Hi, I’m Ashley | Oklahoma City Wedding Photographer

Hi, I’m Ashley

I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a wedding photographer in Oklahoma City. I photograph weddings for easygoing couples who want to enjoy their day, not spend it posing. I photograph families too, but weddings have my heart.

I’ve been photographing since 2009. That’s a lot of first looks, happy tears and dance floors. And I still love it just as much as I did at my very first wedding.

So let’s get to know each other.

Be at your wedding. I’ll take care of the pictures.

That’s my whole approach in one line.

You’ve planned this day for months. You should get to live it. Hug your people. Eat the food. Dance until your feet hurt. Most of all, enjoy your day!

My job is to make that easy. I’ll guide you through the photos so you don’t have to think about them. I’ll keep the timeline moving. And I’ll catch the moments you’d never want to miss, even the ones happening behind you.

When your gallery shows up, I want you to feel it all over again.

Feeling awkward in front of the camera? Good news.

Almost every couple tells me this. “We’re not photogenic.” “My fiancé hates pictures.”

I get it. And here’s a secret: I still get nervous before every wedding. It means I care.

So I do everything I can to take the pressure off. I give you simple prompts, not stiff poses. I keep things light and fun. Most couples tell me they forgot the camera was even there.

One of my brides said it best: “She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and got my husband to genuinely smile for both our engagement and wedding pictures.”

That’s the goal every single time.

What working with me looks like

I want planning your photos to be the easiest part of your wedding. Here’s how it works:

• We talk first. After you inquire I will send you a text message and we can set up a planning call so I can learn about you, your people and what matters most.
• You will fill out a questionnaire. Names, family photo lists, the little details. You won’t have to repeat yourself on the big day.
• We build your photo timeline together. No guessing, no rushing.
• You get a sneak peek within 48 hours. Because waiting is the worst.
• Your full gallery arrives in 6 to 8 weeks. So, you can relive all the moments you cherish the most.

My collections start at $2,800, and you can split payments monthly. You can see everything that’s included on my Weddings page.

Couples I love working with

You’ll probably love working with me if:

• You care more about the people there than having every detail perfect.
• You want photos that feel like you, not a stiff version of you.
• You’d rather laugh through your portraits than hold a pose.
• You’re dreaming about the life you’re building together, not just the day.

Garden weddings, backyard weddings, big weddings or tiny elopements. If that sounds like you, we’re going to get along great.

A few fun facts about me

• I’m married and a mom to my 11 year old daughter.
• I’m a quadruplet. Yes, there are four of us that are the same age. I also have an older sister.
• I played two years of college basketball, and I am a certified personal trainer so I’m very comfortable running around a wedding all day.
• I still love to photograph even when I’m traveling. The photographer in me is always present. Always looking for the next best shot.
• You will always find me with a coffee and a book.

A little proof

I’m honored to have won The Knot Best of Weddings in 2018 and 2019, and WeddingWire Couples’ Choice in 2017 and 2018. I also have 121 five-star reviews across The Knot, WeddingWire and Google.

But my favorite part is still the text I get after a couple sees their gallery for the first time.

Let’s check your date

I only take two weddings a month. That way every couple gets my full attention, before the wedding and after.

If you’re planning your wedding, I’d love to hear all about it. Tell me your date, your venue and a little about you two.

Or send me a DM on Instagram @ashleylaydenphoto. I reply within 24 hours.

Talk soon,

Ashley
