Why a South Coast Wedding?

I'm not sure if even have to explain to you why you would want to get married on the South Coast. Let's be honest is there any other place you would like to get married?? Okay... Maybe like some mountain top in New Zealand... or some epic national park in America... (by the way… did you know we travel world wide?)

But the south coast is my FAVOURITE for wedding and elopement photography. The South Coast has EVERYTHING that you could wish for. National Parks, beautiful bush and of course the most epic beaches with that dreamy white sand. It also has some of the most beautiful vendors around. Its a place that I feel so lucky to call home.

I love being a south coast wedding and family photographer because there are so many damn cool places that we can explore! No matter if its a Wedding or Family Photography session, from the cliff and mountain tops to the beautiful beaches. The South Coast has it all!

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.

Kind Words

  • “Matt played an incredibly important role in making our wedding day unforgettable. We can't thank him enough for his exceptional talent, professionalism and dedication to getting those perfect shots but also to making us all laugh. Your ability to capture the essence of our love story through your lens is truly remarkable (and we have only seen the sneak peaks). If you are looking for someone to have a calming, humorous, professional but friendly presence on the day of your wedding, with great attention detail, Matt is your guy! Matt, thank you for your kindness, guidance and support throughout the entire process. You were instrumental in making our wedding day the best day ever.”

  • 'Initially when we were searching for a wedding photographer, we choose Matt as his portfolio seemed to suit the style we liked best…. however, we soon came to realise that not only is Matt a phenomenal photographer, he is a damn good bloke too. Lachlan and I had both our engagement and wedding shoot done with Matt; he is so relaxed and easygoing and his whole vibe just makes you feel really comfortable. On the big day, I was extremely anxious, so having Matt around was a godsend, helping myself and everyone else to relax and have fun. The very next day we had a huge album of sneak peeks of the wedding, just in time for family breakfast, where we all sat down and re-lived the best day ever! If we could do it over again, we would choose Matt every time. To me, our photos where one of the most important parts of the whole wedding, one of the only things you get to keep to look back on and Matt delivered the most beautiful album we will cherish forever.'

  • We had the absolute pleasure of having Matt capture our special day. From the moment we met him, we knew it was going to be an incredible experience. Matt's calm yet energetic presence made everything seamless and enjoyable from the get-go. His organisational skills were impressive, ensuring every moment was captured beautifully yet never rushed. The day after, we were thrilled to receive some sneak peeks and were blown away by the photos. Since then we have received the whole album and could not be happier. Matt is extremely talented and captured not just moments in time but true emotions as well. We highly recommend locking Matt in as your wedding photographer ASAP! His energy, skill, and dedication are unmatched. Matt is absolutely the person you want capturing your big day! Thank you Matt for making our day so special and leaving us with stunning memories to cherish forever.
