Hi, Ashleigh here...
I am a wedding and family photographer based in Vermont. The camera found me in my tender years as a teen and almost instantly, it became the pulse of my life—not just as a tool for seeing, but for making sense of things. I am not very good with words and writing (though I try, desperately) but I sure do respond deeply to things that move me. A camera in my hands has offered me a means of expression that no other medium has been able to unlock.
I believe in poetics and the raw honesty of a lived moment and my work has always been a practice in trying to hold both at once. I shoot a lot of film because it supports this search. It is sensitive and nostalgic (much like myself), and with the varying film and camera pairings, it offers a multitude of ways to see the world—something that also suits my creative curiosity. In short: I’m obsessed
Alongside weddings, I work on long-form projects and make photographs of my family—to anchor memories that so often slip from me, and because future Ashleigh is continually aching to return to the past. So, I know what is at stake, and I serve each client with the same intention, tenderness, and care as I do with my kids running through sprinklers, self-portraits with my mother, or the way little footprints mark a sidewalk.
If you value photos that feel like memories, and are drawn to the soulfulness of film, I’d be honored to tell your story.
