We are absolutely blown away by our experience with Ashley! From the moment we received our sneak peek wedding photos, we were in tears reliving our day--they are beyond beautiful. Ashley also did our engagement photos, and both experiences were incredible from start to finish. She is truly one of a kind: incredibly talented, professional, and dedicated. She pours her heart into everything she does, has the patience of a saint, and somehow makes you feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Because of that, the photos reflect our relationship and our day so authentically and beautifully. We've been raving about her nonstop--she's simply the best! We're endlessly grateful for the memories she's captured and couldn't recommend her more highly. read more

We truly can't say enough good things about working with Ashely. From the very beginning, she was the first vendor we booked because we instantly fell in love with her work--and she completely exceeded our expectations. She captured both our engagement and wedding photos so beautifully, telling the full story of this chapter in our lives. Every photo brings us right back to the joy, emotion, and energy of the day. We've received countless compliments from friends and family who say the photos feel like us -- she truly nailed it. Beyond her incredible talent, Ashley made the entire process effortless. From planning through to the wedding day, she was organized, warm, and such a grounding presence. We felt completely at ease knowing she was there to capture every moment. We're endlessly grateful and hope we get to work with her again in the future! read more

We had the absolute best experience working with Ashley! She went above and beyond, even flying out to Boulder, CO for a day to capture our engagement photos, and the pictures turned out stunning. On our wedding day, she didn't miss a moment. Ashley has an incredible eye for detail and managed to capture every shot we had hoped for (and so many beautiful candid moments we didn't even think to ask for). She made us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, and her energy kept the day light and fun. We now have the most gorgeous collection of photos that perfectly reflect our day and our personalities. If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, talented, and truly dedicated to her clients, Ashley is the one. Highly recommend! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! From the very beginning, Ashley was an absolute joy to work with. She is so responsive, caring, organized, and fun to talk to. We first met her in person to do our engagement pictures and were amazed by how comfortable she made us feel and how much fun we had taking the pictures together. Our wedding experience with her was no different- she made us feel so comfortable and it felt like we had a friend with us all day cheering us on and supporting us. Her photos are so insanely gorgeous, and she somehow always manages to capture the emotion and magic in every moment. I would get married all over again just to get to hang out with Ashley! I truly can't recommend her enough. Thank you for everything Ashley!! read more

Ashley is an amazing photographer and a truly wonderful person. She took the most beautiful photos of us at our wedding, which was no easy feat because we both hate having our picture taken. She was very good at helping us relax and embrace the moment. She used all her tips and tricks to get us to look natural in the amazing photos she captured. From the first meeting we had with Ashley, she understood our vibe. We didn't want to do an engagement photo shoot and instead of pressuring us to do that (like some other photographers did), she told us that she completely understood and gave us the option of her coming to our welcome party instead of an engagement shoot, which ended up working out incredibly well. Ashley went above and beyond to prepare for our wedding. She had never photographed at our venue before, but she made a point of making several trips to the venue prior to our wedding weekend to scope out the best places for photographs and talk to the wedding coordinator at the venue to make sure she knew all the best spots for photos. She worked extremely well with all of our vendors and our wedding planner is still gushing about how wonderful Ashley was and how she can't wait to work with her again. Ashley also navigated our families so well and made everyone feel special and seen on our wedding day. Ashley and her second shooter, Morgan, were an amazing team, and we have the best photos to remember everything. I cannot recommend Ashley enough! She's the best! read more

We were beyond elated to have Ashley as our photographer at our wedding! From the planning stages, Ashley was thoughtful about our whole timeline for the evening, and walked us through our photo choices (like whether to get sunset photos at the nearby beach, or closer onsite which would let us spend more time with our guests). She was so thorough with her timeline, we actually used her timeline over any created by our coordinators to plan our day. Ashley did such an incredible job putting us at ease and bringing out genuine moments of happiness between us, that she then captured beautifully. Both Ashley and her second shooter Morgan navigated through our many family members efficiently and in such a friendly upbeat manner. We had multiple family members and guests comment on how great our photographers were at directing groups for photos and being present everywhere there was a moment to capture. Beyond their photography role, Ashley and Morgan felt more like friends than vendors on our wedding day. They helped us pin our boutonnière, figure out a pocket square, and fashioned a tie clip from a bobby pin to keep the tie straight through the rest of the night. They thoughtfully brought a water bottle for us as we traipsed around the redwoods taking photos before our ceremony, and gave us snacks as they hid us in their car when guests were arriving at the ceremony site. As a queer couple, Ashley was the most conscientious vendor we worked with - from having neutral gender on her paperwork to picking up on the subtle cues of what language we used to describe each other, we felt incredibly accepted and comfortable with her. We were initially drawn to Ashley for her creative vision - we loved the way she managed to capture moments of emotion and her images highlighting the nature surrounding her subjects. Our engagement photos in Yosemite and the sneak-peek photos of our wedding have been everything we hoped for, and we are so excited to see more! read more

