Ray Ashmore Photography

Best photographer ever and everyone at the wedding agreed. I found Ray online and thought the packages to be very reasonable and all the reviews positive. I contacted him and arrange to meet him. Myself amd my partner liked him straight away he was a great guy with no pressure. I loved the fact he does his own prints and canvas and most of all that we would have a beautiful album not just a USB.

We like many had our wedding delayed due to covid and Ray contacted me the very day everything changed the only supplier to do this we spoke through dates and reserved a couple I liked while changing everything else. Amazing. On the lead up to the wedding we had contact about our needs, wants and a questionnaire for Ray to get an idea of us as a couple and what was important to us.

The day Ray was at the Chrich ready to take photos of my Husband, guests and my arrival we had the usual staged photos which Ray had asked me for but most of all with Ray are the photos that he gets and sees that others may not getting the beautiful church structure in photos stunning, the relaxed photos that showed how happy people were for us and having a great time. Ray even went on the roof to get the amazing aerial photo of us and our guests, we had photos of the room a few black and white which were beautiful and a change to others.

In the package too as getting married later we had photos of our guests on the evening having a great time too, all these little things that felt he captured the whole day. After the wedding Ray soon sent us our photos to pick for our album we had extra pages as couldn't cut down any further. The quality and size of the album was better then I imagined also the canvas and triple print was beautiful.

I also lived the fact on the USB we had all photos taken and Ray had done a slide show on this of our and his favourites for us so thoughtful. Ray you did us proud and so glad we chose you and will recommend you to anyone. All the best in the future I'm sure I will be getting prints and canvas' in the next few years.

Ray was our photographer for our wedding at St Nicholas Church and our reception at Pendrell Hall. Ray was a brilliant find - he had prior knowledge of the venues so knew where to take the best photo's. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera and weren't keen on having lots of 'staged photos - Ray spent plenty of time with us and really settled our nerves, and we've got a great selection of natural photos, as well as the expected group shots.

Our guests thought Ray was great - he spent time talking to them and making them laugh, and was even playing football with the kids at one point.while of course getting us lots of photos of everyone having fun. We ordered a canvas, photo book and a memory stick of our photos - all arrived quickly and are top quality. On top of all this, everything was reasonably priced too. We're really happy with Ray and our photo's - he was a great addition to our day and we'd highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks Ray! :

Ray was really great in that I contacted him 2 days before I needed the portrait service and he fitted me in. Having completed the service he provided me with my digital copies of my photos within 2 hours of completion and reduced the cost of my appointment because I changed what I wanted and didn't want any hard copies. I was very grateful for his help and I am sure anyone using his services will be well satisfied.

We originally booked Ray for our Wedding in 2019. 2 date changes later and we finally got our special day and wow. Ray was amazing. not only a photographer but fantastic at organising myself and the wedding party, was brilliant at providing moral support for us all during the nervous parts and captured all the magical parts of our day. We asked for two photographers and Jo came along to assist. she was just fantastic too and I know she got all the groomsmen laughing away during their morning prep.

From start to finish nothing seemed too much trouble for Ray, being so accommodating with the date changes and receiving our images so soon after the day. We have recently received our albums and they've brought tears to everyones eyes. Just magical. Thank you Ray from the bottom of our hearts

Ray was friendly and made us feel really relaxed at our wedding even though I don't enjoy being photographed! He was really helpful, good at communicating and did some quirky special edits for us. Really fair price and professional service and super photos! We can barely tell from our wedding album that our wedding had quite a few awkward/socially distanced moments (due to taking place in between lockdowns) as Ray took so many lovely natural photos. Would definitely use Ray again to photograph future parties/events.

Ray was absolutely outstanding in the work he did for us at our wedding in October. His photos were fantastic, and his contact with us from our initial booking to his delivery of our photo albums has been brilliant. His professionalism combined with his friendly and approachable manner were second to none, both during the entire process and on our wedding day itself, and we couldn't recommend him more.

Well what can i say. Myself and my husband booked Ray last year (2018) to photograph our special wedding day. From the moment we first met him we just clicked and we knew that we would not only have a professional but someone who was extremely organised and most importantly someone we were going to get on with and have some fun with on our day.and what fun we had. Ray understood exactly what we wanted to get out of our day, as we both loved very natural 'in the moment' photos so that we could spend as much time with our guests as possible. Ray was always efficient at replying to our messages on the lead up to our wedding and even worked around us to arrange a meeting at our chosen reception venue to finalize things.

Our day was just perfect and Ray was great at getting everyone where they needed to be and got on with all our guests (who have all said how wonderful he was) especially our bridesmaids and best men he had us laughing all day long. Ray has a special eye for fun and unusual images which has made our photos unique and personal to us. The photos have turned out so beautifully and so we can relive the day all over again whenever we look at them.

We had so many to choose from but Ray's gallery made this easy as we choose which photos we wanted in our album and how exactly we wanted them placed. His gallery is professional and easy to use and you can even send it to loved ones for them to purchase photos of their own. We ordered a large canvas from Ray who makes these at his studio and collected this a few weeks ago when we went to talk about what style and colour we wanted for our album, the canvas is absolutely stunning and is proudly hanging in our living room.

