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!

Look no further as you’ve just found the best of the best

We don’t even know how to start this review, words cannot describe how amazing Paul is. He is not just a phenomenal photographer which is clearly seen in his photos, but he is just the most wonderful person to be with you to share your special day with. You can clearly see how much he loves his job and we could see his brain ticking all day to find spots and ideas to get the amazing images he produces.

He radiates so much energy and positive vibes for the entire day, got so many people evolved and honestly felt like he was part of the fam and someone we have known for years. Not only was he a great photographer but he helped us in so many ways on the day and he was a great support when small things didn’t go to plan and adapted so quickly.

We cannot honestly thank Paul enough and recommend him enough to anyone reading this. Even from the initial engagement photoshoot we just knew we were so lucky to find such an amazing photographer and person for our day! And Jase concurs that pineapple does belong on pizza! Thank you so so much again we are beyond grateful!

The BEST photographer in the world

Paul was incredible, he is so funny and up for anything. He is also so good at checking in with us and making sure we are okay at all times. He brought life to the day, with brilliant energy.

The photos are brilliant, they capture everything about us. His vision is amazing and eye for detail. I want to say a massive thank you to Paul and encourage everyone to have the most amazing day with Paul

The best photographer!

We honestly couldn’t have picked a better photographer than Paul.

From the start, he was brilliant… really easy to chat to, super responsive, and the check-in calls before the wedding made everything feel calm and under control. On the day, he was there from the morning right through to after the first dance, capturing everything without it ever feeling forced or over the top.

Of course, the photos are incredible (we’re completely obsessed), but what really made Paul stand out was just him. He’s so personable, easygoing and just a genuinely lovely person to have around. Weddings can be a bit full on, but he brought such a calm, fun energy to the day. It honestly felt like having another friend there rather than “the photographer”.

He also knew the venue really well, which made such a difference; he seemed to know exactly where to go and when, and it shows in the photos.

Photography was a big deal for us, so we put a lot of trust in who we chose. We already loved Paul’s work beforehand, but somehow he still managed to exceed all expectations. When we got our gallery back, we just felt so lucky.

Our friends and family have all said the same thing: how great he was to be around. By the end of the day, he didn’t feel like a supplier at all, just another special part of it.

We’d recommend Paul in a heartbeat

Picture Perfect!!!

Where do we start?!! We are in awe and absolutely love our wedding photos, they’re unbelievable and we look incredible in them. Paul literally had some photos ready the morning after our wedding! Thank you so much for turning them around so quickly!
We also just wanted to say thank Paul so much for everything you did for us on the day. Obviously the whole thing was incredible, but with Paul and Sam (videographer) helping to navigate us through the day it just made things so much easier for us… they were both so helpful. We had such great fun with them both and cannot wait to see all the other shots taken! As well as Paul being so fun and a great organiser, Paul is very patient with the size of our wedding party and navigating us all through group photos (it’s not always easy). Our wedding day was perfect but Paul really did make it extra special! Paul is very talented and if you’re in the area you must and should use Paul 100%!! Thank you again Paul and Phoebe

Best wedding photographer ever!

Paul was fantastic from start to finish. When we initially met Paul he was so friendly and calm that we were immediately put at ease. During our meeting before the wedding Paul did a brilliant job of walking us through what he usually does and if there is anything specific we wanted. He listened to the fact that I said I cannot take posed photos seriously and when we did a few of those photos on the day he made me feel completely comfortable.

Throughout the day Paul was fantastic! He had a chat with everyone and made everybody feel comfortable. Paul managed to get shots of everyone during the day and our favourite (and many others) shot, is one that Paul said he’d been trying to get forever, a shot at night in the rain and it was magical. Paul’s photos captured precious moments that we will always cherish.

If you want the best experience ever, pick Paul!

Paul was truly the perfect photographer for our wedding day. As an old friend, he already knew us so well, which made everything feel natural, relaxed, and genuinely fun from start to finish. From the moment he arrived, he brought such positive energy and helped set the tone for the entire day. He blended in effortlessly, made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. So many of our family members and friends commented on how wonderful he was—how kind, professional, and easy he made the whole experience.
What really sets Paul apart is his ability to capture real moments. The candid photos are incredible—full of laughter, movement, and the little in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening. At the same time, he captured the most emotional, heartfelt parts of the day with so much care and artistry. Every image tells a story, and together they perfectly reflect how meaningful the day was to us.
The photos themselves are absolutely breathtaking. The lighting, composition, and attention to detail are stunning, and the emotions come through so clearly in every shot. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the entire day all over again, from the quiet, intimate moments to the big celebrations. We are beyond grateful to have had Paul not only as our photographer, but as someone we trust and care about, capturing one of the most important days of our lives. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.

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!

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! 🥰