Ashley was beyond amazing to work with for our engagement shoot at Bidwell Park. Leading up to the shoot, I was pretty nervous that my fiance and I would be awkward since we both tend to shy away from the camera. Almost immediately Ashley eased our nerves with her big smile and expertise. She coached us and gave us helpful tips the whole time. We had a blast running around Bidwell together, scouting out some of our favorite spots. It was such a fun experience! And when we received the photos we were absolutely blown away. Ashley has such an artistic eye, and she did an amazing job at capturing the essence of our relationship. I have no idea how we'll narrow down to a select few to frame! We will 100% be calling Ashley to capture our future milestones. read more

It's been well over 9 months since my husband and I had maternity photos done with AVH Photography and I STILL have people tell me how much they love our photos daily. I absolutely adore every photo Ashley took of us and was disappointed only by how difficult it was to decide which photos I liked best. Working with Ashley was so easy and fun. She made me feel beautiful in every pose and outfit, even with my ever-expanding size. Her sweet demeanor is perfect to work with the shy gents, as well. She directed my husband and actually got him to laugh his REAL smile, which is a difficult enough job alone. She gave feedback exactly the way I needed it so I could have every detail I dreamed of be perfect in our photos. She also took suggestions for props, etc. perfectly. She was so sweet, she even purchased fresh flowers for us to use in the shoot and booked the farm from her own personal contact. It was so easy, all we had to do was show up! When I got the photos back, I bawled my eyes out. Not tears of sadness, I was SO overwhelmed with the excellent quality of her photography I was bursting with joy. We got many more photos from her than expected and they were all such high quality shots. Every angle was flattering and every detail I wished to be gone was meticulously brushed away. The artistry of her photography is really beautiful, too. She obviously knows how to work a camera and it's clear from her work that she loves what she does. Often photographers play too much with filters and the reality of the photos are lost. With AVH, I feel like she flawlessly captured reality, only just a little better :) I feel so lucky to have stumbled across her webpage in my photography search. I can't wait to have her do my next maternity (and hopefully others) shoot! Thanks, Ashley and AVH Photography! Your talent and personality are wonderful! read more

AVH Photography does unbelievable work! We searched & searched to find the right photographer to take our family portraits. We looked out of our bubble of local photographers (200 miles!) and the search was so worth it! She is super friendly, patient, easy to work with and open to any ideas you may have. She has a wide variety of location options that are stunning! As well as the option of having her come to you. She is very professional, and for the quality and time she puts into her photography, very reasonably priced. Usually taking pictures is a very stressful event for our family, however this was not the case this time. We actually had fun! She and her assistant made it fun for the kids which made it easy on us parents. And it shows in the pictures! I absolutely love how our pictures turned out! Ashley really captured "us!" read more

I recently did a photo shoot with Ashley for building a personal brand/small business type website. From the get go, Ashley was very professional and easy to work with. She immediately got the look and feel I was going for and provided quite a few examples to help solidify the vision. I was nervous for the shoot, but she is so easy going and fun to work with so it was totally comfortable. The photos turned out amazing! I'm so happy with the results and hope to work with her again soon. Overall a total bargain for that kind of talent. Thank you, Ashley!! read more

This was our very first time getting professional pictures done, safe to say I was nervous it was going to be awkward, but the moment I met Ashley it was all smiles and laughs. I had made her a pinterest board of all the pictures I liked and she recreated all of them and exceeded our expectations by a long shot. We wanted pictures in his military uniform, in regular clothes, and with our TWO dogs and she had no problem with all our accommodations and even brought someone to help with our dogs!!! What an amazing photographer that goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are happy!!! Anytime I had a question whether it had been before during or after the shoot she replied back quickly with her answers. If you are looking for someone who will take pictures that will last a lifetime filled with happiness and memories, AVH is the only option! read more

Ashley recently went on a cross country road trip and was kind enough to photograph my daughter while on her vacation. Not only was Ashley able to get some of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen of a newborn, she did so with no props, only natural lighting through a window, and with a format that was less than ideal for her liking. I've actually had the pleasure of knowing Ashley for the majority of her life and if there's one thing that holds as true today as it did the day I met her is that she exudes and encompasses raw artistic talent. She is also one of the most fun and radiant people you will ever have the pleasure of working with. She is truly a gem and she has my business any day off the week. read more

I had graduation pictures done with Ashley, and she was wonderful! She knew all of the best locations to take photos at Chico state, and made me feel very comfortable! So many great photos in an hour! read more

My husband and I just got pictures taken by Ashley for our one year anniversary. Ashley photographed my sister-in-law's wedding and did an amazing job for them and when we saw their pictures, we swooped in and booked her too. We absolutely LOVE our photos and are so happy with the whole experience. Ashley is so sweet and friendly and very easy to work with. I had to reschedule the pictures once and Ashley was super sweet and accommodating about it. We met at our location and it turned out they were closed, so Ashley came up with a great Plan B on the spot that ended up working out even better. She was so personable and easy to work with. I didn't feel awkward or too staged, which photo shoots always have potential to be. She sent us previews within the week and we got all our edited pictures back within the month. And most importantly, the pictures are amazing!! They're even better than I was hoping for. She has a great eye for photography and we will definitely be using her again. I couldn't say enough good things about Ashley. She is highly, highly, highly recommended by us. read more
