How We Roll

Elevated, But Make it Fun

Ash Gabes has been documenting couples, families and brands since 2014. Recognized as one of the Best California Wedding Photographers, her signature laid-back editorial style and digital/film hybrid approach allow her to capture genuine emotion through a modern and nostalgic lens.

  • "A photographer that turned friend, then turned into what felt like family. AshGabes truly has an incredible gift and eye for those special moments and everything in between. If you want a photographer that is professional, enthusiastic, and will hands down give you photos that you could have only dreamt of, then Ash is your gal."

    Alison & John, Big Sur Elopement

  • "Ash and her team delivered beyond our expectations! As an interracial couple, it was really hard trying to find a photographer because of the challenge of beautifully photographing our different skin tones. We have worked with different photographers and I have never seen another be able to shoot an interracial couple like Ash! She is so sweet, professional, personable and easy to work with."

    Gracie & Kofi - Franciscan Gardens Wedding

  • "Ash has it all! Her photos are gorgeous but they also do a great job of capturing the moment in its entirety, with all of the rawness, emotion and love felt in real life. She captured my family members' personalities perfectly. She's also just an awesome person to work with - friendly, organized, cheerful, and on top of her stuff. My entire family was impressed, even before they saw the photos!"

Sunsets, color and SoCal views are just a few things that inspire my work. When it comes to your wedding day or portrait session, my top priority is capturing your story and vision, and of course, having fun!
