My favorite moments in life are fleeting- feeling warm sunshine on your cheeks, finding the perfect flowers at the farmer’s market, spotting a shooting star that feels like it belongs to you, giggling uncontrollably with your bestie. Photography for me is a way to hold the magical swirl of being witness to something so extraordinarily beautiful, even if it's just an every day moment.
Every single one of us carries a multitude of feeling, thought, personality, hopes, dreams, pain, joy, love, and so on. To me there is no cookie cutter way to capture people because people are too interesting for that. Instead, my approach is intuitive.
I started learning photography when I was a teenager. I have a degree in Film and I started shooting weddings when I was 20. Now in my 30s, I have really honed in on what works for me and what I want to explore.
I'm one of those people that strangers open up to. It works out for well for this gig. ;)
I use my years of experience, overzealous organizational skills, goofball sense of humor, sentimental heart, intuition, and cameras to make photos that feel cinematic and warm. I'm gonna treat you like we're friends and guide you through poses, allow candid moments to come to fruition, and listen to you and the people you love. I have found that connecting as humans makes everyone feel more calm and allows your natural personalities to shine.
Embracing unplanned & unposed moments, collaborative creativity, imperfection (light leaks, crooked frames, artistic blur), and shooting more film!

Ashley is a master of her craft! She captured our wedding so flawlessly, you can the see the love radiating in the air through the pictures! The way the colors and all of the details of our day are on display in the photos is stunning. I have never felt more beautiful in my life, and she capturing so many natural and candid smiles. She used a mixture of digital and film cameras, and was so quick to get our gallery finished and edited!
Ashley herself is an angel to work with and I could not recommend her more!! She is incredibly professional and artistic. Her artistic visions for colors, details and movement is amazing! Thank you so much for capturing our day in a way that we can enjoy forever.
Ashley is a truly wonderful photographer and human! She was such a joy to work with at every moment. She lives up to everything she says and really follows along with the day rather than trying to orchestrate "photo moments." Our wedding album really captures all the feelings and beauty of the day and we can't wait to relive the day through the photos for the rest of time. We highly recommend Ashley to all couples who are looking for artistic, emotional and real photos for their big day - she will deliver above and beyond in every aspect! It's hard to put into words how great Ashley is, but trust us when we say she's one of the best Atlanta has to offer.
My single wedding piece of advice is to hire Ashley White immediately.
Ashley is more than just a photographer, she is a storyteller. Our AMAZING wedding gallery, tells the entire story of our day. We got married in Vegas and truly debated if we wanted to have a local Vegas photographer who knew all the spots or just the chaos of handling a Vegas wedding. However, when we met Ashley to do our engagement photos, we immediately knew she had to do our wedding too!
Like every review you will read, she really just makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. With Ashley, she will pump you up, tell you how to pose if uncomfortable and after getting the flow of it, you become a natural. Not only will she make you (the couple) comfortable, she is going to make your family and guests feel comfortable as well. I love the shots we have of our family and friends. I love the shots of families chatting in between or the joy of our friends seeing us for the first time. The photos Ashley takes are so much more than your traditional wedding photos. She will grab those traditional shots, but the magic she captures in between is where she shines. The magic of whispering a joke before walking down the aisle or the intense joyful faces you will make all in between. I just can't get over this album. It brings tears and laughs all at once. It has me reliving every single moment of the day that just goes by in a flash. If you don't want to worry about how your photos will look so you can be present and soak up every moment, Ashley is the only answer to that. You will have all the confidence to be the most present to enjoy the best day of your life. Okay, now go book her! :)
