    Being a photographer my self I was dreading the day I got married worrying about who I was going to trust to get the shots that I wanted and have the eye that I have for the details, planning my wedding I would think about how I wanted the picture to turn out and then work backwards to put together the details to make it happen. Finding the right photographer was exhausting. I searched for months and met with many photographers I had found online and were referred to by friends....and I was feeling very discouraged, until I stumbled across Ashley's website. I just loved the way she captured the raw emotion and steamy glances of the bride and groom, the way she was able to capture the perfect lighting...in every picture, and the passion she had for capturing moments. After meeting with Ashley I knew she was the one I could trust with the biggest day of my life. Most photographers that I met were very artsy minded but had no business sense for customer service. Ashley not only has the awesome creative flare that comes through in all her photographs but she is beyond professional and works with the customer in mind on every aspect. Ashley's prices were beyond fair and she was very flexible with our needs and attentive to us during the whole wedding planning process and even went out of her way to do little things to make us feel so special leading up to the wedding. On our wedding day Ashley was fabulous to work with, she was with me every minute I needed her and also was very sensitive to keeping us on schedule so our day went off with out a hitch. She may be small but she was able to command our entire 16 person wedding party and get the pictures we asked for all in the time allotted. She was a huge part of the planning process for the timeline and day of specifics and sent tons of tools and spent lots of time with us discussing and piecing together our special day. She even had the idea to sneak away during the reception for some sunset romantics around the venue with just me and my husband which turned out being the best idea to get some alone time with him after our wedding and the shots she got were stunning and we are so thankful for them! After the wedding she gave us sneak peaks while we were still on our honeymoon which was so wonderful because the entire night was such a blur that it was so good to look back on it. I was beyond excited to receive all of our photos and Ashley worked so hard to edit and get them to us very fast! I was so impressed! And every shot she took from getting ready to getting in the limo after was epic! There were some specific poses and moments that I remember during the wedding that weren't included in the lot that she gave us, but its totally understandable as she did end up giving us over a thousand edited beautiful and perfect pictures. When you are working with Ashley you have fun and can be your self. She has passion, a lust for life and a way about her that makes you feel instantly comfortable to be your self and know that every facet of your personality and inner beauty will also make it into her pictures because not only does she know what shes doing, but she also LOVES it and loves life which shines through in every picture. I can honestly say that I have gone through every photo she took at our wedding on a weekly basis since the wedding because she did such a beautiful job capturing the very essence of my husband and I and our wedding details that I get to go back re-live each moment as many times as I want! So thank you so much Ashley for everything you did for us, for truly delivering and for being such a positive person! Your reckless abandon for life is infectious :)

    Thanks Ashley I love my photos!

    Ashley I just want to thank you so much for documenting me! My photos came out absolutely amazing! Ashley Strong truly loves what she does. And when you love what you do you attract people to you. I had such a great time at the photo shoot that I think about it almost everyday! I want to do it again and again. I had even told Ashley when we were done that I could do this again the very next day. I was super comfortable the whole time. She made me laugh and I felt myself. I think thats very important when a photographer can make you feel that comfortable. I refer Ashley to all of my brides. She does such amazing work. When I get married.. best believe Ashley is doing my engagement shoot AND wedding!! Ashley I love you and Im so happy I can call you my friend!

    So this is long overdue. I was fortunate enough to have Ashley photograph my 1 year old son's baptism on Easter Sunday. The pictures are beyond beautiful, exceeded my expectations but captured what I was hoping she could. I really wanted some vibrant pictures as the church we held the baptism in has such rich, bold colors and paintings and she caught it all. I will definitely contact Ashley for our future photo needs. I highly recommend her and her sweet soul is infectious, you won't be disappointed!

