must-have wedding day photos, and SO much more. Our wedding day was EVERYTHING and more in large part because of how phenomenal Randy + Ashley are. I felt so at ease all day with them by our side all wedding day. I was shocked when we received our complete gallery of wedding photos less than a month after we were married, unbelievable! Literally ALL of the photos are STUNNING, and I cry every time I look through them because of how beautifully they capture the emotion and fun of the day. We feel SO privileged to become such wonderful friends with Randy + Ashley and be part of the RAD weddings family! We look forward to having Randy + Ashley photograph all of our future life milestones and have them in our lives as friends! HUGE thanks, Randy + Ashley!! We love you guys SO much and couldn't recommend you both more highly!!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Randy and Ashley are truly amazing photographers and great people to work with. They are worth every penny and so much more. They add a sense of comfort and help you enjoy your wedding day, while capturing the greatest photos of your life in such a creative way! I had a destination wedding in a snowless Telluride, and Randy and Ashley hiked all over to find the only snow covered trees in the town to get the perfect shot!

If you're searching for a Wedding Photographer..your search is over- Randy and Ashley are absolutely, 100% who you need to choose! From meeting them for coffee for the first time, to shooting our engagement session at Laguna Beach, CA (which mind you they flew in from CO for!) to capturing every moment of our perfect day- Randy and Ashley are hands down the best Wedding Photographers to work with. They not only made us feel comfortable, but also embraced our goofy-side and joined in on the fun (show pony!) I am in awe of our Wedding Gallery- and cannot thank Randy and Ashley enough for allowing us to relive our day, over and over again. The easiest decision of planning your wedding should be choosing Randy and Ashley and joining the #RADFamily :)

We could not have been more pleased with having Randy and Ashley photograph our wedding! They were very proactive, friendly, timely, professional, and creative. We are so pleased with the results! Pick Randy and Ashley to photograph your wedding, you won't regret it!

Ashley did an amazing job on our small family wedding at our family ranch! Our pictures came out beautiful and we loved working with her! Everything was very easy and she helped us out so much with making our timeline! Definitely would recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful photography!

The best decision I ever made hiring Randy & Ashley as our daughter wedding photographer. They are a true artist. I would highly recommend Randy & Ashley to any family and friends. Thank you so much for being a part of our special day. You guys did a great job. With our love and gratitude. Song

We look like we're models in a wedding magazine 😍🤗 Ashley from day one made me feel so confident and happy with all my decision making ! We had a chance for rain the day of our wedding Ashley took all precautions with plan A,B,C. I would highly recommend Randy + Ashley Studios to anyone who wants picture perfect memories to look back on for a lifetime ! Thank you again for the best wedidng pictures EVER !!! Can't wait to visit and book future pictures for you ❤️

Both my fiancé and I's dream was to get married in CO, but in the end, our big family kept us closer to home, BUT that didn't mean we had to completely give up the idea of incorporating CO in some wedding planning! We compromised and chose to take our engagement pictures somewhere picturesque in the state that holds our hearts. Choosing a photographer is already overwhelming-Being from Chicago, looking for a photographer in a completely different state even more so. I came across Ashley & Randy's page and all feelings of being lost, hesitant and overwhelmed subsided. I'm pretty sure I started my email off with "finding you is a huge relief"-and it totally was! They shared our excitement and dream of making our Colorado engagement session come true. We kept location open, and chose Maroon bells, which happened to be a place we all wanted to visit at some point. Not only did we feel 100% comfortable to be ourselves, but the pictures exceeded our expectations. It was definitely a 'dream come true' engagement session, along with making it one of the most memorable experiences that comes with planning our wedding!

