For planners who run a tight weekend (and want photos to match).

Hi, I’m Ashley—your timeline-protecting photo partner.

You’re managing logistics, personalities, pacing, and expectations—while making it all feel effortless. My job is to make photography the easy part.

I guide couples with simple prompts (no awkward posing panic), move portraits efficiently, and stay flexible when real life happens—so the day still feels smooth and the photos still look expensive.

Clean, true-to-life color. Fast, flattering portraits that don’t steal cocktail hour—so your couple stays present and your timeline stays intact. I work like part of your team: proactive, low-ego, and quietly in control when the day gets loud.

Photographing Palm Springs + Las Vegas weddings since 2013 • 400+ weddings • BFA, ArtCenter College of Design • Average reply time 24–48 hours.

What you can count on

No chaos. No ego. No “just five more minutes” that turns into twenty.

  • Portraits that don’t hijack the day. I work fast, direct, and flattering—built around your timeline and the best available light.

  • Couples who feel confident fast. Clear guidance the whole time, so they look natural and polished.

  • Desert-light competence. Palm Springs sun can be gorgeous and unhinged—I plan for it and keep everyone looking good.

  • Vendor-friendly coverage. Details photographed early, reception documented cleanly, and real candids that show the vibe you designed.

  • Professional redundancies. Pro gear + backup systems, always.

  • Communication that doesn’t drift. You’ll get clear answers and quick decisions—average reply time is 24–48 hours.

Guided portraits in 15 minutes—then back to the people and the party.

Your couple gets what they want. You keep the day moving.

I don’t “wander until we find it.”

How we work together

  1. Align early — You send timeline + shot priorities. I flag pinch points before they become problems.

  2. Build smart pockets — We protect ceremony, cocktail hour, and golden hour without dragging your couple away from guests.

  3. Execute calmly — I direct when needed, disappear when not, and keep you informed without adding noise.

  4. Deliver fast + clean — Sneak peeks within 72 hours, full gallery typically 6–8 weeks (often sooner).

Need a family-formals system that doesn’t implode? I’ve got one.

Delivery + vendor sharing

  • Sneak peeks within 72 hours (perfect for your recap + excitement momentum).

  • Full online gallery: typically 6–8 weeks (often faster).

  • Hand-edited, high-resolution images with consistent, true-to-life color.

  • Easy vendor sharing: I can send a clean link for the vendor team + crediting.
COI available upon request.
Vendor team gets a clean sharing link + crediting support.
