About

Overview & Vibe

Matt Ashton photographs weddings from Berry on the New South Wales South Coast. He was a builder before this, has been full time for six years, and has photographed more than 500 weddings. He shoots digital and 35mm film, and takes a small number of weddings each year.

Style & Approach

He calls it documentary work with candid coverage and a calm presence. In his words: he stays close enough to catch everything and unobtrusive enough that you forget he is there, so the pictures feel less like a record of the day and more like a memory of it.

Ideal For

Couples who want great photographs without their day turning into a photoshoot, whether that is a full wedding on the South Coast, in the Southern Highlands or in Sydney, or just the two of you eloping somewhere quiet midweek.

The Need-to-Knows

  • Weddings shot on digital and 35mm film, with elopements run Monday to Thursday so the locations stay quiet.
  • A non-refundable deposit and a signed contract secure your date.
  • Expect at least 100 photographs for every hour he shoots.
  • A sneak peek of about a dozen images arrives 2 to 48 hours later; the full gallery within six to eight weeks.
  • Popular dates book 12 to 18 months ahead.

Standout Feature

Albums are a real product line rather than an afterthought; three sizes from a 15-spread 10x10 inch book up to a 40-spread 12x12 inch heirloom with matching 5x5 inch parent albums.
