Meet Matt Ashton

I’m most inspired by human connection and those in-between moments that give us the full picture - the unspoken detail and meaning of your love.

Capturing who you are, telling your story of what happens on arguably the most significant date in your relationship is an absolute honour that I never take for granted.

With a down-to-earth and relaxed approach, I bring a level of calm expertise to your special day to help you feel at ease and ensure we document what truly matters - the small and the big. It’s about forgetting that anyone’s documenting anything at all, and simply letting the moments unfold naturally.

The Experience

A style that can be described as genuine and unpretentious, I take the time to form real connections with couples so they feel relaxed and comfortable in my presence on arguably the most important day of their lives. My visual storytelling encapsulates the finer details that make your day truly distinctive and celebrate who you are as a couple, while also acknowledging the beauty of the surroundings that set the scene.
