    Ashley is amazing!

    Ashley took her time to make sure we were comfortable, having fun, and felt included in making decisions for our shoot. We were absolutely THRILLED with the final result! We are both so glad we picked Ashley to be our wedding photographer.

    I’ve never been happier!

    Ashley is great! We just received our engagement photos and they are AMAZING! She did them in such a timely manner as well. Ashley made us feel comfortable and gave us great guidance! We could not be happier! I can not wait for her to do our wedding!

    Fantastic Experience & Memorable Photos

    Ashley was incredible to work with and extremely accommodating. She quickly considered our situation and was willing to work with our ever changing schedule. Very responsive and great communication! The pictures captured the meaningful moments and the memorable emotions!

    Memorable photos to last a life time!

    Ashley is not only an amazing photographer but also an amazing person. She captured our relationship perfectly in our engagement photos. Can't wait to work with her in the future for her to capture more of our memorable moments.

    Highly Recommend

    Working with Ashley was such an awesome experience. From working out the details of our first photo shoot to planning out our wedding day Ashley was more than accommodating. She offered great insight and captured so many beautiful moments. I honestly enjoyed connecting with her just as mush as I loved the photos she took which makes the memories even better.

    Ashley is amazing!!! She does a wonderful job of making you feel comfortable while capturing incredible and candid moments. She is very prompt with her responses and does an amazing job of posting sneak peek photos of both engagement sessions and the wedding day. She posted three photos from the wedding day just three days later! I have absolutely no regrets hiring Ashley and will choose her time and time again for future photo sessions. Thank you so much, Ashley!

    Ashley Cox Photos's reply:

    Brandi (and Ben)! Thank you so much. But really, I can't take the credit because you guys made my job so awesome! You're both so wonderful and absolutely perfect in every way. I'm thrilled that I have had the honor of not only working with you and Ben, but truly getting to know you two. I have the best job ever because if people like you two!

    Ashley has been amazing to work with so far! We have a longer time frame to work with in regards to wedding planning, but Ashley has treated us as if we are the only clients she has and has been incredibly flexible. If you have a chance to work with her, you are lucky, because she is very creative and friendly, which makes my special day that much more relaxing!

    Ashley Cox Photos's reply:

    Ciara! Thank you so very much. I can't wait to work with you for your engagement sessions and capture so much beauty for you guys on your wedding day. I appreciate the kindness more than you know!

    Wedding 5/20/17

    Ashley was absolutely amazing. We can't stop talking about how much we loved having her as our photographer. It was so easy to make a connection with her that it felt like she had known us for a long time. The "sneak peeks" we've seen so far are absolutely gorgeous. We are so excited to see the rest. Look no further, Ashley is the one you want to book if you want a personalized experience and amazing photos.

    Ashley is the best photographer I've ever met, bar none. Look no further if you're searching for a personal individual who captures those sweet moments you never thought could be bottled so perfectly. Ashley did our wedding, and she was so much fun and is absolutely exceptional at what she does. 10 stars out of 5, if we're gonna be real here.

    Ashley Cox Photos's reply:

    Taylor and Andrew, you two are just phenomenal people. As I sit here at my desk continuing to work on editing your photos, I'm constantly overwhelmed with how lucky I am to be able to get to know so many amazing people. Not just my couples! But their families, as well. I can't thank you enough for picking me to be your photographer!

    Ashley is your photographer only if you want someone sweet, fun, smart, professional, quick, and who takes amazing photos. My daughter's wedding was Sunday and Monday evening a sneak peek was already up online with the most AMAZING pictures. Ashley was fantastic and so calm, she made it a great day!

    Ashley Cox Photos's reply:

    Wow Mrs. Beisler! Thank you so much for your kind words. I was beyond thrilled to work with all of you. I truly meant it when I told you I was honored to have been able to be a part of something so perfect. I appreciate each and every one of you, from the bottom of my heart.

    We are in LOVE with our wedding pictures. Ashley has a true talent and a great eye for capturing the most special moments. She replies to your emails within hours- which is huge! She was so flexible and easy going throughout the process of coordinating our engagement pictures, planning our timeline for the wedding day, to doing some serious improvising when we got behind schedule the day of the wedding. She is so easy going, funny and sarcastic (which my husband loved). We will definitely be using Ashley for all of our special moments throughout the years. Thank you Ashley!

    Ashley Cox Photos's reply:

    Ashley (and Adam), this was one of the best emails to wake up to! Thank you so much. But I can't take credit. Your entire day... You and Adam. You guys are what made everything so amazing. I absolutely adore the two of you (as well as Oliver!) I even still have your thank you note proudly hanging on my refrigerator! You're one of my favorite 2016 couples. Stay in touch!

    If you are looking for someone who is flexible and is committed to getting the perfect shot for what you're looking for, she is your go to person. She analyzes who she is working with to make them feel comfortable and gather the best ideas for them. She was very professional and was open to any ideas we had as well. We went to two different locations, which were very far apart, to capture the perfect moments. She was also very fun and made us laugh throughout! The quality of the pictures were amazing!

