We believe that beautiful moments should be captured, treasured, and kept forever.
When I was little and we would visit my grandparents. One of my favorite things to do was to look through old photo albums and boxes of old photographs. It was always surreal to me to see pictures of my grandparents in their younger days.
I remember laughing at their funny clothes and their crazy hair. I remember looking at pictures of my grandmother in awe at how beautiful she was. She was like one of the models from Coca Cola. She was stunning. I also remember looking through their wedding photos. They didn't have many but what they did have were beautiful.
Through these photo albums I watched their love grow and they created a family and a life together.
These pictures were special. They were special not because of the photographer who took them but because the story they told. They were memories that became tangible to their children and grandchildren. These old photographs are priceless and carry on the legacy of our family. The legacy of love and commitment.
Our goal is to create timeless tangible memories so that not only you can enjoy but your children and grandchildren can have a peek into what started it all.
Ashley
Hey there! I'm Ashley, your go-to gal behind Luke and Ashley Photography, where I capture life's best moments alongside my better half (and unofficial fourth child), Luke. Before I was framing your unforgettable moments, I served in the Air Force, which taught me a thing or two about precision and dedication.
But let's be real, my life isn't all about the perfect shot.
When my camera's off, I'm a super mom on the go, juggling three kiddos, three dogs (including my snuggle-buddy golden retriever), and more house projects than I can count on both hands.
Weddings? Oh, I live for them! Each one gives me a chance to meet amazing people and be a part of their special day. And yes, I'm that photographer who always cries during the father/daughter and mother/son dances—every. single. time. So, if you're looking for someone to capture the heart and soul of your big day (or any day), I'm your girl. Let's make memories!
Meet your Photographers
Luke
I'm Luke, the laid-back half of our photography team, often found laughing and keeping things chill. Some say I'm so relaxed, you'd hardly notice I'm working—but trust me, I am. I have a knack for blending into the celebration, making sure everything's captured perfectly while keeping everyone smiling.
Moms give me thumbs up for my cool demeanor, and the wedding party loves the easy-going vibe I bring. My job? To lighten the mood, ensure no one feels the day's pressure, and secretly work my magic so the photos turn out just right. So, if you see me cracking jokes and making the day seem like a breeze, know that I'm doing exactly what I'm there to do—making your memories last while keeping it all fun.

"Every heart-stopping moment captured, for we treasure your love story as if it were our own."
About Us
We are dreamers
We like to dream big and take that philosophy into our work. Married in a little room in Anchorage, Alaska, we had no idea what the future would hold. This life has been such an adventure and in the grand scheme of things, it is just still the beginning. Let us capture your beginning.
We Do Family
Our photography business started because of family. Our three kids were the inspiration to pick up the camera and bring the story of love to life. In our earlier days, we’d bring our kids to the shoot so they could watch mom and dad hard at work capturing modern love stories.
We Love Working Together
We are a true power couple. On wedding days Ashley hangs out with the girls and Luke hangs out with the guys so every special moment is captured. At the ceremony, we come back together to capture multiple angles and encapsulate this special moment for a lifetime.
We Are Committed
With three kids at home and a bustling photography business we still never lose sight of our customers. All responsibilities slip away when we get behind the camera and you become our priority.