    Engagement: Where do I even begin?!?! Ashley was referred to me by a mutual friend, I was given her blog info and I immediately was captivated by her work at that time most of her work. My husband and I were in the midst of possibly planning a destination wedding so we wanted to do our engagement photos as quickly as possible to send out save the dates. Therefore, I immediately contacted Ashley and just her presence over the phone- I knew she was the one for the job! She was so friendly, energetic and professional and she quickly became available, suggested locations and even recommended to set up a Pinterest board with our ideas. The day of the photos she and her assistant Lux were beyond early scoping the location and both were so full of great vibes! Ashley made us feel so comfortable, it was as we had known her for years! Her sense of humor and passion for what she does shined through every frame and we couldn't have been happier with the results of our engagement photos at the Walt Disney Concert Hall and LACMA. Wedding: With the results of our engagement photos we just knew we HAD to have Ashley photograph our special day. I reached out to Ashley while she was visiting her fiancé in Africa via email to discuss our plans of our destination wedding. We scheduled a call to discuss the arrangements and details and before we knew it she agreed ecstatically to do our photos. She willingly changed her flight to come back to states earlier and swiftly packed her bags/gear to head to Cancun, Mexico to arrive at the Dreams Sands Resort. As we arranged Ashley's flight, transportation and stay we were just so enthusiastic to have her share this wonderful experience with us. She arranged a timeline prior, which of course was such a breeze as she is amazingly coordinated and receptive to our ideas. The day had come and with nerves and all nine yards I knew in my heart I did not have to worry about my photos as her passion of captivating our love through her lenses is truly just-magical. She knew exactly what pictures, poses, details etc. to document- towards the end of the night we asked her to set her camera down and enjoy some dancing and cocktail drinks- as this was the best day ever and wanted her to enjoy some fun and memories with us. Still to this day we get numerous of wonderful compliments of the photographs of our momentous day. Trash the Dress: I'm not sure words are needed at this point as Ashley is truly talented and her work speaks on its own. Although, I had to convince my husband into this crazy idea of mine- I just knew we had to do this adventure the minute we decided to do a destination wedding in Cancun and as incredible as Ashley is she did not hesitate to agree. Our trash the dress session was nothing but over joyous laughter and fun as we posed in the Caribbean waters of Cancun. We planned to do this session the day after our wedding around sunset time to capture nothing but blissful moments. Ashley never seizes to amaze us with her results- nothing but radiant work. With that being said, look no further- She is beyond what you look in a photographer and is just simply remarkable. Ashley, I cannot express the gratitude I have of your photography and friendship.

    Ah, Ashley! I can't even begin to describe how great this beautiful young woman is. I decided that I needed some headshots for the new business I am starting, and I enlisted Ashley to do the job! Having not had pictures taken since high school, I was super nervous about what to wear and how to act. Ashley made me feel totally beautiful and comfortable. Her ability to make me laugh and breathe and just be myself was so comforting! She is truly so passionate about her profession and you can totally see this as she is working with you. Ashley, thank you so much for making this such a fun experience and for taking such great photos!

    So somehow I randomly stumbled upon Ashley Strong Photography in Google. I swear it was fate! I was trying to find a photographer that created beautiful family photos for our holiday Christmas card at an affordable price... Ashley did just that. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, friendly and accommodating! I would recommend her to any family or friends (which says a lot coming from me). You won't regret allowing her to capture a special family memory! I can guarantee it!

    Ashley photographed our wedding in May 2013 and we could not have asked for a better photographer. She is a caring, beautiful soul who found a way for us to have fun with those usual boring wedding shoots and the pictures came out better than we could ever have imagined. She is patient and funny and has an amazing eye for lights, lines, frames, and faces. She allowed for us to feel comfortable enough to really show our feelings for each other in our faces, making them genuinely perfect in every way. We feel so blessed to have had Ashley join us for our wedding and capture some of our happiest moments in such an eloquent way. Thank you thank you thank you, Ashley!

Not only were the photos amazing and captured our love perfectly, but she kept our timetable on point and was super helpful with keeping the day on track. She's super fun and sweet and overall just great to work with. When I look back at my wedding photos it reminds me of what a special day it was. She captured memories that my brain was too overwhelmed to register in the moment, that might've been lost forever if I didn't have the photographic evidence. I will cherish these photos forever

She captured our wedding perfectly, and set the mood and tone for the entire event. She was extremely professional and made it so easy to keep on a timeline so we didn't have to worry about anything that day.

She made the photo taking process so easy, even though my husband and I aren't big photo takers and is just a wonderful human who is so easy to work with. The next time we need any photos in the future I am definitely calling upon her. I'm at a loss for words for how happy I am with our photos, and just cannot recommend her enough.
