I found Ashley on Instagram a few years ago. Fast forward to 2025 and we hired her for our daughter's senior photos. They came out better than what we expected! Ashley is so friendly and upfront about what to expect. I really respected that. There were no surprises, it was honestly a wonderful experience. My daughter felt comfortable and she is in love with her pictures came out. I highly recommend Ashley, not just for senior photos, but anything occasion because she really brought so much life to her photos. Booking process was very easy, emails had a lot of very helpful information. I didn't have many questions, but when I did, Ashley was able to help. read more

We hired Ashley to do some family photos for us while we were in Sedona. Working with her was great, she was very responsive and able to answer all our questions. She turned the photos around in the time frame she promised, and they turned out great! we loved the sedona back drop! read more

Ashley is a great photographer! Professional and fun. Excellent ideas for photos and works well with teens.

Ashley is absolutely amazing! Not only are her photography skills a 10 but her patience is as well! My 17 year old son did NOT want to do Senior pictures and was dead set on a snap shot with his iPhone for the yearbook! I cringed. After much back and forth he said he would do it but really wanted to go into the mountains. Ashley not only drove an hour out to the mountains, she also did a little hike to get the best quality photos! I was so impressed. After the pictures came back she met me at a local Starbucks and told me it's about an hour process to go through all the photos. We sat there for over 2 hours because I just could not decide because all the pictures were beyond what I could have hoped for! Ashley kept assuring me I was fine and to take my time! I could not be happier with the final product! I will absolutely be using Ashley to do more photos in the near future!!! read more

I don't know how she did it, but Ashley rounded up 21 of our family (plus 3 grand dogs) and did an amazing job taking our family photo. And All in frigid weather the day after Thanksgiving. That was the only time we could get every body together. In addition, she did silhouettes of each family, child and dog. All of us thought the pictures were amazing!! (Even our son, from LosAngeles, who is an actor and producer.) we will use her again the next time we can get everybody from 4 states together. Thanks, Ashley! read more

I absolutely loved working with Ashley for our family's photo shoot. She took the time to get to know our family and she used what she had learned to catch the most beautiful pictures of our family. I was so impressed with how she was with our kids. Her gift is taking the time to relate to the kids and then capture their best personalities on the camera. Our pictures were amazing and I cannot wait to work with her again!!! read more

We loved working with Ashley! She went above and beyond in helping our small children feel at ease (on a freezing day), which in turn helped us parents to relax. I daresay my 3 year old even had fun! I wanted some natural/candid shots and she was great at facilitating those. I was surprised at how quickly we got the pictures back and they are everything I hoped for! read more

Where do I begin? Simply put Ashley and Randy were incredible and I would highly recommend them to photograph your event. We recently eloped in Palm Springs. To us a photographer was the MOST important part since no family/friends were present. I found Ashley online and contacted her along with a few other photographers. Here is what I loved about Ashley + Randy: 1. She was the first to respond to my inquiry, offered straightforward answers to my questions AND suggested an officiant who we used and loved. 2. Even though we were a fairly small account, they took time to meet with us in person. They gave us a sweet gift and were incredibly helpful in narrowing down locations for our ceremony and photos. 3. The payment/contract process was all online and streamlined. Very easy and very professional. 4. Day of event they were timely, took tons of photos and even went with us to the Palm Springs sign to take photos (which we sprung on them kinda last minute). So after our time with Ashley + Randy we commented on how much we enjoyed them and how fun our day was. We hoped we would like our photos as much as we liked them! Which leads me to... 5. OUR PHOTOS WERE INCREDIBLE!!! They know what they're doing. We absolutely love our photos and they flawlessly captured our day. Please don't hesitate to hire Ashley + Randy. They are kind, professional and very good at what they do. You will not be disappointed! read more

Ashley is so wonderful and makes even the most awkward couple feel comfortable and at ease. She is talented and directs you in a polite and flattering way. Highly recommended. read more

Ashley was great, especially with her styling. My daughter had so much fun doing her senior photos with her, and they turned out beautifully. We highly recommend her. read more

Randy + Ashely were absolutely amazing to work with! They took our engagement photos, my boudoir shoot, and wedding photos and we were absolutely blown away by the photos they captured! Randy+ Ashely are super organized- they even helped us create a wedding timeline that we shared with our other vendors. They took time to get to know us and make us feel comfortable and relaxed whenever we were working with them. I cannot recommend Randy+ Ashely enough! You will not regret working with them! read more

