Ashley Carlascio Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $10,500
  • Serves Durham, CA

My approach to wedding photography is one part editorial and one part sentimental candids. I want to capture all the details you have chosen to have on your wedding day and all the guests you have invited to share this moment. You will have a fun & joyful experience and receive natural-looking, artful photos that look like they belong in a magazine. My edit is a bright, true-to-color crisp edit. I care deeply about skin tones looking true to life, and my edit is centered around that.

I am wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Northern California for couples who are madly in love. I love natural light and try to capture beautifully real raw images. I like to photograph the real stuff... the good stuff! The smiling, giggling and all the things that make you blush!

“We first met Susie at my sister’s wedding and knew right away we wanted her for ours. Shooting on top of Donner Summit isn’t easy, but she made it feel effortless. She somehow managed to get every photo we wanted and so many we didn’t even know we needed. The way she captured the light, the landscape, and all the emotion of the day was unreal. The previews already feel like something out of a dream and we honestly can’t wait to see the rest. Thank you so much Susie for capturing our special day!”

“I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.”

“I hired Vic to photograph my bridal shower based on some recommendations on FaceBook! I took one look at her portfolio and knew that she was talented. She made the booking process super easy and was reachable via Email and Text. She formalized the agreement via contract which was very professional and helped me guarantee that she would be committed to my event. On the day of the event, she went above and beyond. She helped calm me as we were running a bit late but she kept things moving the whole event. She captured photos of me, my guests, and got detailed shots of all our decorations. Our guests loved that she offered pointers on how to pose and stand. Not to mention she took several photos of every shot - I’ve worked with photographers in the past who will only take 1 shot, but not Vic! After the event, she gave me all the unedited photos within 48 hours which was a HUGE win! She captured around 700 photos of my 2 hour event - I was stunned in the best way. Overall, working with her was a dream and I cannot wait to hire her for my next event.”

“Tawni was our main point of contact for both photography and videography, and she communicated with us very well, mostly over text which was my preferred method. On the wedding day itself, Tawni was super communicative all the way through the end of their time with us on the dance floor. She made sure to come tell us what was next and kept us in the loop on switching our timeline to work with the best lighting for our couples shoot but still keep our overall flow smooth. Both Tawni and Paul's work is absolutely worth every penny spent. They helped keep us on track throughout the entire day, captured everything we asked of them and more and most importantly, made photo and film fun for us and our bridal party. I could not recommend Tawni and Paul enough to anyone - they work so well together and don't get in each other's way. They are the ultimate photo and film team!”

“Unmatched, epic, insanely talented artist and masterpiece! We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Julia Goldberg. From the very first email, zoom meetings, to the moment she arrived at our hotel the morning of our wedding to the very last minute eight hours later, she was the definition of professionalism, talent, and calm energy. Julia gave my husband and I our dream wedding day in every sense of the word. Her attention to detail, direction, and posing skills made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and she somehow managed to keep everything running smoothly while still making it so fun and natural. She was an absolute ROCKSTAR the entire day, anticipating moments before they happened and capturing them so beautifully and effortlessly. When working with her, you feel as if you’ve known her your whole life. Beyond her impressive talent, Julia is just an amazing person to be around. She is personable, friendly, kind, funny, and so outgoing—it honestly felt like we had a close friend by our side all day. That kind of presence made such a difference and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. And the sneak peek photos… omg we were BEYOND blown away and I cried tears of joy and am still at a loss for words looking at them everyday! Receiving them in less than 48 hours was already impressive, but the photos themselves were beyond anything we could have imagined—stunning, romantic, emotional, and perfectly capturing the magic of our day. She is worth every penny and more! From the day I found her Instagram and website, I knew there was no other photographer I could use for our wedding. Whether you’re getting married at the iconic San Francisco City Hall, on a Safari in Africa, or under the northern lights, she has the itinerary mapped out to a T and gives you the resources to make your day absolutely seamless while always keeping you in the loop and making you feel important and valued. It was truly a dream come true to have Julia as our wedding photographer. We could not have had a more treasured and memorable day without her, and we will be forever grateful. 10000000/10 experience and I want to get married over and over just to have her shoot us again! Thank you again, Julia-you made my wedding dreams come true️”

Hey, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a wedding photographer, yes — but more than that, I’m someone who deeply values connection. I love getting to know my couples, their families, and their chosen families. I photograph all kinds of love, but I’m especially proud to serve the LGBTQIA+ community. As a lesbian and someone who’s been through the wedding planning process with my amazing wife, I know how powerful representation is — and how much it matters. Whether you’re queer or an ally, I’m honored you’ve found your way here. Tell me your love story, and let’s show the world just how magical it is.

