Stop searching! Book Ash!

It really is going to be difficult to articulate just how much of an impact Ash left on me and my wife, on our wedding day.

The whole experience was incredible, with Ash approaching our day not as a "job" but as an experience he wanted to be part of - he was as excited as us, to capture those moments and document the smiles, tears, laughter and drunk dancing (!).

The pre-wedding conversations were open and collaborative, and on the day Ash came and just elevated the day with his presence - his eye for a shot, his humanity and most of all his positivity and passion for what he clearly loves doing - taking your picture!

No question about it, we would do it all again exactly the same - do not hesitate, book Ash you will not regret it!

Thank you Ash, you literally made our day.

Fantastic photos and a wonderful photographer

We found Ash after browsing on Instagram and we were straight away attracted to his style of photography.

After only a short video call we were certain we wanted Ash to be our wedding photographer! He understood our requirements and challenges with having two shy children under the age of three. We could tell immediately that Ash was extremely personable and would fit into our day seamlessly.

On the day Ash managed to capture us and all of the guests (including our shy toddler!!) perfectly.

A particular highlight was receiving the sneak peaks the day after the wedding , we were amazed by the quality of the photography!

We have some fantastic photos to remember our special day and would recommend him to family and friends any time!

Fantastic!

We couldn't have wished for a better photographer to capture our wedding day. Ash was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, we really cannot rate him highly enough!

Seeing his portfolio online, his style was exactly what we were looking for - candid, natural shots, with an artistic flair. After our initial consultation over video call, his passion for photography, positivity, and general calming personality won us over.

On the day, he blended in with our guests perfectly. His laid back demeanour was evident, but he was also gently assertive when needed to get people together. His knowledge of the best photo spots in York was exactly what we needed, and our tour around the city was effortless.

Ash is a genuinely lovely person with an excellent eye for detail. All of our guests commented on how fabulous he was on the day, and we have received so many lovely comments from our many many photos he captured. Look no further!

The perfect choice

We couldn’t have chosen a better person for our day. Ash fit right in and captured the magic perfectly. Every guest from the wedding has mentioned how attentive, kind, and perfect ash was. Definitely the best decision we made, no ask was too much trouble. We had lots of children involved in our day, Ash worked perfectly with them capturing memories that they can treasure forever. We feel forever grateful to of chosen Ash.

If you want a friendly, cool, laid back photographer for your wedding, then Ash is for you! Ash created a special package for our wedding as we wanted to mostly capture us and the party after the ceremony. All our friends and family have commented on how amazing the pictures have shown this. With a 5 star service from start to finish, we would highly recommend x

August 2024 wedding

I came across Ash's work after looking for a photographer whose photos were fun, relaxed and more candid since I usually hate being Infront of the camera!

Throughout the booking process Ash was brilliant, it was a simple process and we had a chat before the big day and it what we did and didn't want... I knew I was in safe hands.

Ash was incredible, from the beginning right through to the end he captured so many parts of the wedding that could easily have been missed otherwise - his attention to detail was perfect. He was great at putting us both at ease, and fitted in perfectly to our day - I've had so many comments from guests saying how brilliant and friendly he was which I think helped make the photos to wonderful.

I would honestly encourage anyone considering Ash to go for it before he gets booked up!! So professional, yet easy going person... 100% recommend and wish we could do it all again!

Literally award winning pictures

Ash shot our wedding in September ‘24.

He was absolutely amazing and a delight to work with. He was always available and he answered every question (and we had many).

We are two un-photogenic people and we told Ash we were genuinely concerned about the pictures not looking great. Ash told us not to worry and went on to give us the most amazing wedding experience. Never in the way but captured every memorable moment through the day.

Ash is such an amazing photographer and the pictures came out so much better than we expected.

Get Ash, he’s definitely worth it.

Highly recommend!

Ash was such a pleasure to work with, I found organising the wedding extremely overwhelming but Ash made his part so easy. Always responsive even with a 13 hour time difference from NZ and put me totally at ease. He asked all the right questions, got to know us as a couple and as a result captured the day so perfectly. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

York Elopement

Ash was nothing but perfect! From our initial enquiry with himself, to pre wedding video calls and to the big day itself, he was absolutely brilliant with us.

