CREATIVE DIRECTOR, ASHLEY GERRITY
leads the team of Philadelphia Wedding Photographers at Ashley Gerrity Photography.

 

Ashley is an intensely driven, detail-oriented, plant-based fan of excellent food, and exhilarating romance. She also happens to be a passionate editorial wedding photographer. Her approach to photography is simple–take the time to get to know each and every couple and work with their style to create breathtaking, personal images. She brings together a diverse background in both the visual and performing arts to craft your wedding story through fine art imagery that you will pass on for generations to come.

 

Ashley finds beauty in every person she photographs. It is an honor to be able to capture some of the most pivotal moments in our clients’ lives. She is a true romantic at her core and you just might find her tearing up behind the lens during your vows or first dance. Ashley loves creating intimate and beautiful portraits in an editorial style, while documenting every last detail of your day.

 

In addition to running Ashley Gerrity Photography, Ashley has been an industry educator & media personality, featured as a regular contributor to Dream Weddings magazine, taught a weekly business webinar for creatives, and giving back to the wedding industry through speaking engagements, workshops, & podcasts! She was a founding leader of the Philadelphia TuesdaysTogether Chapter, a board member of Philadelphia's Wish Upon a Wedding Chapter, & is an active member of NACE Philadelphia.

 

When she isn’t helping you enjoy every last moment of your wedding day, 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.

Whether working to craft complementary video timelines or overseeing our social media campaigns, Kiersten has become an integral part of life behind the scenes at AGP.

LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER, ANN BLAKE brings a classical portrait perspective to the wedding day.


Since 2015, Ann has been an amazing addition to our team of Philadelphia wedding photographers. However, she brings with her nearly a decade of professional wedding photography experience from the years before she joined AGP.

 

Not only a talented photographer, Ann is a nurse who spends a great deal of time caring for others. The fondest memories of her childhood were spending endless hours perusing the pages and reminiscing with family over prints and albums. Watching her sons embrace their family’s photographic history motivates her every day to capture everyday moments.

 

Because of this, human connection is at the forefront of her mind every time she picks up a camera. Her goal with every photograph, is to create beautiful and relaxed images that capture who you are today. She believes in community building, love, and serving the world through her photography skills.

LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER, SERENA PARSONS, may be the "newest" photographer on the team, but she brings nearly 15 years of wedding photography experience to the table!

 

First working with Ashley in 2010 as part of Ashley's own wedding team, she proved herself to be an incredibly talented photographer. Having earned national acclaim as an up & coming boudoir photographer, Serena has had the opportunity to travel and teach photography throughout her career.

 

Serena's mission has always been to use photography to help people see themselves in a beautiful way. Bringing this perspective to weddings goes far beyond just beautiful portraits - it informs her eye as she watches for all of the in-between moments filled with beautiful emotions. As a new mom, Serena understands just how fleeting time is and embraces photography as a way to hold onto these emotions.as memories fade.

 

When she isn't behind the camera, Serena can be found immersing herself in manga, anime, and video games with her husband, Dave, their little girl, and many fur-babies.

PHOTOGRAPHER, JENN ZIEGLER
has honed her style & approach over three years on the AGP team.

Ever since Jenn took her first photography class in high school, a fire was ignited inside her. She realized her passion and pursued it academically by attending Antonelli Institute for Photography. Jenn has been a part of the Ashley Gerrity Photography team since her second year of art school and is thrilled to be spending more time behind the camera. After earning her wings as one of our intern/assistants, Jenn has stepped into her role shooting with the team at AGP with ease.

Jenn loves to capture timeless moments between loved ones, family, friends, and even the furry ones! She loves to be behind the camera so that you can truly live in the moments you’ll want to remember forever.

In her free time Jenn enjoys traveling and relaxing in nature. With a house full of dogs to keep her company, she finds calmness within all the excitement of a wedding day.

 

PHOTOGRAPHER, LIAM GORDON
is the newest import to the team of Philadelphia Wedding Photographers.

Liam took a long and winding road to discovering his passion for photography.

His first real camera was inherited from his grandfather in 2011. The half-used roll of film inside held photos of him playing in the garden from 1991. After experiencing the magic of photography first hand, he’s devoted his art to capturing weddings and other milestones of life. Liam spends his summers working with youth as a camp photographer. He loves that a camera gives him the ability to freeze the fleeting moments & joy of life in the outdoors.

After spending the majority of his life in southwest Scotland, he has hopped the pond to live in Philadelphia with his new wife. The American contingent at Ashley Gerrity Photography is happy to announce that he has converted from tea and soccer to coffee and football. He’ll never let go of his Scottish accent, though, and it works wonders at charming wedding parties into listening when he talks.

When Liam doesn’t have a camera in his hand, he’s looking for travel opportunities, road trips, trails to hike and mountains to snowboard on.
