get to know me!
Hi, I'm Ashley. A destination wedding photographer here at Riviera Maya, Mexico. Growing up reading National Geographic Magazines I quickly became enthusiastic about different cultures and beautiful story telling photos. I decided to study Cultural Anthropology at Florida State University where my passion for taking photos developed as I worked at the school newspaper. As I studied a year abroad in Spain, I quickly immersed myself in the culture, learned the language and kept practicing my photography skills throughout travel and experience. After school I moved to Mexico with my high school boyfriend (yep, high school sweethearts) when I soon became fascinated in storytelling with Wedding Photography. It is such rewarding work to create life lasting memories for my clients to look back on throughout the years.

The most beautiful discovery I have made since calling myself a professional destination wedding photographer is the ability to really see people without knowing them.
A wedding day blows by and I spend A LOT of this time with the couple…and I am able to really vibe and get a feel for who these beautiful people are through my camera lens!
My brides and grooms inspire me to constantly keep going, keep learning, provide the best client experience, the best photos, and overall be my client’s favorite wedding photographer.
1.
The number one thing that makes me excited to shoot is the positive energy I feel on a wedding day. Everyone is in such a good mood, everyone is there to CELEBRATE LOVE and its something I believe in more than anything. I love to constantly see couples dedicate themselves to each other for the rest of their lives, it is such an amazing moment to witness and it never gets old! I honestly still get tears in my eyes at every wedding.
2.
A unique aspect of my style is that I am very fast. I know my brides and grooms want amazing photos, but they also want to spend this day with their loved ones and don’t want to spend 3 hours alone taking photos. So I make sure we get the most beautiful photos we can, and quickly. I arrive early to scout out the best locations and discuss with my clients before hand to make sure they are agreeable to the plan. After all, it is their wedding day.

It’s so important for my clients to realize it’s ok not to “know how to pose” or feel comfortable behind the camera. Actually I know exactly how this feels, even though I am a destination wedding photographer, it's totally the same for me. I try and create situations where we are having fun and for my clients to show their emotions and love for each other so I am able to capture those aspects on camera…

When I am not working I am raising two beautiful babies with my husband of 10 years. We love to hang out on the beach, play in the water, and surf. Having such a long-lasting relationship with my husband (highschool sweethearts) really helps me as a wedding photographer! I am a pro not only with a camera but in recognizing the beauty and work it takes to love. This is why I absolutely love my work and love meeting new couples.
