Wedding photography isn’t just about documenting what happened — it’s about creating an atmosphere where you can fully live it
An unhurried approach to destination weddings,
shaped by preparation, emotional steadiness, and deep respect for the experience you’ve chosen to create.
My approach is calm, intentional, and joy-forward. I guide when it’s helpful, step back when moments unfold naturally, and celebrate alongside you
so the day feels as good as it looks

Whether you’re planning an intimate mountain ceremony, a destination elopement, or a celebration surrounded by your closest people, every experience is designed with the same goal:

where you can fully live it
Intentional couples believe their wedding day should feel just as meaningful as it looks.
They care deeply about connection, presence, and celebrating with the people they love — creating space for moments to unfold naturally throughout the day.
They’re drawn to meaningful places — whether that’s an iconic destination, a quiet mountain landscape, a seaside sunset, or somewhere that simply feels like part of their story.
For many of the couples I work with, place is part of the experience itself — from the mountain landscapes of the American West to Italian châteaus and destinations across Europe and beyond.
Most couples I work with turn their engagement sessions into an experience of their own — traveling somewhere beautiful together before the wedding day and choosing locations that reflect this season of their lives.
They want a photographer who brings both a calm presence and a hype-woman energy — someone who guides when it’s helpful, celebrates alongside them, and documents the day with intention.
The result is imagery that feels timeless, emotional, and deeply reflective of the experience they lived together.

Each session is thoughtfully curated to reflect your connection, from location and styling guidance to a pace that allows real moments to unfold naturally.
Approached with the same care as a wedding day, these experiences are unhurried, gently guided, and centered on how it feels to be together — resulting in imagery that is timeless, emotional, and true to you.

signature engagement
Engagement sessions are designed as an intentional pause — a chance to slow down, connect, and celebrate the season you’re in right now.
Rather than a rushed photoshoot, these experiences are unhurried and thoughtfully guided. Before we ever step behind the camera, I help you curate a session that feels natural to your relationship — from location selection and styling support to gentle direction that allows you to relax into the moment.
During our time together, you’ll have space to move, laugh, and settle in — fully present with one another. The result is a layered, story-driven gallery that reflects not just how this chapter looked, but how it felt — delivered in a timeless mix of color and black & white imagery.
This is where trust is built, comfort grows, and your story begins — long before the wedding day arrives.

Destination engagement sessions are designed as a shared escape — an intentional experience that blends connection, travel, and storytelling in a place that feels meaningful to you.
These sessions go beyond a single location or moment. Together, we thoughtfully plan an experience that allows you to fully arrive — considering light, landscape, movement, and how the environment shapes the way your story unfolds.
Before we ever step behind the camera, I guide you through location selection, timing, and styling so everything feels cohesive and effortless once we’re there. During our time together, I offer calm direction and gentle guidance — allowing your connection to take the lead while I document it with intention.
The result is a layered, editorial gallery that reflects not only the beauty of the destination, but the feeling of being there together — captured in a timeless mix of color and black & white imagery.
This experience is for couples who see their engagement photos as part of the adventure — not just a session, but a memory rooted in place, presence, and meaning.

These sessions are designed to feel effortless, natural, and deeply personal — guided with intention every step of the way.
Just like I do for my wedding couples, I’ll help you feel fully prepared and confident going into your session — from location and outfit guidance to gentle direction in posing so nothing ever feels forced or uncertain.
Whether we’re documenting a graduation, growing family, anniversary, or simply this season of life as it is right now, the experience is built to feel easy, supported, and true to you — so your photos don’t just look beautiful, they feel like something you lived.

This experience is planned in confidence. I work closely with you behind the scenes to thoughtfully plan timing, location, and approach — ensuring the proposal feels natural, meaningful, and true to your relationship.
On the day of the proposal, my presence is calm and discreet. I document the moment as it naturally unfolds — the anticipation, the emotion, the pause before “yes,” and the reactions that follow — without drawing attention or altering the experience in any way.
Afterward, we take time to celebrate. Once the surprise has settled, I guide you through a relaxed portrait session so you can savor the moment together — capturing both the raw emotion and the joy that comes after.
The result is a story-driven gallery that preserves the full experience — from the quiet planning to the unforgettable moment itself — captured in a timeless mix of color and black & white imagery.
This experience is for those who want the proposal remembered not just as a question asked, but as a moment truly felt.

Most couples aren’t sure at first — and that’s completely normal.
The right coverage isn’t about choosing a number… it’s about how you want your day to feel.
If you’re drawn to something intimate and intentional, a shorter timeline may be perfect — capturing the essentials with space to stay present.
If you want room for getting ready, golden hour, and the full story of your day to unfold naturally, more coverage creates that freedom.
And if your celebration includes multiple locations, meaningful transitions, or a larger guest experience, extended coverage allows everything to be documented without ever feeling rushed.
I’ll guide you through it all — shaping a timeline that protects what matters most, so you can be fully immersed in your day.

Not every couple dreams of a traditional wedding day — some crave something quieter, more intentional, and deeply personal.
Elopements are designed as an immersive experience centered on the two of you. Whether you’re exchanging vows barefoot at sunrise, sharing a private ceremony with a few loved ones, or wandering somewhere meaningful together, your day is guided with care, flexibility, and presence.
Rather than following a rigid timeline, we build space for what matters most — connection, emotion, and the freedom to let the day unfold naturally. Your elopement can be as simple or as layered as you wish, always honoring how this chapter feels, not just how it looks.

She photographed me and my wife’s wedding day and helped make the day a dream come true.

We had such an excellent experience working with Ashlyn! Our photos were beautiful, and the package we got gave us so many well-edited digital photos and the ability to customize a lovely album. I also loved getting several “sneak peak” photos so soon after the wedding. These were absolutely beautiful and still are some of my favorites; it was so nice to be able to share them so quickly. Besides the photos themselves, Ashlyn was wonderful. She was calm and joyous, perfectly balancing being fun with getting all those group shots done quickly and efficiently! I would absolutely recommend her!
Wonderful photographer!!

WE LOVE ASHLYN! I found Ashlyn on instagram and hired her as my wedding photographer. She went above and beyond. Not only was
she extremely organized and professional, but she is very efficient and commands a room.
My husband and I were very impressed by her, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ashlyn to friends and family that need a photographer in the future. Additionally, her photos are gorgeous! Everyone has been raving about her since our wedding.
10/10 would recommend! Thank you so much Ashlyn!
Ashlyn is the Best!!!
