Stop searching! Book Ash!

It really is going to be difficult to articulate just how much of an impact Ash left on me and my wife, on our wedding day.

The whole experience was incredible, with Ash approaching our day not as a "job" but as an experience he wanted to be part of - he was as excited as us, to capture those moments and document the smiles, tears, laughter and drunk dancing (!).

The pre-wedding conversations were open and collaborative, and on the day Ash came and just elevated the day with his presence - his eye for a shot, his humanity and most of all his positivity and passion for what he clearly loves doing - taking your picture!

No question about it, we would do it all again exactly the same - do not hesitate, book Ash you will not regret it!

Thank you Ash, you literally made our day.

Couldn’t ask for a better photographer

Ash has been absolutely fantastic, from our first meeting to our wedding day we couldn’t have been happier. Ash is super friendly, and listens to everything you want. We originally got married in December, but also had a party in July, and for both he was amazing. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and can’t wait to see him again for photos with our little girl.

Incredible!

If you are looking for an incredibly talented photographer, someone who can help you calm your nerves, catch your natural best bits all whilst seeming to be invisible, Ash is your guy!

Ash, we can't thank you enough for what you did for us both, having a Husband who hates having his picture taken, you truly made us both feel at ease and let us be our silly slightly erratic selves which resulted in the most naturally beautiful images and a perfect reminder for us to always look back on, to one of the best days of our lives.

Simply put, anyone looking for good, honest, anything goes, natural with a hint of crazy wedding photos, that are nothing shy of perfection - look no further!

Extremely happy and thankful to choose Ash!

We cannot recommend Ash to you all enough. He literally made our day perfect. It was super easy to communicate and he was very meticulous on every single detail. I normally feel very anxious during photo-shooting but with Ash everything went smoothly. We are extremely thankful and happy. If we would have a wedding again, we would choose to work with Ash again!

Cannot reccomend enough!

We had our wedding in August and were fortunate to have Ash as our photographer. Since our wedding was small and intimate, we were initially worried about having someone we didn’t know there and feared we’d be taken away for hours of posed photos. However, Ash was nothing like that! From our first conversation, he was warm, friendly, and immediately put us at ease—even offering helpful suggestions for the day’s schedule when I reached out to him in a panic on a random Sunday.

On the wedding day, Ash blended in seamlessly and somehow seemed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. He knew the best spots in York for stunning photos, had an eye for capturing the perfect shot, was open to trying different ideas, and knew exactly when we needed a break. He even helped arrange a quiet, much-needed moment for my husband and me to be alone.

Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how lovely Ash was, and the photos are simply breathtaking! He perfectly captured the essence of our day, balancing moody, artistic shots with fun, energetic poses and sweet candid moments. The amount of positive feedback we’ve received on our wedding photos has been overwhelming!

I can’t recommend Ash enough. If I could hire him for every event, I absolutely would!

Perfectly captured our big day

Ash was the best photographer we could ever have asked for. He captured the day perfectly and when we looked back through the photos it felt like reliving the day again. From the initial phone call, he listened to what we wanted and made some really helpful creative suggestions. Lots of our friends commented on how warm and personable he was, and his professionalism and friendly nature just shone through throughout the whole process.

Look no further than Ash- Truly amazing and talented!

All the reviews do not give justice as to how amazing Ash is!. He was recommended to us by a friend and we did not hesitate to ask him. Ours was a very small event and Ash was perfect for this. From start to finish to the communication was amazing. He was enthusiastic, creative but in no way overwhelming. He is very calm and relaxed and exceptionally talented. We are a very quirky couple and he went with every idea and enhanced it further. He puts you massively at ease on the day and got on so well with us and the guests. If your York based like us, go for Ash!. He loves the city and knows it better than any local. He has the best shots and has amazing creativity. He is exceptionally patient even when we needed a quick break (Don't wear high heels on the cobbles in York). He is a really nice guy and we simply enjoyed getting to know him and him being there. He was just like one of the guests in the end and it was a pleasure to have him there. Would 100% recommend him for your wedding and check out his non wedding shots, its amazing. Thank you so much Ash!

