About

Located in Edmonton, Alberta and available worldwide, First Glance Studios is a company that specializes in intimate weddings, elopements and portrait photography.

Hi, I'm Ashley. To me, a great photo is so much more than a pretty picture. Photographs should evoke emotion. When looking back through your images many years from now, I want to take you back to that special time in your life and all the feelings you experienced in those moments.

I would describe my photography as natural, elegant, and timeless. Along with my gentle posing directions, I strive to capture fleeting moments and hold them still. A stolen glance, a fit of laughter, and small details tell the story of a couple's wedding day and truly make it their own. I often capture candid moments when people aren't aware of my camera, which bring about completely relaxed and natural moments.

From the moment you first contact me, we will work together to establish your values when it comes to wedding photography, and how I can make your vision a reality. When you book me as your photographer, you can rest assured that you are in good hands. You will have my full undivided attention, energy and care. From fine tuning your schedule, to vendor recommendations, I have your back. I endeavour to bring you a sense of calm on your wedding day so that you can thoroughly enjoy your celebration to the fullest.

Ashley was excellent

Ashley absolutely deserves 5/5 stars. We are so happy that we chose her to be our wedding photographer. From the very first meet and greet to the final email that our photo gallery was complete she was excellent to communicate with, which we really appreciated. And of course, most importantly, we are so happy with our wedding photos. We received a sneak peek the day after the wedding which was so exciting, and the final gallery was ready even before her initial estimate of 1 month.

Amazing photographer!

Ashley is a wonderful photographer! We got married September 2020. Our wedding plans changed multiple times due to Covid-19. We originally were planning to get married in Edmonton and then we lost our venue nine weeks before our wedding. We then decided to get married in Jasper Alberta. Ashely was so accommodating and easy to work with while planning our wedding during these uncertain times. She was able to come to Jasper with us and capture our day. We’ve shot with Ashely a couple times and loved every experience. We’ve shot outside and in a studio space. She makes you very comfortable and has captured some special moments of our life. I look forward to working again with her in the future!!!

Amazing photographer!

Ashley was an absolute joy to work with - she is personable, friendly, laid back and so supportive of us. We hired Ashley for our engagement photos, bridal shower and our wedding and the images she created for us will be cherished for years to come. The rain starting coming down out of nowhere during our engagement session and she didn't miss a beat! She still managed to capture amazing images of us. Our wedding photos are absolutely STUNNING and I'm soooo thankful that we chose her as our photographer. We get so many compliments on our photos. Being a photographer myself, I knew I could trust her with the task of capturing our love and she absolutely did. Through every step of the process she was on time, organized, well prepared, and enthusiastic about her work and working with us. If you're considering hiring her as your photographer, do it!

Above and beyond anything we could have imagined!!

We could not possible write enough kind words to fully express what Ashley provided for us. From our first meeting with Ashley she was so easy to talk to, guided us in any areas of our wedding planning we had not figured out yet, and gave us a clear understanding of what to expect! Leading up to the wedding day she was so easy to reach out to with speedy responses, and ensured to touch base with us a few times as we got closer to. This was so reassuring as it took one thing off our plate knowing she was on the ball with everything. Then on our wedding day Ashley showed up early and ready to get to work! Her attire was so professional and she was able to get along with everyone so easily, I didn’t have to spend time listing names she just got right in there working with everyone, it was seamless. For myself, my husband and most of our bridal party we were shy in front of the camera, but not with Ashley, she has this way of making you feel so comfortable almost like no one is there taking your picture! We decided to do private vows, but wanted the moment to be captured, I was worried with having photos taken that it would distract us, but Ashley was so discrete neither of us even remember seeing her yet she caught the most heartfelt moments for us. Following our wedding day Ashley kept us updated on when to expect photos which was so thoughtful, she was always keeping us in mind and she delivered the photos so quickly! The results of the photos were BEYOND anything we could have ever imagined. Out of over 600 photos, there isn’t a single one we are not in love with. Ashley captured our day perfectly, and by that I don’t just mean beautiful and creative portraits of us, our family, and bridal party, but she actually captured so many moments with our guests that we would have never seen without her! It’s like we got to relive our wedding day without missing a moment! The feedback from our family and guests was of course that the photos were stunning, but that she was extremely kind, polite, and overall just a wonderful person to interact with. Ashley, you are phenomenal at what you do and we cannot wait to have you capture more of our big moments in the future!!! You are one of a kind. Thank you for everything!

Amazing! First Glance made our wedding that much more special. We have so many beautiful photos to remember our day

Ashley was fantastic! She was so sweet and so helpful! She was great at making us feel comfortable and she fully invested herself in her work. She made sure that we kept on time for everything and made great suggestions. First Glance was a fantastic price and we honestly feel like we got a steal of a deal with her! I would recommend her time and time again and would definitely hire her again in the future.
