ASH SMITH | PHOTO STUDIO

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

 

With my best friend, Emily, on her wedding day.

As a key member of your wedding team, my goal for you is to look back at your wedding photos and remember how loved, cherished, and supported you felt on your wedding day. Your wedding will be a meaningful experience not just for you and your partner, but for the community of family, friends, and loved ones who come together to support you.

It’ll also be a blur and there will be a lot going on, which is something I’m sure you already know. We’ll work together before your wedding to plan the photographs, create a schedule for the day, and make sure it all aligns with your specific goals and vision for your wedding day.

We’ll dedicate time to creative portraits of you and your partner, family photographs, capturing the details and decoration, and all of the intimate and unexpected moments in-between. When it comes to photography, I don't want to be just another vendor. I get energy from showing up for people, and you can be sure I’ll show up for you on your wedding day- helping to make you feel supported, and to make your day memorable, stress-free, fun, and intimate. I got you! Promise.

WEDDING COLLECTIONS

Every full-day wedding collection includes a minimum of eight hours of coverage, second photographer, custom online gallery, and print media. Rates for full weddings range from $3,800 to $5,600. We’ll make sure every important detail is covered, even during the times of the day when you and your partner are apart.

MICRO-WEDDINGS AND ELOPEMENTS

Planning an intimate and laid-back farm wedding? Taking a trip to the courthouse? Every wedding is different and each couple is unique. I’m here to capture that! Micro packages include one photographer and a minimum of three hours with a focus on you and your partner.

COUPLES

For this one-hour shoot, we’ll visit one of your favorite spots or I can scout one for you, chill out, have fun and capture some sweet moments. Bring your pets, a change of outfit, and anything that will make you feel most like you. Couple sessions are included in select full-day wedding packages and start at $500.

    Interested in finding out more? Get in touch! Tell me a bit about you, your partner, and your story up until this point. Be sure to include your wedding date. I’m currently booking for 2024 and 2025.

  • 2 | M E E T I N G

    Let’s talk! We can chat on the phone, schedule a Zoom call, or meet up at my Fishtown studio. I’d love to hear what you envision for your wedding day, and to share a bit more about me and my process.

  • 3 | C O L L E C T I O N S

    Now that I’ve had a chance to walk you through the process, it’s time to choose a wedding collection. Standard full-day wedding collections start at $3,800. If you’re having a small celebration and don't necessarily need a full day of coverage, check out my rates for elopements and micro weddings.

  • 4 | E N G A G E M E N T S E S S I O N

    This is honestly one of the most important and overlooked parts of the whole wedding process, and great practice for your couple portraits on the wedding day! Don’t worry- I’ll walk you through everything you need to know to have fun and feel comfortable on camera. It’ll help us both on your big day.

  • 5 | D A Y O F S C H E D U L E

    Planning in advance means a more worry-free wedding day, so I’ll be sending you a planning questionnaire about one month before your wedding. From there I’ll work with you and/or your planner to develop a custom day of schedule that helps your wedding day run smoothly!

  • 6 | W E D D I N G D A Y

    You get to celebrating with the most important people in your lives and I get to work, creating images that tell your story. After the wedding, I’ll share some of my favorite select images with you in a small online gallery, and editing will begin to refine your full gallery.

  • 7 | T H E P H O T O G R A P H S

    Within eight weeks of your wedding, you’ll receive a link to an online gallery with your hi-resolution images ready to download and share with friends and family. From there, I can help you design your heirloom wedding album, bringing your memories to life in your home.

 
 

Ashley was amazing to work with from start to finish. Very responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. She understood exactly what we were looking for and is so friendly! Emily & Peter

We can’t be sure how digital files, especially those with stylized film filters, will stand the test of time. That’s why I deliver clean and accurately color corrected images at the largest file size possible every time.

 
 

I also highly encourage investment in an album. An album doesn’t have to feel dated, or go away on a shelf somewhere never to be looked at- the right one can function as a really cool art object to keep in your home while giving you the peace-of-mind that you know you’ll hold onto it forever.

In addition to being a wedding photographer, I am an artist with a practice that combines photography with fibers. As an add-on to your wedding package, I offer custom embroidered photographs of your favorite wedding images. You can choose the colors and style, and I’ll work on creating a one-of-a-kind embroidered print from your most special day. I’ve been embroidering photographs extensively for over 6 years, and have exhibited my embroidered photographs all over the world. I bring that same thoughtfulness, precision, and attention-to-detail to your custom embroidered print. Pieces are priced based on total hours of labor and price of materials and are therefore highly dependent on size and style.
