About

Overview & Vibe

Ashly Margret is a Launceston wedding photographer who describes her work as heartfelt imagery and storytelling, and her pictures as candid in nature and old-worldly in feel. She came to photography sideways — she made clothes as a teenager and enrolled in a course to shoot her own label better, then found the camera was the point. Seven years on she works across Tasmania from a home on the river.

Style & Approach

Candid is her own word for it, and the approach behind it is playful, down-to-earth and up-for-anything. She aims at couples who do not take themselves too seriously but still want the feeling and intimacy of the day held onto, without the awkward parts. She gives gentle direction where it helps and otherwise stays out of the way, and she is explicit that a session should feel liberating rather than posed.

Ideal For

Couples marrying within about an hour of Launceston, for whom travel is simply included, and elopers who want a short, unfussy day — her smallest wedding collection is two hours. She also runs an all-inclusive elopement collaboration with a Tasmanian celebrant for groups of up to eight, bundling ceremony, photography, a bottle of Tasmanian gin and locally sourced flowers.

The Need-to-Knows

Wedding coverage is priced by the hour in four steps: two hours at $2,000 with 200 or more photographs, four at $3,300, six at $4,200 and eight at $5,200 with 500 or more. Every collection includes planning assistance, vendor recommendations, high-resolution images through a private online gallery and a print shop. Travel is included within an hour of Launceston and $300 beyond it; extra coverage is $700 an hour and an engagement session is $700, or 20 per cent less booked with a wedding.

Standout Feature

The album and print list is unusually concrete for a photographer at this price: hand-crafted fine art albums at $680 for twenty pages and $1,000 for thirty, prints on cotton paper with a white border, and deckled prints with hand-torn edges sold in named sets. Most sites make you ask; this one gives the sizes, the paper and the price.
