BEHIND THE
LENS

MEET ASHLEY JADE

I've always been a sucker for love—watching romance movies and being surrounded by effortless love stories; That's what inspires me to bring those big-screen moments to life for my couples.

I've always had a love for photography.

From a young age, I found myself in front of the camera, posing for my photographer Aunt and watching my Papa snap photos at every opportunity. In high school, I became the designated photographer among my friends, always capturing our memorable moments and directing scenes for creative photoshoots. In 2021, I took the leap to turn my hobby into a career, dedicated to capturing timeless aesthetics for people around the world. I got voted Sarasota's Best Photographer in the Sarasota Herald Tribune and I recently got engaged to my best friend in the whole world; so I can relate to all your wedding planning excitement!

When I'm not behind the lens, you can find me teaching competitive dance at Mystical's Dance Company, chilling with my dachshund—who's truly my ride-or-die— or shopping for all the newest trendy clothes. I'm also a sucker for romance movies and novels; And let's not forget my go-to coffee order: an iced vanilla latte with oat milk.

Hi! I'm Ashley but you can call me Ash

“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.” —Coco Chanel

I am dedicated to serving the Lord in all aspects of my life. Recognizing that each of us is uniquely created in His image and for a purpose, I am grateful for the opportunity to capture the beauty of His creation. Through my work, I aim to reflect His love and magnify His glory.

Intention: Every photograph I take is infused with intentionality. I strive to capture not just what is happening, but the emotions, connections, and significance behind each moment.

Wedding details: I adore wedding details and the little things that make up your day. I strive creatively capture your accessories, shoes, lipstick, in a unique and natural way. These images serve as beautiful reminders of the thought and care put into every aspect of your special day.

Family: Family is everything to me , they are the people that inspired me to pursue my career and showed me how to love others. And because family is so important me : I take time during your day to capture your loved ones with sensitivity and care. A little tip: instead of doing family portraits after your ceremony, think about doing a family toast where you get to breath, take in time with your favorite people, and have REAL moments and candids captured of your favorite people.

Embracing the moment: Having clients that embrace the moment and embrace my creative direction is EVERYTHING I ever want. By embracing the present and capturing these genuine moments, I create photographs that transport you back to the emotions and atmosphere. Don't think of me as a stranger with a lens in your face, think of me as a friend ; goofing around with you at your favorite place, show me your true self and embrace the moment
