"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 create 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. Beauty and love are absolutely everywhere and I want to capture as much of it as I can, especially for discerning 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 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 ensure 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.

My strength as your photographer lies in my ability to effortlessly document your day without intrusion. I approach wedding days with quiet respectfulness, continuously working to build connections with those I photograph while giving them the space to be who they truly are and allowing my art to capture them authentically. That’s what you can expect by working with me; an honest, respectful, authentic experience that leaves you feeling taken care of. 

I invite you to take a journey with me – one that is filled with art, beauty, and love.

—  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.