Hello everyone, I would like to take a few minutes to give gratitude, praise, and appreciation where it is not always given. After becoming engaged and spending a few weeks researching the endless checklists and to-do lists, my husband and I quickly came to the realization that picking out the perfect date was step #1. We also came to realize that step #1 would mean absolutely nothing without step #2—picking the perfect photographer. We began researching different photographers and reaching out to a few of them—Randy & Ashley being one of them. We then faced one of the many daunting questions; how do you pick the perfect photographer?! Well, Randy and Ashley are a different kind of breed. They have magical powers and somehow always make things perfect, from the very beginning to the very end. The first instance in which we realized how lucky we were to have found them was when they reached out to us via phone call after our initial contact inquiry (I swear, it couldn't have been more than an hour after the inquiry that they called. It was awesome!) and we had a brief but informative chat with them about plans and our story. Excuse me for being corny, but we didn’t choose them, they chose us. After that one phone call with them, we never looked back. The package we purchased (they have several to choose from, and they’re all fantastic) included an engagement shoot. My husband and I are from opposite sides of the country; naturally, this made for some interesting decisions. My husband and I met in Dana Point, CA so we chose to have our engagement shoot there on the beach because it is such a sacred place for us. Randy and Ash weren't local but they didn’t even bat an eyelash about meeting us there. This set the tone for the rest of our experience with them. The weekend of our engagement shoot, they were crazy busy (these two are ALWAYS on the move!). We were definitely not the only client they had to service that weekend, yet, we never would have guessed it. They met us bright and early, chipper as can be, at our location spot and spent the sunrise with us. Not only were we capturing timeless memories, but we were also forming the beginning of our friendship with them. And the pictures, you ask? Guys…I cried. They were absolutely beautiful. In the months leading up to the big day, Randy and Ash were so supportive through the planning process. We spent countless hours on communicating the always-changing game plan, must-have photographs, and they even helped us organize our thoughts on a lot of the planning, too. After months of chatting, planning, and laughing (always laughing), the big day had finally arrived. But by now, my husband and I felt as though they were now more than just a vendor; they had become our dear friends. What I need to stress to all of you reading this is how special to us that these two became our friends. They are some of the most kind, genuine, and caring people that we know. Not to mention talented. They love Love of every kind, and that is just part of their magic. They were no longer just “the wedding photographers;” they were our dear friends that understood us and our love. They captured all the magic of our special day and it was truly reminiscent of what our love is. Don’t get me wrong, these two have an eye for capturing magical moments, but the most important factor is that they have an eye for capturing magical moments in the eye of it’s future beholder. And that, is priceless.

Randy and Ashley are THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHERS EVER!!! The photos that they took of our wedding in Laguna Beach could not have been more beautiful. They were thorough, creative, and a real pleasure to work with. They worked fabulously with our wedding planner and made the day go by without a hitch. We had some real crazy weather to contend with but both Randy and Ashley were positive and kept everything moving along so that we could keep as close to our schedule as possible. The photos that they took were the most incredible photos that I have seen and we are SO EXCITED about all of them. Randy and Ashley go above and beyond the call of duty and make everyone feel comfortable - even a bride who is nervous and just wants to see her groom! We would recommend them to anyone and everyone and you will be SO HAPPY you chose them. We love Randy and Ashley!!!

Randy and Ashley are literally THE BEST! I absolutely LOATE taking photos and really wasn't very excited about this part of our big day. But upon our first meeting for our engagement shoot, both my husband and I felt incredibly comfortable and at ease with both Randy and Ashley. In fact, we had a BLAST with them. They are so friendly, welcoming, and truly build a relationship with you. During the entire process, they were incredibly easy to get ahold of and made everything so easy and so smooth. On the day of our wedding, it truly felt like we had friends by our side to capture our special moment and we had no worries that everything would be captured beautifully. Our entire wedding party and family also agree that they were so much fun to work with and were just impressed by the amazing photos they took. What was even more impressive, was how quickly they worked to get us our photos. They had a few great preview photos within 24 hours on instagram and facebook- which got everyone from the wedding super excited. Within a few days they had an entire curated blog post with a whole range of photos from our wedding that we could share with everyone. And within a month they had the entire gallery of our wedding photos available. I know many of my friends who have had to wait many months before they ever get their photos- so I am so impressed by their fast turnaround, especially considering how many events they do! And what is even more impressive is how beautiful the photos are! Everyone who has seen our photos remarks at how perfect our photos are- from the lighting, the settings, the arrangements, the angles, etc. they really know how to capture everyone and all of the details perfectly. Furthermore, a true testament to how much they really listened and built a relationship with us is when they sent us our final package with our usb drives with all of our photos. The package was filled with personal touches of things that they knew both myself and my husband loved. It was so incredibly thoughtful and cemented in our minds that they really are the best. I cannot recommend Randy and Ashley enough. They truly are amazing people who do amazing work. I will recommend them to everyone I know who needs a photographer and I can't wait to work with them again someday.