    My wife Sara and I found Ashley on Instagram by searching for #columbusweddingphhotographers. All of Ashley's work came up with #ashleycoxphotos. We live near Cleveland and the wedding was up that way as well and she traveled to us to help capture our memories. Obviously Ashley Cox Photos is LGBT friendly and treated Sara and I with the utmost respect and dignity- Which is huge in today's world! The quality of all of our photos and prints is stunning! I loved all of her ideas and how Ashley really paid attention to every single little detail. She helped make our wedding memories and we couldn't be more thankful!

    Ashley Cox Photos's reply:

    Gina... Okay, so let me start off by saying that you and Sara should never be treated any less than anyone else. At least thats my view. You, Sara, your friends, and families were a BLAST to work with. Your greenhouse venue was breathtaking, and the love I felt radiating rom every single image I culled, processed, and sent is contagious. LOVE everything we got! Take care and keep in touch!

    Wow! We felt so at ease with Ashley from the first time we met her. She was able to really grasp who we are as individuals and as a couple! She even put up with our extreme nerdiness. We absolutely love all of our photos from both our engagement session as well as our wedding day. Thank you, Ashley!

    Ashley Cox Photos's reply:

    Ahh! Thank you so much, Jenn. I was honored to work with your quirk! Everything was just PERFECT on your day. Huge thanks to you, Brian, and both of your incredible families! I love you all!

    My husband and I had everything set for our wedding. Venue, flowers, dress... But not the photographer. Knowing we wanted gorgeous pictures so we could remember our day, we really wanted Ashley to be our photography her but she was already booked. She recommended a few names of photographers she trusted and promised that if our fate had opened up she would immediately tell us. So even though we were disappointed we could have her, we went ahead and met with one of the people on her recommendation list. Before we had made our decision our date opened in Ashley's book! To make a long story short, I am so happy we waited for her. No one could have done a better job at capturing every little bit... Every the smallest details. We ended up buying some crazy amount of prints through her as well as a few canvases. Quality is top notch! What's better is that she's a real person. She takes her time getting to know her clients, laughs with us and really makes us feel comfortable. She's focused on producing art. And that's what she delivered. I've recommended Ashley to all of MY brides and friends... I work for a florist.

    Ashley Cox Photos's reply:

    Michelle! I am also so thrilled I had the honor of working with you on your wedding day. We were obviously meant to work together and it shows in your images. Wish you and Jacob the absolute best. Keep in touch!

    My husband and I hired Ashley Cox Photos for our February 2015 wedding as she photographed our daughters family for quite some time. She was fairly priced and even stayed an hour longer than our contracted agreement as things went a little slower than anticipated. All on a cold and very, very snowy night!

    Ashley Cox Photos's reply:

    I know it says you're a private user, but I know I only had one wedding that February! So...

    It was absolutely my pleasure! Before your wedding, I had never seen a Scottish ceremony so it was really fun for me. I also stayed late because I know first hand that not every wedding or event goes exactly as planned. I'm happy I was able to help out, so thank you so much for allowing me the honor of photographing your incredible day!

    Ashley is incredibly intuitive and personable! I'm not sure how she managed to capture everything on her own but she really did a great job. I love the quality of all of our engagement and wedding photos! I also had a boudoir session in her studio and I'm amazed at how she made me in to a work of art. Stunning! My only complaint would be that she does take a little while to get the images back to you, but then again... It's quality work. And a lot of images!!! We'll be using Ashley as our family photographer as well once we start a family.

    Ashley Cox Photos's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Vallerie! You and Mark were so fun to work with. Not to mention your wedding was gorgeous! I look forward to many more sessions with you. I'm thrilled to be named as your family photographer!

    Ashley always manages to capture the perfect shot. We have worked with her multiple times and she gives us the family pictures that we hope for and cherish. We couldn't imagine using anyone else!

    Ashley Cox Photos's reply:

    You are too sweet, Lauren. I appreciate you all so much! It's so amazing to see your family change over the years from your wedding to Lily's birthdays. You're all so great!

    Ashley's pictures were AMAZING. I come from a family of photographers, and we were blown away by the quality and composition of every picture. Ashley was very flexible with the types of pictures we wanted to take and where we wanted to take him. She took our visions for the wedding pictures and made them much better than I could have imagined. I would highly recommend Ashley. Her pictures were phenomenal, she's great to work with, and she's very affordable.

    Ashley Cox Photos's reply:

    Wow, Lija... Thank you so much. You and Brian are such great people. And your whole family was just awesome! While photographing your wedding, I could feel such genuine warmth from all of you. It was an honor to get to know you both and to photograph your amazing wedding!

    Wow! What a gem! Ashley not only took the time to get to know us but she listened to everything we wanted. And she delivered! The pictures are perfect and represent us and are not like some of those cookie cutter wedding shots! She was professional, courteous, and a pleasure to work with! She was extremely reasonable in price and the quality of the pictures is amazing! Ashley Cox Photography is a vendor you will treasure! You should also try her boudoir sessions! They are great for a gift for your fiance/husband and she really sets you at ease! Love her!