We have now received our album which was well worth waiting for (perfection can not be rushed). If your looking for exquisite posed and candid photographs Ray's your man! We can't recommend his services enough. Thank you Ray for capturing our day that we will remember for the rest of our lives. :)

Ray had done a fantastic job of our wedding photography! He is really friendly and provided a great speedy service, which is great value for money! I would highly recommend Ray for wedding photography, everything has been straight forward and stress free from day one!

Me and my husband got married in May and we had the pleasure of working with Ray, who we met at a Wedding Fayre at the venue we were getting married in, and we absolutely fell in love with his work. His photos just looked so beautiful and natural. It was a lot of fun working with him, he is very friendly and made us feel very comfortable. Our photos are just stunning!

He really captured the day beautifully, there is no doubt that we picked an amazing photographer, and I would highly recommend if you are looking for some one to capture the moments as they are, and just want beautiful, romantic looking photos, then Ray is your guy!

We hired Ray to capture our special day during mid May. He took beautiful photos and he was very professional. Ray also captured gorgeous natural photos of us all which will give us laughs every time we look at our lovely photo album.

We recently had our wedding and used Ray from studio 34 as our photographer. He was so down to earth and made us feel at ease whilst remaining professional. The photos are absolutely amazing and we couldn't of asked for anything more. He captured the day perfectly from beginning to end and everybody commented on just how lovely he was! No amount of words could truly describe how incredible Studio 34 are! Highly recommend!

I was after someone who could print some pictures on to canvas for me. I couldn't decide which one I wanted so Ray suggested that I have all six on one canvas. What a fantastic idea. I wanted a large canvas anyone and this way I didn't have to choose between the six I had. The service was quick clean and easy, most of all it didn't cost me a fortune either.

At the time Ray had his canvases on offer. Later when I was after a photo shoot for my youngest son and his family as a Christmas present I had no hesitation in asking Ray if this was something he could do. I immediately booked a voucher for them to use when they had some free time. Earlier this year they did a shoot in West Park Wolverhampton and the photos were amazing.

This time I do have to make a decision on which one to have on canvas. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ray to anyone who wanted a photographer for a special occasion or have a photograph printed onto canvas. Excellent service.

Ray and Yvette photography my wedding in August 2015 and we are really thrilled with the work they did. It was a drizzly day unfortunately, but they captured it so well and took some gorgeous photos. They put together a slideshow of the photos on a USB for us and put together a lovely black leather bound album. It was such great value for money and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others.

Lovely and professional couple, captured some truly beautiful photo's of my newborn daughter. Very thoughtful and understanding when working with young children. Would definitely recommend.

Ray photographed our wedding last month and can honestly say I couldn't of asked for a better person for the job. Our photographs are absolutely stunning. Ray was professional throughout the whole thing and did an amazing job would recommend him to anyone. Thank you again

We highly recommend Ray - he was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding, from start to finish and our photos are absolutely stunning. Ray met us before the wedding to go over everything and talk about what specific photos we wanted and timings etc. On the day itself, he got on so well with all of the bridal party, the guests and staff at our venue, Blakelands Country House, and even helped out with making sure everything happened on time.

We chose to book the package with 2 photographers which worked really well so we have pictures of both of us getting ready and different angles of lots of different parts of the day. And the finished result - wow! We honestly couldn’t be more thrilled with our photos and can’t stop looking at them! Great mix of funny and romantic shots and we love them all.

The albums and canvas are fantastic quality and really tell the story of the day so we will always remember it all. Thank you so much Ray, we hope to see you again in the future!

We have been a customer with Ray and Yvette on several occasions. Firstly when they hosted a photographic and makeover party to beat ALL parties!!!They fed and watered, entertained, did full (tasteful and appropriate) makeup on nine 12yr olds AND a full photo shoot with clothes and prop changes! That party is still being talked about 3 years later!!

They went down as hero's in my book and since then would never go anywhere else. I have recommended them to all my friends and have had family photo sessions, pet pictures, thank you cards, christmas cards, calendars, canvas's all from them. The service is excellent, and items are not overpriced. Ray really does have an excellent artistic eye and his kindness and patience are always rewarded by the perfect pictures he produces.

I was undecided about hiring a professional photographer for our wedding renewal day - persuaded by family I searched the net and found Ray. It may be a cliché but he really did make our day "special "- he visited us , quickly putting us at ease and worked out a package that suited our needs. His skill not only lies in the quality of the photographs he took but also in making you feel so at ease - he became "part of the family" - This is reflected in the natural essence his photographs show - even when " posing" for them they were not stiff and formal but showed feelings and reflected just how special the day was to us.

We have a truly wonderful reminder of our day set out in his remarkable photographs. If you want that bit more than a run of the mill photographer would supply then I do not hesitate to recommend Ray.

We were given a family shoot with Ray when my daughter was born. I've just been to pick the photos, they were all fabulous. Thank you so much Ray!

Ray and yvette did my engagement shoot my wedding and also my first anniversary and i have never been disappointed with any photos we have had great service at a great price.
