If we could describe Ashily in one phrase, it would be that she cares. She cares about understanding and telling our unique story, she cares about her craft, and she cares about creating a seamless experience from start to finish. We first met Ashily and David for our engagement shoot, and they made us feel so comfortable and confident by guiding and encouraging us throughout. Due to COVID, we ended up cancelling our large wedding and opted for an intimate 10-person ceremony instead, and they were with us on every change without missing a beat. Our wedding photos turned out perfectly, and if it weren’t for  the photo of us wearing masks, you wouldn’t even know that we had a small backyard ceremony during a global pandemic. They really knocked it out of the park! We will cherish our wedding photos forever and are so thankful that Ashily and David were there to capture those memories so beautifully for us and our families. We wholeheartedly recommend them and they are definitely first on our list the next time we need a photographer for any event or occasion.— Kristina & Dain

 

From our first conversation with Ashily and David at a café, it was clear that their main interest was in getting to know us as a couple. After getting to hear our story and the vision we had in mind for the photos, they made it their intention to make us feel comfortable by working to make that vision a reality. For our engagement shoot, they went out of the way to scout the location in advance, so that when we arrived with the limited time we had during golden hour, there was not a moment that went to waste. With David’s guidance of different pose ideas and Ashily’s positive encouragements, we both felt more confident to be ourselves and to genuinely have a fun time in front of the camera. When it came to the wedding, Ashily & David were such a dependable team. Their level of preparation was shown when they brought order to what could have been a chaotic day. We can’t imagine having trusted anyone else by our side, making it easy for us to focus on enjoying our big day. Looking back at the photos now, we can’t help but smile and reminisce at probably the nicest photos we’ll ever have as a couple. Ashily & David offer more than just great photographs—they create an experience and capture moments to remember for a lifetime.— Krist & Josh

 

Every time someone sees our wedding photos, they cannot believe that it only took 2 months to plan and execute because of how well-portrayed the photos are. As you can imagine, there are a lot of moving parts and time constraint in planning a wedding, but once we decided to move forward with it, we instantly knew to ask Ashily and David for both our engagement and wedding photos because of the airy aesthetic and timeless vibe their work has… and we are so thankful we chose them! Ashily and David are very organized, professional, and a joy to work with. Our photos were taken at Yosemite National Park and our wedding at Three Rivers. They went above and beyond with driving hours on end, catching and chasing the light and the mood that we were going for, and made the experience comfortable for us and our huge family. We also received our photos in a timely manner and could not wait to relive those days and share them with the world. When they say that photos are forever, they really are and we are so grateful we had Ashily & David as our trustworthy duo to capture our very special day. Thank you for your talent, hard-work, and passion, Ashily & David! — Elisha & Andrew

 

My then fiancé, David, and I had a pretty short engagement (5.5 months!) due to venue and family member availability. I didn’t mind it but I knew I wasn’t going to sacrifice quality just because we had less time to plan! We knew photos would be important and I also knew that we were both totally not the personality types to enjoy being in front of the camera. Whenever there’s a group photo called for, we’re usually done after 1. So I knew it would be important to have a photographer(s) who would make both of us feel comfortable. I stumbled on Ashily’s Instagram and loved her aesthetic. After reaching out, I learned that Ashily and her husband both shoot together and I knew I was sold! We sent them our deposit without ever meeting each other in person! Our first time meeting was during our engagement shoot and it was so much fun, who would’ve thought? And by the way, Ashily somehow managed to make my LA rooftop dreams come true which is NOT easy. On top of that, when it came to the venue walkthrough, she was totally prepared and professional, worked incredibly well with the vendors, and gave David and me clear expectations for the day of. She even brought props to jazz up the details shots! We really lucked out on discovering and meeting Ashily! I’ve heard some horror stories and seen some lackluster wedding photos from my own circle of friends but thankfully our experience was far from that. We’ve recommended Ashily to a number of engaged friends and already have her in mind for any future photography needs!— Christine & David

 

After countless hours spent searching for a wedding photographer that could meet our expectation of capturing our unique style, we discovered Vo Photo Co. From the moment we began signing the contract, Ashily & David were so patient with us and made us feel like Rock Stars! They listened to our visions and desires, then helped us to capture the special moments. We enjoyed collaborating with them and appreciate their attention to details by keeping us on track with getting ready photos and the schedule on the big day. They are so thoughtful and passionate about photography that they made us feel comfortable in front of their cameras. We had so much fun during our engagement session and on the big day. They are also very organized and professional. Ashily is extremely detailed and she is excellent with capturing unique photos through framing and composition. They also allowed us to enjoy our wedding day by capturing the moments without being intrusive. Ashily & David are hard working professionals, and they provided us with a preview of our photos very quickly. Hiring Vo Photo Co was the best vendor we booked for our wedding. We are so grateful for the marvelous photos of our special chapter of our lives and for the amazing Rock Star wedding experience! We highly recommend Ashily & David to our family and friends! For the high quality photos and superb customer service, it will be every penny well spent. Linda & Marcin

