Ashley Carlascio Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $10,500
  • Serves Durham, CA

My approach to wedding photography is one part editorial and one part sentimental candids. I want to capture all the details you have chosen to have on your wedding day and all the guests you have invited to share this moment. You will have a fun & joyful experience and receive natural-looking, artful photos that look like they belong in a magazine. My edit is a bright, true-to-color crisp edit. I care deeply about skin tones looking true to life, and my edit is centered around that.

“We decided to have a destination wedding and we knew that what mattered the most to us was our choice of photographer so it was a big decision for us. I stumbled across Megan's work and was instantly impressed. Not only is she extremely talented with what she does, but she also is very professional. She has had amazing communication, and was super flexible and kind when something last minute popped up. She has helped me have an ease of mind for my wedding day & she is one reason I'm not bridezilla. Having a destination wedding is already risky enough, but with Megan, it's the best choice we've made thus far.

I am wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Northern California for couples who are madly in love. I love natural light and try to capture beautifully real raw images. I like to photograph the real stuff... the good stuff! The smiling, giggling and all the things that make you blush!

“We first met Susie at my sister’s wedding and knew right away we wanted her for ours. Shooting on top of Donner Summit isn’t easy, but she made it feel effortless. She somehow managed to get every photo we wanted and so many we didn’t even know we needed. The way she captured the light, the landscape, and all the emotion of the day was unreal. The previews already feel like something out of a dream and we honestly can’t wait to see the rest. Thank you so much Susie for capturing our special day!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“I without a doubt did the right thing by hiring Jones Media and choosing both Regina (photographer) and Kevin (videographer) to shoot our vow renewal at Paddlefish at Disney Springs in Orlando, FL. They both brought the energy and the hype, and they have the absolute best personalities. They were incredibly professional the entire time, and I had no idea that they had never worked together before my event! They collaborated seamlessly, bouncing ideas off one another and making everything even more perfect. They honestly didn’t feel like hired vendors—they felt like guests we invited who were having just as much fun as we were, while still staying completely on task. To top it off, they are complete lifesavers. The night before our renewal, we hit a major hiccup. Due to a last-minute policy change at our Disney resort, our third-party vendors were suddenly not permitted on the property. With no other choice, I had to cancel our resort reservations late at night and move everything back to my parents' timeshare. I immediately messaged Kevin and Regina about the last-minute location change. The next morning, they both showed up right on time and completely ready to go. Because we kept our original timeline, the new location meant we were a little farther away from the venue, but neither Kevin nor Regina ever made us feel rushed. We just pivoted, and they went completely above and beyond—even staying a little past their scheduled end time to make up for the chaos the night before. In the Disney world, we call that Pixie Dust, and they definitely brought it with them. If I had to do this all over again, I’d choose them again and again. I can’t wait to see how the final photos and video turn out. Thank you, Jones Media!”

“Tawni was our main point of contact for both photography and videography, and she communicated with us very well, mostly over text which was my preferred method. On the wedding day itself, Tawni was super communicative all the way through the end of their time with us on the dance floor. She made sure to come tell us what was next and kept us in the loop on switching our timeline to work with the best lighting for our couples shoot but still keep our overall flow smooth. Both Tawni and Paul's work is absolutely worth every penny spent. They helped keep us on track throughout the entire day, captured everything we asked of them and more and most importantly, made photo and film fun for us and our bridal party. I could not recommend Tawni and Paul enough to anyone - they work so well together and don't get in each other's way. They are the ultimate photo and film team!”

“Unmatched, epic, insanely talented artist and masterpiece! We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Julia Goldberg. From the very first email, zoom meetings, to the moment she arrived at our hotel the morning of our wedding to the very last minute eight hours later, she was the definition of professionalism, talent, and calm energy. Julia gave my husband and I our dream wedding day in every sense of the word. Her attention to detail, direction, and posing skills made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and she somehow managed to keep everything running smoothly while still making it so fun and natural. She was an absolute ROCKSTAR the entire day, anticipating moments before they happened and capturing them so beautifully and effortlessly. When working with her, you feel as if you’ve known her your whole life. Beyond her impressive talent, Julia is just an amazing person to be around. She is personable, friendly, kind, funny, and so outgoing—it honestly felt like we had a close friend by our side all day. That kind of presence made such a difference and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. And the sneak peek photos… omg we were BEYOND blown away and I cried tears of joy and am still at a loss for words looking at them everyday! Receiving them in less than 48 hours was already impressive, but the photos themselves were beyond anything we could have imagined—stunning, romantic, emotional, and perfectly capturing the magic of our day. She is worth every penny and more! From the day I found her Instagram and website, I knew there was no other photographer I could use for our wedding. Whether you’re getting married at the iconic San Francisco City Hall, on a Safari in Africa, or under the northern lights, she has the itinerary mapped out to a T and gives you the resources to make your day absolutely seamless while always keeping you in the loop and making you feel important and valued. It was truly a dream come true to have Julia as our wedding photographer. We could not have had a more treasured and memorable day without her, and we will be forever grateful. 10000000/10 experience and I want to get married over and over just to have her shoot us again! Thank you again, Julia-you made my wedding dreams come true️”

“What an amazing experience! Michelle is truly one of the best photographers out there. She captured our surprise proposal beautifully! She even gave us Polaroids immediately following our session. She’s truly an artist. We have gotten so many compliments on just our sneak peek photos alone. My favorite one so far has to be “These pictures are stunning! Please pass her info along to us!” We have passed her info along to multiple friends who have asked already. I was so nervous getting all the fine details in place after weeks and weeks of prepping. Michelle was able to coordinate with our venue and make everything work so seamlessly. Michelle had everything and more when it came to having multiple cameras/ styles. You get quality and quantity. We are so happy with everything. My fiancé and I knew we were in great hands from start to finish. She captured exactly what we were looking for. She gave us great direction and made everything so effortless and comfortable. I am not the most comfortable in front of a camera so that is saying a lot! Cannot wait to use her for our future pictures/events. Truly a master at her craft! 10/10 experience. So glad we chose Michelle Gunn photography.”

Based in the Reno & Lake Tahoe area, but travel encouraged. I first picked up a camera a decade ago, but it’s taken time to cultivate the relationship I have with photography today. My passion lies in capturing honest moments & documenting stories that feel real & personal. Whether it’s the joy of a wedding, excitement of an engagement, or intimacy of a quiet elopement, my goal is to create images that reflect genuine connections. When I look through the lens, the world seems to stand still, giving me the chance to catch my breath & find beauty in the moment. It allows me to create timeless images that celebrate your story & feel authentic.

“My husband and I got married in October and I’m so glad we ended up booking with TJ! He was so great throughout the whole experience. He was very easy to communicate with and responsive to any questions or concerns. Our pictures turned out amazing. TJ also completed our gallery SO fast. He was great during the wedding with making sure we got the shots we wanted and went out of his way to find cute outdoor areas to take photos. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.”
