Cincinnati Wedding Photographer

From the heart of Cincinnati Wedding Photographer - Ashley Garland

I will never forget Stephen and Danielle’s first dance. They seemed to be floating on a cloud and the smiles on their faces were contagious. I looked over at their parents and my heart just melted. They just watched that special moment with such joy and tears filled their eyes.

That little piece of time beautifully captured generations of love in such an authentic way. That was my “aha moment” as a wedding photographer that I knew this is what I was meant to be doing.

I have never felt more passionate about any other career as wedding photography. The opportunity to give couple's peace of mind knowing they can experience their wedding day and fully trust that we are creating an authentic visual story to share their love story with generations to come is our purpose.

"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."

Ashley was the absolute best! She did everything we asked for and more. She was so quick to respond, open to any suggestions we had, and of course the pictures turned out AMAZING. We got a bunch of sneak peeks the night of the wedding and have a huge digital album of fully finished photos from the whole night. She was so helpful and sweet through the entire process. 10/10 would use again.
