Loving human connection and being a part of each story propels my photography engine. I’m not just taking your photo. There is an energy, a creative approach felt in each frame. It’s your love story but it’s made possible by my sincere desire to give you the most important keepsake. Your memories. Really, my style is you. And I’m so happy you’re here.

Check out my favourite images:

From the moment Ashley greeted me on our initial phone call, I knew she was the right fit for my wedding day. She is full of energy, charm, professionalism. Her work is a true reflection of her big beautiful heart. I fell in love with her style of photography, and once we spoke, I knew she was the one to capture mine and Mathieu's wedding day.

A good photographer knows how to take a photo. A great photographer can sense the moments before they unfold. They capture not just pictures but the very essence of your story.

I am not afraid of unconventional wedding photos. Why be boring?

Timeline master. I stick to the schedule so you don’t have to even think about it.

Ashley was an absolute delight to work with. She made us feel comfortable and let us be ourselves while capturing the most elegant images. Her ability to play with natural features and scope out the best shot is top-tier. Her abilty to adapt and over come when weather blew away our original plans was seamless. We are extremely happy with the images from our wedding day as well as the whole experience with Ashley.

Her ability to find the perfect shot, even in the midst of the joyful madness, is nothing short of incredible. Every single photo tells a story, and the way she was able to capture the raw emotions of the day leaves us speechless every time we look at them. What makes Ashley even more special is that she felt like so much more than just a photographer. By the end of the day, she had truly become part of our family. We’ve even invited her and her husband to come stay at our family home in Newfoundland! It’s so rare to not only find someone who is exceptional at their craft but also to walk away feeling like you’ve made a new friend.

The groom wears a blue suit with a white shirt, red tie, and boutonniere. Guests are in the background, with string lights hanging overhead.

Ashley was so incredible to work with. She made us feel so comfortable and cared for and listened to. Not only that, her work is fantastic. We just received our photos and they are everything we hoped for and more. I would highly recommend working with her if you get the chance. You won’t leave without feeling like you’ve gained a friend.