Incredible!

Ash did the photography for our wedding back in October and he truly did the most incredible job!
From documenting our legal ceremony on the Wednesday to the wild party on the Thursday - he took the most sensational photos, that are so special to us.

Ash also ensured all of our family and friends felt comfortable and confident with their photos, and also was amazing with our little boy.

We could not recommend him enough as a wedding photographer and if you’re considering booking definitely do!!

You have to book Ash for your wedding

what can i say about Ash, from the start he has been amazing. when we first has the consultation meeting, he was so friendly and professional, explained the whole process to us and what to expect- so we booked immediately. I told him in not a photogenic person and i HATE my picture being taken, but he told me not to worry and we would work through it

Throughout the run up to my wedding, he was always there to give ideas and support. Fast forward to the wedding day- Ash arrived in the morning as planned (i didnt think i wanted getting ready shots, but theyve turned out to be some of my favorite shots) he blended into the background, so i didnt feel bombarded when i was having my morning with my girls- he was just there ready to get some gorgeous shots without me even noticing.

when it came time to do the family photos and couple shots, i was shocked at how at ease he put us, i didnt feel embarrassed having my picture taken and he was directing us on which shots to get and they turned out utterly stunning

he honestly felt like part of my wedding party and all of my guests commented on how friendly and lovely he was. My wedding photos have turned out incredible.

If you do one thing for your wedding- its booking Ash to do your photography

Amazing memories created

What can I say? Ash was amazing and created memories we will never forget, he became part of our day and almost every guest commented about what a nice relaxed man he was. Our photos are amazing and returned back to us very quickly. Best choice I made for my wedding (besides the groom of course)

A gifted, creative and brilliant photographer

Ash was an absolute delight to work with from start to finish. He was ultra professional, super creative with lots of ideas and really thought outside the box. He really made you feel important and made sure that he captured all your special moments. He really got us as a couple and put in some special personal touches for us. He made sure he knew the venues beforehand and was incredibly thoughtful and a pleasure to have there on the day - just unobtrusively being brilliant as well as being able to put together some super group shots. l couldn't recommend him enough.

One word.. Amazing

We honestly could not recommend Ash enough. From day one , Ash was professional, polite, friendly and understanding of what we wanted on our day. Every single person commented on what a genuine person Ash was, I honestly felt like I had known him years , he actually felt part of the family ! And what can I say about the photos he caught .. WOW! I told ash that no one would ever take a photo of me that I would like , he took that as a challenge and succeeded massively! I love them all. You really won't be disappointed if you book Ash Groom for your big day ❤️

Beautifully captured our small ceremony

Initially we didn't think we were going to get a photographer since we had such an intimate ceremony but going with Ash was the best decision we could have made. From pictures of the cerermony, to group pictures and our individual pictures captured around York, we couldn't be happier. He helped guide us through posing since we had no idea what we were doing but also captured the essence of the day with beautiful candid shots.

Woodland wedding

Ash was amazing from the moment I contacted him. Very professional and caring and we found we had many things in common with him. We met for a pre wedding walk around the venue to scope where some shots could be taken. He was amazing on the night and my family loved having him around. Would highly recommend!!

What a find! Amazing & lovely photographer

We booked Ash Groom as our wedding photographer and we are so glad we did and would wholeheartedly recommend him. The photos have come out excellently - I'm so impressed with Ash's ability to capture all of the day's details, guests and funny/happy moments naturally. We shared the online gallery with our guests to great excitement and we've had lots of compliments on the photos for being of such a high standard and a lot of fun to look through. Your wedding day goes by super quickly so photos are so important to help you look back and remember the details and keep the memories, so I'm really grateful for them. Ash is a dream to work with - he's responsive, calm, friendly, patient, thorough and extremely hard working. We opted for a non traditional wedding and he was so enthusiastic about our ideas. You can tell he really cares about what he does and enjoys it. Thank you Ash!
