Portland, or wedding photographer
No matter where you are getting married, no distance is too far. Portland, OR, the Oregon Coast, and the Columbia River Gorge, are my backyard, but no matter where you're tying the knot, let's make it happen. Traveling & experiencing new adventures is in my blood.

Welcome
Sweet stories from the alumni!
So, you decided, a big wedding isn't for you! Let the fun begin!
How you start your marriage matters. Take a step back from what's "traditional". Finding peace within *your* day is only established with refusing what other people deem a "proper wedding". You have to revaluate what your normal is and put yourself in a situation that is 100% true to you as a couple.
When I see something that is not the same, that's what I go for. When people say "that's the wrong way to go", I always want to see if I can pull it off. I take the same approach for your wedding day. After being a professional photographer over the years, you would think that I would grow jaded of weddings, right?! The reality is, I have seen and photographed it all, and the more that I shoot, the more that I fall in love with this job! The joy, the excitement, the details, the tears, the dances on mountain tops or alone on the beach under the setting sun, the portraits that take your breath away... I love it all. Even after all the years, I still can’t get over the fact that I have been entrusted to uphold hundreds of couples' stories!! I don’t take my job for granted. My whole goal is for our couples to take ownership of how they start their married life, 100%, and how their story is told.

A. I'd tell them that you made our day EASY!! Including all the days leading up to the big day! With the coordinating day of stuff with pictures, engagement pictures and then the ease of getting our wedding pictures after the fact! You always responded to me in a timely manner, if I had any questions about anything. You offered advice on anything and everything that wasn't even photography related!! There wasn't a doubt in my mind that I would love our photos after we met with you the first time! We were so very thankful for everything you did for our big day and everything leading up to it, and continue to love the photos and precious memories we have!

A. My favorite part of the experience was how comfortable they made my husband and I feel. They told us exactly how to pose and by the end of our engagement session, it felt like they were our friends instead of someone we had just met!
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PART OF THe EXPERIENCE?

Great Overland Station
A. Choosing Ashley as our photographer was without a doubt the easiest and best decision we made while planning our wedding. She was flexible, understanding and provided so much more than photographs (which were stunning by the way). From the first time we met, I knew that she really "got us" as a couple and would capture the true essence of our day, which was filled with family, love and a little bit of flare. She helped me with planning a timeline, created a beautiful and modern wedding website and managed RSVPs for all of our guests. Ashley and her assistant made our family and friends comfortable, captured just the right moments and did so effortlessly. I hope to make Ashley a part of many more picture perfect moments that are sure to come as we grow old together.

Because you can’t know where you’re going unless you know where you’ve been.
"Ashley is the ABSOLUTE.BEST. She is so personable and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera - her pictures look natural and intimate and not forced or awkward.Working with Ashley is so enjoyable, she made everything a breeze and we were able to enjoy our day knowing that she had the photography under control!! I cannot recommend Ashley enough!"
