Ashley Rae Studio

Alyssa Stewart

We went with the Ashley Rae Studio Associates team and cannot recommend them enough. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Nicole and Andrew for photo & Shane and Kai for video and they were just incredible. The entire team was so friendly and accommodating; they were always hyping us up and were such a fun time! We have gotten the sneak peeks back so far and they are so beautiful; we absolutely love them and their artistic style! The team was so helpful and patient and just all around lovely people. I was originally just a bit worried not knowing who our photographers/videographer would be and not seeing previous work for the specific associates and once the day came around I knew it was going to be amazing because they are such an awesome team, and once we got the sneak peeks back we knew we 10000% made the right choice, the photos are just like anything Ashley Rae would do and they are incredibly beautiful. Our only caveat which is a personal note based on our personal preferences was that there was a lot of time spent during family and friend photos staging everyone (the typical one hand in the pocket/arm, balancing men and women on both sides of us, etc) that we would have rather spent the time maximizing our cocktail hour with guests. So if you share our opinions that the group photos don't have to be perfect, we would recommend advising this prior to the wedding. Overall we truly can not recommend a better photographer and videographer than Ashley’s team! We can’t thank Nicole, Andrew, Shane, and Kai enough for all of their hard work and fun attitudes, they made our day amazing!

Ashley is one of the most talented photographers I have had the pleasure of working with in my decade in the wedding industry! I've gotten to work with Ashley on several weddings and I have hired her to photography my custom wedding invitations. Capturing flat lay photographs is a challenge and Ashley makes it look easy! She has a beautiful, artistic style and creates flat lays that are lush, full, crisp, and interesting. You can tell she is passionate about her work and nailing each shot. If I were getting married, Ashley would be my top choice!

Working with Ashley and her team was such a great experience. Ashley is responsive, listens to your needs and takes the time to understand what is important to you when it comes to photography. We had many different photo combinations to get through on our wedding day and her team made sure we moved along quickly and kept us on time to ensure we got all of the photos we wanted. The quality of her work speaks for itself and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. We would highly recommend using her. Thank you Ashley and team!

This is a LONG OVERDUE review. We could write a novel about Ashley, her talent, her warm, genuine personality and how wonderful she is to work with, so I'll do my best to make this short! My husband initially worked with her for a very important job in 2019 - the day he planned to propose. She made what is usually a stressful (but exciting) experience on the groom all the more enjoyable, went out of her way to help arrange everything so the moment was perfect, was on-time waiting at the location, coordinated with other vendors (picked up florals, etc) and of course, snapped the best shots of what is truly one of life's sweetest (and biggest!) moments. We look back on that day with pure joy and the best part is, now we have all of the photos to cherish and take us back to that very moment - forever! Fast forward to planning our wedding a few months later, and there was no question in our minds when it came to discussing our photography/video needs - we already knew that Ashley was the perfect person for the big job and truly wanted her to be part of the next special moment in our lives! As if wedding planning isn't stressful enough, we also navigated it throughout the pandemic. We initially hired Ashley for our "first" wedding which was in our home state and coordinated a package to fit our needs at that time. But, as the months went on and things became more uncertain, we had a change of heart and ended up putting our planning on pause indefinitely. Ashley was there every step of the way with grace, patience and care, letting us know she would do her absolute best to work with us to re-scope our needs when and if we were ready to do so. We eventually pulled a wild card and decided on a destination wedding, which definitely sounded crazy at the time... ha! We were anxious and excited to pick up the conversation and see if Ashley would even be open to taking on the job, knowing it would change a LOT of the initial plans and was kinda a risk at the time. But to no surprise, she worked with us through it all and jumped at the opportunity. I can't express how grateful we were to have Ashley and her husband, Caleb, there with us for our wedding week in Italy. It was so comforting to know we had our photo/video needs in the BEST hands and didn't have to worry about language barriers or the quality of the work, when we would receive photos, etc. Ashley also managed the family dynamics that sometimes come with weddings with the utmost professionalism and ensured everyone was comfortable. She made the entire experience fun for everyone. Our bridal party/guests even noticed the quality of her work and attention to detail throughout the week and in our beautiful photos and wedding film. Needless to say, Ashley is full of fresh ideas, honest with her clients, responsive and has such a gift - it's clear that she loves what she does! If you're looking for magazine-worthy, beautiful, timeless photography and cinematography that naturally captures the moments you'll cherish forever - look no further. I would recommend Ashley and her team a million times over to anyone in the central coast and beyond for their photo/video needs. She goes above and beyond for her clients. You won't be disappointed!
