We engaged Ashley to take pictures at the Chicago Botanic Gardens of a family of over 20 people. She managed the whole affair prepping everyone to be their most photogenic and explaining the different poses. She moved us around the gardens to take advantage of different lighting and different spaces for the various family pictures. She was patient and took her time to make the small changes in our poses that made a big difference in the final pictures. We would use Ashley again and highly recommend her as the photographer for your family event.
Ashley was absolutely amazing. She is a critical part of what made our wedding day seamless and so special. Prior to the meeting we talked with Ashley three different times. She did all her homework on our venue and took all the information for our other vendors so she could connect with them. The day of the wedding she kept us moving and did such a great job at keeping us calm (we both tend to overstress during big moments). We did a first look, and both Ashley and her partner had a game plan for some amazing shots!! During the wedding she kept up with us and made sure we were enjoying our day. She was never far from us in case we needed a photo. There was one point the bride said “oh we should get a picture when the photographer is done eating” and Ashley was by our side in a second as she had heard us from several tables away and darted to our sides! Ashley felt more like a guest at our wedding than a vendor -- she was so much fun and did such a great job. All the photos were more than we could have hoped for. We have been reliving the day by going through them all.
