”Photo quality and creativity, THE BEST. She did our engagement as well as our wedding day and we will definitely be booking with her for all future family photos! I really appreciate that she leads you through positioning in a way that feels natural and never forced and her techniques produce absolutely magazine worthy style shots. I’ll cherish every moment she captured!”

Ashley is SO talented! She takes beautiful, creative photos that are absolutely gorgeous. She shot my engagement and wedding photos and it was the best experience. She makes the shoots so much fun. If you’re looking for not-your-average pics then she is your girl!

BOOK. HER. NOW. you can thank me later :) We hired Ashley for our wedding back in February 2021 without doing any session with her before our big day because I already knew I would love our photos just from looking through her gallery. When it comes to photos, i'm a big fan of moody & romantic, especially for my wedding & let me tell you.... she DELIVERED!!! Fast forward to October 2022, we booked her again for our maternity shoot & yet again, she exceeded my expectations & made my vision for these pictures come to life!!! She captures every raw emotion & it never feels awkward or uncomfortable. Also, she is the BEST hype woman!!! :) There is no doubt that Ashley will be capturing all our big milestones & family pictures in the future. We love her!!!! (a few of my faves from my wedding & maternity shoot attached).

Truthfully, I am so blessed with Ashley’s work. The timeless look she gives pictures is absolutely priceless. I have sent many many clients to her for that very reason. I also recommend her because most guys hate taking pictures and Ashley truly gets them to open up and have a good time with her spunky care free attitude. WE LOVE HER!!!

I cannot express how grateful I am to Ashley for capturing our wedding day as perfectly as she did. My sister and I both used Ashley for our engagements and wedding day pictures. It was one of the best decisions I made during my whole wedding planning process. Ashley is so incredibly talented and I could not have asked for better memories from mine and Daniel’s special day. I was a littler nervous going into our engagement shoot (because hello! NOT a model) But Ashley made the experience so fun and enjoyable with lots of laughs, just by being herself. She is truly amazing person and photographer. We are blessed to have her precious work look back on for the rest of our lives and relive our favorite day.

When planning our wedding photography was one of our top priorities. It had to be the best of the best! We feel so blessed to have been all to snatch Ashley up for our big day. When I got ahold of Ashley she was pretty solid on bookings but had one opening that just became available. Of course I pulled all the strings possible to get her. She is so wonderful and easy going. Ashley makes you feel very comfortable and is quick to get everything you want. She makes you feel so special at the same time. Stop considering and just book her! You won’t be sorry. Her talent and work is worth every penny for any type of session, but especially your wedding. If you’re looking for the best then you’ve found it!

Ashley’s work surpassed all of our expectations. During our engagement shoot, she demonstrated a keen eye for detail in finding beautiful backgrounds. She also conducted herself in a laid back approach, which helped us feel comfortable and translated into better pictures and an enjoyable experience. On our wedding day she was able to keep the bridal party, groomsmen and family members entertained. She kept everyone focused and organized. She managed to capture all of the important moments that day, which is the true mark of a great photographer. Thanks to Ashley, we have a large, beautiful collection of photographs that captured all the joy of the most momentous occasion of our lives. We can’t wait to see her again for our family portraits

Working with Ashley was an absolute dream - she listened to what we wanted, helped give input in timeline and shooting locations, and worked really well with our videographer. Our wedding day was FREEZING cold, and Ashley was a complete champ about it. She was efficient with our time, managed our group like a pro so we didn’t have to stand outside in the freezing rain, and still captured all the photos that completely took my breathe away. Our wedding pictures were the most important thing to us when selecting vendors, and i would choose Ashley again and again!

Bri + Matt

We loved having Ashley as our photographer! I had seen photos taken by Ashley on social media and when searching for a photographer I always kept coming back to her. Ashley shot our engagements and wedding and is absolutely the most fun! She made us feel very comfortable from the beginning and we couldn’t stop laughing at the engagement session - it was just a blast! She is so sweet, authentic and fun to be around. We feel so blessed to have had such a great experience and love all our photos.

