Ashley Bee Photography

Ashley and Jason are simply amazing!!! They made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which is totally not my husbands thing. Their photos are works of art and every single picture was stunning! They are extremely professional and so sweet. Such a talented team and I would recommend Ashley Bee to everyone!

We are SO happy that we chose Ashley and Jay to photograph our wedding. They are absolutely wonderful to work with and we LOVE our pictures! Ashley and Jay had amazing energy the day-​of and were so much fun to have around throughout the whole day/​night. Working with Ashley Bee Photography was one of the best wedding decisions we made and would highly recommend them!

5 Stars for Ashley and her husband! My sister in law got married in beautiful Temecula this past Saturday and hired Ashley to be her photographer. My sister in law told me that she really liked the photos on Ashley’s website and knew she would get some great shots of her wedding.
Well on the morning of my sister in law’s wedding, Ashley came on time to my sister in law’s hotel room (where I was getting my hair and make up ready, along with the other bridesmaid and my sister in law). The room was a little bit crowded with 2 make up artists and the mother of the groom and flower girl, but Ashley made it work and started snapping away to capture each moment.
Her husband, Jason, met the groom and his groomsmen down in another part of the hotel area. Then eventually when all the women got done with their make up and hair, Ashley followed us to the church. Ashley and Jason were pretty much with us every step of the way (when we made our way to the bridal suite, for the 1^st look photos between the bride and groom, the church for the ceremony, the reception and bridal & groom party photos).
Ashley and Jason were very friendly and always smiling every time I saw them. A few things I want to mention that I truly appreciate about them is that they took my request to try to stay out of the sun as much as possible to heart. I am incredibly pale (I am quite pigment challenged let’s just say) and burn very easy (and yes even with SPF on). I told both of them that I will have to stay in the shade until it is time to take photos if they are out in the sun. They were really good in taking most of the photos in the shade (and when there were photos in the light, I was put in an area with less sun).
The other thing that really impressed me about this husband and wife team is that they were working so diligently during part the reception while guests were eating (so they were not missing any action that needed to be photographed) editing some of the photos they took for the day. Then later towards the end of the wedding, Ashley had her laptop displayed showing a loop of photos that were taken from the day. The photo of the bridal/​groom party in the shade came out great (and me without having to burn in the sun). I loved looking at all the photos and was surprised that a photographer would do this (as I have never seen a wedding photographer ever doing that). That alone deserves an extra star for their efforts.
I also want to mention that they both got along just fine with the other vendors at my sister in law’s wedding. They also were really helpful in carrying things for the bride and bridal party (they just volunteered to help hold bouquets, wedding veil and dress, etc).
If I was ever to get married in Temecula (I already am married and never plan to do that again because planning my wedding was just so stressful), I would not hesitate to hire Ashley and her husband to capture my special day.

Ashley is THE best. She makes it so fun. She shot our elopement photos in July, 2013 and our pregnancy announcement photos last month. We loved them!

I had the pleasure of working with Ashley for several photoshoots and she is one of my favorite photographers! She’s easy to work with, great personality, makes you feel comfortable (which is very important when you feel awkward in front of the camera), professional and most importantly, a great photographer!