I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about Randy + Ashley and HIGHLY recommend them to all my family, friends, and future brides and grooms. They are not only SO fun and fabulous, but they are absolutely INCREDIBLE at what they do! I fell in love with their style of photography when seeing a friend's photoshoot with them and absolutely knew my (now) husband Chris and I HAD to book them for our March 2018 Palm Springs wedding. We loved that they were a husband and wife duo and small business owners who are still madly in love with each other even with four young kids. Talk about #goals! In all sincerity, choosing Randy + Ashley was one of the BEST decisions we made in our wedding planning process. Randy + Ashley were eager to FaceTime with us to get to know us and our story, and they were invaluable in every step of our planning process. We really wanted a desert vibe for engagement photos, and they recommended Joshua Tree, which they know inside and out. My husband Chris and I were so unsure of how to pose and thought we would be so awkward in front of the camera, but Randy + Ashley have such a unique talent in making the whole process so much fun that we genuinely forgot we were taking photos and just spent the time laughing and talking! Our engagement photos in Joshua Tree were out of this world BEAUTIFUL. Additionally, I can't tell you how many calls, emails, and texts Ashely and I had going for months in preparation for our March 2018 wedding--she went above and beyond helping with our timeline, our must-have wedding day photos, and SO much more. Our wedding day was EVERYTHING and more in large part because of how phenomenal Randy + Ashley are. I felt so at ease all day with them by our side all wedding day. I was shocked when we received our complete gallery of wedding photos less than a month after we were married, unbelievable! Literally ALL of the photos are STUNNING, and I cry every time I look through them because of how beautifully they capture the emotion and fun of the day. We feel SO privileged to become such wonderful friends with Randy + Ashley and be part of the RAD weddings family! We look forward to having Randy + Ashley photograph all of our future life milestones and have them in our lives as friends! HUGE thanks, Randy + Ashley!! We love you guys SO much and couldn't recommend you both more highly!! read more

My partner and I had the pleasure working with Ashley and Randy at Ashley Durham Photography leading up to and during our wedding. Interestingly enough, it was their first California wedding after moving back to Palm Springs from Colorado, as well as their first LGBT wedding ever. So, as to make sure we were happy and that they'd get a comprehensive idea of what we were looking for, we spent time together, filled them in on our history as a couple as well as our plans, for the wedding and life! Also, ran through some peculiarities as to how certain 'straight' things just don't work when shooting a gay couple. They had an open mind, got it all and delivered a smooth and spot-on performance with compliments still pouring in from our friends around the world. It was just a perfect experience all around. The attention we received for the price we paid was excellent. Ashley and Randy blended into our group of guests seamlessly and it felt like they weren't there. Yet, they managed to brilliantly capture the vintage chic, preppy and stylish atmosphere we had been working on creating, including the most natural and simply coolest snapshots of our guests. Among the probably 5.000 photos we received (all in color and black/white) where maybe only a handful of ones we didn't like - but that is most certainly a subjective call. Most importantly, they guided us and we let ourselves be guided as to what they thought would be the must-haves; again, no disappointment here. The attention to detail was great. Shortly after the wedding, Ashley published a quick sneak at what was to come and everyone among our guests couldn't wait for more. The eventual blog told a wonderful story of a great day in the desert...including shout outs to all vendors, and every designer that contributed. A perfect memory. read more

MAGIC! PASSION! ADVENTUROUS! LOVING! SUPPORTIVE... I absolutely can not say enough about Randy and Ashley and the MOST BEAUTIFULY CAPTURED PICTURES they took for me and my new husband! This is so much more than just a job for them, its their life and it shows in their work. WOW WOW WOW. My husband and I haven't stopped ranting and raving about these two, seriously it was the best decision we made. Randy & Ashley were supportive the entire wedding process, but more importantly they stepped up and made sure the entire day went smoothly when other people let the ball drop. There is so much I could say about them, but I will leave you with this, my wedding was magical, it was exactly what I hoped for and more, it really was the best day of my life, and I will forever be grateful to Randy & Ashley I wouldn't have been able to do it without them.. and I wouldn't have wanted to! read more

