We were very pleased with the photos Ashley took during her stay at our hotel, so much that we shared them on our social media pages! She's so talented, she truly captured our hotels atmosphere and the beauty of Positano.

I hired lovely Ashley to capture my daughter’s 2nd birthday party which also became a family reunion after Covid had kept us apart for more than a year - and the first time some of our family and friends had met our new baby girl - so a very special day. I am absolutely delighted with the moments Ashley cleverly captured - she worked around the 50 guests getting beautiful, natural shots. Ashley is a highly emotionally attuned person - a special quality you cannot put a price on for a photographer. Her ability to tune into the atmosphere and the people around her, despite not knowing most of the guests, made for the most wonderful moments being captured. One of my favourites is our great auntie’s 81-year-old bejewelled hands holding my 4-month-old daughter’s little toes. When I showed her, she said she didn’t realise it was being taken. Testament to Ashley’s eagle eye and speedy snapping. That is just one of the poignant moments that Ashley spent hours scouting out and capturing in a completely non-intrusive, natural way. I have shared the photos with my guests and everyone is equally as delighted as I am. I began trying to choose my favourites but was selecting all of them! I can’t wait to use Ashley again for my next event. It’s the best gift I could have asked for, to remember a special day. Thank you Ashley for being so talented and lovely

"Ashley took some amazing natural shots of my little girl as I bathed, fed and cuddled her one evening. We loved the photos Ashley took so much that we now have three framed in our home!"

We are so happy with our photos. Ashley was a natural with our little one and captured the most beautiful moments. Cannot recommend Dawes Wide Open Photography enough.

Thankyou so much Ashley for our beautiful wedding photos. Ashley captured such precious moments and did it in such a way that we didn't even know you were there! So many people have commented on the photos Ashley took, including the wonderful angles and light Ashley captured. We can't thank you enough and we will forever cherish our wedding photos. THANK YOU!

I have hired Ashley for various photography needs for my business Dottie’s Drinks. Her creative eye and attention to detail are second to none I’ve been so impressed. It’s not an easy job to shoot numerous images for just one product but each time she delivers high quality, interesting shots. I can’t recommend her enough!

Lauren Horne, Founder - Dottie's Drinks

We recently held a charitable football match for Michael Sobell Hospice and we employed Ashley to photograph the event for us. The photos came out better than we could have ever hoped for and the service was second to none. Ashley was friendly, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Ashley, we will be using your services again and we have already been recommending your services to clients of ours.

Ashley has "the eye"! Ashley joined the Milo Tours family at the beginning of 2021 and brought our land into life with her amazing photos during the tours. The memories she collected through her eyes made us fall in love with our places one more time. Thank you so much that we were able to use some of your wonderful photos on milotours.com!
