FOR THE ADVENTUROUS LOVERS EVERYWHERE

Asheville based WEDDING & ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS & beyond

Ashley Ricci holding a camera — This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

You probably guessed it, but that smiley lady over there? That’s me, **Ashley Ricci.**
Asheville wedding photographer, mountain-dweller, & unapologetic ~cool mom.~
My approach to wedding photography goes far beyond your **stunning, heirloom-worthy photos.**
**I’m dedicated to *your experience*.**
I want you to **have fun**, feel **taken care of**, and be able to **relax**, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes.

Let's hang out

Your wedding is a big freakin’ deal.

but making it happen can be a big freakin’ headache.

My goal as your wedding photographer is to make a significant part of this process simple for you.

Because to you, wedding photography isn’t just a box to check off the budget sheet.
It’s the investment that will make the rest of your wedding last in memory & living color.
But it doesn’t have to be stressful.

And here’s the secret:

The best way to get timeless, authentic, intimate photos has nothing to do with camera settings, lighting, or location.
(I mean, I won’t lie, everything does look sexier on a mountaintop during golden hour.)

The key is the relationship. The trust. Between you & your soulmate. Between us.

So what do you say? Wanna start something?

take our photos, friend

There aren’t enough amazing things to say about Ashley.

FROM THE FIRST TIME WE MET I felt like I had known her for years. SHE kept in contact with us and met with us again a few months before our wedding to scout out places to do our first look.

The wedding day was even better. Ashley was with me the entire time. Not only did she capture every moment, but she kept me calm. She helped me with my dress, my shoes, made sure I had eaten, and let me ramble in her car on the way to the first look. She also made sure I was warm because it was cold and windy the day of the wedding. There is not ONE moment she did not capture. I would not change a thing about Ashley or this day.
