Photojournalistic Wedding Photographers in Midwest City, OK

I like to think I'm a pretty simple gal. On a regular day, you’ll find me wearing all black, editing away, and eating popcorn [the all-time best snack food, in my humble, yet incredibly accurate opinion.] I am based in Oklahoma City, but I prefer to live out of a suitcase. I have been photographing everything basically my entire life. About 5 years ago I shot my first wedding, and I realized I am a lover of love + it shows in everything I do. I discovered that I truly feel all the feels when I am telling a love story, and I want it to be yours next.

I am a passionate photographer from the United States. My goal is to capture the moments that mean the most to you. I will work hard to get the perfect shot and ensure you receive high quality images to share with your friends and family for years to come. I have served in the United States Air Force for the last 18 years. I have deployed 6 times to over 20 different Areas within the Middle East and Africa. It is my passion to build others to become better versions of themselves and what better way to do this by capturing moments that take your breath away.

I am so honored that you are here, reading this and seeing my work. I am originally from a small town in Puerto Rico living in Oklahoma. While completing my graduate studies in Biology, I found a love for photography that grew fairly quickly! Because of this, I would find myself taking photos of all the everyday things that caught my eye. Little did I know this passion would lead me to become a professional wedding and portraits photographer! It opened my mind on how the things we experience everyday, can become treasures. So it became my passion, to capture moments in order to be able to always remember them and make them... timeless.

Hey guys, i’m Ashley Williams! I wanted to share a little bit about me! I’ve been married to a tall bearded man named Stephen for 4 years now and we have a little dachshund named Remi and a cockapoo named Kingston! We also just had our first baby this past September! Her name is Lennon Rayne! I picked up a camera 6 years ago thinking I had a lot of free time on my hands so why not put my skills to use. Looking back I never thought this would become such a passion of mine.

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera. I documented everything. So I can go back & revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most of which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

The word ‘milieu’ defines how we want to capture your wedding: as whole of scenery. Any experience is the result of a series of moments and feeling of our interaction with others.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

Hi Friend! If you would've asked me 7 years ago what I thought I'd be doing as a career, I would've never said photography. I always thought that an office job was the dream job for me. I have always loved taking photos & being creative, but I never thought it could be anything more than a hobby. Growing up I always felt like an outsider. I was always bigger than other girls, I was always darker & never felt pretty enough. I would look in the mirror & wonder why I didn't look like the girls at school.
