I want to preface this review by saying I had to search really hard for a photographer that had experience photographing people of color in a flattering manner. I interviewed other photographers before Ash and some stated they photographed darker skin tones before but had ZERO evidence of that in their portfolios. As you can imagine, this was a frustrating process because I do not want to pay a photographer to be their guinea pig on my special day! The photographer that could show me a person of color even stated that the photos were kind of gray and washed out because he usually uses a gray filter for paler tones and that's what people typically request!! I asked if he could take the SINGLE photo back to the drawing board and edit it so that the color is more saturated and he told me he wasn't interested. There's a really good buzzfeed video about this very issue from the videographers of the show Insecure. In short, regardless of your skin tone, if you want to spend your hard earned cash on someone that truly cares about your appearance on your special day, Ash is for you. She is very bubbly and friendly. She is a great listener and remembers everything. She even wore my wedding colors. She was early to the site (two hours away from Austin) and left late. I'm not expecting anyone to do this but I'm just telling you what happened. I did my own makeup and she took shots of my face multiple times to ensure I wasn't making any terrible mistakes. We discussed ahead of time that I am a fan of candid shots and she caught plenty of those!! Poor Ash had to jump in the very very back of my cousin's SUV to ride with me to the altar due to the setup of the venue. She even traipsed through the woods with us to get those important wilderness shots. And best of all, the sunset photos. The sunset photos brought out so many colors that were actually there but barely visible during our November wedding. I don't have a single complaint about Ash! I have been thinking for a month now for something critical to say. I have asked my partner and she can't come up with anything either. All I can say is that the pictures were amazing, the color saturation was there, we weren't faded and washed out and the pictures were crystal clear. I hate posed photos and even those where we are posing do not look staged. We received the photos before the date on our contract and she was super patient with my random text messages stating "where are my pics??". Her website is super cute and accessible and our family loves it. She was professional but nice enough to get along with my family and chat with them during the wedding to make them feel comfortable. She got my mom to take off her perpetual sunglasses so I finally have good pictures of my mom! If you like her photos, then book her. If you are looking for something a little different, whatever that is, then talk to her about it and I'm sure she can make it happen. read more

I would highly recommend Ash. She was very professional and made us feel comfortable throughout the shoot. She did such a fantastic job editing and capturing all of the special moments. I will certainly use her again in the future. read more

Ash photographed our wedding in the Hill Country this past March. She was wonderful to work with from the first time we met her. Ash was very clear on what she needed from us and spent time finding out what we wanted out of our pictures. I was very pleased to find that the pictures of both family and friends & the venue were spectacular. The price was right to begin with, but Ash did such a nice job, I would now say we got it for a steal. We recommend Ash to anyone getting married in or around Austin! read more

Our engagement session was top notch. The photos we did receive from our wedding were great, however only 3 out of 222 were posed photos of the bride and groom. 43% of all photos were candids, 30% were posed, 18% were of details/stuff (not people). I guess we should have been clearer about our expectations. We tried to book a post-wedding portrait session in hopes of getting some bride & groom portraits, but unfortunately did not receive a reply from this company. read more
