    "Ash is simply amazing. I was slightly nervous walking into the shoot, but within seconds she made me feel at ease and we were laughing and joking! She walks you through every step of the process, from makeup and hair, to choosing which outfits and poses to use. When I got my pictures back, I was absolutely blown away at the quality…and with how beautiful I felt and looked!! Will definitely be booking another shoot"
