Candid, Storied Moments

Capturing moments in time so you can relive your most treasured memories

Documenting you, your love and the sweet subtleties of both fills me with immense joy. I want your photos to take your breath away — to bring you joy in capturing the sparkly, tender, vibrant moments in your story that you can relish forever. I prioritize presence and connection in my work over just "getting the shot" and want our time together to fun and full of excitement!

Meet Ash

Hey! I’m Ash, an award-winning wedding & portrait photographer based in southern California. Recently recognized as one of the Best California Wedding Photographers (2024) by Junebug Weddings. I first got my hands on a camera during a college study abroad trip to Barcelona. I took more photos than anyone should and fell madly in love with photography. Looking back at the photos, I realized how joyfully consumed I was with documenting my friends, our memories & simply existing with one another. I love to relive those adventurous days in Spain through my photos. I haven't stopped taking photos since.

All things West Coast make my heart beat faster: the music, food, fashion, culture, diversity of humans and stunning landscapes. Sunsets at the beach or in the desert light me up! Good belly laughs and vibey dance moves are my favorite.

When I am not behind the lens, you’ll find me relaxing at the beach, sipping an iced coffee and reading my latest obsession. Being the Pisces that I am, I feel most myself when surrounded by my people or deep in an artistic project.

  • Her photos are seriously amazing. We cry, we laugh, we smile looking at her photos. We have a few we love so much we go back to look at them multiple times per week (and not just because they are screensavers or printed out). She has a way of capturing genuine emotions and warm light that makes for the most wonderful photos. We really wanted our love and our personalities to show through and I really believe she did that! THANK YOU!!!

  • Ashley was absolutely amazing and really worked with my husband and i on our vision! She executed it perfectly and was so professional, my whole family afterwards was telling me they were impressed with how on top of everything she was. We will definitely be booking her for all future photography needs!!

  • Ash is the best!!! Found her for our wedding (super dreamy photos that bring out the best of your dress, vibe and the venue) and now she’s done maternity and family shoots for us that always turn out beautiful. She gets all the shots you ask for but ends up also getting better ones you never thought of! She’s also the sweetest person.
