About Ashley Bowling Photography

Ashley Bowling Photography

Lead Wedding Photographer

Hi, I'm Ashley! I'm a professional wedding photographer based in Northern Illinois! At my core, I’m a giggly, bubbly, empathetic goofball with a welcoming heart. I've had roots in the wedding industry for a while now and have taken on many roles and worn many hats in this profession! In addition to wedding photography, I'm also a wedding coordinator and work for my local florist! I thrive in environments where I can be intentional, present, loving, empathetic, real, raw, and share in this space with others. This is the driving factor behind my “why” and where my passion for photography and the wedding industry takes root.

In an attempt to create an exceptional wedding photography experience for my couples, I built wedding packages with the intent to focus solely on the memories. I believe every couple deserves to celebrate and relish their special day without feeling rushed or restricted to a timeline. That’s why my packages aren’t based on hourly rates, like most. Instead, they offer flexibility and fluctuation in terms of coverage time, leaving room for buffers, spontaneous moments, and the ability to focus on what really matters. Let’s do it differently, focus solely on the memories, & make this day yours.

    I’ve gotten to know Ashley for the past 5 years. She first photographed my maternity photos, our daughter’s first bday, Fall Family photos, and then newborn photos for my second. She is the sweetest, super friendly, great communicator, helps if you have outfit questions, takes in your consideration if you want specific photos taken, and just makes the photo shoots actually fun (which helps this anxious mama out). I love her style when it comes to editing and she’s more about real candid shots which end up turning out so good. So if you want someone who is going to make your photo experience fun and as stress free as she can, she is the woman to contact.

    I’ve had a few professional photoshoot experiences in my life, but my experience with Ashley has been the most comfortable and memorable of them all! She has an eye for making the photos glow and capturing moments in an authentic way. She also has a deep respect/love for her clients and craft. She really brought my vision for the shoot to life. Under her direction and eye, the photos turned out even better than I had hoped! If you want your special events to be captured in an artful way that is true to you, I highly, highly recommend Ashley. She has a knack for capturing the magic of the day so that you can remember it forever.

    I’m a type A person, so naturally I had high hopes for our wedding pictures. For this reason, we spent our money on the most professional photographer we could find. She also helped coordinate with staff & my guests! The photographs that Ashley took, however, far above my greatest hopes. The photographs are so beautiful with love and joy; it blows my mind!

    Where in the world do I start with my girl Ashley?! When planning my wedding in 2024, I knew one of the most important things during the process was to find an amazing wedding photographer, and sure enough we did! My husband and I got SO lucky. From the beginning, Ash made us beyond comfortable at our engagement shoot (it was our first time ever taking professional photos) AND we had a blast even though it was absolutely freezing that day. During one of the most stressful times of my life planning the wedding, she was the most amazing support, giving the best advice and sweetest comfort throughout the wedding process. Ashley helped make our wedding day go by so smoothly, helped calm my nerves with her warm presence and did an AMAZING job with our photos. She helped capture the most beautiful parts of our day and was so determined to get rainbow pics that we were so lucky to have. Ash was not only the best wedding photographer and her work is beyond beautiful, but she's also become a close friend of mine. I truly am so glad we found each other, I will forever be grateful for our girl! Don't think twice, I promise you won't regret booking any shoot with Ashley!
