2023 & 2024 Booking Guide

From the most spectacular views in Chicago to destinations afar, Artistrie Co. is a boutique wedding photography studio that masterfully crafts timeless images that are equally balanced in beauty and emotion

Meet Ashley Biess, Owner of Artistrie Co.

My greatest joy as a wedding photographer is coming to know my clients as friends and capturing their day in a way that feels personable and genuine to them. 

I’m known for my calming presence, professionalism and innate ability to make everyone feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera. Hopefully we’ll feel like best friends in 10 minutes!

And while I’ll certainly capture a blend of magazine-worthy portraits and beautiful details, my speciality lies in capturing the candid moments and emotions that make your day so special and unique.

I hope this guide will serve as a jumping off point for how to work together! I look forward to connecting and hearing more about your wedding plans.

Pricing at a glance

My minimum investment for any Friday, Saturday or Sunday date is $6,500 which includes 8 hours of coverage and a second photographer.

Pricing can range upwards to around $10,000 depending on what you'd like to have included.



With over 14 years in the wedding industry, I don't believe in the "one-size-fits-all" package approach when it comes to photography.

Instead, I prefer to create custom Photography Proposals to ensure my clients have the experience they deserve.

If you'd like to see if my pricing is aligned with your wedding budget, please email me at ashley@artistrieco.com the following:

-Your wedding date & venue
-Your photography budget
-Hours of coverage needed
-If you need an engagement session
-If you'd like a wedding album
-Additional events that require photography

Packages

Email Artistrie Co.

To reserve your wedding date, I require a signed letter of Agreement and a 40% deposit.

You can submit payment via Zelle, check by mail or credit card. Please note there is a 5% transaction fee for all credit card payments. 

Your remaining balance will be due 2 weeks prior to your wedding date. 

Book Your Date

Instead of having preset packages, I prefer to customize my offerings to my clients so they can get exactly what they want. 

We'll meet to review a custom Photography Proposal. The packages presented will be in alignment with your needs and preferred budget. 

You can expect pricing to range between $6,500-$10,000, depending on what you are hoping to have included.

Review a Custom Proposal

Because I value building relationships with my clients, I love starting things off with a phone call so we can get to know each other and talk about the wedding photos of your DREAMS and how we can bring them to life. 

We'll use this call to determine if we're a good fit to work together and I'll answer all of your questions.

If we agree that we're a good fit, we'll schedule a meeting to review a custom photography proposal designed around your preferred needs and budget.

How to Work Together

I strive to photograph your wedding day in a natural, unobtrusive way so you can enjoy and celebrate to the fullest!

I'll step in and direct when needed... your first look and portraits especially... but for the rest of the day, I try to blend in and I hope you'll hardly notice me. 

My client, Lisa, said it best: "Ashley and her team were both present and somehow invisible all at once. How we ended up with hundreds of photos capturing every emotion and detail we will never understand."

Have the Wedding of your dreams!

Approximately 3-6 weeks before your event, we'll meet and review all the wedding details to ensure photography runs smoothly. 

I'll fully take care of you when it comes to photography so you can relax, enjoy and be present on your wedding day.

During this meeting, we'll review your family photo list, select locations for portraits, discuss any special requests you may have, talk about the moments you are most excited about and finalize any logistics.

Prepare for your Wedding

I highly encourage my clients to include an engagement session in their packages. This is optional, of course, but it's such a great way for us to get to know each other and make you feel 100% confident in front of the camera before the big day!

As soon as you book your date, you're welcome to schedule your engagement session.

Because my weekends are reserved for weddings, I'm available for engagement sessions Mondays through Thursdays. Turnaround time to receive your finished photos is typically 2-4 weeks.

Wedding Gallery Samples

So you can see my work from start to finish on a wedding day, I'm providing 3 links to full wedding galleries below. I hope these show you my complete photography style. 

I ask that you do the same with any other photographer you may be considering.

When you inquire, I'll be happy to send additional samples as requested.

She captured every single detail. The portraits were natural and easy - capturing the emotion, joy and many laughs that made our wedding day so special.

Her care and attention to quality is unmatched and her thoughtfulness is incredible. I mean it when I say that Ashley is one of the best. We absolutely adore her!"

"Ashley just has a way about her and with the things she does — she is so thoughtful, creative, kind and an absolute joy to work with.
