ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Ashley, and I'm a Halifax Wedding Photographer! I'm also a cat-lover, sunset chaser, and lover of candid, real, adventurous, passionate, beautiful moments. I go swimming any chance I get, I love talking to strangers, laying in grass, curating playlists, and seeing live music. And I really love my job.


I want to connect with you. On your wedding day or portrait session, I don’t just see you as a client. I genuinely want to be friends with you, because when I put my camera in front of you, I’m thinking about who you are, I’m thinking about your future self looking at the photo, I’m thinking about how nervous I would be if I were you, and I’m thinking about how valuable every second I have in front of you is. I don’t walk away from sessions or weddings thinking that I finished a job; I leave thinking about the connection we made, and the pieces of evidence that I get to hold in my hand that say that you lived, loved, laughed, had feelings, had experiences - felt happiness, sadness, fear, excitement. A photo to me tells your story, and I come to photography with that in mind.

I’m based in Halifax, Nova Scotia but I’m always up for travel. Let me know if you’re planning something outside of this province!

 
To my couples: thank you for keeping me going. I’ve always felt that the photographer-client relationship is so special. To be able to capture the essence of people, everyone involved needs to trust each other and know that we will find a meeti
Working on never underestimating the value of good friends. Which sounds weird! The thing is, as a semi-introvert sometimes it’s hard to remember to invest time in people, but it almost always pays off in the end. People need people. ❤️
I love this moment because I feel like it was just this moment where they got to hang out and be together while I took a step back 🤍 Dress: @karmabridal Planner: @candid.events Flowers: @freelyfloral
COVID’s tiny social distancing weddings are finally happening and I’m so excited to be photographing them! Here’s a snippet of Josh and Rebecca’s little wedding, the first one I got to do after restrictions started allowing it
I’m planning for a lot more purposeful representation in my portfolio and I’m so excited about it. 🖤
I don’t know how to caption all the feelings that the current state of the world have brought on so I will leave it to people who have better words, but what I can say is that it’s unacceptable to have any kind of platform and not say som

A romantic, moody, storybook daydream. This November evening was so full of talent, trust, and love. I felt so overwhelmed with the trust these local vendors put in me. <3

"These are more then I could’ve ever dreamed of!!" | Halifax Boudoir Photographer

This client did her session as a gift to herself as well as a wedding gift to her husband - which is just the BEST idea! I am a huge supporter of doing boudoir just for you - nobody benefits more from a boudoir session than you. But there is something special about having a boudoir session to give to your partner the night before or after the wedding. We worked in his faculty sweater to surprise him with, which was a fun little thing to work into the photos. <3

I love these two sooooo much and I loved that we connected so quickly. Avril and Mark’s last couple years are so similar to mine and Jesse’s (military background + a big move in the past year) it just felt like the most perfect match. ❤️

High Head has to be one of the dreamiest locations, and Farah and Kevin are such a sweet couple. I felt so lucky to get to photograph them here!! As someone who grew up in Whitby, Ontario, ocean views like this don’t stop blowing my mind, so this place is crazzzzy amazing to me!
