Portrait of the photographer in halifax

Hi, I’m Ashley

Based out of Halifax Nova Scotia, I have over 15 years experience traveling the world photographing ‘love’. Whether you’re quirky, quiet, loud, or serious, I want to photograph people of all backgrounds and personalities. It’s safe to say I am passionate about what I do and I have a lot of confidence doing it!

I specialize in wedding photography here in Nova Scotia. I also shoot elopements and destination weddings of all sizes.

My Photography Style

My work has been described as vibrant, clean, dramatic. A natural born storyteller, I balance my documentary style with directed portraits. Basically, you get it all! I love being at the center of your day not only capturing ridiculously amazing photos but at the same time making sure you REALLY enjoy it. So, let’s chat and visualize the best day of your life.

“She so naturally leans towards the chiaroscuro lighting of the old masters like Caravaggio or Rembrandt. I love that look of old world classy with a touch of drama, that she creates. Hard to find these days.”

-Marque Sondergaard

  • bride hugging groom from behind his back and looking into the camera

    We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Ashley. She took the time to meet with us a few times before signing the contract so that we could get to know one another. Her energy and attitude was amazing every single time and you can really see that she loves what she does. It felt like we had known her and were good friends from the first meeting!

    She is the ultimate professional, manages expectations, is honest, kind, the best hype girl, listens, and works WITH you to capture moments that you can feel through her photos. Her pictures were natural and authentic, and the love of the day will live on through her work.

F.A.Q.

  • Typically couples start looking for their wedding photographer 1 year in advance

  • I absolutely do have that as an add-on! A 2nd shooter is $120/hour

  • The retainer which is $1500 is due upon signing and the final amount is due 30 days before your wedding day

  • I’m proud to say in my 15+ years I’ve never cancelled! Should this change, I will do my best to secure an equally amazing photographer. Even if that means flying them in for your day

  • In the contract I state up to 90 days but I do my very best to get you your photos sooner!

  • Nope! Every photo is chosen and edited by me.

  • Absolutely! I’d be happy to share.
