    Ashley is amazing!

    Ashley, with Broad River Photography photographed my daughter’s wedding and I have nothing but the greatest things to say about her! She was exceptionally easy to work with from the time of booking, throughout the 10 months of planning, all the way to receiving our pictures. There was never a question she couldn’t answer even when it didn’t pertain to photography. She is very knowledgeable in any and all things wedding related. Ashley went out of her way to help my daughter and myself on many occasions throughout the planning process. Since Ashley has so much experience in this field, she was able to give us many great references for other needed vendors. On the day of the wedding, she was there with us all day, capturing every special moment of us getting ready. Ashley has the most fun energy and helped keep us smiling all day. She has a way of making her brides feel like the most beautiful person in the world. Ashley was a huge part of why this day that my daughter and I have dreamed of for years was so special. I can not say enough about how the pictures turned out. She did a phenomenal job! No detail was left out! Ashley caught every tear, every smile & laugh of the day. Looking at the pictures is like watching a movie of our special day and I am eternally thankful for her. In my opinion, there’s not another in the world of photography that compares to her.

    Ashley is the BEST!

    We chose Ashley as our photographer and we are SO glad we did! Ashley was extremely professional and very responsive. Any time we had questions or changed our minds about the timeline, she was very understanding! From working with her to our engagement pictures, my bridals, and our wedding day, she always went above and beyond to make our sessions with her everything we wanted and more!

    More than beautiful pictures

    Ashley has all the skills and gifts that make an amazing wedding photographer: she’s well-organized, great at time management, and prepared for anything. We had a tight schedule and sometimes had to work with difficult backgrounds, but Ashley didn’t just make it work—she made it look perfect and unhurried. Her bubbly and high-energy personality put everyone at ease, and made it comfortable for us to be ourselves. She gave clear directions without being too pushy or taking away from the moment, and has no trouble directing traffic.

    But what makes Ashley a cut above other amazing photographers is her heart for what she does. Photography is about more than beautiful images for Ashley—it’s about the capturing moments where we can see love with our eyes. Her intuition and attention to detail led her to catch so many beautiful "moments in between" that could have easily slipped by in the rush. We’re so thankful that she was our photographer and highly recommend her.

    TL;DR: Ashley’s intuition and practical skills combine to make her a phenomenal wedding photographer. Easiest decision of your planning process: Hire her!

    A photographer was something that was super important to my husband and me when planning our wedding. Ashley was nothing short of amazing and everything we wanted. I could not recommend Broad River Photography any more!

    100000000/10

    Ashley was the most amazing photographer. I knew from our first phone call that she would make our day absolutely perfect and she did just that. She will be your biggest hype woman throughout the entire process, not to mention how talented she is! Both our engagement and wedding photos turned out better than I could imagine, and on top of that, she had them to us SO fast. I am already looking for the next excuse to get photos taken with her again. I could go on and on but Ashley is the full package. Look no further for your dream photographer.

    Absolutely amazing

    Ashley was the absolute best photographer I could ever hope for. She is so talented. She captured the pictures that were in the moment instead of just posed pictures. She was also my number one hype girl. She made me feel absolutely gorgeous and was so much fun to work with. I will never use another photographer for anything.

    Absolutely amazing, 10 out of 10 could not have asked for anyone better.

    Not only is Ashley an amazing photographer, but she generally cares about all of her clients. She thinks about every little detail and has the amazing ability to capture all the emotions of the day. I couldn't recommend her enough and she takes so much stress off of her clients as well, and does so much work to ensure you received it beautiful images.

    The best photographer EVER

    There are so many good things I could say about Ashley and her amazing work. She was so organized and accommodating. We talked multiple times about how I wanted wedding day to run, the pictures I most wanted and every little detail in-between. She even sent me a planner to ensure she captured all the pictures I wanted and with the guests/family I wanted. This made wedding day smooth and when I received the pictures back, all the moments were captures. She was amazing coordinating group shots, family pictures and first looks. Through the chaos of wedding day, she was calm and kept our timeline on track. Her pictures speak for themselves. They are breathtaking. Guests throughout the day came up to me to commend Ashely on how well she was doing and told me how excited they were to see the pictures she took. I am so blessed that Ashley photographed our wedding and recommend her to everyone. My husband and I are planning on taking 1 year anniversary pictures, and we already know who we are going to schedule our session with. She is AMAZING.

