TIMELESS & PLAYFUL WEDDING IMAGERY

tennessee digital & 35mm film wedding photograrpher

Thank you for swinging by and checking out my page! You are so welcome here. Let's put our brains together and dream of something spectacular for your session, wedding, elopement, or whatever it is. I am inspired by you! If that means smashing a pizza at your favorite restaurant or skipping by the movies for the film lovers, I love dreaming up of something unique to YOU.

I specialize in couples and elopements with some hints of fun portrait sessions. We would be a fantastic match if you are EXCITED about photos that are unique that shy away from the mushy-gushy all-smiling sessions! I thrive in witnessing warm, dramatic feelings and I hope my photos reflect that. People are usually classified as light and airy or dark and moody, but I would say I am a little in the middle. My photos are usually a little more true to tone yet warm and affectionate. If you see yourself in my photos, let's be friends. 

I will go wherever you will go. Thinking about having a rad session in the Smoky Mountains or on the coasts of California? I say, let's do it. 


If a 90s rom-com and an old love letter had a baby, it’d be this little corner of the internet.

I’m Ashlyn—your wedding photographer, professional third wheel, and the one who will tear up behind the camera when you say, “I do.” 

I believe wedding photos should be the perfect mix of timeless and playful—a little editorial, a little spontaneous, and full of main character energy. Think: black-and-white portraits that belong in Vogue, golden-hour candids that give you butterflies, and stolen glances that feel straight out of your favorite rom-com. If your vibe is quirky and fun or elegant and refined (or, let’s be real, a little of both), I’m here to capture every second.

Whether you're throwing a black-tie affair with champagne towers and chandeliers or dancing barefoot under twinkle lights, I’ll be there—camera in hand, ready to turn your love story into something unforgettable.

Serving couples in Knoxville, TN + beyond. I specialize in wedding photography with some hints of creative portraits.

To all my Anti-Brides desperately wanting to branch out from the mainstream predictable / “light and airy” / posed wedding photography but don’t know where to begin.. 

…you have found the photographer you’ve been praying for. 

I can’t imagine what my wedding would have been like had Ashlyn not been our photographer. Aside from being an awesome human who help will keep you CALM (something brides-to-be don’t often consider when booking their photographer), collected, and confident on the day of, Ashlyn is ahead of the game when it comes to wedding photography. She knows how to get the most intimate, fun, candid, yet old-Hollywood, Vogue magazine-style shots that are personal to you and your S/O! I’m so excited to see her future photography work as well. 

You’re so gifted Ashlyn! Thank you thank you thank you dear friend for making the 8 hour drive. We love you!

1000/10 recommend Ashlyn for your photo wants and needs! She is absolutely INCREDIBLE! She made me feel so comfortable, never put any pressure on me, and was so encouraging during the most special, yes nerve wracking day of my life! Wedding day was my first time meeting her in person (we had talked over the phone a couple times) and it felt like a friendship I had had for a while! She is so sweet and SO talented. Every photo she captured was perfect. She got all of the good candids, and all of the classic wedding photos you want. She does a perfect job at taking your vision and bringing it to life. Also, she made sure to always give me a timeline update on what is next and how I was doing, which made my life so much easier because I didn’t have to think about “what’s next” during the day. We got back over 1,000 pictures too which is absolutely insane! My husband and I are so happy with her work and will always recommend her for wedding and engagement photos. I just love her!
