documentary wedding photography

Relaxed, natural wedding photography for couples who want to feel present, not posed.

Hi, I’m Ashley, and I promise I won’t turn your wedding into a photoshoot.

I photograph weddings in a natural, documentary way, which basically means I’m there to capture what actually happens, not to stage moments or direct the day. No barking orders, no awkward posing, and definitely no “stand there and pretend to laugh” moments.

We’ll still take time for portraits, but in a relaxed way. After the ceremony, I’ll usually steal you away for a few quiet minutes together, a breather from everything, while I capture some natural portraits without it feeling like a big production. 

When I married my wife Becky, I realised just how quickly a wedding day goes by. One minute you’re walking down the aisle, the next you’re wondering how it’s already the evening. That’s why my focus is always on helping couples enjoy the day as it happens, not spend it worrying about photos.

I keep things simple, relaxed, and easy from start to finish. I only take on a limited number of weddings each year so you have my full care and attention and the photos you deserve.

Stories From the Couples I’ve Had the Privilege to Capture.

I work with a limited number of couples each year so I can give every wedding my full attention. Reading their reflections after the day, genuinely means so much.

I knew from Ashley’s previous work that his photos would be amazing, but I hadn’t quite realised just how personable, fun and engaging he would be. He instantly put both me and my bride at ease, and many guests commented on how unobtrusive he was throughout the day. Countless people have since told us how brilliantly the pictures capture the mood and atmosphere of the day: we honestly couldn’t be happier.

You truly get what you pay for, and I would recommend Ashley wholeheartedly to anyone who wants their day captured with genuine care and artistry.

What an incredible man. His works sells itself, it’s obviously amazingly creative, effortless in-fact. His style of photography is super current and very cool as you can see, but in the end people buy people and you’re going to struggle to find a better one. On your wedding day you want someone who can interact with guests with ease, someone who can be ultra personable and friendly to everyone. Someone who makes all of the guests feel special and who can get the best out of each of them. They need to be very present at times and invisible at others. Ideally you want them there from early morning until the Sambuccas start flowing at the end of the night. Ashley is all that I’ve just described in spades…and then some! He’s a super talent with a super personality to match. We got married on a Friday and he told me we’d have our finished pictures by Wednesday night! He lied! We got them by Tuesday night instead. If anything this bloke under sells himself. Everyone loved him, he knew just the right thing to do and say, he was kind, he was awesome! Best photographer you’re going to find full stop.

Ashley was amazing from start to finish. He was extremely flexible and really fitted in with what we wanted. What stood out was how personable and friendly he was and so many of our guests commented on this. He took many incredible pictures during the day but never interfered with other things going on which helped it to be such a relaxed atmosphere. A very professional service! Would highly highly recommend.