A lifelong union is about two people, but what encapsulates a wedding for Joshua and I is being able to share our love with family and friends. Ashley and Randy were absolutely phenomenal at capturing memories that were authentic, genuine and ones we will treasure forever! They put so much detail into making this an unforgettable time! I recieved the best personalized magazine with their previous work and secret tips about the big day that made making a timeline a breeze. They were always there with any questions I had. It is important to be able to be yourself in front of your photographer and they are magical at capturing such a special day and making the experience effortless. Taking photos with these two is like reliving your love story from the beginning because instead of posing they will ask you questions like how you fell in love, what's your significant other's favorite food, and so many more that make the photos that much more special. We are so thrilled to have not only found the perfect photographers, but lifelong friends. They are fabulous and definitely the best decision we made while wedding planning, besides picking each other as husband and wife ;)

After deciding to plan our wedding cross country in Palm Springs, CA we first set out to find our photographer. The choice was simple and easy after having an initial skype meeting with Ashley and Randy which ran for up to an hour because of how truely RAD they are! From the beginning they approached working with us like our friends; wanting to get to know us and staying in touch throughout the whole planning process. I always felt like their most important client. As a type A control freak that I am I was so appreciative for Ashley to answer every email and text regarding any challenge I met along the way -- and in an extremely timely fashion. When the day finally came it was like having a friend capturing what is the most special day of your life. And for a groom who is extremely camera shy, having Randy be the coolest, most relaxed, funny guy on the planet helped bring out the stud of my husband was icing on the cake. My biggest advice to brides is selecting vendors who would want to have a beer or a cup of coffee with -- especially in your photographers who are there in your most intimate and romantic moments. I am proud and honored to call Randy and Ashley a friend. We cannot thank them enough!!

Randy and Ashley came highly recommended by our wedding planner and FAR EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS. I cannot say enough positive things about them but here is a start - 1) they go out of their way to get to know you as a couple to ensure your photos reflect YOU, 2) they are extremely creative in their shoots and capture the most impt moments, 3) they are highly organized and not afraid to direct traffic the day of - something that you most surely want, 4) they go above and beyond in every since of the word. We just got back from our honeymoon and had a holiday ornament of two of our photos. They do blogs which are awesome to share what happened and the highlights with your family and friends. No one had nothing but the most positive to things to say about the results they deliver. And - after all - the photos are the only thing you have to look back on. Do yourself a favor and hire R+A. You will not regret it - ever. WE LOVE THEM!

My Fiance and I had a great experience with Randy and Ashley Studios for our engagement photos. Ashley did a great job of making us feel very comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and we had a blast shooting with her. She was also very timely in replying to emails and we received our photos very quickly. Overall I would highly recommend them!

WOW. Randy + Ashley are simply THE BEST. There's not enough words to express our gratitude for their work. They captured every moment we shared throughout our big day, from the getting-ready, to family portraits, to the ceremony and reception, not to mention all of the candid moments...it means the world to us when we see our wedding pictures and completely re-live the entire day! Simply incredible! Randy + Ashley are extremely organized and professional, thoughtful and kind, and their years of experience as photographers is something they demonstrate throughout the entire process of "wedding photography". They took the time to get to know us, and to guide and support us throughout the wedding planning process (they have a wealth of very helpful information, contacts and recommendations for all details related to wedding planning). They are SO FUN, and Leo and I really appreciated their great sense of humor....life is simply better when you're laughing! Their philosophy about photography is not work, but rather a way of life, and love, and the connection we had with this AMAZING husband & wife team has become a friendship that will last a lifetime. Our wedding was a dream come true; Randy + Ashley perfectly captured the magic of our wedding, and we never would have been able to do it without them!