Where can I start. I imagined that my wedding pictures would be the highlight of my day, after a year of planning and so much work was put into my wedding. I cry almost daily, when I think of how BAD my pictures came out. To start the engagement photo session was a disaster. She was late, and after we got the pictures, they were horrible! I expressed my concerns about her techniques and she offered to do another session. We were not thrilled about having to do this, and my husband had no desire. My husband tried to convince me multiple times to cancel her but my father had already paid her half of the full amount, which was nearly $ 3800!!!(oh and no wedding album) We were
husband finally said to me, well, she can’t mess up wedding photos can she? That’s her living… Well little did he know. They now sit in a file in my computer. I wish I knew before my wedding that she was unable to take decent pictures at night time!
She never came to meet us at the walk through, so she had no idea where to take pictures, and it showed in the photos later on. I’m paying $ 4000(and 2 steak meals) and you can’t come to a walk through? Very unprofessional.
The day of the wedding she showed up late to my getting ready, took pictures of half eaten food, then took my dress and flowers outside to find places to take picture while we all got ready– still photos were ok, except she use the DEPTH Of FIELD in every picture!!!
Meanwhile, she missed good pictures of my mother, my girls and myself getting ready. Who doesn’t take a picture of the mom and the daughter getting ready???
OH… And not one picture of me alone with a beautiful background in my dress!!! Not one!!! Who doesn’t know the basics???
I later find out her husband (who take pretty decent pictures) took great pictures of my husband and his men. Thank god for something, but who’s business is this???
He actually brought them downstairs in a secret location to take some interesting pic.
Ashely… Oh no. She only brought us to my wedding area, so every guest saw me before the wedding, and people were stopping us so much that we finally had to go back up stairs. She has NO BACKBONE to tell people to get out of the shot!!! There weren’t any interesting cute pics of my girls except the typical walk toward me in the grass…(over and over) of course none of these worked out, we are all in HEELS and I have a train!!! And with my parents, no variety. Same back ground for every picture. She was concerned we were ‘losing the sunlight’
I finally told her how unhappy I was, that she wasn’t taking any pictures of me so she grabbed a chair and sat me in it and tried to take pictures… I was like this isn’t working… Her response… we can do those pictures another day???
huh??? This is my ONLY wedding day??? I’m not going to rent another tux, get my makeup and hair done again so you can take a picture of me!!! You are crazy!!! You are supposed to be a professional… Take pictures! I finally told her to st
During the wedding… again what over use of depth of field (where you focus on something and everything else is blurry)
And most pictures had some awful background distraction (ex, my father and I walking down the isle with my DJ right in the pic!!! Pick a different angle!!!
No exchanging of rings pics.
None of my father and randy shaking hands and sending me off.
Then after the wedding, NO pictures of…
My husband and I sitting at our sweetheart table,
my father and I dancing our dance,
cake tasting… Nope. None of these facing the camera. She was behind us??? what???
The pictures of my husband and I– oh his tux jacket was showing his white shirt and SHe NeVeR SAiD ANyTHing!!! Why would you look at the bride and groom and try to fit his jacket, or her hair, or something!!! My husband is no unhappy about it, so strange to him that someone that gets paid this much doesn’t have an EYE for this type of problem!!!
At night time…
Its as if she got a new lens and didn’t know how to use it at night. Only 3 couples pictures where taken all day. I had 70 guest. The reception room had a low ceiling and she didn’t alter her angle to take a picture without the drop ceiling in ever picture. I purposely wanted to have a intimate setting in my reception room with nothing but candles, she made the venue leave the lights on when we entered to get better pictures!!! What??? I dance to my first dance with my husband with all the lights on! Very romantic.
To end, I had to call her 3 weeks after my wedding to find out white my pictures were… oh I’m still working on them…
I sent her the most tearful letter when I received them.
She said she felt awful, but it was too late. My wedding day pics were horrible!
I told her I wanted some money back and I never heard from her again… Go figure. Very professional.

I originally booked a different photographer for my wedding on August 9^th but he had to cancel due to a heartbreaking medical diagnosis a few months prior to our wedding date. He referred me to Ashley and I fell in love with her work at first glance. Warm, rich color, with vintage-​y, beautiful lighting. Gorgeous. But it was her welcoming demeanor and true interest in MY wedding calmed my jittery wedding nerves immediately. I was sold!
Our first face-​to-​face interaction with Ashley was at our engagement photo session (which we rescheduled at least 5 times because of my crazy schedule). She was so accommodating and made my shy husband feel comfortable during the shoot (I am anything BUT shy!)
Our wedding day was perfect but like everyone says– flew by so fast. I am so grateful that we have such beautiful photos to help us remember our special day. A few weeks prior to the wedding, Ashley had us fill out a pre-​wedding questionnaire that allowed us to be specific as to which photos were «must-​haves» and which photos they could skip out on. We chose a more candid approach, and I’m glad we did! It was so fun going through all of the photos!
Ashley and her husband must have snapped thousands of photos during our wedding because they literally got every shot that we wanted– and from multiple angles, too! The shots that were important to me were all of the detail shots (the dress, the flowers, the shoes!)
Since Ashley and Jay are a husband and wife team, I found myself going to them for advice during the wedding. «Is it okay for us to eat now, or should we walk around and say our thank you’s?!» Their advice and (I think I already mentioned it but it’s worth mentioning again – ) calm demeanor really made us feel comfortable and allowed us to enjoy our wedding day that much more.
About a month after the wedding, Ashley posted our photos on an online photo album for viewing. The website was very user-​friendly and fun to share with our family and friends. It allows you to download individual photos or the entire album, share on social networking pages, and order prints!
Ashley and Jay– if you are reading this– thank you again for all of your hard work, time, patience, and love that you put into your photography. We are so thankful that you were our photographers on the most important day of our lives! Keep in touch!

