Hi, I'm Ashley Joanna!

New Jersey-based documentary digital + film wedding photographer

A lover of music, nature and adventure.

From hiking above the Arctic Circle to diving in the Pacific... I’ve photographed people across Australia, Asia, South America and Europe using my camera as a way to connect with people and experience the places I visit.

I’m truly honored you’re considering me as your wedding photographer! With more than a decade in the wedding industry, I’ve documented hundreds of celebrations worldwide from large-scale luxury weddings to intimate two-person elopements.

My approach is relaxed and focused on documenting your story as it naturally unfolds.

The best photographs come from genuine collaboration and together we’ll create images that feel honest and heartfelt. I’m always grateful for the chance to tell a love story. Just be yourself and I’ll take care of the rest.

Planning a celebration in the tri-state area or beyond? Let’s check your date!