My gorgeous wife, Nicole Abucejo-Poon and I got married this past Friday at the Riviera Hotel in Palm Springs! I still remember that day when I first saw Rocio's beautiful wedding pictures on my Facebook feed (coincidentally that was when I was searching for a photographer for our wedding). I contacted Rocio (my HS classmate) and she was so helpful with all of my silly questions, she told me that Ashley Durham and Randy Durham were her photographers and said how amazing they were for her wedding! Thank YOU again, Rocio! Nicole and I loved all of the pictures from Rocio's wedding so I contacted Ashley and met her and Randy in person... and there went our amazing adventure with the most talented and amazing photographers in business! Ashley and Randy were extremely awesome and fun to work with, they provided us a lot of guidance and assistance to ensure we had the most beautiful engagement and wedding pictures. Ashley and Randy knew how to communicate with us in a super fun and professional manner! We also love their automated email reminders of anything they needed from us so we could make things happen with them and for them in a timely manner - that alone shows how detailed they are as photographers and to ensure we are always on track with any pic-related moments! Ashley and Randy make such an awesome and fun team, they also work very well with our wedding planner, Emma so that made everything super easy for us as a couple! It's also great to have a two-person photography team so they could always capture all of our moments from different angles all at the same time! We were so lucky to have Ashley and Randy to be our wedding photographers and we just cannot ask for more when we got the best! We love them and we sincerely thank them for their hard-working efforts in making sure that we've got all of the pictures needed during our ReHERsal dinner, our engagement photo shoot and of course, our wedding too! It's hard to find people like Randy and Ashley as they are so passionate, talented, professional and patient yet super fun in their work! We would HIGHLY recommend anyone who wants to get beautiful and professional pictures for their weddings or any special occasions taken to hire this amazing and talented couple! So please people - Look no further if you want the best photographers in the business.. Just hire Ashley and Randy! You won't regret it - I promise you! Thank you guys so much, we love you both for all of your support, for being YOU and for all of your amazing photography talent! read more

Ashley Durham Photography - Me and my beautiful wife! Taken by Randy + Ashley Studios!!! The best in business!! - Session Photography Near Me

Ashley was our photographer at our wedding in April of 2013. We decided to interview her based on her online portfolio. Her style jived with ours. We picked her based after meeting her based on how personable she was, how she made us feel comfortable and ourselves from the first meeting. Our main focus was to have the BEST wedding pictures so we had something to remember our day. Her pictures have become our backdrop on our walls, our backgrounds on our phones, our memories that allow us to relive the day like it was yesterday. Since our wedding, Ashley has done many more photo shoots with us to include: boudoir, family photos and a newborn lifestyle session. I can't say enough about how amazing Ashley is behind and beside her lense! read more

Hiring Randy + Ashley to photograph our wedding day was one of the best decisions my husband and I made; I cannot recommend them highly enough! All of the pictures turned out beautifully, everything was perfect, we're in love with the whole gallery--but just as wonderful as the final product was the process. I feel like Ashley was a part of the entire wedding planning adventure; she's a social media wizard, and so warm and friendly, making her really fun and easy to stay in touch with over the months leading up to the big day. I followed her blog and saw every wedding and engagement session she shot, so I got a great sense of what kinds of pictures and moments I wanted to ask for, and I kept her posted on how our plans were coming together, which she was always enthusiastic about. We had a pretty non-traditional wedding--no judgments against tradition, but the way we did it was perfect for us--and I never felt even a hint of pressure to conform to anyone else's "wedding norms". Randy and Ashley were enthusiastic about capturing our day the way we wanted it; it was awesome to be cheered on like that, and to have such confidence through all the preparations that Randy and Ashley would make it all look gorgeous. We had a great time shooting our engagement session in Joshua Tree, and even with the LA-to-Palm Springs distance they were able to meet at our venue and do a walkthrough a few weeks before the wedding, so by the day-of they really felt like friends--I was so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera! The whole day was just so much fun, and Randy and Ashley are both such funny, joyful, loving people, many of our guests commented on how friendly and easy-to-be-around they were. The candid photos of our guests are my absolute favorites; every wedding photographer will take lovely pictures of the bride and groom, sure, and Randy and Ashley definitely made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world, but they also caught the most stunning, joy-filled pictures of our friends and loved ones, looking so happy for us, and I know we'll treasure those for a lifetime. Randy and Ashley are the DREAM TEAM--I am forever grateful! read more

I would highly recommend Randy + Ashley for photos! They are professional, courteous, and talented. They responded to my emails and questions quickly and accurately. We were able to meet with them beforehand and Randy + Ashley were down to earth and gave off great vibes (very important). I also went with them because they were familiar with the area and took photos of exactly what I was looking for. Ashley made my fiance and I feel very comfortable during our engagement session in Palm Springs. I loved the way our photos turned out they are amazing! I am very happy with their work and the overall experience we had and would work with them again!!! read more

Randy and Ashley came highly recommended by our wedding planner and FAR EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS. I cannot say enough positive things about them but here is a start - 1) they go out of their way to get to know you as a couple to ensure your photos reflect YOU, 2) they are extremely creative in their shoots and capture the most impt moments, 3) they are highly organized and not afraid to direct traffic the day of - something that you most surely want, 4) they go above and beyond in every since of the word. We just got back from our honeymoon and had a holiday ornament of two of our photos. They do blogs which are awesome to share what happened and the highlights with your family and friends. No one had nothing but the most positive to things to say about the results they deliver. And - after all - the photos are the only thing you have to look back on. Do yourself a favor and hire R+A. You will not regret it - ever. WE LOVE THEM! read more
