A Winter Couples Session at The Rochester Hotel

This winter couples session with Annie and Jake was phenomenal. Not only are these two stunning human beings, but they’re also some of the warmest and kindest I’ve ever met. It was a real honor to photograph these two on a cold winter day at The Rochester Hotel.

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."

I’m Ashley Joyce. I’m so glad you’re here.

I believe in creating artistic and meaningful tangible memories for my clients in the form of film and digital photographs. I believe that art and beauty are all around us – in the mundane, the repetitive, the quiet, the unnoticed. It’s absolutely everywhere and I want to capture as much of as I can, especially for my clients like yourself.

I went to school for art and photography and through my studies, I learned to pay attention to my surroundings with a quiet, contemplative eye. I saw angles, shadows, peaks of light, poetic forms that made my heart ache with beauty – things that maybe the average eye might have missed. That’s how I will approach your wedding, elopement, or couples session – with a creative, contemplative eye and a heartfelt expression to tell your story as beautifully as possible.

Your wedding day, engagement session, and portrait session deserve to be immortalized. Every day is fleeting and your memories should be preserved for years to come. That’s why I do what I do – to make sure these passing days are not forgotten, to remind ourselves of the love and beauty that are all around us, and to ensure that your treasured memories are enshrined forever.

—  Eden Ahbez

I will photograph

the REAL you.

As my client, you can be sure that I’ll photograph the genuine you and nothing less. Because in the end, your story deserves to be told in the form of tangible, beautiful, and timeless photographs.
