About Field & Found
I have always been drawn to the moments that happen quietly.
The hand resting on your shoulder before you walk down the aisle. The grandparent watching from across the room. The friend who knows exactly when to make you laugh. The people who gather close when words are not enough.
To me, these are not background moments.
They are the heart of the wedding day.
Field & Found was created from the belief that beautiful wedding imagery begins with presence — with paying attention to the relationships, rhythms, and fleeting exchanges that make a celebration feel deeply personal.
My approach is calm, observant, and gently guided when needed. I want you to feel cared for, never rushed; beautifully photographed, never overly posed; fully present, never pulled away from the people you love most.
Because years from now, I hope your photographs do more than remind you what your wedding looked like.
I hope they bring you back to the feeling of being surrounded, known, and completely at home.
I'm so glad you're here
Hey friend, I'm ash
I’m a wedding photographer, lifelong observer, book lover, dog enthusiast, and the kind of person who believes the best conversations happen when people feel invited to pull up a chair and stay awhile.
Before I ever picked up a camera professionally, I was drawn to people — their stories, their histories, the way they love, gather, grieve, celebrate, and become family to one another. That curiosity has shaped both my life and my work.
On a wedding day, I’m looking for more than beautiful portraits, though we’ll absolutely make space for those. I’m watching for the moments that hold everything together: the friend fixing your veil, the grandparent watching quietly from the back row, the laughter that starts at one end of the table and somehow carries through the whole room.
My approach is calm, attentive, and rooted in care. I’ll guide you when direction helps you feel at ease, and I’ll step back when the moment needs room to become honest on its own.
Because your wedding is not a performance.
It is a gathering of the people who made you who you are — and the beginning of a new story you’ll keep building for the rest of your life.
My hope is that working with me feels like being welcomed in, cared for, and fully seen.
I’m Ashley
the photographer behind Field & Found.
When we celebrate love, it is not the material things or perfectly matching tablecloths and napkins that define the day. Instead, it is the laughter, the tears of joy, and the heartfelt expressions of affection that make a wedding an unforgettable celebration of love.
Why photos should matter to you too.
I'm a storyteller
Not everyone can look back and pinpoint one life-altering event that drives their career. Mine was losing my mom. Losing a parent is a major loss in anyone's life, but losing my mom has had a particular effect on how I photograph you and your wedding day.
I have a very vivid memory of my mom filming from the bushes as my husband proposed. (She was a big part of the day and it's a great story. Ask me about it some time!) I had never given much thought to the specifics of my wedding day, but I did have an idea of what it would be like to plan my wedding with my mom. Dress shopping, pictures of venues, spending time with her in the morning. But life never goes as planned. My mom passed in August of 2016, about 4 months before my own wedding day.
Instead of feeling the full scope of joy in the days before my wedding, I was in the beginning stages of grief. Her loss was felt especially deep at the times that she would have otherwise been there. For me, that was dress shopping and the morning of the wedding.
Do you want to know a secret? Missing my mom is not one of the core memories surrounding the wedding. My core memories are my grandmother and aunt driving from out of state to take me dress shopping and celebrate with me. On the morning of my wedding, I snuck downstairs to have my "I miss my mom" cry (before my makeup was done, of course). One of my core memories is feeling the arms of my husband's aunt wrap around me and wordlessly hold me through it. After the tears, my mom's wife Facetimed me from overseas to tell me how much she knew my mom would be proud of me. One of my sisters played the piano while we were getting ready, which calmed my anxiety more than she knew. My mother in-love stepped into so many of the tender moments when I was missing my own mom. Those are the memories that I hold most dear from my wedding day. Those are the photographs that mean the most to me. And those are the moments that I promise to photograph for you.
I have had the deep honor of being trusted with couple's loved ones first breaths and last moments. I have photographed vows exchanged over a hospice bed and last photos of grandparents. Your wedding day is so much more than a set of magazine worthy photos (don't worry, we'll get those too!), and photography is so much more than a job to me.
Every wedding is captured with intention.
