About
Hi, I'm Ash! I’ve been doing wedding and portrait photography since 2020, and I’m all about capturing the moments that make your heart swell — the real, unscripted, never‑happens‑twice ones that end up meaning so much. I bring joy, warmth, and genuine connection to every shoot, so your photos feel like you — not stiff, not posed, just beautifully authentic.
I’m here to make the whole experience feel easy, fun, and actually enjoyable — like you’re working with a friend who knows how to find the magic in every laugh, glance, and happy tear. I love helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera so your images reflect your true self.
At the end of the day, I don’t just take pictures — I freeze those tiny moments you’ll want to look back on forever. That’s what makes what I do so special, and why I’d love to be the one who captures your story.

Choosing Ashley as my photographer for my wedding has been one of the best decisions I ever made! I found her through Instagram and immediately fell in love with her aesthetic and her passion for capturing the love from her clients. Even though I chose her as my photographer, she was more than that: A friend, a supporter, a pep-talker, an event planner, a therapist, and a party person!Upon inquiring Ashley about her packages, she replied back with welcoming arms and genuine kindness. She answered my long list of questions, as a bride-to-be would have; and she answered honestly and reasonable! Honestly, there was no hesitation for me to choose her as my photographer; I knew I can trust Ashley.Ashley captured our engagement photos. I told her I was looking for a whimsical, golden hour look and when she showed me the photos of that day, my jaw dropped. The photos she captured were absolutely beautiful and better than I was expecting! Her vision was on point and she DELIVERED!During our phone call meetings about the wedding, Ashley had that genuine urge to help as much as she can and I was truly grateful. I didnt know where to start and Ashley was on top of everything. She made a detailed timeline (and it was only the draft!) and did a run down of what would be best at a certain time during the reception; she even made sure that the events I have mentioned were in there as well. Ashley was on top of it! She has brought down so much stress off my shoulders and I am so appreciative of her even after the wedding.On the morning of my wedding, Ashley came in to greet me and gave me the warmest hug. I was so nervous, but her gentle aura helped me calm down. She went down the timeline and gotten everything set and ready. Although my wedding had a few hiccups on our end, Ashley made sure that we were comfortable and enjoying every bit of spontaneity. Her actions and words were so encouraging. My husband and I were (and still are) so blessed to have her by our side throughout the day.Once Ashley delivered our photos to us, I cried happy tears. Ashley is the queen of candid photos. She made sure that each photo had a story behind it. She captured photos of my husband and Is love for one another, the sweet moment of my first look with my dad and brothers, capturing our groomsmen and bridesmaids personalities, our sweet grandmas leaving a voicemail for us, our guests having a blast on the dance floor, our cute send off, taking photos of how magical that night was. We are completely satisfied.If you are a bride/groom-to-be and are looking for a photographer please choose Ashley Elena Photography. I promise you that choosing Ashley will be one of the best decisions you will make. You will not be disappointed.Ashley, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for the hard work you have done for us. We thank God for you and your help. We will definitely contact you in the future for more portraits; and possibly grab some coffee!! Good luck, and take care!

We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer than Ashley! She is organized, professional, and such a pleasure to work with both leading up to the wedding and on our wedding day. Ashley made us and our families and bridal party feel so comfortable and calm in front of the camera while also reminding us to have fun and soak in every moment. She did such a great job of keeping everyone on track and being efficient in getting pictures done without anyone feeling rushed or stressed. She even joined us on the dance floor and was so much fun! Not to mention, her work is truly so beautiful. Her clean and natural editing style gave us such beautiful and timeless pictures that we will cherish forever. We are so grateful for Ashley and her work and could not recommend her enough!!

Ashley was a blessing to our wedding day. Her work is incredible, but her heart behind her work is even more beautiful! Having someone alongside us during our wedding day that was so kind and fun made it all the more better. She also was a huge help in the wedding planning process, giving us great guidance and tips for planning. We could not recommend her enough!

We loved having Ashley as our photographer! She took our engagement and wedding photos and I go back and look at them all the time! She was great to work with, made us feel so comfortable, communicated quickly and clearly, and she was a calming presence on our wedding day. I'm so grateful for her encouragement and ideas and I'm IN LOVE with how everything turned out. I don't regret any penny!