I love Ashley and her husband!!! They are an amazing team. Our engagement picture turned out wonderful. We were so happy with them:)

Ashley is utterly amazing. She has a skill I am in awe of every time she takes our photos. Besides being an absolute sweetie she has a talent unmatched in our area. I have found the only photographer that I trust to take my photos.

We had the pleasure of having Ashley and her husband Jay photograph our engagement photos and wedding day, and I couldn’t be happier! I found Ashley because she also photographed a friend’s wedding and I was so amazed with her photos that I had to hire her. We instantly clicked at our first meeting in their studio in Temecula. Ashely was always quick at responding to my questions and made sure to keep in touch up until the wedding… even if it was just to «check in.» On our BIG day, I couldn’t believe how organized she kept us to get all the photos that we wanted in… and to top it all off, VERY pregnant too! She maintained so professional, and I kept wondering, «How can she stand on her feet this whole day?!» But she managed, with no complaints… always smiling and making sure to tell me what a beautiful bride I was! Just what a bride wants to hear!
My husband and I went on our honeymoon, and had a great surprise when we got back: our photos were ready! We loved re-​living our special day, and with Ashley’s fantastic, easy-​to-​use interface she uses to share photos, we were able to share our photos with family and friends as well. In fact, all communication, from the contract to questionnaires, was all done online, which was very convenient since we live in the LA area. Don’t worry if you’re wedding is not in the San Diego/​Temecula area. Our wedding was in Westlake Village, near Ventura County.
The only thing would be that she can be quite pricey if you’re on a budget, but the photos that you get are really of value, especially with other comparable photographers. Photography is definitely one of the main costs of a wedding, and I’ve learned that you get what you pay for. So, go ahead and splurge! Hire Ashley and you won’t regret it!

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? Ashley Bee Photography is the best. Ashley and Jay are amazingly talented people, with an eye for beauty and the ability to make their work look easy. My wife and I used them for both our engagement and wedding photos, and I can honestly say that Ashley and Jay made our whole wedding experience better. They focus on the important details that really stand out in shots, but they do it without forcing the mood. Whether it’s catering to your own vision or providing their own guidance on a shoot, they deliver a far better product than you may expect from their reasonable prices. We are so happy with our photographs that captured the day perfectly — thanks Ashley Bee!

Ashley Bee was the photographer for my January 2013 wedding. She, and her hubby Jay, did a wonderful job and produced lovely pictures of our special day. She captured beautiful moments and made me and my fiancé feel at ease in the process. Her prices were competitive and she was fast at providing the pictures after the wedding. I would definitely recommend her!

Ashley Bee Photography is honestly the best! The couple that takes the photos are kind, personable, easily-​relatable, and flat out fun! They make you feel very comfortable and relaxed, and always find a way to make you feel special. I have had numerous experiences working along-​side of them (doing the hair for some photo shoots), and also been the model. From both stand points, i have had wonderful experiences. They also do really well with children. I would never go anywhere else for photography. Not just the fact that they are great people, the photos that they shoot are unreal! They are very creative and imaginative in the way that they shoot. It is always really unique and fresh. I would recommend this company to anyone I know.
