Erin Ashford Photography

“Erin is a true pro! I have used her many times for both event photography and editorial photography for our very sophisticated, upscale, glossy magazine. She has a very artistic eye, takes fabulous photos, she's easy to work with and is especially good at portraits as she puts people at ease, guaranteeing flattering shots. She is also fantastic when it comes to candids: they are offbeat and always charming. She really captures the mood and flavor of a scene, person or event and never dials it in, always goes well beyond the call of duty.”

Nancy Staab - Owner of LuxeCrush Magazine

“We couldn't be happier with Erin and the way she captured our beautiful(and crazy) wedding! To be completely honest, I can hardly remember seeing Erin at all! She was like a photo-ninja, popping in at the perfect moments, never forcing anything, always going with the flow and snapping away in the most organic of fashions. Going through the photos we were both amazed at the creativity, composition, lighting and most importantly - the way she captured the spirit and emotion that embodied our wedding. This girl is MUCH more than a wedding photographer, she's an artist. We both would most definitely recommend!”

Olivier - Groom

Erin photographed my wedding this fall in Savannah and what a pleasure she was to work with! She is so personable and after the whole experience, she wasn't just my photographer but a friend. :) She is incredibly talented and you can certainly tell she loves what she does. She and her assistant were so kind, flexible, and I had wedding guests coming up to me during the wedding and later afterwards commenting on how awesome she was. A highlight for sure was hopping into the car and chasing down the "perfect" light for our first photos as husband and wife. If you are looking for a photographer to get those priceless candids, little details and shots that really exemplify your happiness and love for one another, she is your gal!! Thanks SO much, Erin!!

Erin was our photographer for a high profile event. She was incredibly professional and personable from start to finish. She made the guests feel comfortable and was able to get great candid and posed shots throughout the evening. We look forward to using her again for future events and would recommend her to others without hestitation.

On the recommendation of a friend, we hired Erin as the photographer for my husband's 40th birthday party. We were thrilled with her work. Erin is a really cool person. Our party had a 20's theme, and Erin totally got into it by wearing a 20's outfit, which really helped her fit in with the guests. Both the posed and candid shots came out great, and I love that she captured so many great moments of us and our friends. She was very proactive with respect to getting great shots of all of the guests in the different areas of the party. We would definitely work with Erin again! Finally, we really appreciate the way she provides us with the images so that we can order prints as we like, rather than feeling pressured to buy prints immediately following the event.

Erin photographed our wedding this fall and we could not be more in love with the gorgeous images she captured. She came highly suggested from a close friend of ours and from our initial phone conversation with her we knew we wanted to have her be a part of the big day. She was professional but comfortable (our f&f thought we had known her for years!) And she is so sneaky! There were photos she caught that we had no idea were being taken. Looking back through them all now really gives us an honest look at how the day unfolded. The photos are natural, true and real. And so is Erin. She is as comfortable as a friend with the talent and genius of a 5 star photographer. (I'd give her many more if it let me.)

We can't thank you enough, Erin!

I fell in love with Erin's candid shots. I then found myself going through her website again and again looking at the intimate moments that people share during some of life's most important experiences. My wedding photos by Erin were stunning. The art she created from our day of love is incredible, timeless, beautiful.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Erin Ashford'...”My husband and I both craved the idea of having our wedding documented as real, and as true to life as possible! We were thrilled when seeing her past work online and even more excited after having met with her. The three of us were on the same page from the moment we sat down. The final results were well beyond our expectations. Our most favorite pictures were taken without us even knowing she was there! It was such a nice surprise going over the photos for the first time and seeing our day unfold so organically and beautifully. We've been asked by many who our photographer was and even had friends pick her for their upcoming wedding!”

I first found Erin while trying on my wedding dress in Atlanta. She was completing a promotional shoot for the store. After a few shots she took, I knew I found the right photographer for my wedding. Not only have I hired Erin to photograph my wedding, but also a boudoir shoot and recently the arrival of our new baby boy. She is incredibly artistic with her shots and we have loved everything she has done; I have recommended Erin to everyone I know. She is very easy to work with, has incredible patience (especially when working with our 10 day old son), and is willing to accommodate any of your requests along with suggesting great ideas for creative shots. I am so thankful she has been there to capture so many amazing milestones in our life.

My husband and I had maternity photos taken by Erin when I was 33 weeks pregnant after she was recommended by a friend who had engagement photos taken by her. We had a 2-hour session in our home, which was super convenient and comfortable. Erin was flexible with the photo shoot fee since we really wanted to document the pregnancy but were tight on funds.

We both really enjoyed working with Erin! The best part was that Erin was very cool and easy to work with. My husband and I are quite shy when it comes to having our pictures taken, and not very photogenic, but she was very relaxed and professional and made us feel really comfortable. She arrived on time and brought some lighting equipment with her to ensure that we had the appropriate lighting for the shots we wanted to get. We showed her around our place, sharing with her ideas we had for shots to capture. She was amazing in coming up with a bunch of new ideas for shots as well! She even got to know our dog, who is a very special part of our family, and incorporated her into several shots that ended up being our favorites.

