Ashley Layden Photography

DREAM

Ashley Layden was a DREAM to work with for our elopement & wedding reception! Since we decided last minute to reschedule our beach elopement due to unusual winter weather, she went ahead & shot our wedding celebration party with our families who had already traveled for us and flew back another weekend to capture our elopement on the beach. Ashley was always so attentive & communicative & always found a way to make things work for us. She posed my husband & I in a way to make it look natural & make me feel truly beautiful. I’ve gotten so many compliments on how stunning I look & how incredible the photos turned out. We had our dogs with us at our elopement, so of course I will cherish these photos that Ashley took forever. My dogs are well behaved but she managed to capture moments where each one are giving me kisses, which I am so happy about. Ashley put all of my worries & insecurities at ease before & during our elopement. She was so reassuring & flexible when things didn’t go as planned. She’s a free spirit & we had the most fun sharing our special day with her!!!

My wedding photographer from 2018 is back and now photographing my family! It’s like her creative juices didn’t skip a beat, and neither did her talent. Her upbeat and kind demeanor was evident from the first hello to goodbye. My 5-year-old and 1-year-old daughters loved her! Her communication is excellent, giving us clear instructions on where to meet and how to set up as a family during our session to accessing our photos afterwards. I am so glad she’s back and had the opportunity to work with her again. I will definitely be using her to capture sweet moments with my family. Highly recommend!

We had the BEST experience with Ashley! 🤍 She made the whole session so fun and relaxed, especially for the kids. She gave them plenty of time to warm up to being forced to take pictures 😂 and had so many fun prompts that made everything feel natural. She captured EVERYTHING! from the kids individually, each of us with each kiddo, family photos, and tons of candid moments of us just having fun together. I especially loved that she let the kids pick some poses and locations they wanted, too! All around such an amazing experience, and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful. We are SO SO SO happy with them! 🥹🤍

Ashley is amazing!! My fiancé and I hate getting photos taken, but Ashley made us look and feel so comfortable! She is so so kind and easy to work with, 10/10 would hire again!