From our very first interaction, her communication style was effective, kind, and joyful, making the whole process feel effortless. She was so sweet and happy, it was truly contagious and it shines through in her work. We were so comfortable the entire time, even though beforehand I was not happy with my makeup. Once we started shooting, it didn’t even cross my mind. Without even seeing the photos, I was just so excited and knew they were going to be stunning. The quality of her work is truly dreamy and creative - she even brought our vision of having the feel of an early morning in New York City to life, even though we were in Fresno, CA. Her ability to work with us to capture our perfect date idea was impressive, and the resulting photos are breathtaking. We couldn't be happier with the work and passion Michelle showed us during our shoot!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“The Blackwell’s were so wonderful to work with from beginning to end. Communication was always easy and I could reach out to them anytime I had a question (even in the evenings!!) with an expected quick response. We also had to find and book a photographer while we were out of town for a few months and they made it so easy to video chat and get to know them with no pressure to book when we were searching for our photographer. They did our engagement shoot/wedding photos and communicated very well through the planning of the shoot (we had a themed wedding and evening photos so we need someone who was good and we found it!). You can tell that their biggest concern is always making sure that we get what we want which requires a lot of communication that they were good at. I highly recommend them for any event not just a wedding as I feel you get the best of both worlds with them as your photographer in any type of situation. They make you feel comfortable and herd, but also know how to take quality photos and get them to you fast! Thank you for making our day so extra special and giving us memories that will last a lifetime!! I cherish our wedding photos and love to show them off!!”

  • Serves Durham, CA

I’m Peter, the guy behind Bedrosian Photo. I photograph weddings, people, parties, emotion, chaos, and all the weird little moments in between. I care way more about honesty than perfection — the nervous energy before a ceremony, your drunk uncle on the dance floor, your grandma crying quietly in the corner, or the split-second look your partner gives you when they think nobody’s watching. Those moments matter more than anything staged ever could.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience with Peter as our wedding photographer! He photographed both our engagement shoot and our wedding—and at a very reasonable price. When we first met Peter at the engagement shoot, my fiancé and I were a little nervous and unsure of how to pose. But Peter immediately made us feel comfortable with his calm, friendly presence and clear direction. He struck the perfect balance—guiding us without making anything feel stiff or forced. The photos turned out beautifully: natural, candid, and exactly what we had hoped for. When the wedding came around a few months later, Peter completely blew us away. Not only did he capture stunning photos of me and my husband, but he also took so many incredible shots of our friends and family. Everyone was thrilled—and we received so many compliments from guests about how much they loved their photos. The detail shots of the venue and decor were so breathtaking that my husband literally said, “THAT’S our wedding?” when he saw them. Peter has an amazing eye for detail and an incredible ability to capture not just moments, but the emotion and personality within them. I’m so happy we chose Peter—he gave us photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives. So will our friends and family. If you’re considering him for your wedding, do it. You won’t regret it! PS: forgot to add that he got the beautiful photos to us so quickly and gave us a very easy to use link to access them.”

She made the whole process feel so natural and enjoyable, which was so important on such a big day. Not only was she professional, but she went above and beyond in ways we didn’t expect. For example, when I was struggling to pin something to my dress, she immediately jumped in to help—something totally outside her job description, but she did it with a smile and made sure everything was perfect. It was those little thoughtful gestures that truly set her apart. And of course, the photos are nothing short of stunning! We absolutely love her style and the way she uses color. She made sure to capture every important moment, and we now have beautiful memories to cherish forever. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for not just a photographer, but someone who genuinely cares about making your day perfect.”

“We had the most amazing time working with Ali! We had kind of a long engagement and we initially started working with Ali over a year and a half before our wedding to get our engagement photos done. Not only were the photos beautiful, but Ali made us feel super comfortable and at ease throughout our session. Leading up to our wedding day, Ali was amazing at coordinating the day of timeline with our coordinator and making sure that all the elements that were important to us were included so that we had enough time to capture the moments. One of my favorite things about working with Ali is her calm presence. Every time I was stressed about something in the planning process about the timeline I would talk to Ali and she would immediately make me feel at ease. She was constantly reminding me that the most important thing on my wedding day was to be present with our friends and family (and as a type A bride this was a much-needed reminder!) Ali also came to take photos at our rehearsal dinner and welcome party which was great because she got to know our families and our family dynamics before our big day which was a huge help! On the wedding day Ali and the second shooter Scottie were rockstars! They went above and beyond at every opportunity from helping the boys tie a bow tie, climbing out on my fire escape to get a crazy photo that I had in mind, moving locations at last minute, dealing with rain, helping bustle my dress, and of course capturing all the beauty of our perfect day. I will not hesitate to work with Ali and her team again! She’s amazing, a true professional, and I hope we have the chance to have her capture our big milestones in the years to come.”

“True Light Photography was a wonderful experience for our family/maternity photos. Calea is timely, kind, and clear in her communication. She was enthusiastic about any idea for poses or backdrops we had, and kept us moving efficiently so we could capture great photos while our kids were in good moods. The final photos were absolutely stunning - the shots were so moving and incredibly flattering. We are thrilled with the quality of her work and the value she provided on such a special day for our family.

“Working with Focused On Life Photography LLC was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Brayley and her team were a breeze to work with from start to finish, and they always got back to us right away when we had questions. She has an incredible eye for capturing those special moments that matter most, and somehow knew exactly which angles made us look our best. The photos turned out jaw-dropping and we couldn't be happier with how everything came out.
