NJ Wedding Photographer
for laid-back couples

Bright, Natural & True-to-Life Wedding Photography
I’m Ashley, the photographer behind Renee Ash Photography, a North Jersey wedding photographer capturing weddings with a bright, natural, and timeless approach.
I photograph weddings for laid-back, deeply-in-love couples who want their day to feel meaningful, joyful, and easy, not staged or rushed.

Based in Sussex County, NJ, I serve couples throughout Northern New Jersey, including Sparta, Lafayette, Morristown, Madison, Randolph, Hardyston, and beyond. From intimate celebrations to full wedding days at estates, farms, and ballrooms, my focus is always the same: connection first, beautiful light, and images that feel like you.

Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot. It’s a collection of moments, emotions, and memories you’ll want to relive for the rest of your life. My approach to wedding photography is relaxed, guided, and intentional. I’ll step in when you need direction and step back when the moment speaks for itself. Using movement-based prompts and natural light whenever possible, I create images that feel genuine, romantic, and true to color, never overly posed or filtered.

Couples often tell me they felt comfortable, confident, and completely present on their wedding day, which is exactly how it should be.

What It’s Like to Work Together

FREQUENT
QUESTIONS

frequently asked

WHAT IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE?

I am primarily a natural light photographer, looking for great beautiful bright light for your images where it is possible. But I do know my way around a flash and studio lighting in case the light just doesn't exist. My preferred editing style is bright, true to life color with a bit of pop!

WHAT DO WE DO WITH OUR HANDS?

I get it, posing can be intimidating, nerve wracking, and just plain awkward.
I use action based posing to get you moving, laughing and comfortable!! I will give you direction, and ideas then let you do you! There's nothing more beautiful than a newlywed couple walking hand in hand laughing, or whispering sweet ( naughty? ) things in each other's ear... Don't worry I can't hear you ;)

What does Full day coverage include?

I am with you for all your important moments of the day, arriving an hour before hair and makeup is complete to the last dance! This makes sure that your entire day is covered and you don't have to choose which portions to skip. I am there for the WHOLE DAY!

How will we know if you're the one?

I know that choosing a photographer is a personal choice! It's so important to vibe with one another, because we will be spending a lot of time together both during the planning process, for your engagement session, and on your wedding day! We will hop on a virtual call to go over all the important details and make sure we're on the same page!

When will we have our photos?

I know, you're dying to see them!! ME TOO!!
My turnaround time for wedding days is 4 weeks. But you will always see some sneak peeks way before that! Your 800+ images will be ready to view in your private online gallery, and able to share with everyone you know and love!
