K FAMILY

Ashley is magical! We have had the pleasure of having her take our family pictures 4 years in a row. Each year we have loved our pictures SO much. Each session we leave nervous that we won't have many pictures that turn out due weather disturbances, and our children fussing or crying our pictures always looks amazing. Ashley is so talented at capturing candid, artful shots!

SAM + HANNAH

We are obsessed with our wedding photos! Working with Ashley was a dream. Even with the bridal party running ridiculously late (woops!) Ashley was not only a calming presence, but she captured all the best moments. Even with our officiant forgetting to ask the guests to sit through the ceremony (lol) the photos turned out incredible!! We are so grateful we got to work with her. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further!

SAM + LISA

Ashley was incredibly prepared and professional and ready for anything! She set up expectations before hand perfectly and showed up ready to go and everything worked like a well oiled machine. She did a great job, delivering on her timeline for sneak peaks and provided very helpful information on how to navigate through the gallery and gave recommendations for where to print albums and photographs. I am so thankful for Ashley. She gave us truly beautiful memories that will be treasured for many years to come. We also love the 8MM video of the highlights of the day and showing the natural beauty and aesthetic of our venue. Ashley is wonderful to work with, I can sing no higher praises. Thank you, Ashley!!!

NOAH + ABBY

Ashley was an incredible wedding photographer! She was prompt, organized, and friendly to everyone she had to work with on our big day! Her patience and calm presence was exactly what what we needed - it kept us calm!! She made sure that she captured the moments we wanted and went above and beyond with different locations/backgrounds, different poses, and she made everything feel extremely natural! We received our sneak peaks the next day and all of our wedding photos only a week later - that is unheard of! We were so excited coming back from our honeymoon and being able to relive our special day over again! Not to mention, the photos are STUNNING! We love them so much! It was a great mix of us, our family, friends, wedding party, ceremony, reception, sunset, and dance floor! We didn't feel like we got an overwhelming amount of photos, either! It was the perfect amount!! Not only are her photos worth oohing and awwing over, but her kindness and communication style made her our go-to wedding vendor! She was a listening ear and a cheerleader for us when Covid-19 changed our plans drastically! Thank you, Ashley, for capturing our wedding and all of the fun that went along with it!! Ashley is the MVP (Most Valuable Photographer) out there!!!! We 100% recommend her services to anyone! :)


MICHAEL + KATHRYN

It was fantastic working with Ashley, and her photos are GORGEOUS. Her guidance during our photoshoot made the whole process feel fun and laid-back. She had ways of making us loosen up and look more natural, and she helped with the small things (fix that necklace, hand in pocket, etc.) We were absolutely thrilled with our gallery and how all the photos turned out. There are so many beautiful photographs it will be hard to choose a selection for printing! I'm so glad we trusted Ashley with our day, and I love her style. She really has a talent for color and composition. There were so many small moments she captured throughout the ceremony and the reception, and the photos really convey the joy of our event. We had to postpone our wedding because of the pandemic, and Ashely was super supportive and flexible. I would highly recommend her as a wedding photographer!

MATT + LAURA

Ashley was incredible!! It was an absolute joy working with her and we couldn’t be more happy with how our photos turned out! We could tell right away she has a huge passion for photography and knows what she’s doing! We were beyond impressed with how professional she was and the level of quality in the photos was unreal…we couldn’t have been more happy with how they turned out! Not only is Ashley phenomenal at what she does but she’s an amazing person too. We just can’t stop having fun when we’re around her! 🙂 Again, we can’t say enough good things about our experience working with Ashley and would highly recommend to anyone!

Every photo session with Ashley has been a dream! As someone who feels awkward and doesn't know what to do with themselves when having their picture taken, I can say that she makes all the difference! Every session has been fun, relaxed and easy with Ashley behind the camera. The finished gallery always blows my mind - so thankful to have these amazing photos of our family. Thank you so much Ashley!

I absolutely love working with Ashley and having her capture my family. At the time of session, she does an incredible job going with the flow, working with young kids, and making the process fun. Every time I get a gallery, I am blown away by her speed in editing, and the images' quality and quantity. I will choose her time and time again and highly recommend her to anyone. She doesn't hold anything back and truly provides an exceptional experience. Thank you, Ashley, for making photo-taking so fun and leaving me with lifelong stills of this crazy time in my life! I appreciate you!

