your insanely trusted confidant

a hopeless romantic and 

Hey ya’ll! I’m Ashton Steele, your expert wedding & portrait photographer and future best friend (seriously, I’ve met some of my closest friends this way). When I photograph your big moment, I think 50 years into the future. Real people and honest moments are what create incredible photographs that speak through time. A certified Texan through and through, I’m down-to-earth, kind-hearted and truly care about you and your big day – so much that I’ve had many couples come back after their engagement shoot for their wedding, and then for alllll their maternity shoots and family portraits (yep, I do that too)! When it comes to wedding photographers, I say: get someone who’s honest, real and insanely supportive (because you’ll need all the support you can get on your big day!) And you can trust me when I say, I’m your girl. 

Ready to gain a bestie that will always be there to capture the big moments?

some of my favorite things:

captured my first wedding and fell in love with documenting love stories

mar 2017

Dipped my toes in the water by starting a photography business photographing my friends senior portraits 

apr 2016

My freshman year of high school I traveled abroad to London, taking in the sights and sounds of cobblestone streets, iconic brownstones and a cloud-filled sky – and it blew my humble little Texas heart wide open. I documented everything on my camera, and I’ve been hooked ever since

Born just before midnight in Lubbock, Texas (I’m convinced this is why I’m a night owl) 

nov. 1993

5 years after getting into the wedding industry, 6 years after diving into an unknown journey and 12 years after that trip to London, and more than 20 weddings later, launched a rebrand of my business!

My journey

"We are so impressed and will continue to use her!”

“We absolutely love our photos Ashton has captured for us to forever cherish! We hired Ashton for our Happily Ever After Reception and family photos and they could not have turned out any better! They are very authentic and not over corrected at all. We have received so many compliments on how our pics came out. We are so impressed and will continue to use her!”

- Breanna Doolin

"Ashton blew us away on our wedding day."

“Hire. Ashton. Steele. Ashton initially captured my proposal, and although we had never previously met, she instantly made me feel so comfortable in such an exciting and emotional moment. Ashton blew us away on our wedding day. If you want a collaborator, a professional, a great listener, a passionate creative, hire Ashton Steele, I promise you won't regret it.”

- Hannah Bressler

"We absolutely LOVED our engagement pictures."

"Ashton is incredible!! Not only is she an extremely gifted photographer, she is also one of the kindest people you will ever meet. We absolutely LOVED our engagement pictures and are looking forward to having her capture future milestones. We cannot recommend her enough!”

- Kenzie Horvath  

"Ashton made the experience comfortable and so fun."

“I could not have asked for a better wedding photographer and friend! Ashton made the experience comfortable and so fun throughout the engagement, bridals, boudoir, and wedding photography. The photo albums were all so beautiful and made us feel like works of art. We are so grateful!”