 

For both our wedding day and engagement shoot, they were so accommodating with our wishes, and had amazing ideas that we would have never thought of!  They have such keen eyes and attention to detail, and they captured everything with such a sense of beauty and magic.  The two of them are so fun, easy-going, are always smiling, and even under the sometimes crazy wedding conditions, they always stayed cool, calm, and collected.  It is very evident that they are passionate about what they do, and bring so much joy to their projects.  We are so elated with how they documented and memorialized our special day.  It has been almost a year since our wedding, and we still gush about our photos nearly every day, and will for the rest of our lives. They exceeded our wildest dreams, and we could not have a higher recommendation for Ashily and David! Danielle & David

 

Ashily & David were an absolute delight to work with. They are both professional, sweet, and a joy to be around. We were very awkward in front of the camera but they made it so easy to just have a great time. Our engagement session was nonstop laughter and we left the session excited to see them again for the Wedding day. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a photography duo that wants great results and a stress free process. Joseph & Minee

 

Ashily & David are the best combo! We were both so nervous at first because we had never done an engagement photoshoot before, but they both made our first experience so fun, relaxing, comfortable, and memorable. They even prepared props for us just in case the nerves got in the way or in case we forgot something! They are very thoughtful, caring, professional, and fun! Throughout the whole shoot they helped us forget our nerves. I still smile thinking back to our photo shoot and even the service afterwards was great! We will choose them again to capture precious moments for our future events, baby shower, birthdays, family photos, and anniversary photos without hesitation! Julia & Jae

 

Ashily & David are absolutely incredible. All of our engagement photos are beautiful! Throughout our engagement photoshoot session, they were nothing but kind, thoughtful, and professional. Ashily has an incredible eye, and she is so talented. Ashily and David are such a lovely couple and really made our day special and have given us photos that will live with us forever. I could not be happier with the end result and we would happily recommend them to anyone. Christine & Jinmin

 

Ashily and her husband David are so awesome! They make you feel comfortable and they have an amazing eye for capturing beautiful moments! They are really quick with sending highlight photos as well! We love them and if we could recommend them to anyone, we will! Thank you so much Ashily and David! — Kevin & Linda

 

We loved working with Ashily & David for both our engagement shoot and wedding! With most of wedding planning, everything is a first so we were so grateful for all the direction they provided for us. They helped us feel so comfortable! Ashily has great artistic vision & David is great at making you laugh. They were also open and flexible with our own ideas like having another engagement shoot at Universal Studios and finding ways to help capture that part of our story too. Thank you for capturing such special moments for us! Alice & Isaac

 

My husband and I wanted to do a destination wedding in Hawaii. We’ve never been to Hawaii, so there were many uncertainties on planning a wedding in Hawaii. One of the things we wanted to be certain of was our wedding photos. We wanted to make sure that we have a lasting memory of our special day. When I heard of Ashily’s and David’s dedication and hard work, I knew that they had to be our photographers.  We were very lucky to have them come with us all the way to Hawaii as we witnessed their passion and sincerity in their work. When we arrived, they did not waste any time as they prepared and researched in a very short time. I felt as if they were my family, making us comfortable and relaxed whilst taking pictures. They’re a super couple and worked as a team together.  Being first time visitors in Hawaii, you can just imagine how many last minute things we had to arrange.  Nonetheless, they were there at every step. They were determined to fulfill our dream and it was unforgettable.  To this day, I look at our portrait in awe. We’re very impressed and thankful for them. I highly recommend this team to anyone who wants memorable pictures taken at any event!Eunice & Ji

 

Pictures last a lifetime, and that's exactly what Ashily & David from Vo Photo Co did for us! When planning for our wedding we searched and searched for a photographer that could meet our needs and capture our love. Basically, someone who could really get us. Ashily and David catered to exactly what we were looking for. A little unorthodox, but I was looking for a Winter/Rustic/Twilight themed engagement and wedding photos and that’s exactly what we got. Ashily & David re-created everything and shot the photos we were both dreaming about. She even joined us on a hot summer day through some humid, hot, and mosquito infested hiking trails just to capture our engagement photos. That to me is dedication. So thank you Ashily & David, who tagged team together to do our photos. Our future children will see these and fall in love just as much as we did. We are forever grateful!
