ASHLEIGH CROPPER

Hi there!

I’m Ashleigh; the photographer behind Red Aspen Photography. I grew up in Southern Oregon with the lush, green, dewy forest as my backyard. If you needed to find me, I was most likely outside with my little film camera that my parents gifted me for my 7th birthday. I have been photos my whole life, and professional for the last eight years.

I am based in both Ashland, Oregon and Boulder, Colorado, but travel all over for my work.

I am both a storyteller and a historian. I always feel like I’m capturing history as it unfolds right in front of me.

It’s a very special opportunity to have others trust me and my work. I do not take it lightly and feel honored to express these stories and memories through images.

I love to incorporate the amazing landscape we have on the West Coast to the incredible mountains in the Rockies—the rich colors, tall canyons, thick forests, winding rivers, alpenglow, and natural light.

My focus is on my couples and families feeling comfortable in front of my camera (because the truth is…it takes some warming up to!) I will not be putting you in stiff poses or weird positions, but rather, give you directions and allow for real moments to happen.

I want you to be yourselves and I help you have a relaxed and fun time together, whether that is running through a field, playing silly games, or enjoying a quiet, gorgeous view. Before long, you’ll forget the camera is there and feel instead like we’re just hanging out!

I have been featured over 35 times in magazines and wedding blogs. BRIDES Magazine named my work one of the best wedding images of 2018. My work can be found in People Magazine, ABC, Green Wedding Shoes, BRIDES, Rocky Mountain Bride, and many more.

And I must add, I feel honored to be invited into telling these stories and expressing who you are through images. Thank you for stopping by here!
