WHY I DO WHAT I DO

Legacy at the Core

My love for photography began with my grandparents’ albums and grew into a passion for preserving stories that last for generations.

From Therapy to Photography

My background as a therapist shaped the empathy, calm presence, and trust I now bring to every wedding day.

Personal & Purposeful

Photography healed me through my own divorce and gave me the gift of building a beautiful life for my kids — they are my light and my why.

Life Beyond the Lens

Coffee, matcha, lifting weights, family soccer games, travel, and a love for hidden gems (and reality TV binges) keep me grounded and inspired.

Your moments are fleeting. Your legacy isn’t.

Every story deserves to be documented with care, artistry, and intention — transformed into timeless heirlooms that will be treasured for generations.

To honor that, Kyrsten Ashlay Photography accepts a limited number of weddings each season, ensuring every couple receives the attention, presence, and artistry their story deserves.
