Congrats! Let me show ya around

Are you a bride-to-be?

I’ll be there to fix your hair, help with your heels, wipe the sand off your feet, or assist your dad with his boutonniere, all while capturing every beautiful moment. My goal is to create a fun, relaxed atmosphere so you can enjoy your day fully, knowing every special moment is being thoughtfully preserved.


As your wedding photographer, I’m not just behind the camera—I’m by your side, making sure every moment of your day is as joyful and stress-free as possible. 

Your friend behind the lens

hi, I'm Ashley

Wanting to learn more about the business and production aspects of the photography world, my journey then took me to NYC, where I worked as a production manager and studio photographer, covering events, celebrities, weddings, portrait sessions, premieres and more. Despite the excitement of city life, my heart always pulled me back to weddings.

After years of honing my skills and discovering my style, I realized that weddings combined everything I love about photography: the emotions, the joy, the intimate moments, and the beauty of each unique celebration. I returned to New Jersey to build my own business, documenting families, celebrating couples in love, and capturing all the pretty details in between. It's an honor to be a part of such a significant day in my clients' lives.


Photography started as a hobby during my high school days. While I initially pursued a major in broadcasting in college, with dreams of working in TV or movies, I kept photography as a minor. My passion grew when my dad bought me my first film camera. We would develop our own film and print out our work in the darkroom, cut our mat boards, everything was done by hand. 

I then began exploring digital photography and transferred to Penn State University where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Integrative Arts, majoring in Photography. Returning to New Jersey, I worked at a local portrait studio and also began shooting weddings on weekends. This hands-on experience solidified my love for wedding photography.

My husband Lou proposed on our trip to Arizona overlooking the Grand Canyon at sunrise. We were married 8 months later on a farm under a big white tent on a warm summer day surrounded by our closest friends and family. Our adorable pup Layla was the flower girl and we danced to “Hold my Hand” by Hootie and the Blowfish for our first dance. I understand firsthand how important it is to capture these memories in a way that you’ll cherish forever. 

We love to travel and explore new places, and we saved Italy for our honeymoon—it was worth the wait! Our daughter, Elin James, was born in January 2020, and Hazel June followed in December 2021. We love them to pieces!



Just like you, I’ve been through the excitement and anticipation of planning a wedding.
