Chicago Wedding & Boudoir Photographer

See the moments that matter...
Photography is an art of INTUITION—knowing when to step back and when to lean in, capturing the weight of a moment before it unfolds.
From quiet anticipation to heartfelt laughter or the confidence of self-expression, my work is about CAPTURING WHAT'S FELT just as much as what’s seen.
With a timeless, film-inspired approach, I create images that don’t just document but DEEPLY REMEMBER.

Moments
As Seen In
"With every interaction, we were left feeling so seen, comforted, and aligned in our vision for how we wanted our weekend to be! We have loved reliving our wedding through her lens."
"Tender moments that may have lasted only a second, we have memorized in film. If you place value in the moments we live, I could not recommend Ashley anymore than I do."
She was both present and invisible all at once, capturing every emotion and detail in a way we’ll never understand. The time, commitment, and experience she provided calmed our nerves, injected fun and silliness, and gave us BEAUTIFUL photos we will cherish for a lifetime.
It was the care, kindness and love that Ashley poured into the entire experience that made the difference.
Client Love Notes
Let’s create something beautiful together.
MEET ASHLEY
Some moments pass in a heartbeat, but the right photograph lets you hold onto them forever.
My work is guided by presence—sensing the hush before vows are spoken, the quiet electricity between lovers, the beauty of being fully seen. With a candid, artful approach, I capture moments as they unfold naturally, unposed yet deeply intentional.
Whether I’m capturing the tenderness of a wedding day, the intimacy of an engagement or the quiet confidence of boudoir, my goal is always the same: to preserve something real, something honest, something that lingers long after the moment has passed.
The Artistrie Co. Experience is more than just a collection of beautiful photos; it's about the art of reading a room and understanding how to delicately, unobtrusively capture a moment-in-time.
Photographer Ashley Biess founded Artistrie Co. with the belief that every person has a story to tell.
