Ashley Noelle Edwards

San Francisco, California
  • “Ashley time after time produces high quality moments over film to me as her client over and over. Whenever Ashley delivers a new gallery to me, I’m always taken back by not only the beautiful captures, but the story telling that takes place in her pictures. Ashley never ceases to amaze me with her artistry and captures of the most beautiful moments of life.
    Melissa Sullivan
  • “Ashley did my elopement and she couldn't have done a more perfect and professional job. She captured everything we wanted and made our special day the best it could be. She was patient, kind, and gave us direction when we asked for it. She was fun to work with and made sure that we were happy. The photos she took of us turned out incredibly and we didn't have to wait very long before we got to see the final results. Ashley is a true professional and I couldn't say enough good words about her and her work.”
    Hunter Pierce
  • “With Ashley Noelle Edwards, you’re investing in photos that will be passed down for generations as ART. Not only does she capture the necessary family portraits, she masterly captures the intangible of the day. Looking through my wedding photos feels like living the day all over again. You will love her vision! Her professionalism is 10/10 but her kindness really sets her apart from other wedding vendors. When choosing your wedding photographer you want someone talented, but also someone you’ll enjoy spending your wedding day with. Ashley is that person! I’m honored to have had her capture my wedding and am happy to still keep in touch as a friend. She’s simply the best!”
    Elena Ortiz
  • “Ashley is so personable and so easy to work with! My husband and I are both a little camera-shy, but she was so kind and had so many great ideas for poses that we weren’t left floundering at all. She went above and beyond to capture the most amazing golden hour photos. Her directions really give the sense of an artist who has a solid image in mind, and she delivers with unquestionable skill.

    Each preview of our photos just had me over the moon – Ashley had captured every bit of joy in the happiest day of our lives and turned it into something truly magical. I’m obsessed with the portrait photos!! It’s like she reached into my mind and brought all my ideas to life, only more perfectly than I could have ever hoped for. Our venue has these gorgeous trees lining the ceremony stairs, and I really wanted the majesty of them captured in our photos. None of the existing photos of our venue had quite managed to convey that, but Ashley got the perfect shot that I knew, nebulously, that I wanted, but hadn’t been able to envision until I saw it in our gallery.

    I really could not recommend Ashley and her wonderful team more highly!!”
    Rebecca Liu
  • “What an absolute privilege it has been to work with Ashley as our wedding photographer. From our initial reach-out to the big day, Ashley has always been gracious, friendly, and accommodating.

    I fell in love with Ashley's photography style from the get-go as I wanted someone who could capture our wedding day on film. It was important to us to have photographs that were timeless and elegant, and Ashley absolutely delivered.

    I have always had an appreciation for artists who take inspiration from vintage and antique creations, and we connected with our shared love for these details from the beginning. On our wedding day, Ashley left behind a gift for me--an antique trinket from France, which was so incredibly fitting given my French ancestry.

    Ashley, thank you so much for giving us your talent. You were more than generous with your time and your photography package. We can't ever thank you enough for agreeing to be our photographer. We can't wait to look back at our photos and remember this special day, all thanks to you.”
    Jenny & Brandon
  • “Ashley is one of the most sweet and talented people I've ever met and she knows how to capture people at their absolute best. Her photographs are timeless pieces of art. I am the type to shy away from the camera, but Ashley made me feel so comfortable and absolutely beautiful.”
    Raven Reed
  • “Ashley, we cannot stop smiling, laughing, and crying at these pictures. They bring us back so much memory and emotions! You are so good at what you do and we genuinely mean it. We cannot appreciate you enough for taking your precious time to get these amount of photos edited so quickly for our second wedding in Shanghai. Thank you so much for everything!”
    Tian & Christine
  • “Ashley, thank you for being one of our absolute favorite wedding vendors. You are amazingly talented, so passionate about what you do, and such a genuinely kind soul. We love the wedding photos. Thank you for capturing our wedding day so flawlessly!”
    Esther & Albert

About Ashley Noelle Edwards

My name is Ashley Noelle Edwards-Desmond and I am a wedding photographer in my 15th year of experience. Weddings are my passion! I adore the fast pace, the quick creative decision making opportunities, and getting to know my clients and their friends and family members. My signature Hollywood-inspired photographs are luxurious, emotional, and retain a timeless quality. I photograph on both medium format and 35mm film, as well as high end digital equipment. I am a master of film photography, able to shoot at a professional level in any kind of light, including darkness at night.

I won runner up and one thousand Euros in the 2021 International Garden Photographer of the Year Award Special Prize: Blarney Castle, as well as Editor's Choice for 2019 from The White Wren. My work has been seen in VOGUE, on BRIDES, JAGUAR (Italy), Munaluchi Bride, the front page of Style Me Pretty, Carats & Cake, TATLER, Magnolia Rouge, Wedding Sparrow, and in several other wedding publications worldwide. I travel internationally and live in Northern California with my husband and our Scottish Terrier, Bianca. My hobbies include badminton, writing novels and poetry, fashion, reading and listening to audiobooks, travel, learning languages, and planting flowers.

FAQ
  • We are uncomfortable in front of cameras and don't know how to pose. Can you help?

    Yes, this is my gift and my specialty. I also capture many flattering candids throughout the day.


  • Do you offer video?

    Sort-of. We offer Super 8mm videos (silent films shot with our 1967 Super 8 camera) and are always happy to shoot in 4k on iPhones to create content for you! We do not offer traditional wedding videography.


  • Do you offer pre-wedding photoshoots or engagement sessions?

    Yes, we offer both and many other kinds of photo sessions.


  • How long does it take to get our photos back?

    It depends on multiple factors, but approximately 6-12 weeks. We do not rush. We properly hand-cull and hand-edit every image. We do NOT rely on AI to do our culling or editing.


  • Do you accept small weddings or weddings without a planner?

    Absolutely, yes.


  • How many weddings do you accept each year?

    In order to provide the best service to our clients and to enjoy our own personal world travels, we only accept 10 or fewer weddings each year.


  • Do you shoot film and digital?

    Yes. We arguably shoot more film than any other wedding photographer, delivering hundreds or even thousands of real film images from your wedding day depending on the package you choose. When additional photographers are required for the scope of your wedding, our co-shooters often also shoot film or a combination of film and digital. Ultimately, film and digital are just tools we use to create our work. The tools absolutely matter, but we love both film and digital for different reasons. We shoot film in any kind of light, even at night and will help. you understand how this is possible when you book with us.


  • Do you travel?

    Yes, we travel frequently and have experience traveling to many countries around the world, as well as within the US.
