CALL IT A CLAN, CALL IT A NETWORK, CALL IT A TRIBE, CALL IT A FAMILY: WHATEVER YOU CALL IT, WHOEVER YOU ARE, YOU NEED ONE.” —Jane Howard

I’m Ashley, a destination wedding photographer based in Northern California. Photography is in my DNA—my grandparents were photographers who developed their own film and hand-painted edits long before Photoshop existed. With a camera in hand, I studied abroad in Italy, traveling across Europe while practicing portraiture and documentary photography. Back in the States, I landed my first paid job as a campus photographer, specializing in studio headshots, product photography, lifestyle, landscape, group portraits, and more. I eventually became the lead photographer and mentored incoming interns. While earning my degree in graphic design, I continued working with my own photography clients until going full-time in wedding photography in 2019—and I haven’t slowed down since.

I’d describe myself as a Type-A creative, blending my heart for design and art with a love for organization and efficiency to deliver stunning images. I incorporate digital, film, and drone imagery to create a final gallery that feels elevated and diverse.

“When we met with Ash, she immediately made us feel at ease. The aura that she brings is that of kindness, positivity, and generosity, a personality that is reflected so clearly in the beautiful art that she creates.”
