Ashley and Wide Eyed Studios gave us something we couldn't find anywhere else. They were able to capture the totality of our destination wedding experience. On top of that Ashley and Rebecca were able to take the pressure off of couples portraits before the wedding by creating a unique, intimate, striking, outdoor day-after location shoot. This allowed us to enjoy the run up to our wedding with minimal disruptions and gave us a portrait shoot that exceeded our expectations. Having Wide Eyed Studios with us during our entire destination event helped us authentically capture all of the fun moments we had with our friends and family leading up to the wedding. They were able to capture so much more than I had expected, and we now have so much more to look back on with incredible photos. With all of the amazing imagery that was captured, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception got even more love. The comfort level that was already gained with Ashley having been integrated with the group upleveled all of the content that was captured on wedding day. We are so thankful for all of the moments that were captured. Overall, the entire experience with Ashely and Wide Eyed Studios was so meaningful to us. They felt more a part of our celebration than a vendor we hired to support it. We couldn't have asked for anything more and the pictures we received still make us shake our heads with disbelief. Thank you, Ashley and Wide Eyed Studios for making our destination wedding the best it could possibly be.

We had our wedding at the club our families are members of in Rockville, MD. Prior to our wedding, we had worked with her to make sure our day would run smoothly, that there would be enough time for all the photos we wanted and of course that the entire day was covered. Jennifer was great! We did not need an engagement session, so we hadn't met, other than on zoom and via phone calls, prior to our wedding day. But you wouldn't have known it. She really did her research, took time to get to know us, what we liked and didn't like, and crafted a beautiful album for us and our families. She made sure that every image we took was what we wanted before moving on to other poses or group shots. She really made us feel like old, cherished friends and we invited her to stay after her time was up to enjoy the party and celebrate with us! We truly appreciate all her hard work, dedication and cannot wait to see her again soon for our maternity pictures! If she has your date available, don't hesitate, just book her, you will not regret it!

As we grow up, we realize how priceless photos are and how quality pictures become prized possessions. It's a moment in time you can forever look back on. It's easy to take pictures, but it's hard to capture moments. I'll love making magic with you, because everyone has some magic in them that deserves to be celebrated.

Absolutely thrilled with our experience with AJS Photography! While my spouse wasn't initially keen on the idea of having engagement photos taken, Abby made us both feel at ease and captured genuine, candid moments (even in freezing temperatures). During our meeting before the big day, we mentioned to Abby that we wanted our photos to feel genuine, romantic, and fun! Abby captured every detail, emotion, and memory on our wedding day! On our big day, Abby was our hype woman and major helper. We loved taking home poloroids thanks to Abby from our engagement session and our wedding day. Abby walked into a low-lit venue she had never seen in person and still delivered unique and stunning wedding photos that exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend for couples with varying preferences - Abby delivers magic for everyone!

For as long as I can remember, I've loved being in the kitchen, and have been told that I remind people of my grandma, Mazie, who passed from cancer when my dad was young. While I've spent more hours than most in the kitchen (often at odd hours), my career led me in another direction. However, I've repeatedly been told "you should open a bakery!" Through years of education, baking has been my therapy, and brought happiness to my colleagues' stomaches as well. After being diagnosed with cancer at a young age myself, I've realized the importance of pursuing your passions, and with the support of my family, I pursued baking as a second job.

I am so thrilled I found Nicole for my go-to cookie artist! As a wedding photographer, I know a great artist when I see one and I am never disappointed in Nicole's abilities to bring my ideas to life. Not only is her execution amazing but so is her attention to detail. From her individual cookie packaging to her sturdy cake boxes I am always impressed with her delivery. Although I frequent her services for cookies she also does amazing cakes and other baked goods, what more could you ask for!

Photographer based out of NH, but ready to go anywhere! I shoot weddings, engagements, and elopements. I'm happy to help you build your wedding day timeline as I understand it can be confusing how long photos can take/ what time of day is best to take them!

Sierra is the most professional and talented photographer I know. She has helped me market my business with beautiful images, and is extremely fun to work with! She photographed my husband and I's engagement and wedding, and will be doing our pregnancy announcement photos on Sunday. In addition, she has photographed my brother and his wife's wedding, and everything I have seen her produce is absolutely gorgeous. She truly captures every special moment and I am always blown away by her work. Would highly recommend to everyone!