    The absolute best

    I first met Ashley at my best friend's wedding where I was the Maid of Honor and I immediately fell in love. She is so professional and fun! She will make you feel like a million bucks!

    Once I got engaged, Ashley was the first vendor I booked! Ashley took my engagement photos, my bridal photos, and then my wedding. My husband and I are so awkward during photos but somehow Ashley channeled our inner models and my oh my our photos are flawless!

    The best wedding photographer we could’ve asked for!

    Ashley did a phenomenal job as our photographer for both our wedding and engagement session! My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to document our wedding day. Not only is she the sweetest human being you will ever meet, but her photos are so beautiful and timeless. Ashley and her assistant, Taylor, did a fantastic job getting the family and bridal party together for photos and making sure we stayed close to our wedding day timeline. Ashley was so helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process and did a great job of making sure she captured all of the special moments on our wedding day. I can’t say enough good things about her… she’s the best!!

    Picture Perfect

    Ashley is the BEST, so fun to work with and makes you feel so comfortable and like a movie star!! She is your biggest cheerleader behind the camera and makes you laugh constantly. I first saw her at work at my best friend’s wedding and instantly knew that I wanted her to be the photographer of my wedding! She is so personable and has the knowledge and resources that made my dreams come true! Looking back through my wedding pictures, I feel like I’m reliving my wedding all over again and I’m obsessed!!!

    Amazing experience!

    Ashley had no idea what she was getting herself into by agreeing to be my daughter’s wedding photographer! During the engagement photo session someone busted out her car window and stole her purse and cell phone. Then my daughter’s wedding was scheduled for 5/30/2020 but Covid had other plans. Ashley was so determined to make Miranda’s wedding experience as normal as possible under the circumstances. She located a very unique and beautiful location for her bridal portraits right in the middle of the shut down! Then when we were forced to reschedule the wedding to a later date on a Friday night Ashley didn’t think twice about it and shifted her schedule to capture the event perfectly! Ashley is the most professional and personable photographer I have ever dealt with. She was so easy to work with and made the photo sessions enjoyable, capturing every tiny detail perfectly. Thank you, Ashley!

    Dream Photographer!

    Ashley is an absolute dream to work with! We are obsessed with both our engagement and wedding photographs; they're absolutely stunning. She was completely flexible with our engagement shoot location and even worked our dogs into some of our photos! She made our wedding day effortless and we'll be cherishing these photos for years to come. She's a true talent and made two unphotogenic people look amazing. We can't recommend her enough!

    The best of the best

    The best of the best, one of a kind, enthusiastic, talented, personable, and just straight up amazing are only a handful of ways I would describe Ashley at Broad River Photography. Ashley went out of her way to make our wedding day the most magical day of our lives. She wasn’t just a photographer, but quickly felt like a friend who was a part of our wedding party. Fixing my dress, leading us through every part of our day, and encouraging us every step of the way are just a few things that she was able of do for us on our wedding day. She truly made every photo opportunity and extension of our day feel comfortable, natural, and personable. She was never in the way and made sure that we enjoyed every second of our day. There were no awkward, quiet photo moments as she is bubbly and truly a HOOT. Ashley embraced our crazy ideas and always found a way to make our dreams come true. We will forever use Broad River Photography to capture every life moment.

From the start of the day to the end, it felt like Ashley was just one of us girls, she is such a joy to have around. Her energy and positivity is contagious!

    Absolutely AMAZING!!

    I can’t say enough good things about Ashley. She is absolutely amazing and I will look for any reason to work with her again. Her energy is infectious and you can’t help but feel excited and giddy while working with her. We had multiple guests comment on how much fun she was! She is extremely easy to get in touch with and responses almost immediately. Her pictures are to DIE FOR! They captured the story of our day perfectly. Little details we want to remember are captured beautifully in her pictures. She is incredible!!!!
