Description

First things first… Congratulations!

And now the big question: What’s it going to cost?

Packages & Investment

Let’s keep it simple: I’m here to give you more than just beautiful photos. I’m here to help you actually enjoy your wedding day — with less stress, more laughter, and real, heartfelt moments that you’ll want to relive again and again.

Sure, I’ll take care of the photos (and they’ll be stunning), but I’ll also be the one making sure your dress sits right, calming the nerves, guiding the group shots, and reminding you to sneak off for five quiet minutes together when it all gets a bit whirlwindy.

Special for Bark Couples:

For the best price, head to ajbrent.com and get in touch directly. Get £200 off any package when you quote 'BARK_AT_SNOWDROPS' when you enquire.

You’ll find all the package info and a quick contact form to get the ball rolling.



Why Me?

Because I don’t just show up with a camera — I show up with 12+ years of experience, a calm presence, and a knack for capturing those blink-and-you ’ll-miss-it moments that make your day yours.

I’m the photographer who knows when to melt into the background and let things unfold naturally, and when to gently step in to steer the ship (without turning into a drill sergeant). Whether it’s guiding group photos without the faff or cueing up the perfect confetti shot, I’ve got the timing, the eye, and the chill.

No awkward posing. No fake grins. Just real joy, genuine moments, and a gallery that tells your story.



My Style in a Snapshot:
• Storytelling photography with heart, humour, and a touch of magic
• Relaxed, candid coverage that blends seamlessly into your day
• Natural group shots and couple portraits with zero cringe
• A friendly guide when you need it (yes, I will fix your buttonhole)
• Big on emotion, light on the cheese
• From the tiniest detail to the biggest “I do” — nothing missed



So don’t stress the camera stuff — I’ve got it covered. I’ll be quietly in the background capturing the magic, and right there in the foreground when you need a hand (or a tissue).

Ashley was so calm and friendly. He captured our day beautifully and he was extremely professional. It was like having an old friend take your photo he made us feel so at ease.

Words can't describe how pleased I am I chose Ashley to be my wedding photographer, he did a wonderful job and was brilliant from start to finish. We opted for the platinum package and was not disappointed in anyway. An added bonus was that all our guests can download any photos from the day for free. Ashley knows how to capture the day perfectly and we was overjoyed when we got to see the end results. The pictures are very professionally done with a good mix of original and traditional ideas which was important for us. The lighting effects in some of the pics are just amazing. The whole day goes by so fast but Ashley did a brilliant job of capturing all the little moments we had forgotten about and he knows exactly what he's doing. He's very relaxed and an easy person to get on with so you can feel secure he's going to do his very best for you on such an important day. Even the little details from making sure the buttonholes are placed correctly (as the groom put his on wrong) to making all the kids laugh and capturing those lovely moments. The photo booth was a massive hit with some hilarious photos, I would definitely recommend having that. Anyone looking for a wedding photographer or for any event needs to go to this man as I can't recommend him enough. Thanks again Ashley. Next time we need a photographer we'll be coming to you!

Couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Looking back, he made both myself and my wife feel so relaxed and He literally ended up like one of my groomsmen on the day. He didn't over charge either. Absolutely brilliant guy. What a legend! I waited 1 year and 4 months after the wedding to write this review. The quality of the work and professionalism he offers really does stand the test of time!