Hannah + Landon

I cannot express with words how incredible of a job Ashley did on our engagement and wedding photos! For our engagement photos she met us at this really cool area and we had so much fun. She made us feel so comfortable and kept us laughing the whole time! For our wedding, one of the most important days of our lives, Ashley was fantastic to work with. She captured everything exactly how I wanted and great ideas on different shots. She was great working with all of our families and friends! Her eye for detail is incredible and knows exactly what looks good for you and your man. All of her pictures belong on Pinterest or in a magazine. I cannot wait until the next time I get to work with Ashley again and see her incredible work. For future brides just save yourself some time and stress and book Ashley.

Our journey together as an engaged couple began with Ashley capturing some of our most special moments. She is very personable and created an experience so real and comfortable for us as we took the photos at our stable. She worked so well with not just us but the horses too! The edits were done so quickly and beautifully and we could not have been more pleased. Actually some of the shots Ashley got were “so in the moment” that i hardly remembered taking some of them. The way she captured them made the pictures look so natural and caught our real selves.

Thank you Ashley for the beautiful work! We can’t wait for the bridals and the wedding!!!

The most important thing for us was to find a photographer. We wanted pictures that we could reflect on for the rest of our life and remember all the joy we shared on our special day. Ashley Gillen was the FIRST phone call I made, and we could not have made a better choice. Ashley is so fun to work with, so creative and extremely talented. She captured our memories so perfectly, and I could not tell you how many compliments we have received. If you are looking for a dream wedding photographer, you’ve found her!

Summer + Blake

I’m going to start by saying if you’re thinking about booking Ashley don’t hesitate. By far one of the best photographers! Every time I look t my photos (which is probably like every day lol) I get butterflies and wish I could just do it all over again! There was not one moment missed! She captured every memory so perfectly! If I had the option of her following me around for my whole life I would. I also did bridals, engagements and boudoirs. I have to say doing boudoirs I was so nervous and didn’t know what to expect. Ashley made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Our engagements were no different. I swear every picture was perfect. Everything was such a breeze! My husband couldn’t of asked for anyone better, he actually said he had fun!! Thank you so much Ashley for putting your time and effort into all this! It’s much appreciated.

We planned this wedding so quickly that I remember holding my breathe after emailing Ashley, praying that she would be available on such short notice, AND internally freaked out because I’ve always known that I ONLY wanted Ashley Gillen to photograph our wedding. I had never even put a thought into what I would do if she wasn’t available. This sweet, talented lady was willing to come out on Christmas weekend to photograph our wedding. Our photos were everything I could have asked for and more and she made the experience so fun and comfortable.

Thank you so much Ashley for such perfect memories from our special day. No one could have captured the emotion like you

Katy + Colby

I cannot compliment Ashley Gillen enough. Not only is she an amazing photographer ( who is absolutely HILARIOUS) but her and her husband Andy truly represent what love is all about. I seriously can’t thank Ashley enough. Yes, we absolutely loved our pictures, but we what we loved most was how much Ashley genuinely cared about what was important to us and how kind and patient she was through out our entire process.

Thank you Ashley!

We had already decided that we wanted Ashley to be our photographer from the moment we started planning. We knew that she was the best (just go look), but what we did not know until meeting her is that Ashley’s personality is just as awesome as her work! She made shooting feel natural and made everything fun. We are so happy we found Ashley to capture our day!

ASHLEY IS AMAZING! When I started planning my wedding the most important part of ours was the pictures. I went form website to website of wedding photographers in the Houston area and couldn’t decide. Then I came across Ashley’s and it was a done deal. Not only are her pictures absolutely beautiful but she is the most amazing person and makes you feel so comfortable! I know we will be using her int he future! I would recommend Ashley 100 times over again.

Thank you so much Ashley for the most amazing experience and the most beautiful pictures. WE LOVE YOU ASHLEY!!!
