About this vendor
With a true affinity for love and beautiful imagery, I am committed to capturing the best moments in life. My goal is to create photographs that when you're looking back, they will still resonate as loudly as the first time you saw them. Let's take you back to your beautiful wedding day and how it made you feel. I will be there to capture it all.
If you choose me for your wedding day, know that you are hiring a friend. I will help make your wedding day just as wonderful as you envision. It is important that I get to know you and what is the most important to you. From there, we will create photographs that are uniquely yours.
To simply photograph the love that surrounds us is my truest goal. Enjoy a pop of color, a bit of sarcasm, and a lot of laughter. I'm your girl & I got your back.

Better then we could have ever imagined
So very thankful and pleased
Ashley has been amazing to work with! She has been so accommodating with our postponed wedding (twice now) and checked in with us regularly during the start of the pandemic. She ...
captured some amazing shots of my fiancé and I at our engagement shoot. We had never taken photos like this before and were a little awkward, had no idea how to pose. Ashley gave us the guidance we were looking for and made us both feel so comfortable. We can't wait to see the work she does at our wedding next year!
Ashley Lynn Richards is an amazing photographer. She was very professional and empathetic in her pre-wedding coordination meetings/discussions. The engagement photos were a great...
introduction to her method and style of photography. She helped us clarify the specific moments of the wedding and people in attendance that we wanted to be captured. For the wedding, Ashely and her assistant were attentive to each and every special moment. She captured those memories with her artistic eye. Finally, she was very prompt with editing and delivery of final goods. We were very pleased.
We love Ashley! Not only did she make 2 very awkward posers look incredibly comfortable. She also produced my favorite picture ever of my Fiancé.
Ashley has been by far one of the best vendors I have worked with for our wedding. She is easy to work with and responds to my thousands of questions quickly. She made us feel so c...
omfortable during our engagement session and you could see it come through in our pictures. She is willing to do whatever you want. And when you don’t know what you want she easily steps in with ideas without making you feel like she’s taken over. When our wedding plans had to drastically change she was with us every step of the way and willing to do whatever we needed. She was able to do a small session for our intimate family only wedding and still made it feel like it was a special day. I’m so glad we decided to have her there for our backyard wedding and capture those special moments. Not only did the pictures turn out beautifully, but she got them back to us quickly. I can’t wait to have her photograph our big celebration next year. She’s quickly become our family photographer. Also, she sends you cute little notes in the mail.
My partner and I hired Ashley to take our sixth year dating anniversary pictures and I was blown away not only by her work, but her professionalism as well. Our shoot was in the m...
iddle of the COVID-19 pandemic and she did everything to make sure we felt safe and comfortable. My partner is a photographer as well and I know he's not used to being in front of a camera, but Ashley was able to bring out and capture everything I love and see in him. The photos she captured are gorgeous, creative, and have her unique touch. I follow her work on Instagram and I've always loved her style, so I was elated to finally be in front of her camera. She is wonderful and not hiring her would be a mistake!
So glad we found Ashley to take some engagement pictures while in California!
Ashley was wonderful! We had an amazing engagement shoot by the beach and she took the most beautiful photos. She even sent the photos back very quickly. Thank you Ashley!

Very professional and i just love her style of photography. Ashley didn't disappoint at all!! <3
We are so happy that a friend recommended Ashley as our wedding photographer. She was punctual and professional but most importantly she was fun. She kept everyone smiling even dur...
ing the last minute stresses of the wedding. She made sure to get the shots which checked all the required boxes (bridal party, groomsman, Grandmas etc) but our favorites were the candid photos which really captured our love and the magic of the day.

She worked with everyone to get the shot list right, and discover who was who. She arrived to the venue to scope it out as she hadn’t shot there before, and then put everyone at ease while taking portraits. She kept to a timeline as well, using her time so wisely to capture both details, other guests, and candids! One thing in particular I loved was that she honored all the silly and fun that the wedding exuded. Funny posed shots, the kids running around during dancing, mom mid-groove - all came across in really amazing photos. Which, as we all know, are an investment that lasts FOREVER, unlike a lot of the rest of a wedding! Ashley is completely and totally worth the investment. I can’t recommend her enough.
Super amazing and professional! Everyone we know uses her for their events!
Our wedding was very personal and small, and didn’t really know or care about a shot list. Ashley reall...

navigate and ordering extra prints was super easy. I would 12/10 recommend.
My fiancé and I contacted Ashley two weeks before our trip to the West Coast for a last minute engagement session at a beach. She graciously accommodated us and recommended a beaut...
iful place for the session. I appreciated how well she communicated with us via email and text since we were coming from Detroit.
This is our first professional photoshoot and my fiancé is very awkward in front of the camera but Ashley made the shoot very fun and laidback with her cheerful and friendly personality! Our photos were so beautiful, she was able to capture the best version of us! She made my beach engagement session come true. With her amazing talent and awesome personality, we definitely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

d we had. When taking pictures we can be shy and awkward but Ashley made us feel relaxed and not at all odd when doing our engagement and wedding shoots. Day of Ashley was very helpful and kept us on our schedule so we were able to take as many pictures as we could and were also able to enjoy our day. We loved our pictures they came out amazing!!! We will be hiring Ashley for our big events in the near future.

My wife was over the moon about the images that we received, and Ashley could no have been more gracious with her time and expertise. I would highly recommend her.
