  Grind & Press is a personal wedding photography experience. It's a laid back and comfortable approach, without giving up the professionalism and experience.

  My wedding photography style is balanced. I love capturing moments as they happen but I also know it's important to provide the right amount of direction at times. I'm very laid back and I don't want the day to feel staged but I know when to be assertive and to make sure the moments flow so couples get the most from their photography.
  I love photographing weddings because they're awesome! The energy of the day is always exciting and inspiring. There are so many organic and emotional moments to capture, some of which the bride and groom may not see until they look at their photos. There are also endless opportunities for creativity- what more can a photographer ask for?
  Let's put it this way- I'm 50% yoga, 50% Wu Tang. I love a good cup of coffee (hence the name!) at home but I also love a good band at a good brewery. I'm all about keeping it local to this amazing area we live in, and at the same time I love to travel! Call it indecisive, call it balance- it's what works for me!
  I've been told it's the personal relationship and level of comfort I develop with my clients. I never want photography to be stressful, especially on a wedding day.
  Wedding packages start at $1,200. I also offer custom packages and a la carte options. Please contact me for more information!

Ashley went above and beyond on the wedding day and seemed like she managed to be in two places at once. We have so many amazing prints now that we can't decide which to use." -Shannon and Justin | Pineapple Inspired Tropical Clearwater Beach Wedding
  "I wanted non-traditional photography coverage, more focused on the storytelling and candid moments of the experience versus posed portraits. Grind & Press Photography nailed it! I love, love, love Ashley's work: from the emotional storytelling and sweet moments only she can capture, to the way she supports her clients and sticks to timelines, yet also goes with the flow. The photos are one of my favorite things from our entire wedding because they highlight only the very best moments from it all, and I've loved being able to look back at them over and over and over again." -Varuni and Matthew | Modern Multi-Cultural Indian Wedding
