Hello and welcome, I am a full-time professional photographer, I specialise in unique and elegant wedding photography, lifestyle, engagement and commercial shoots, but also cover christenings, parties and pets photography.
I am a Lancashire based wedding and portrait photographer and I have a great passion for what I do. Since 2013, I have photographed hundreds of weddings all over the world and met some wonderful people along the way, some of which have become good friends. On average I cover around 50 weddings a year all across the UK and abroad, and will be more than happy to photograph your wedding day where ever that may be.
Professional portrait photography, on location or in a studio creating stunning photos for portfolio's, publications, or personal use. Expecting your first child or second, capturing those very early days can be priceless, capturing natural un posed moments of you and your baby. Enjoy the party and let me take the photos, professional photography of your event, celebrations and parties across the north west.
When we set out to plan the perfect wedding we wanted to make sure we had the best of everything. With asking Ashley to be our photographer we certainly had the best around. We knew we had made the correct choice from the moment we met Ashley for our pre-wedding shoot at Beacon Fell, where he just made us feel comfortable and relaxed.
My portrait photography shoots cover a range of sessions from just you, to you and your friend or partner, to a couple of little terrors running around with Mum and Dad. For family shoots I can photograph you and your family on the beach, or local park, as this offers a wide variety of scenery and there are many places for the children to run around and hide. The photo shoot can take place at your home or at a location of your choice, I do have the use of a professional studio in Manchester and Preston.

About 4 years ago we hired Ash for a family photo shoot and he was really good with us as we are a big family (about 13 of us). He worked really well with all of us, organising us for all for the different pictures we wanted and was so at ease with the kids. That day I turned to my partner and said 'this is our eedding photographer'. It actually turned out to be the best decision we made as he was amazing. Ash knew the venue well so he knew the best places to take photos and the best angles to use.

He knew the best timings for the photos stating 'would be dark at this hour so better to get these pictures here and thos pictures then'. What was even better was the fact that, as he had been to may weddings, he knew a lot of the procedures and he became our rock. He showed the groomsmen how to pin button holes on, showed the maid of honour how to fluff the wedding dress train and told us what would happen during the ceremony, telling the groom where to stand and when he would need to turn around.

Basically making eveything seem so easy and made us feel so relaxed. He is what made the day seem so less stressful and allowed us to enjoy it more. Thank you so so much Ash, you were fantastic and we could not have asked for anything more You made our day perfect and we cannot wait to see the rest of the images. Here are my 3 favourites from the few we have received so far

Not entirely sure where or how my daughter found Ashley for her wedding day photographer, but she was singing his praises even before her wedding day back in October, she was thrilled with having a pre-wedding day shoot. There from around 8.30-9 am in the morning, & staying until after 9 pm, he very much shares the special with all the friends & family!

Very relaxed, asking for everyone's input on photographs being taken/ what they would like, as well as all his own inspirations, his photographs are simply breath taking! A bit of a back log due to Covid ( not his fault, & certainly not surprising he's so busy/ booked up ) A preview of about 40 photos a couple of week's after the wedding, were stunning! & I'm eagerly awaiting seeing them all in the New Year. If I could rate more than 5 star's, I would! Highly recommend to anyone who wants the magic of their special day captured to enjoy for a lifetime.

We hired Ashley for our wedding in October and and are absolutely thrilled with our pictures. He was accommodating through several date changes due to covid, arrived on time and was super professional and organised throughout. He even managed to get some gorgeous shots even though it rained continously all day. We received our photos in a timely manner and the engagement photo shoot was an added bonus. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Ashley to future couples!

I could not of asked for better! Ash is the best person I could of picked to photograph my wedding, he is full of creative and wonderful ideas and always manages to make the most mundane scenes look spectacular and full of magic. I have worked with many photographers in my time and Ashley is head and shoulders above the rest and always manages to capture images that far exceed my very high expectations. I cannot wait for an opportunity to work with Ash again, we most certainly are hiring him for our christenings and anything else we might need in the future.

When we set out to plan the perfect wedding we wanted to make sure we had the best of everything. With asking Ashley to be our photographer we certainly had the best around. We knew we had made the correct choice from the moment we met Ashley for our pre-wedding shoot at Beacon Fell, where he just made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We was amazed by the quality of photos he could produce.

On the day of the wedding Ashley and his team arrived promptly and made everyone feel relaxed and made sure they got natural photos whilst capturing all the joy and love of the day. The biggest compliment i could pay was it felt Ashley was a guest and part of the wedding, we heard nothing but positive comments about his attitude and professionalism.

By the end of the day we seen him as more of a friend than our photographer. We have now received all of our photos and videos from our special day. We are amazed with how well he's captured all the moments with our friends and family. It's a day we will never forget and in Ashleys photos it will mean our memories can last forever. I wouldn't hesitate to book Ashley again for any future occasions i wan't capturing. If you want to make sure your perfect day is captured book the perfect photographer.

Ashley's expertise and experience not only documented our fantastic wedding day, but also helped make it run effortlessly smooth. Especially considering that Covid has disrupted pretty much every aspect of the Wedding industry, Ashley was always on hand to talk us through how he could help out and nothing was too much trouble for him. His out of the box thinking and personable approach has allowed him to get some really unique shots to remember our special day. I can highly recommend Ashley and can't thank him enough for his hard work. Thanks again!

We got married in July 2018 and spent ages looking for a photographer who didn’t charge ridiculous prices but would capture the day well. We saw Ashley as he had photographed another wedding at our venue and we liked the pictures. Right from the moment, we booked he put us at ease and we knew we made the right decision. We had the pre wedding shoot which we enjoyed as it gave us chance to talk through the wedding day as well as Ashley giving us some tips for on the day.

On the actual wedding day Ashley and the second photographer arrived at 10am and started capturing moments straight away (we heard the camera before we even realised they were there). They both worked so hard and didn’t stop all day- they left at about 10pm(ish). When we received the online photos a couple of months later we were so pleased with all of them (we had over 900) and then had to choose 40 for our album which was hard.

We received the album, memory stick and a canvas and all of them are amazing. Everyone has commented on how great the photos look and how both photographers worked so hard all day and put everyone at ease about having their photos done. I would definitely recommend Ashley to anyone.

We're really happy with the photos, a brilliant reminder of such a fantastic day! Thankyou, you went above and beyond to capture all the pictures we wanted and everyone commented how friendly and professional you were and everyone was made to feel really comfortable - some of the best shots are when people had no idea they we're being taken. We're really happy with the shots on the sand dunes too, not only do they look fantastic but it was nice to just get away and have some time to ourselves!!

I cannot find the words to explain how amazing Ash was. His professionalism and friendly personality makes it so easy to just "get on with it" rather than feeling under pressure to perform for photos. Ash offers fantastic packages for incredible prices and produces top quality photos!! Will definitely be using Ash for any other events I need photos for! Can not thank him enough for helping make our day feel so easy and comfortable with brilliant photos to remember it all!

My husband and I, had Ashley photograph our wedding in August this year and it was most certainly a fantastic choice we made. Everything was perfect from start to finish you didn’t even know he wasn’t there 90% of the time and all photos are fantastic and captured our special day just as requested and better than we could have ever imagined, We got so many beautiful photos and we can’t thank or recommend Ashley enough.
