Couldn’t have asked for better

Ash was cool and professional right from the start. Nothing was an issue, he went with the flow. The weather didn’t really allow for many formal style photos but the moments he captured so beautifully were priceless. Absolutely delighted with the photos. Thank you so much for capturing our special day. Ash & Paul x

Very happy

Ash was very relaxed and friendly in the photos that he took. He listened to us when we asked him to take certain ones. He took lots of planned photos but also real life photos that are lovely. We highly recommend him and would definitely use him again

Excellent!

Ash is not only a great photographer, but a true professional. He is friendly, relaxed and approachable. He arrived at our venue ahead of time and made us feel calm and at ease throughout the day. He listened to what photos we would like and made sure we got them, but had many of his own great suggestions too. He captured so many wonderful memories of our day that we will cherish for years to come. You can certainly rely on Ash to capture every special moment. Thank you so much First Light Photography for being part of our special day, we wish you all the best! Jazz & John.

Aah photographed our wedding day for at limpley stoke hotel he was well presented and profession from booking him.until after the wedding.

Ash was amazing he captured everything we wanted and more. Managed to make all our photos look natural and not staged. So many people commented on how good he was and how he made them feel at ease. Had some sneek peeks to look at the next day and the rest of them soon after to help with the post wedding blues. Would highly recommend him.

Our wedding photos

What can we say but wow! This guy is brilliant, we had our Wedding on Monday and by Tuesday we had a couple of sneak peeks and wow they were just perfect! This was such a nice touch as it keeps you in the moment and excited for more.
He was so quick with editing and sending back, the trouble was we had so many absolutely amazingly photos to choose from! It was just perfect.
I’m not very photogenic but wow I’m in love with our photos, he captured so many wonderful moments and so many natural shots.
During the day we felt so at ease, he is such a lovely guy, well presented and through the ceremony and speeches we hardly knew he was there. But he was getting the perfect natural shots.
And when we did the photo section he was patient and not at all over powering which o know sometimes can happen and couples get lost on the do this do that, our photo session was so enjoyable, personal and gave us time together which felt like just us. We laughed and smiled the whole time. We are so pleased with our choice and wouldn’t use anyone else, such a hardworking guy and brilliant value.
Thank you Ash

Our Wedding

We booked Ash for our Fruday wedding + Reception, and our Saturday Wedding Party Night. Hexwas so easy to work with. He took candid photos of our guests, captured our two days with its fun, laughter, and all the very serious stuff. He did everything we asked, and more besides. We got the digital photos really quickly. We have nothing negative whatsoever to say. Book him. You won't be disappointed

Flexible and friendly

Ash was very flexible after a change in plans to the entire structure to our day last minute. One of the only photographers we found who was happy to just be around for an hour as we had a ceremony only. He still managed almost 200 photos in that time. Barely even noticed him around all photos were lovely and candid as we asked. With very few posed shots. Natural and bright photography . Photos were sent over quickly
