arizona wedding and elopement photographer

Ashley Durham

palm springs wedding photographer

Did you know that I grew up in Palm Springs, California? Over the years, I have had the honor to photograph weddings in and around my hometown and Southern California. Even though I currently live in Arizona, I am out in the Coachella Valley as much as humanly possible and do not charge any travel fees to the Palm Springs region. 

Serving Palm Springs, La Quinta, Joshua tree and all over Southern California.

I am so excited to offer wedding photography in Palm Springs to incredible couples.

Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event that deserves to be treated with the utmost attention and love from the people you invite into your lives to help you celebrate.

I want not just your wedding day, but the entire wedding process to be fun, exciting and most importantly: remembered forever. Not just by the two of you, but for your children and grandchildren. Your loved ones will be able to actually feel the love the two of you share, and see how your wedding day was really just the beginning of your story together.

Your wedding day is something special and unique to the two of you, and so should be your wedding photography experience. All of my wedding packages include a beautiful online gallery so you can download, share and print all of your high resolution images that have been individually retouched. You will also have exclusive education content delivered straight to your inbox created to help you make this process fun and memorable, a post-wedding gallery reveal celebration, a custom wedding album design and honestly - just so much more.

I am available for local full day weddings and elopements anywhere in Phoenix and Sedona, all over the desert southwest as well as other destination locations nationwide. 

Wedding day coverage with Ashley Durham begins at 3900.

What's the difference between hiring me and someone else?

Not only will you get beautiful photos, but, you're getting someone who will walk with you through the entire wedding process from start to finish!

In the pre-wedding prep, I will:
  • Help guide you through the craziness of planning a wedding, to ensure you get the best photos possible
  • Create a customized wedding timeline for photography purposes for your day, based on your wants and needs
  • Offer recommendations on trusted local vendors
  • Reduce the amount of stress in planning 
  • Assist you with outfit selection(s) and location(s) for your engagement photos

And then, during the wedding?
  • Be your wedding day BFF 
  • Keep the day as stress-free as humanly possible
  • Make sure the family photos are fast, fun and easy 
  • Work fast so your spouse-to-be as well as your wedding party actually has fun during photos
  • Be a buffer between you and your loving but sometimes overbearing fill-in-the-blank-family-member (IYKYK)

Finally, after the wedding?
  • Send you a small wedding preview gallery within 48 hours so you can immediately revel in your newlywed joy, order thank you cards with your photos on them, and print out a family photo to give to your parents
  • Deliver your full gallery within 12 weeks
  • Share your images with your vendors so they won't pester you for them (with permission, of course!)
  • Help guide you through the process of designing your keepsake wedding album and filling your home with wall art from your favorite day ever
  • Be your friend for life

When you're hiring me, you're not just getting someone who takes great photos, but you're getting someone who will walk with you through the entire wedding process from start to finish. I am not a "show up and ask who the bride is" kind of photographer; I am the "get-out-of-your-makeup-chair to hug me when I get there" kind of friend, who happens to also take incredible photos. And trust me, there's a huge difference between the two!

Basically, I will be your wedding day BFF ... and not to get all corny, but, to quote our Friends Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe ... 

So, congratulations on your engagement and I can't wait to be your wedding photographer in Phoenix!

I'll be there for youuuuu ...