We booked Randy and Ashley at the last minute for our rehearsal dinner when we realized our wedding photographer (a friend) was not able to be there the day before. WOW! I can't even begin to tell you how much we loved them! It was such a pleasure having them shoot the dinner and we were blown away when we saw our photos! They were stunning!! We decided to have a small religious wedding later on and the first thing we booked was Randy & Ashley! They are truly the sweetest couple, so fun to work with, and their photos are incredible. I am so grateful that we found them and hope to have them in our lives for a long time to come. If you are a bride and want the most gorgous photos, and exceptional service, book them first!! I'm so excited to be working with them again to do our pregnancy announcement. :)

Do yourself a favor and hire Randy & Ashley! They are blessings masked in complete AWESOMENESS! I cant even write a review that could describe how perfectly they captured our wedding day and our hearts. 5 stars is not nearly enough. You are not just hiring photographers, you are making new friends that will take your day as serious as you. I can promise you are in the best hands with the best eyes for this out there! Happy Planning!

We just love Randy and Ashley. They have photographed us and our family on several occasions and they never disappoint. They are extremely talented and that shows in the pictures that they take. They are so much fun to work with and have you laughing the entire time. They are great at keeping things moving and also are great and not being in the center of things during the big day. They drove all the way to Colorado for our wedding and we wouldn't have wanted anyone else. They are the best!!!

Randy and Ashley made our wedding perfect. They did a fabulous job of following our lead and also using creative ideas to capture each moment perfectly. We are not your ordinary couple and our wedding matched this perfectly. Thanks so much for making our memories beautiful

Wow, the best. EVER. If you're still searching for photographers stop now. This dynamic duo of a couple is excellent in every sense of the word. They work together as a team from the moment you hire them to make sure that the photos they capture for your big day are absolutely perfect . They are talented, detail- oriented, organized and always on the ball. Beyond that they take the time to really get to know you, and as you get to know them you realize that not only are they loving, kind & thoughtful , but they are real down-to-earth people. Randy and Ashely are two of my favorite photographers that I have ever worked with and I could not recommend them highly enough. Oh yeah… And the pictures were flawless. Seriously, do yourself a favor - stop searching and hire them.

Randy + Ashley studios made our wedding day complete! From the very first meeting we knew they were the perfect choice. They are such a fun loving couple that really made the whole process seamless and easy. All the logistical stuff (payment, contracts, communication) was so easy to take care of, but most importantly the time and care they put into making you feel comfortable was outstanding. Not to mention the pictures are absolutely stunning! Couldn't be happier with our new lifelong friends:)

Hiring Randy + Ashley to photograph our wedding day was one of the best decisions my husband and I made; I cannot recommend them highly enough! All of the pictures turned out beautifully, everything was perfect, we're in love with the whole gallery--but just as wonderful as the final product was the process. I feel like Ashley was a part of the entire wedding planning adventure; she's a social media wizard, and so warm and friendly, making her really fun and easy to stay in touch with over the months leading up to the big day. I followed her blog and saw every wedding and engagement session she shot, so I got a great sense of what kinds of pictures and moments I wanted to ask for, and I kept her posted on how our plans were coming together, which she was always enthusiastic about. We had a pretty non-traditional wedding—no judgments against tradition, but the way we did it was perfect for us—and I never felt even a hint of pressure to conform to anyone else's “wedding norms”. Randy and Ashley were enthusiastic about capturing our day the way we wanted it; it was awesome to be cheered on like that, and to have such confidence through all the preparations that Randy and Ashley would make it all look gorgeous. We had a great time shooting our engagement session in Joshua Tree, and even with the LA-to-Palm Springs distance they were able to meet at our venue and do a walkthrough a few weeks before the wedding, so by the day-of they really felt like friends—I was so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera! The whole day was just so much fun, and Randy and Ashley are both such funny, joyful, loving people, many of our guests commented on how friendly and easy-to-be-around they were. The candid photos of our guests are my absolute favorites; every wedding photographer will take lovely pictures of the bride and groom, sure, and Randy and Ashley definitely made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world, but they also caught the most stunning, joy-filled pictures of our friends and loved ones, looking so happy for us, and I know we'll treasure those for a lifetime. Randy and Ashley are the DREAM TEAM—I am forever grateful!
