Documenting you—exactly as you are—in your beautiful, natural, perfectly imperfect life. Focus on each other, not the lens. Enjoy what’s happening all around you and trust that the photographs will be just as true as what you’re experiencing.

“From the moment we first spoke with Becca, we knew she was the photographer for us. Becca's documentary style photography perfectly captured the essence of our day, blending candid moments with beautifully orchestrated portraits. She not only got the shots we requested but also captured those priceless emotional moments that made the day truly unforgettable. We have some absolutely stunning images of our family and friends that we will treasure forever. She seamlessly directed portraits when needed and even took the time to fix hair and adjust outfits, all while keeping the atmosphere light and fun. She and the second photographer were great with kids! They sang songs to get them smiling and got incredible shots! Becca was nothing short of perfect, and we are so thankful to have had her as part of our wedding. We genuinely look forward to working with her again in the future to capture more beautiful memories in our lives. If you're considering a photographer for your special day, look no further—Becca is simply the best!”

“The best thing I did for my wedding day (besides marrying my husband) was hiring Morby Photography, and having the extremely talented Daniel Fosse photograph our wedding!! Daniel is incredible. He acts as photographer, planner, MOH, comedian, he was exactly what we needed for our big day. When people ask what my favorite part about our wedding was, I tell them the moments Daniel took my husband and I away from everything, everyone, to capture just the two us. It was a nice break to take in the moment with just us. Daniel captured the two of us perfectly. A month later, and our family is still talking about Daniel. :)”

Ashley is an intensely driven, detail-oriented fan of excellent food and exhilarating romance & happens to be a passionate editorial wedding photographer. Her approach is simple–take the time to get to know each & every couple to create breathtaking, personal images. She brings together a diverse background in both the visual & performing arts to craft your wedding story through fine art imagery that you will pass on for generations to come. In her free time, she is probably snuggling with her two amazing dogs, commuting back & forth between her home in Maryland and our Malvern studio, or whipping up something extravagant in the kitchen.

“We received our photos from our July wedding and WOW is all I can say! Ashley and Michelle managed to capture our day perfectly. We chose bright colors for our summer wedding and didn't want them to look muted from editing. Ashley ensured us she captures "real life" and boy, did she deliver!! The colors pop and look stunning. We were so comfortable with Ashley & Michelle all day, and they really listened to what we wanted. They helped create a timeline for the day along with must take photos and kept everything moving & organized. There were multiple check-ins throughout the planning process, complete with thorough questionnaires that helped answer a lot of questions. We also used Ashley for our engagement photos, which helped us develop a relationship early on and we love those photos just as much as our wedding photos!!”

I tell love stories through real and natural photographs that feel like you. I’m drawn to the little moments—the way you look at each other, the quiet pauses, the laughs and happy tears shared with your closest people. These are the memories that matter most, and they should be remembered just as they happened. Every wedding is different, and it means so much to be trusted to save these moments in a way that will always feel true.

“Paulina Tran Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our pre-wedding shoot. From the very beginning, her communication was prompt, efficient and crystal clear in outlining exactly what they could offer. The quality of her work and overall value was truly top-notch - professional, fun, and with a clear no compromise policy. Paulina herself was instrumental in ensuring we felt relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire experience, which was so important given our initial stress about how the photos would turn out. She quickly picked up on our personalities and made sure to capture the most beautiful, authentic moments. Even for someone like me who generally shies away from public displays of affection, Paulina helped me feel at ease and the end result was simply stunning. We are thrilled with the memories Paulina Tran Photography was able to preserve for us from our special day.”
