For the lovers who want to feel their wedding day forever.
Timeless, cinematic, and evocative — wedding photography that feels alive. Serving the Wilmington and Figure Eight Island area and beyond.
Your Story Told Through Art that Endures
I don't just take photos, I preserve the way love feels.
What to Expect
What you can expect with me isn’t a transaction — it’s an experience built on care, intention, and art.
I want to know you so that I can photograph you honestly, with love.
It’s photography that slows time down, so you can actually feel what’s happening when you see the imagery.
Art that Feels Alive
Most stories are photographed on a blend of 35mm film and digital —
so your Wedding gallery holds that cinematic depth, warmth, and nostalgia that can’t be faked or filtered.
Each frame is developed through a specialty film lab or personally hand-edited by me — no AI, no outsourcing —
so what you receive is crafted by human hands that felt your day.
An Experience Designed Around You
You won’t find generic packages here — only four thoughtful collections
created around how your day feels, not just how long it lasts.
Because this isn’t about checking boxes or filling timelines —
it’s about being present, grounded, and fully alive in the moments that matter.
Simple. Intentional. Human. Authentic.
You’ll have a real person walking beside you the entire way —
someone who listens deeply, helps you build a timeline that breathes,
and keeps the process easy, light, and grounded.
So you can stop worrying about logistics and start actually enjoying your engagement and wedding.
No Rush. No Rules. No Image Limits.
I’m not counting photos — I’m watching stories unfold.
I take the time to notice the quiet things most people miss —
the breath before you walk down the aisle, the way your parents hold hands, the soft chaos of your friends laughing in the corner.
Because you deserve art that reflects how it felt, not how it looked on a checklist.
Prepared. Present. All In.
Travel is always handled with intention —
so whether your celebration is by the sea or in the mountains,
you can count on me arriving rested, centered, and ready to create with you.
No Rushing. No Compromise. Only Integrity.
I don’t believe in churning out fast edits or sacrificing quality for speed.
Every image is refined with care,
so your final gallery doesn’t just look beautiful — it feels honest.
This is what it means to be seen through my lens
artistry without ego, guidance without pressure, and storytelling that breathes with real emotion.
So that years from now, when you look back,
you don’t just see your wedding —
you feel it. All of it.
If your love story feels a little unconventional— if you value art over tradition and emotion over perfection— you’ve found the right place.
“Ashley didn’t just photograph our wedding—she held space for us. Every moment felt intentional, sacred, and safe. We felt completely ourselves, and it shows in every single image.”
-Lindsay
Your wedding isn’t like anyone else’s.
I pour myself into every wedding I photograph — so I only take on a limited number of dates each year.
Because of that, pricing is custom for each couple.
The best way to get started is a quick call to feel out the connection.
If it’s a fit, we’ll create something that supports your day beautifully.
Imagine waking up on your wedding day knowing that everything is already taken care of.
You don’t have to perform.
You just get to be — and trust that someone is seeing you fully.
That’s what this is about.
Photography that feels human.
Art that tells the truth.
I don’t believe in rushing or replicating trends.
My approach is quiet, intentional, and rooted in human connection.
I’ll laugh with your friends, tear up during your vows, and photograph the things you didn’t even realize were beautiful.
Because when you look back at these images, I want you to feel your wedding, not just see it.
Process
1. Connect — Tell me who you are and all about your day and your vision.
2. Create — I’ll document your story with full presence and heart.
3. Relive — Your photos will feel like memory itself.
It really is that simple — no stress, no confusion, just intention.

“Ashley is the BEST! I have done two shoots (wedding and boudoir) with her and since the second I met her (even before) she made me feel so comfortable and I knew I could be myself around her. She has an amazingly creative mind and perfectly captured my vision during both shoots. She is quick with getting out sneak peaks and turn around time for the full album. Ashley is kind, generous, thoughtful and humble. She is super enthusiastic and open minded, as well as professional and responsive. She truly will make any big life event even more special than it already is. Just her energetic presence alone is contagious! I can't recommend her enough!!!” -Jessica

Google Review:
“Ashley was the absolute BEST to work with. We booked her for our engagement shoot and she seriously killed it, so we thought we would be stupid not to book her for our wedding. From the moment we met her she was just amazing. Taking photos can be kind of awkward but she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the lens and in turn you pictures turn out like you are having so much fun… because you are!!! She flew out to our wedding in Washington state, had fun with our families and captured the most magical moments of our lives so tastefully. I will be forever grateful for this lady!” -Hailee

“Ashley was our wedding photographer and WOW WOW WOW! I am blow[n] away by her talent and ability to capture our day in a unique and beautiful way. Her creative talent is beyond words and I've never been happier with a photo shoot. We hired her for both film and digital and she delivered on both. She is also extremely professional, relatable, and calm during the shoots. I cannot recommend her enough. I will be doing every shoot with her for the rest of my life! I am absolutely obsessed with my pictures.” -Molly

“Booking Ashley as our wedding photographer was the best decision we've ever made. Based on her fantastic portfolio and the wonderful consultation we had with her; we had high expectations, but Ashley managed to exceed them ten-fold! Ashley is an incredible photographer, and human, and we highly recommend her services. We already can't wait to book with her again for anniversary pictures and any other excuse we can think of!
The booking process was so simple, and we hit it off with Ashley immediately. We loved how much she truly cared about nailing down what we wanted our wedding photos to look like. On our big day, she came fully prepared and was a consummate professional while still being incredibly personable and kind. We had a micro-wedding (18 guests) in the backyard of an airbnb and Ashley did a wonderful job of moving around to get the perfect photos without drawing any attention to herself.
We did our portraits immediately following our ceremony and we deeply appreciated the way Ashley gave us the space to act like madly in love newlyweds while taking the most incredible candid shots and then reeling us in for our posed portraits. Most importantly, we had so much fun with Ashley!! We are both very awkward when it comes to having our photo taken, but Ashley kept us laughing and we forgot she was even holding a camera. She also went above and beyond to get the perfect shot; at one point she was fully laying on the ground switching between cameras and lenses!
Ashley's photos of our big day absolutely took our breath away and we are so excited to have phenomenal photos that we will get to cherish for a lifetime. -Lindsay

Next Steps
I only take on a limited number of weddings each year —because this isn’t just photography to me.
It’s personal. Spiritual. It’s all my energy and all my love. It’s a bespoke experience.
If you feel a little flutter reading this, let’s talk.
I’ll walk you through full galleries, listen to your vision, and help you feel fully seen so that you can see your story told in a way as unique as the two of you are.
What makes your work different?
My work blends photojournalism, cinematic storytelling, sexy editorial portraits. and the nostalgia of film. It’s emotional, raw, real, and handcrafted— no outsourcing, no rushing, nothing fake about it.
Do you travel?
Absolutely. My passport is ready and travel fees are included in most experiences.
How do we book?
All that’s needed to reserve your date (for any package) is the non-refundable retainer and a signed agreement. After that, we celebrate because you just made one of the best decisions of your wedding. Let’s make it official!
I offer payment plans upon request, with the final balance due one month prior to your wedding. Most of my clients choose to pay in full or in two installments, but I am always happy to stick with a plan that works best for you.
