Your wedding day is one of the most meaningful days of your life and my job as your photographer is to capture those moments, from the dramatic to the intimate, and make them shine. I pride myself on forming meaningful connections with my couples and find that it is crucial to establish trust and friendship from the very start. While a wedding day can sometimes feel like a blur, when your photographs are delivered, an Aurelia Studios couple is able to look back and enjoy those special moments and details all over again. And that moment, is my why.
As your wedding photographer, it's important to me that I connect with you as a couple. This connection allows me to capture the heart of your relationship and create a unique experience for you as an Aurelia Studios couple.
The Wedding Experience
Where there is love
there is life
Every couple and wedding is unique and different. That's why every wedding package is custom created to meet the needs of your special day. All packages include at least six hours of wedding day coverage, two photographers, and an online gallery of your images. Wedding albums are also available for purchase. To schedule a "wine and chat" or a virtual consultation with me, book here.
The Investment
I add travel fees on to any wedding outside of a 50 mile radius from Glen Allen, Virginia. Fees vary depending on location so ask us for more details.
+ WHEN DO YOU CHARGE TRAVEL FEES?
Turn around time varies depending on how busy the season. I ask that you allow 6 weeks for delivery. Again, wedding season (April, May, June, September, October, November), is extremely busy and therefore, a full six weeks may be required to properly edit all images. No worries, I’ll be sure to send you a sneak peek to keep you excited!
+ WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR WEDDING IMAGES?
Fantastic! To reserve your wedding date, I’ll need a completed contract and a 33% non-refundable deposit. If you don’t have a contract yet, just let me know and I’ll send one over! The remaining balance will be due one week before the wedding.
+ WE LOVE YOUR WORK AND WE’RE READY TO BOOK! WHAT’S THE NEXT STEP?

Yes! This is a great way to get to know you & your fiancé in front of the camera! It helps you get to know me and how it feels to have a camera pointed at you!

Kristin & Nick
I don't have enough AMAZING words to describe Ashley and her breathtaking work. We seriously hit the jackpot with her as our wedding photographer. We first met Ashley for our engagement session in Richmond and our personalities and sense of humor automatically clicked! She made us feel so comfortable and kept us laughing! Ashley Truly captures every moment in a way that gives you ALL the feels. I love her candid and free style of photography.
Amanda & Blaine
Ashley is the total package! She has a keen eye for capturing detail, emotion and candidness. We are by no means “naturals” behind the camera, so it was important for us to find someone that made us feel comfortable and confident throughout hours of photos on our wedding day. It's crazy to think that you spend your entire wedding day with a total stranger, but it did not feel that way with Ashley as she was a joy to be around. Waking up to sneak peek photos the next morning was a special treat and the abundance of photos that followed were even better than we could have imagined. She is so talented and we highly recommend using Ashley for your wedding or other events. We would book her again in a heartbeat!
Annie & Sam
Words cannot describe how blessed we were to have Ashley photograph our big day, especially with me being the bride. She made us look natural & got the best candid pictures of us that capture pure emotion. From the moment she walked in the room on the wedding day, she gave me a sense of comfort. She kept me calm & on schedule. After all was said & done, I was amazed with the quality & quantity of photos. There were so many detailed photos of moments that I would have forgotten. Can't wait to work with her in the future!
Madison & Kellam
Ashley is amazing! She is so talented and captured so many wonderful moments on our wedding day and during our engagement session. She drove up to Northern Virginia for both events and made us feel so comfortable, she is so easy going and knows exactly how to guide you. I was worried our pictures might look forced, but they were so natural and she got some great candid shots. She really pays attention to the little things and her artistry really shines through in her detail pictures (shoes, flowers, rings, etc.). We were SO pleased with her services and she even did a same day slideshow shown on the TV at our venue that our guests raved about. Planning and communication was so easy with Ashley and her years of experience in executing the wedding timeline and shot list was evident on our big day.
Jessi & Adam
She really made our special day extra special! With so much going on, it was great to have her give us directions during our pre-ceremony photos. She not only captured great posed photos of my husband and with our families and wedding party but she also captured beautiful candid photos of the two of us. Ashley was very accommodating & wanted to make sure we got the photos we wanted, while also making sure we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves throughout the wedding.
Alexa & Brendan
When it comes to planning a wedding, finding the right photographer can be a very overwhelming experience. But the moment we met Ashley, we knew she would be the perfect fit. She was willing to drive 6+ hours to help us shoot our engagement photos at Penn State and managed to stage us in a way that felt both natural and comfortable. She was flexible, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with and has a great sense of humor that makes you feel like family from the start.
Ali & Chrissy
Ashley has been our family photographer for years now. She makes us all so comfortable and our annual family photo shoot FUN (which is sometimes hard to do with teenagers!) We always get so many great shots from her that it is hard to choose which ones will go on the Christmas card. She is a true professional with quality work, and I never hesitate to recommend her services.
