Capturing the magic in life.

Photographer and fine artist inspired by the magic of love, fantasy, and the ethereal.

Based in Richmond, VA

Welcome to my secret garden

I’m Ashton—a photographer, fine artist, and fantasy nerd dedicated to capturing the magic and beauty of love. Inspired by the artistry of cinema, my work tells your stories through photographs reminiscent of stills from a film.

While I’ve spent a lot of my time photographing portraits of individuals, I always find myself most captivated by romance and the raw emotion of intimate weddings. As someone who had an unconventional wedding herself, I know how important it is for couples to feel as little pressure as possible on their big day.

The main focus of your wedding should be you, your partner, and the beginning of this new chapter in your lives together. Whether you want me to join you for your elopement/intimate wedding or you’re just looking for someone to document your love, I want you to feel like the focal point. Together, we’ll tell your story in a way that feels genuine and true to you.
