One of our best decisions!

Paul was amazing! We had a brilliant pre shoot and used the photos to display on the day and our wedding newspaper. On the day he gave us so much direction, made us feel comfortable infront of the camera, he was professional and funny! His passion for his work really shows in our beautiful wedding photos. You’ll be in safe hands having Paul as your photographer, so grateful to have him on our special day!

Kirstin & Dan’s Athens wedding!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow wow wow — our photos are incredible!!

Paul made a whirlwind trip to Athens to capture our special day, and from the moment he arrived, he slotted in as one of the crew from the get go. He adapted to the extreme summer heat, joined right in with the fun, and even clambered up and down cliffs to get ‘the shot’ - talk about going above and beyond!

Paul put us and our families completely at ease while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and joyful. The photos are everything we hoped for and more — full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. We’ll cherish them forever!

Outstanding!!!

We had our wedding on the 12th July, and this review is very overdue (apologies, Paul!) but here goes.

We first met Paul during our pre-wedding shoot at the beautiful St Audrey’s. Neil was very nervous at the start, but by the end of the shoot we both came away absolutely buzzing, knowing without a doubt that we’d made the right choice in choosing you.

Fast forward to our wedding day at Pennard House, the hottest day of the year! Paul went above and beyond to capture the most beautiful shots despite the blazing heat. Not only did he remain professional and patient throughout, but his nursing background also came in handy when the bride fainted at the altar! He handled everything with such calmness and care, which we’ll never forget.

Paul, thank you so much for your kindness, creativity, and the incredible memories you’ve given us. We can’t recommend you highly enough!

Highly highly recommend!

Paul Aston is one of a kind

Your wedding day is easily the best day of your life, the second best is the day you receive your photos from Paul Aston. Paul not only captured our day beautifully, he added to it with his infectious personality and his ability to take away all of the anxieties and stress you face on your day.

On the day it felt like we'd known Paul forever and while that isn't true, during that blink and you'll miss it period we got to experience not only how exceptional Paul is as a photographer but also how exceptional Paul is as a person. I could not recommend him higher. Thank you Paul.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

There are not enough words to express how grateful and appreciative we are for having Paul Aston as our photographer! From booking him, to the big day, Paul made it so easy, comfortable and fun. He took away any anxieties and we were able to let loose and got the most perfect photos that make us beam and cry all at once when we look back on our day!
We have so many comments from family and guests to say how funny Paul was and what a great addition he made to the day because he absolutely did! Paul felt like more than our photographer, he felt like a friend - thank you, thank you, thank you! 🥰

Our wedding day 🫶🏼

I don’t even know how to put it into words how grateful we are that Paul photographed our wedding. He really is the best of the best!!
Paul made us feel so comfortable which completely shines through in the photos. It was genuinely like having another friend at the day. He laughed with not only us but also was so approachable to other members of our party.
We have had the most wonderful compliments on our photos and that’s all down to Paul. The photos are absolutely beautiful and he captured our day so perfectly.
We cannot thank you enough Paul, we have the BEST photos for life 🫶🏼💕💒👰‍♀️🤵🏼

The best of the best!

Before booking with Paul, we knew how busy his schedule was this year and were even ready to change our wedding date to suit him. But Paul, being the kind and accommodating person he is, insisted and managed to fit us in — and we’re so glad he did. Paul Aston, his work partner, and his talented daughter were incredible from start to finish. They captured every single moment — from the big emotional vows to the little glances and laughs in between — without ever feeling intrusive. On the day, they were calm, friendly, and so easy to be around, and they truly felt like part of our family. Looking through our photos, we’re blown away by how beautifully they’ve told the story of our day. We love them dearly and are forever grateful for the memories they’ve given us. ❤️❤️❤️

Best photographer ever!!

One of our highlights of our wedding day was having Paul as our wedding photographer. We highly recommend Paul! From first meeting him over video call before booking, to our engagement shoot, to the actual wedding day Paul has been amazing! He is such a calm and fun person to have with you on your special day. All of our guests kept saying how great he was too, and he felt like he was one of our guests, and got on so well with everyone! And importantly he is also SO talented. Our pictures are so beautiful and something we will cherish. One of the best decisions we made was booking Paul to capture our day. Don’t hesitate and book him now!!

Paul is the BEST!

It was such an incredible pleasure having Paul as our wedding photographer. We selected a package that included a pre-wedding photoshoot, which was SO worth it as not only did we get some cracking photos, it helped us to get to know Paul and take away some of the nerves when it comes to having your photo taken. We had such a great time at this shoot, that we knew our wedding was going to be in good hands. But nothing could have prepared me for what a pillar Paul would be on our wedding day!

From the moment he arrived right up until the sun went down on our wedding day, Paul brought incredible energy! He provided us with such kindness and support; being there for me specifically when the nerves were high, Paul was so calm and quick to think on his feet, and ended up making a suggestion that led to my most cherished memory of the whole day.

So many of our guests commented on his amazing personality and his true professionalism! He knew exactly how to coordinate people and the results were outstanding. We also were not conscious of him nor his second photographer Matt, being around at all. When looking at the photos, we regularly said "I don't remember there being a photographer there!" which just shows how inconspicuous they can be on the day, so the important moments really feel like it's just you and your loved ones.

It was an amazing suprise to wake up the next morning and already see a handful of stunning photos posted to social media. He also got our full wedding gallery back to us a mere 3 weeks after our wedding! And the photos!!!!!! There's going to be no visible wall space in our house anymore, because we want to frame every single one!

Thank you again Paul, you were an integral part of our day and we would not have had it any other way.

1000x recommend. Book Paul now!

Talented, lovely human and quick turnaround - highly recommend!

I don't even know where to begin to describe how amazing it was to have Paul as part of our wedding day. It was honestly like having a friend that we got to hang out with all day. He has such an infectious and kind personality. He made every single person at our wedding feel acknowledged and special, all of our guests have fed back to us how amazing he was.

He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, to be honest we forgot the camera was even there. The quality of his photos are second to none, he is an incredibly talented photographer! The photos we have back our breathtaking and they capture all of the emotion and happiness of our day.

I also am astounded by the speed with which he got our photos back to us - 3 weeks! 😱 but also to wake up the day after our wedding to an instagram post already up and be able to relive the day immediately was so special!

Honestly Paul, we cannot thank you enough for everything. You are truly a special person and one of a kind ❤️

The best!!

A work colleague recommended Paul to us, and the moment I saw his work, I knew he had to be our wedding photographer—this was even before we had chosen a venue! Leading up to the wedding, we chatted with Paul several times so he could understand our vision and get to know us. From the very beginning, he was amazing.

On the wedding day, we had the added bonus of a second shooter, Viv, who is just as talented and wonderful as Paul. Our stunning photos reflect how natural, relaxed, and fun Paul was throughout the day, perfectly capturing its true spirit. Many of our guests have said the same, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Paul and Viv as part of our day!
