Meet Matt Ashton

A Father. A husband. A Creative.

Your wedding day is all about you as a couple, and I'm here to ensure your beautiful story is authentically told. Weaving stories into frames, inspiring connection and capturing emotions is how I describe my craft. A builder by trade, I swapped tools five years ago to follow photography full time - a passion that ignited when a friend of mine asked me to photograph his sister’s wedding. Now having captured over 600 weddings and counting, the feelings of gratefulness and joy I experience when photographing a couple’s big day have never left me. This is how I know I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.

Based on the South Coast of NSW, with my wife Jess, son Oliver and daughter Grace (plus I can’t forget our crazy labradoodle Maggie), life is busy but full. Having my son changed the way that I look at my photography work. It has opened my eyes even more to those genuine, fleeting and  timeless moments that life - and love bring.

Documenting the moments that matter through a candid, artful lens is what you can expect from me photographing your wedding day. If this sounds like your vibe, then I can’t wait to meet you.

Kind Words

Where do I even start! From the beginning when we booked Matt the process has been seamless and exciting. We kept in contact throughout our engagement with potential shoot locations ect. I believe it's important to book a photographer that you vibe their personality & work, and Matt was just that.

My husband and I were AMAZED by our wedding photos. I had a vision of what I wanted and Matt absolutely killed it. We are in awe of our wedding photos.

Thanks so much Matt!!
