This styled wedding, at Low Meadows Estate, is where farm charm meets modern luxury.  The striking black and gold decor, with striped tablecloths and glittery gold runners, was truly captivating.  The touches of greenery, soft white roses, and black feathers softened the bold tones. Aside from the stylish couple, the showstopper was the head table.  […]

When Lynn, the owner of the historic Royster House, reached out to me about collaborating on a styled shoot, I was ecstatic!

When Morgan and I started collaborating on an airstream photoshoot, I knew it was going to be a blast!  She has recently turned her working cattle farm into a photography venue and offers tons of props!  Including a vintage airstream!

This styled bridal session at The Beck Barn was even more amazing than I thought it would be!  I like to plan styled shoots at the beginning of each year to recharge and get my creative juices flowing.  I had an amazing team of vendors that came together to help bring my vision to life! […]

So when Southern Bride reached out to us in April about publishing one of our styled shoots in their summer/fall issue, I thought it […]

When one of your neighbors is growing wheat and the other has beautiful kids, you plan a sunset wheat field session!  Kendall and Kaitlyn have the sweetest sister bond and they always keep me smiling!  They each get more beautiful each time I see them! Their brother, Dusty, and his precious girlfriend joined in on […]

With trends changing so rapidly, I believe were going to see a rise in more nontraditional weddings. Who says you have to spend thousands on a fancy gown and a huge reception to have the wedding of your dreams? Brides are getting more creative with their styles and are merging traditions to create a more […]

This styled wedding, at the historic North Lake, was the dreamiest of shoots!  Because of the elegant feel of the historic country club and the whimsical vibe of the lake, we chose to feature two different gowns from Carolina Bridal!  One with a classic and sexy look, and a second with a fun and flirty […]

I'm a small-town, North Carolina, photographer and full-time spaghetti enthusiast!  If I'm not behind my camera or computer, you'll be able to find me at the barn with my horses or in the garden - I'm pretty sure that I'm a wannabe plant lady at heart!

I'm Ashley