Nothing felt too much to ask and he understood the kind of day we were after to a T! Chilled, nothing too posed and just nice natural shots of our entire party rather than just having the focus on ourselves. We really couldn’t have found a better fitting photographer to spend the day with and the pictures were more than we ever could have hoped for..

Being from out of the area, Ash also doubled as a brilliant tour guide and planned perfectly our route around the city to ensure ourselves and guests didn’t miss anything York had to offer. This all whilst capturing the most beautiful images of us all without even realising, we really don’t know how he does it!

Our wedding was only a small one, this being just ourselves, our 2 little ones and a handful of close friends, all of whom couldn’t speak highly enough of Ash. He really did feel like more of a friend / guest who just fitted right in rather than a photographer, this something that we were initially a little daunted by when first looking into booking this service..

We’ve had so many lovely compliments about our pictures and even friends enquiring about whether he would be available for their own big days. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t have anybody else..

So thank you Ash, we’ll forever be grateful we were lucky enough to stumble across yourself.

Best photographer EVER!!

We are absolutely blown away by Ash! From start to finish, he was amazing, friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. The entire experience was above and beyond our expectations. Ash made us feel so comfortable, like having another friend with us on our special day. It was easy to talk to him, and his attention to detail and creative vision truly shone through in every photo. We’ll cherish these photos forever, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Ash is hands down the best photographer you could ever want, and we will never have enough thank you’s for everything he did!

Cannot reccomend enough!

We had our wedding in August and were fortunate to have Ash as our photographer. Since our wedding was small and intimate, we were initially worried about having someone we didn’t know there and feared we’d be taken away for hours of posed photos. However, Ash was nothing like that! From our first conversation, he was warm, friendly, and immediately put us at ease—even offering helpful suggestions for the day’s schedule when I reached out to him in a panic on a random Sunday.

On the wedding day, Ash blended in seamlessly and somehow seemed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. He knew the best spots in York for stunning photos, had an eye for capturing the perfect shot, was open to trying different ideas, and knew exactly when we needed a break. He even helped arrange a quiet, much-needed moment for my husband and me to be alone.

Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how lovely Ash was, and the photos are simply breathtaking! He perfectly captured the essence of our day, balancing moody, artistic shots with fun, energetic poses and sweet candid moments. The amount of positive feedback we’ve received on our wedding photos has been overwhelming!

I can’t recommend Ash enough. If I could hire him for every event, I absolutely would!

Don't really know where to start to convey just how thankful we are that we chose Ash as our wedding photographer. A true professional, lovely guy and such a breeze to work with. We didn't even know he was there half the time. If you're looking for natural wedding pictures then Ash is your guy. Thanks again so much Ash, we'll cherish the pictures forever

Look no further than Ash- Truly amazing and talented!

All the reviews do not give justice as to how amazing Ash is!. He was recommended to us by a friend and we did not hesitate to ask him. Ours was a very small event and Ash was perfect for this. From start to finish to the communication was amazing. He was enthusiastic, creative but in no way overwhelming. He is very calm and relaxed and exceptionally talented. We are a very quirky couple and he went with every idea and enhanced it further. He puts you massively at ease on the day and got on so well with us and the guests. If your York based like us, go for Ash!. He loves the city and knows it better than any local. He has the best shots and has amazing creativity. He is exceptionally patient even when we needed a quick break (Don't wear high heels on the cobbles in York). He is a really nice guy and we simply enjoyed getting to know him and him being there. He was just like one of the guests in the end and it was a pleasure to have him there. Would 100% recommend him for your wedding and check out his non wedding shots, its amazing. Thank you so much Ash!

Couldn’t ask for a better photographer

Ash has been absolutely fantastic, from our first meeting to our wedding day we couldn’t have been happier. Ash is super friendly, and listens to everything you want. We originally got married in December, but also had a party in July, and for both he was amazing. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and can’t wait to see him again for photos with our little girl.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
