Ashley, photographing a wedding from a castle in Lisbon, Portugal.

I have been taking pictures for as long as I was allowed to play with a camera. My Mom and Dad were always taking pictures of my four other brothers and sisters when we were younger. Looking through the albums now really gives me an appreciation for the timelessness of photography and photos.

Graduating from Seattle Pacific University in 2008 I received my B.A. in business and immediately flew to Costa Rica. In Costa Rica I expanded my knowledge on photography, Spanish, and the beautiful people who live there. After spending a few months in Costa Rica I came back to my home -town in Southern California to open Apicturelife Photography.

I am a photographer who understands that the wedding industry is driven by love and emotion and as a woman I am connected to that.

MISSION

More than capturing an object through the lens
of a camera, photography is about preserving the moment over and over again. To do such requires that special connection between the photographer and the significance of the object. So preserved it can then be passed on to the person who views the photograph, direct from their eye to their reflecting heart. Ashley M. Williams offers that special connection with your choice of subjects - straight to your heart felt memories.
