“Ashley is AMAZING! All of our photos really capture the emotions of the day. We had a small backyard wedding and Ashley had options to work on an hourly rate instead of a large wedding package which worked well for our smaller budget. We have loved ones who are trans and it was really important to us to have a photographer who would make them comfortable and she was amazing! Ashley has the best energy and was able to put everyone at ease behind the camera. Also, as a plus size bride I was very nervous about being photographed but Ashley was great with posing us in ways that felt natural and I love how the photographs turned out. She has a gift for capturing the love and beauty of special days. Can't recommend her enough!” - Shannon Williamson

Ash is amazing! My wife and I hired Ash for our small wedding in the New Orleans botanical garden and they made pictures, a topic that makes both of us nervous, easy and fun! Ash perfectly captured our favorite day true to light and mood with a great mixture of bridals and candids. I cried when I saw the pictures because they flooded me with all the warmth and love we felt on our wedding day. I can’t wait to print these photos and hire Ash again the next time a photo need arises. Thank you Nola Darlings! -Campbell Sullivan