All of the best photos (about 100) were available for viewing and online ordering about 2 weeks following the shoot. She also sent us a CD with all of the best photos so that we can have them printed over time as we wish.

I cannot say enough good things about Erin! If you are planning to have professional photos taken, for a special occasion or no particular reason at all, I would recommend her hands down.

Erin is truly a one of a kind photographer. She approaches her work with an enthusiasm and passion that is contagious and is reflected in her photos. Erin spent time getting to know my partner and I and she was able to capture exactly what we were hoping for in our pictures. She even came up with a few ideas that turned out to be among our favorite ones. Throughout the entire process, Erin was attentive to our needs, never rushed us, and was quick to get back to us on any questions we had. Beyond her professionalism and artistic ability, she was also a true joy to be around, which sets her apart from others in her field. Our pictures turned out beyond our expectations which is why we're hoping to get her as our wedding photographer when the time comes.

"Absolutely love every single photo you took! I want to thank you so much for making the photo process an easy and enjoyable one. You were so wonderful to work with, so helpful, and so kind. So many people commented on how great you were. And everyone LOVES the film!"

Gabrielle - Bride

"ERIN! These pictures are incredible! Seriously, UNBELIEVABLE! You are so talented! I'm going to send your album to the editorial team so they can see how AMAZING you are! Thanks so much for getting these images ready so quickly."

D'anne Eckert - Modern luxury

Having worked with many professional photographers over the last 30 years, I was very, very impressed with Erin Ashford. She did a family shoot, on a particularly hot day here in Marietta, where many of the pictures were taken outdoors. Her winsome personality, sense of humor, and flexibility made the whole experience a fun event. Erin was remarkably creative and off the cuff in coming up with great ideas of fun poses, etc. And finally, the pictures are just fantastic! I highly recommend Erin for any photography project you may have. She's the best!

"I have had the pleasure of working with Erin from 2005 through December 2007. She was hired to photographically document a major retrofit construction project of a live data center in Alpharetta. She has managed to expertly and creatively capture a very complex project. Her work is broadly illuminating as well detail sensitive. When specific photos are required Erin takes direction well and always manages to capture the required images but with a personal touch. She has captured very artistic views of some normally very mundane objects. She can be counted on to create a useful portfolio of powerful images. Another important attribute is her excellent customer-client relationship skills, Erin has become a part of everyone's team." Pete Ruys - Architect and President at Ruys & Company

"We were just able to look at the photos today and they were absolutely GORGEOUS! They were so much more than we could have imagined. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! You really did such a phenomenal job. If anyone is ever in need of a photographer, we will be absolutely sure to refer them to you. We cannot say it enough but THANK YOU!" Brandeis - Bride

"Erin, We all came away from our photo shoot laughing and happy - thanks to you! Thank you for making it so easy. We loved the experience but especially loved meeting you."

Janet - Mom

"Words simply cannot express how much we LOVE the images...seriously beautiful.  And every bit (and more) of what we dreamed of when we imagined our wedding pics.  As you know, we had quite a few snags that night, which were disappointing.  Honestly, your pictures made that night a perfect memory.  I'll remember it the way you captured it :) Asking you to be a part of that night was THE BEST decision we made...hands down."

Nina - Bride

“Erin is an extreme professional, whose creativity and liveliness give her work an element of unique character not found in many. She comes to every assignment well read, energetic and full of ideas to best bring out a message or carry out a theme. She is willing to be flexible and never turns in the same result. We look forward to growing our partnership with her and are lucky to have her talent in our company.”

Jenni Williams, Modern Luxury

We had the most incredible experience taking our family photos with Erin Ashford. She has a very warm and comforting presence so you immediately feel relaxed when she is shooting photos. She spent a long time with us and took some absolutely beautiful photos. She connected with everybody in the family- grandparents, parents, and kids. By the time she had finished we felt like we were fast friends.

As for the photos... "oooh la la..." Truly awesome! Spontaneous, artsy, occasionally a little edginess and all of them really really beautiful. She took the time to present them in two different color formats which was another big plus. We enjoyed working with her immensely and categorically recommend her to anybody interested in investing a little time and money into a set of family photos. You won't be sorry!

"We hired Erin at The Highland Inn hotel for a photo shoot in order to have photos to use in our upcoming brochure and in our website. We had hired photographers previously, but they never had the creative vision we were looking for. Erin was able to come in to our hotel, and immediately was rolling with waves of inspiration and creativity for the shoot. Our hotel is a very old 1920's hotel, with small spaces and low lighting, which had made it challenging for photographers previously. Erin had no problem with this! I was so impressed with her vision. She had been the first photographer we had worked with, who was able to capture the true essence and feel of the hotel. Erin is also very eager to work and excited about her work, so that makes you feel excited about the project as well. When we were working on this project together, she was so warm and friendly and an easy conversationalist. I would highly recommend Erin for any event or photography project. I feel she could transform any idea into a beautiful outcome with creativity and a fresh and interesting twist."
