Purveyors of heirlooms that become part of your lasting legacy

ASHLEY LUDAESCHER

With over 15 years of professional experience and a bachelor’s degree in Commercial Photography & Portraiture from Brooks Institute of Photography, Ashley brings a trained technical eye and an ability to quickly adapt to every celebration she captures. Before she ever fell in love with luxury weddings, she began her career as a fashion and travel photographer in Paris over a decade ago—an experience that shapes how she shows up as a destination wedding photographer to this day. She knows just how to style and shoot her couples in a way that’s worthy of the pages of the most iconic publications—many of which her work has appeared in—and has a remarkable eye for lighting and landscapes.

A perfectionist who creates her best work under pressure, Ashley is quick to problem-solve and remains incredibly calm amidst stressful situations. Her deep appreciation for nature inspires and informs nearly every aspect of her professional and personal life—whether she’s capturing a wedding on the beaches of Positano or tending to her 60 (and counting) rose bushes at home in California.

ANDREAS LUDAESCHER

Andreas grew up on the edge of the ethereal Black Forest—a setting that inspired countless German fairytales—in a home that was (quite literally) walking distance to France. He has always had a profound love for travel and the beauty of the natural world—and especially appreciates that his role as a destination wedding photographer allows him to explore the States and regularly return to Europe.

Both analytical and creative, Andreas is one of the rare people who excels at using both sides of his brain. His background in accounting and finance allows him to take notice of the minutiae that others often overlook—while his ability to intuitively observe allows him to anticipate moments and remain fully present and prepared to capture them as they unfold. A born introvert, Andreas recharges by jogging, riding his bike, walking with his family, or—like any true German—over a good beer and great food.