SARA + KIRK

Ashley with Gilded Sparrow photography was the best photographer I could have picked for my wedding day. Photography was the most important vendor for me on my big day and as soon as I saw Ashley’s portfolio I knew I had to book her for my big day! 8 days after I got engaged I reached out immediately and booked her right away. To say she lived up to my expectations would be an understatement, she exceeded them by miles!!! Our engagement session was so special, taking place in the exact spot Kirk proposed to me! Then moving on to a more fall location and capturing the most stunning photos. My husband isn’t one for pictures but she has the best way of making you feel comfortable and beautiful and capturing your love so perfectly! On our wedding day she did the same thing, knowing exactly what to say, how to adjust us but also just letting us enjoy our day and be in the moment! She was EXTREMELY quick at getting us our photos, even sending us a few sneak peaks the day of! Are you kidding me?! It was perfect! I huddled all of my friends around the day after we got our full album and every single person is blown away with how beautifully she captured every moment and really told the story of how amazing the day ways. I’m so grateful for Ashley and her team and will be using her for photos for a lifetime. Safe to say I highly recommend Ashley and her photography business!!!

Gilded Sparrow Photography is AMAZING! Ashley is such a unique artist who has the ability to capture your special day in a modern updated way. Plus she is wonderful to work with! I had no doubts working with you. You are such a sweet person to work with and know exactly how to direct wedding parties in a fun way. Successfully getting a group of 18 people to take pictures is truly impressive. I felt so comfortable working with you and was confident that our photos would be amazing.

Ashley!!! THANK YOU. We love the pictures. I cant believe how well the images capture our memories from the day and SO beautifully. It only took so long to respond because Ive been looking at the photos in all my free time! Thank you for getting them to us as quickly as you did, I think we remember you saying in a month and I was only JUST starting to get the itch for more pictures... and then they were all done! Seriously though, you were so great to work with, if we ever need pictures again we’ll for sure think of you. Thank you for EVERYTHING. I can’t wait to print!!

MEGAN + JON

My husband and I were searching for a photographer for our wedding and we heard of Ashley through a friend. We looked at her portfolio and immediately loved her style! And when we met her we loved her even more! Not to mention our pup Chevy loved her too!
It was important to Jon and I that we have a photographer we get along well with and helps us through photos as we had no clue what to do! Ashley exceeded our expectations! Not only helping us she has an amazing talent for catching the most precious moments!! We were blown away by our engagement photos and our wedding photos. ♥️ We love them all so much we are still deciding which ones to put on canvas! Also one other thing we loved about Ashley is her relaxed demeanor. Her “vibe” helps everyone around her!! I highly recommend Ashley! ♥️

Ah where do I begin??? We've been blessed having Ashley take many photos for us - ranging from business head shots to maternity to Christmas cards. We love the work she does and the special moments she captures for our family. She's also prompt with editing and sending the files which is a huge perk. Thank you and we look forward to continuing to work with you!

Ashley,

I can't thank you enough for the quick turn around for our engagement photos! The sneak peaks were one thing but I am truly obsessed and blown away with the entire gallery! You did a wonderful job capturing our goofy and non-PDA relationship haha and I am so so thankful! We had a ton of fun during the shoot as well. You were so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable :) And thank you for your patience with Waylon...we knew he would be excited but he was quite the goofball that day!

TOM + BRITT

Where to start with our extreme happiness with our photos from Ashley.  Every single picture helped us tell how wonderful our day was. The editing was impeccable and helped bring out all the fall colors that we wanted. Ashley was super fun to work with, which we knew right away from our engagement pictures when we took them THE DAY AFTER HER WEDDING!!! During our big day, she helped us keep up right on time, made sure we had all the pictures we wanted, and captured Tom and I’s personalities so well by laughing with us. We have received nothing but compliments from our family and friends on how wonderful she was to work with and how great the pictures turned out.

Photography was on the top of our list of priorities and we both can say we definitely made the right choice with Ashley.

Can’t wait to review them more in the morning and get them printed for the wall of our home !

MARK + HANNAH

Ashley was an absolute dream to work with. Obviously the years 2020 and 2021 were horrible years to try and plan a wedding but Ashley was so laid back and encouraging throughout the entire process. Her laid back, go with the flow style and emphasis on capturing the moments rather than everything being posed is exactly what we wanted. I know this won't be the last time we have her photograph us :

mike + emmalee