    Ashley Cox Photos's reply:

    Jennifer, I remember looking at your pictures as I was editing and just smiling the entire time. I couldn't have asked for a better couple to have the honor of photographing. Of course we won't forget to mention how beautiful your boudoir session turned out! You and Justin are truly great people. Thank you so much for letting me be the one to photograph your day.

    Disappointed with the final outcome

    Unfortunately I have to update my previous review from our 10/17/2020 wedding. First I would like to say I think Ashley is talented and she responded very quickly every time I reached out to her, even after the wedding. But after receiving our photos we were disappointed with the outcome on some of them. The biggest disappointment came with the reception photos. We paid to have a 2nd photographer for the day and we can’t use most of the ones she took at the reception because they are so overexposed and blown out. Ashley did get some good ones but when it came to the speeches and cake cutting she took them from a side angle that you can’t really see people’s faces or reactions. The 2nd photographer did take photos at a better angle but again we can’t really use them.
    We didn’t receive any photos of us walking out of the ceremony or into the reception and when I asked her about them she said that they didn’t turn out. I understand things happen sometimes but those are important moments to capture and I feel like someone who’s been doing this for 10 years should have been better prepared to get those shots.
    We also provided a very detailed list of photos we were wanting before and after wedding. I was able to remember most of what we was wanting but obviously I have a lot going on that I couldn’t remember everything and it didn’t seem like she was keeping up on it because there were important photos missed. Again I realize that there was a lot going on but the point of giving her the list was to make sure, between us, nothing was missed.
    Lastly some of the groom and groomsmen photos didn’t turn out great because the groom is squinting in half of them because of it being bright outside and she had them facing the sun.
    As previously stated I do think Ashley is talented and I really like her editing style but we was quite disappointed with the end result considering what we paid and what we got.

    Ashley Cox Photos's reply:

    Thank you so much, Sarah! I can’t wait for you to see what we got as a TEAM. I couldn’t do it without you and Jordan!

    Disappointed Bride

    I was pretty disappointed with our entire experience with Ashley. As soon as I paid the deposit, she stopped responding to emails until about a month before the wedding. I emailed multiple times with important questions, like if I needed a permit for our photo location. She was on time for our wedding, and that is one of the few positive things I can say after being scared she would completely ghost us. She left the wedding without letting anyone know she was going and I am not sure if she actually stayed the entire contracted time. We never received a sneak preview of photos, like many other wedding photographers offer, in fact we received no communication until an Instagram post was made by Ashley promising our photos on August 16th (our wedding was June 22). When that date rolled around, I reached out to Ashley via email to let her know my husband's grandmother had been admitted to the hospital that morning with hours to days to live, and requested at a minimum, to have a few photos to show her before her imminent death. Ashley never responded to this email. My husband's grandmother passed away about a week later, having never seen our wedding photos after being unable to attend due to her health. I left comments on Ashley's Instagram photo, via DM, and finally received a response from a Facebook message that her computer broke but luckily the files were backed up and I should get my photos by the end of the week. Three weeks later, I finally received a link to view and download my photos. I was days away from filing in small claims, as she was about to run out the contractually allotted time to return photos (8-12 weeks in the document I signed). The quality of photos is average, it is clear Ashley is a relatively inexperienced photographer still getting a foothold in the wedding world. While there were a couple shots we love, we are overall disappointed with both the quantity and quality of the photography and editing. We only received 230 photos after hiring her for seven hours of shooting, and industry standard is generally around 400-600 photos. So we do feel a little ripped off by what we received, considering we paid nearly $2000. I question Ashley's experience with Photoshop and Lightroom, since a lot of the editing was very obvious, including the tell-tale "halos" that appear around people when highlights and shadows are over-adjusted. The quality of photographs that we received is nowhere near the quality displayed in her portfolio, causing me to think that sometimes she simply gets lucky with the shot. Overall, I am convinced there is much better value for the money, and combined with the lack of communication, I would strongly recommend that other couples avoid using Ashley for photography if you can in any way avoid it. If you must use her, do not have high hopes for the output. It's water under the bridge now and cannot be undone, but hiring Ashley is one of the only regrets I have from my wedding day.

    Ashley Cox Photos's reply:

    Hi Robin,

    It was great to work with you and your families on your wonderful day.

    I’m sorry you feel the way you do about your wedding photos and your experience.

    Unfortunately I’m unable to make every single client happy, and being that you’re the first one out of about 200 weddings, I’m okay with that.

    I’m posting the link to your wedding photos so everyone can see the quality of my work on your wedding.

    And the link to all of my other galleries for a range of the rest of my work: https://ashleycoxphotos.pixieset.com

    I can assure everyone who reads this that I worked completely within the parameters of our contract.

    I wish you the best of all of your days ahead and I’m very glad to have had the honor of working with you.

    Ashley
