Our Journey
Together
Photography first entered my life through family — cameras always nearby, brought along to gatherings and adventures, quietly preserving moments that mattered. Even then, what stayed with me wasn’t the idea of perfection, but the feeling photographs carried with them. The way an image could bring you right back — to laughter, connection, and the energy of being together in that exact moment.
Chapter One
The Beginning
Today, I photograph destination weddings
for couples who care deeply about
experience — how the day unfolds, how it feels
to move through it, and how present they’re able to be with the people they love most.
My approach is rooted in thoughtful preparation and emotional awareness, so there’s space for joy to breathe and moments to happen naturally, without rush or pressure.
Josh and I work together on many wedding days,
and that partnership brings an added layer of ease and calm. Whether he’s assisting, second shooting, or quietly supporting the flow behind the scenes,
we share the same intention: to protect the energy
of the day so couples can stay grounded, connected, and fully immersed in what they’ve planned so intentionally.
This journey — from the way I first
fell in love with photography to how we show up now — is driven by one belief: wedding images should feel alive.
They should hold movement, emotion, and meaning.
Not just reminders of how everything looked, but lasting reflections of how it felt to be there, together.
Chapter Three
How We Show Up Today
As my relationship with photography grew,
so did my understanding of what people truly treasure.
The images couples return to most aren’t just the beautiful portraits — they’re the moments that made them pause.
The deep breath before walking down the aisle.
Hands reaching for each other without thinking.
The joy that ripples through a room and pulls everyone
fully into the present. That awareness shapes everything about how I document a wedding day.

Chapter One
The Beginning
My life has become a grand adventure !
"Fast forward to now I still use their lessons about landscape photography to provide my couple, like you with detail photos of the location where you’re planning to say “I DO!!”. Using the lighting, special features of the surroundings & my creative eye I'm going to document YOUR day & what made it Y’ALL’S! Just as no sunset is the same as the next, your wedding is unlike any other!"

What sets me apart from other photographers?
"I have an eye for the smallest to the biggest moments. From flower girls admiring your dress the morning of, to your dad’s reaction as he sees you in your dress for the first time, your first kiss after being announced husband & wife, to him reaching to grab your hand while you’re chatting with a beloved guest. A wedding day isn’t just about the big events, it’s enchanting because of those small, initimate, quiet moments in between."

Your love story is unique & I'm here for it !
" Just like when I was a girl, I believe a memory is made with layers of details & moments intertwined. My belief in this can be seen in the thousands of photographs I’ve delivered in my career. Here’s my secret, I never forget that this is your ONE wedding day. I use my experience of hundreds of weddings to make YOUR WEDDING special for y’all. It’s that intentional focus on YOUR LOVE, YOUR WEDDING, & YOUR MOMENTS that makes every photo feel joyful, enchanting & timeless. "

I'm here to help you feel it all
I’m for couples who care just as much about how their wedding day feels as how it looks.
Those who value presence over performance, thoughtful pacing over packed timelines,
and meaningful moments over manufactured perfection.
My couples trust me to guide their experience
with intention — to notice what others might miss, protect space for connection, and step in with a steady presence when it matters most.
If you’re planning a destination celebration rooted in emotion, beauty, and purpose — and want imagery that reflects not just what it looked like, but what it felt like — we’ll be a natural fit.
If you’re drawn to a rigid, overly posed approach or a checklist-driven day, my style may not be the right match — and that’s okay.
Let's tell your love story
Josh and I have experienced both a large wedding and an intimate Oregon coast vow renewal. What stayed with us years later weren’t the traditions we followed, but the intentional choices we made to prioritize presence and meaning.
Supporting couples in making those kinds of decisions is at the very heart of how I approach every wedding— shaped by experiences Josh and I are always happy to share
when the time feels right.
Fun Facts
(ashlyn's version)
I take time early on to understand what matters most to you — asking the right questions, listening closely, and shaping a timeline that protects the moments you want to feel fully immersed in, from the quiet details you poured love into to the celebrations you don’t want to rush past.
Thoughtful preparation, before the day ever arrives
steady presence. thoughtful preparation. space to be present.
THE EXPERIENCE
Long before the day arrives, I’m thinking through the details others don’t see — scouting locations, tracking light and weather shifts, and responding calmly when plans change — so your experience remains uninterrupted.
When nerves surface or unexpected challenges arise, I’m there to ground the moment — listening first and guiding only when it’s needed, always with your experience at the center.

THE EXPERIENCE
A steady presence
when it matters most
On the wedding day itself, you don’t have to manage the flow of people, the pace of the day, or the in-between moments.
I hold the structure and the rhythm — so you’re free to slow down, stay present, and actually feel what you planned so intentionally, while I quietly take care of the rest.
