I know what you're thinking. There's nothing to shake the bliss of an engagement like posing in front of a camera - all limbs and "WTF do I do with my hands?" Not so, my friends. Whether I'm joining your girl gang on a Palm Springs bachelorette party or following you around town for your Southern California engagement shoot, all of your photography will be cocktail-fueled, love-filled, and fun.
No stress sweating - just quality time with a friend (who happens to be holding a camera). When searching for venues and rentals in Palm Springs for our wedding, we asked around about photographers. Looking for a Palm Springs wedding photographer? You've found her! I love that Palm Springs offers so many picturesque locations, whatever vibe you're going for.

Brides & Grooms, BOOK ASHLEY NOW! I cannot say enough great things about her, where do I even start? Ashley did our engagement photos (May 2021) and wedding photos (November 2021).
She was super helpful throughout the entire process. Her communication was what really stood out to me! If I had any questions on what to wear for engagement photos, what to expect, or anything, she replied so quickly. She really has done it all, so she has the answers to everything, including an in depth guides of what to anticipate! It was super helpful!
Obviously, if you have seen her work, it speaks for itself

I cannot say good enough things about Ashley and our experience with her. She truly is the best at what she does, but she also offers so much more. Not only are we obsessed with our photos, but we are so thankful to her for how she managed our wedding day. Unfortunately, our planner fell short, and Ashley stepped in and took control of the situation. She kept us on schedule, and she was able to capture all of the photos we wanted and then some. We are so glad we chose Ashley for our special day. She travels, as well, so even if you are not getting married in Vegas or Palm Springs you can hire her

Ashley & her team were FABULOUS!!!!! She did our engagement and wedding photos!! We picked pretty much the hottest day to do our engagement session in Palm Springs! She was such a champ and made us feel amazing, even though it was 120 degrees!!! Our photos came back superb!!!
On our wedding day was even more superb! Everything was quick fast and turned out BEAUTIFUL. I honestly was dreading the photo aspect but she made it wonderful!! It was August in Palm Springs, so it was warm. She made sure I was cool & hydrated! We got our wedding photos back less than a month later and they were

This review is a long time coming! I booked with Ashley and she had provided recommendations for Louis! He was fantastic! I had requested for my 33rd birthday pics with my two dogs and they had exceeded my expectations with their vision and the outcome. It had been very cold when I had my session in March but he had powered through it while I was striking poses. Louis came with a set of ideas and was also flexible in other ideas. I highly recommend them. They are a power team when it comes to communications and emails. They know the best stops for scenic hot spots outside of Joshua Tree. Highly

Stop your research and book Ashley now.
She's attentive, detail-oriented, and always gets the shot.
My husband and I got married this February and used Ashley for our big day and engagement shoot.
It was so fun to work with her prior to the wedding day so that day of she really does feel like a part of your family. We'll be booking Ashley again for all our upcoming events.

We are SO happy that Ashley could be the photographer for our Scottsdale, AZ wedding. She is upbeat and fun, and just makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We really wanted a photographer that wasn't afraid of bright colors (we didn't have the usual pastel wedding pallette) and Ashley knew exactly how to make us and our photos look amazing. We're in love with our photos. Don't think twice, if Ashley is available for your date just book her already! You'll be happy you did! :)

Ashley is a great photographer, she made me feel comfortable and showed me how to pose to look good, since I really don't like taking pictures, love the direction she gave us. My fiancé hired her to surprise me and actually propose, it was a total surprise. The pictures turned out great, all the locations and backgrounds she showed us around Palm Spring were perfect! and now we have these lovely memories forever. Don't hesitate to hire her even if you are not living in Palm Springs or Vegas, she's great!

Ashley made all my picture wedding dreams come true. Finding a photographer to hire was one of the most challenging things for me because to me, it was the most important vendor I would hire. Even if my hair was amazing and my decorations were beautiful, it wouldn’t matter if the photographs didn’t capture that. Well, all I have to say is that ASHLEY IS THE MOST AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER EVER. Not only did she capture the most amazing images of my wedding day, but she is one of the most fun people to just hang out with. My entire wedding day I felt relaxed, I never felt rushed through pictures.

Ashley LaPrade is by far the best photographer, for any and all occasions. My engagement photos are stunning and so is her personality demeanor and personality. My now husband is a very rigid, and shy person, but Ashley made him feel confident and comfortable within minutes of meeting her and taking photos. I will forever use Ashley's services she was a part of our biggest day, our wedding and we cannot wait for her to capture all the upcoming monumental moments of me and Rauls life.
Do yourself a favor and hire Ashley Laprade.

I can't say enough great things about Ashley! It was one of my best friend's 30th birthday and I couldn't be there but I wanted it to be memorable. Ashley worked with me to set up a super fun surprise and since I'm not familiar with the area she suggested some really great spots. The entire group had a blast and now they have an amazing keepsake to remember forever. She was a great collaborator and so creative - thanks for everything Ashley!! A bazillion stars to her!!

Ashley helped me plan a surprise proposal for my partner at the botanical gardens in Palm Springs. I can't even begin to explain how amazing it went, and how stunningly she captured the special moment. I had chatted with several photographers on the phone but instantly knew that Ashley was the one when she shared her great ideas on locations and how to pull off the surprise. She was such a pleasure to work with through the entire process and has a great website to streamline planning, communication and payment. I hope we can work with her at our (eventual) wedding!

If you are even considering her, hire her. She was by far my absolute favorite vendor. She was the easiest to work with and the most professional. We live out of state and were worried about communication and scheduling, but she is 110% flexible and accommodating. We had to reschedule our engagement photos and Ashley ended up flying to us to take our pictures. It was so much fun showing her around, even as our first time officially meeting, because Ashley naturally has a very open personality where it feels you are like instant friends. Any idea we had for the pictures she was down to work with

I found Ashley online and am so happy to have found her. We did a mini engagement shoot in Palm Springs and she suggested a beautiful venue for us to shoot. She was reasonably priced and her work is high caliber. We ended up with over 50 high quality photos, that we love. She is super friendly and talented. Hope to work with her again soon!

If you are seeking a wedding photographer that you will be comfortable around, will accommodate to all your needs both in the months before, during, and even after the wedding; is quirky and fun loving, and will ultimately give you photographs you will assuredly adore in the years to come, then Ashley is your girl!
The first day I met Ashley, we met up at the wedding venue and toured the place together. We talked about where the best places to take photos would be, what aspects of the photos were most important to me, and the overall feel I was trying to capture in the photos. After that 1 hour

For a family get together in Palm Springs, I searched around last minute for a photographer for a palm spring-esque mini session. Ashley was quick to respond on yelp, worked with me with our budget, and was very responsive through text/email up until the shoot.
When we met she was friendly, professional and gave us lots of leeway and freedom to do our thing. We had lots of little kids (five kids under 5 years old)so it was hectic but she was patient. I hadn't done much family photoshoot so I didn't know what to expect in terms of how much the photographer takes the lead vs us, but I

I was referred to Ashley by a friend who had their engagement photos shot by her. After reviewing Ashley's work on her website I could instantly tell that she was a very experienced engagement/wedding photographer that took beautiful photos, exactly what I was looking for. I called Ashley to inquire about booking her to photograph my wedding. I was full of questions, number one being price, as I was definitely a bride on a budget and wanted to get the most/best I could for my money. Ashley took the time to discuss everything at length with me on our initial phone conversation, putting my worries
