ASHTON
JEAN-PIERRE
Named one of the top wedding photographers in the world by Harper’s Bazaar
Welcome, friends
We’re so excited for the chance to work with you and we can’t wait to get to know you and hear more about your wedding. I know photography is one of the larger investments you're making for your wedding day and I would be so honoured to capture your days and all of the memories ahead.
Even if you're working with a wedding planner or you're planning a simple wedding on your own, there are likely still a lot of moving pieces left leading up to your big day.
Having photographed nearly 250 weddings over the past 11 years, I tend to get asked the same things over and over again. So I thought it would be beneficial if I put together a little guide that walks you through everything from timelines to sessions.
“Knowing you from afar on social, I had this feeling that you were such a deep soul. But meeting you has taken my admiration for you to new levels. There are some people in this world that have a unique ability to touch others - you are one of them.
~ Joy Proctor, Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar top Wedding Designer
INTROVERT BUT THANKFULLY FUNNY.
I have been photographing weddings since 2011. Born and raised in West Yorkshire, England until I found and married the love of my life in the Caribbean before starting a new chapter together in Melbourne, Australia. Becoming a father is the best thing in my life, it transforms me. Our daughter teaches us to see the beauty in the small things.
I love reading my large collection of psychology books. I plan to study to become a therapist, I love illustration, especially making picture books and teaching sign languages. Personally, I love to observe, I’m introvert but affectionate, and, funny… well, my friends say that to me. Hope you understand my British humour.
KIND WORDS
NO, I didn’t pay them.
Sejla & Simon’s wedding at Aunty Kim’s
“Ashton is an incredible photographer. His ability to imagine a day, and capture the most wonderful emotions and moments associated with it - are at the highest level.
Ashton's level of detail during the planning process; discussing the outfits and accessories, flowers, the venue, the guests attending, timings, lighting, the vision we had, and the key considerations - made us feel at ease - trusting in him to capture our wedding day.
This level of detail, from the start of the process really came through in the images he captured of us and our bridal party, our family and guests and celebrations. We could not be happier with the memories we have. He is a master of his craft! WOW!”
AUNTY KIM’S is like an aunt to me
“First and foremost the customer service was outstanding! The splendor of this exquisite venue can only be appreciated in person. The breathtaking views, exceptional staff, and romantic seating arrangements make it a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.
The food was mouth-watering.”
- Ashton
short attention span in case…
Feeling nervous?
We don’t bite.
Feeling nervous in front of a wedding photographer is common! Not just you two, your family and friends too. I totally understand how you feel. I am more like a therapist so you can focus on enjoying the day rather than posing perfectly. Take time before the wedding day to practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation to stay calm. It works!
My work is known for uplifted client experience, my authentic and elegant style with fashion flair & my sense of emotional depth.
The emotional depth in photography is important. It goes beyond just images; it’s about capturing feelings. I strive to reflect the love and joy you share. Each photograph tells a story, your story. They will remind you of the happiness felt in those moments.
Respectful & Empathetic BFF Friendship
In the eleven years I’ve worked as a British & Australian wedding photographer, not just your wedding photographer, I am also a parent, educator, cycle-breaker. I genuinely enjoy finding ways to connect with you, your friends, and your family. By maintaining a respectful and empathetic friendship, everyone will feel comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Absolutely yes. Because I carefully curated best images for Instagram or blogs, so I always suggest to take some time and look at a few of my full online galleries. It is extremely important to clients to know that they can expect consistent quality and really good coverage of their wedding from start to finish, including getting ready, couple session, family formal groups, details, natural shots especially dancing shots in the evening/very low light.
