My husband and I chose Ashley because her photography style perfectly matched our May Day/Spring wedding. We knew she had the ability to capture our wedding day exactly as we'd envisioned it. When looking for vendors I felt many had a moody, darker style and that was the opposite of what we were wanting. I was so relieved when we found Ashley. We knew she was the first vendor we wanted to secure! We are so impressed with the difference that film photography makes in the coloring, quality and feel of our images. It's become clear after seeing them printed out and hung on our wall. Our pictures are truly unlike any wedding photos I've seen. Obviously I'm biased but every time I look at our album I catch myself smiling without even knowing it. There are countless things throughout our engagement and wedding day that blew me away about Ashley's talent and service. We live in Kansas City but our wedding took place in my hometown of Wichita. Ashley went out of her way to accommodate us! She cleared a Friday evening for our engagement photo session so that we could make a weekend out of it and visit family rather than making it a there-and-back trip. We also had 0 ideas of where to take engagement and wedding day pictures and she completely solved that for us! When we got to the church the day of the wedding she showed me a picture of the altar to make sure the decorations and flowers were set up to my expectations. Leading up to the wedding and the day-of I had countless non-photography related questions that she answered with ease and eagerness. Such as, "Uhh what should I do with my engagement ring before the ceremony." She always had an answer for everything and made me feel at ease. Ashley was an incredible help during the planning process. Her checklists, event timeline, shot list, attention to detail and learning about what we wanted, etc. were beyond appreciated as I had enough to worry about. The recommendations for engagement session outfits, wedding day reminders and planning chats took the edge off of my nervousness. Ashley even worked directly with my florist to get flower pieces the night before my wedding so she would have them for my detail shots. Truly, everything she could take care of, she did so without missing a beat! My favorite part about working with her is she placed joy into every step of the planning and day-of experience and I'm beyond grateful she was a part of our vendor team!

From different personalities, different styles of photography, and so many different packages that offer keepsakes that you can't decide from. After meeting Ashley I knew instantly that she would be the perfect fit for us! She is the sweetest person, who truly makes you feel so comfortable and prepared right from the get go! The keepsakes you receive are absolutely STUNNING and completely different than what any other photographer has to offer, especially the wedding album that is SO elegant and unique! You also get to help design everything! All of her keepsakes will forever be displayed in my house, and are of the upmost quality! I had a very short and fast wedding day, and was constantly worried that we wouldn't be able to get everything done in our allotted time at our venue. Ashley's organization and confidence helped ease all of my worries! She keeps a timeline and has you edit it with all the different photo combinations with family members and their names and certain ailments to accommodate to make things run smoothly on the actual wedding day. My family was very pleased with how well she ran things, and kept things together so we could get things done in a timely fashion, and we were done ahead of time! Not to mention she goes above and beyond to do whatever it takes to make sure she captures your wedding day, even if it means slightly going out of her package description, which I really appreciate! I wouldn't think twice about booking with Ashley Schurch Photography, you won't be disappointed!

Not only is he a dj, he acts as sort of a coordinator. He plans the perfect timeline of events and keeps the night on track. He communicates with your other vendors so that everyone is on the same page. He knows exactly what to play to keep your guests dancing all night. He also provides a few extras. He did the lighting for our head table, and it looked amazing. One of my favorite touches that he adds to weddings, is a "last dance" for you and your spouse. It was just my husband and I there dancing at the end of our wedding to a song we picked, and it was one of the most special moments to us that day. I can't say enough about him and the service he provides.

I actually chose her 7 years before my wedding! My best friend's cousin had just gotten married and was showing us her wedding book - I decided that day that I just had to have Marcia. She did an amazing job and she's a great asset when you are wedding planning because she knows about the entire process, not just the photography. She's pricey, but don't let that deter you because she's worth every penny and more. When your wedding is all said and done, you will only have the pictures left and you might as well have the best ones you can!

I hired Lola Jo Photo Design to do our engagement and wedding photos. They are top of the line…read morephotographers. I picked them because I love the style of their photos and photobooks. They also have a terrific studio if you are getting photos taken in the dead of winter. As far as the production, the photographers at Lola Jo did not disappoint. I'm incredibly difficult to photograph. I feel uncomfortable in front of a camera, and I'm a notorious blinker, but Lois (my head photographer) was an excellent director and did well to ease my discomfort. The photos they delivered were stunning. However, because the Lola Jo photographers are so good, they are much in demand and don't really have time to coddle stressed out brides. I had a hard time getting in touch when I needed to confirm details, and the delivery of the engagement photos was over a month later than promised. To me, the end product was probably worth the added stress, but it's worth knowing the price ahead of time.
