Who I am | Cornwall Wedding Photographer

What I'm All About

"Some photographers take reality… and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation" - Ansel Adams

Hello! I'm Ash, a creative and adventurous girl originally from Canada. Love brought me to England. I currently reside on the North Coast of Cornwall.

Growing up, I was creative from the very beginning. Arts and crafts, theatre, you name it, I was into it. My parents also could never seem to get me in from outside, my love for nature took over. I was always outside. Because of this, I grew up wanting to travel the world, which led to my love of landscapes, which I now enjoy enjoy incorporating into my wedding photography. I have always been a romantic, finding myself drawn to poetry, novels and films. I love how I can be transported to places beyond my imagination with books, photos and films. I think great stories need to be told, and not just through words but images as well.

I was introduced into photography by a dear friend of mine. What started out as self expression through self portraiture soon turned into a love for photographing people and places. I craved telling emotive stories through my camera, and not just those of my own.

When I'm not photographing weddings and couples, I continue to shoot personal work, travel, watch films and work on other creative interests. I am passionate about what i do, but more so about the people who let me into their lives. I am lucky to be in love with someone I can call my best friend, we live in a small home by the coast and enjoy endless adventurous together.

My Approach

My approach is laid-back, unobtrusive and natural. I want your images to be timeless, and my editing style is reflective of that. My goal will always be to capture your love in an authentic way, to capture the organic and the raw, genuine emotions of your wedding day. I appreciate all of the in-between moments that may otherwise go unnoticed- the moments that are not forced, or posed. I can be a fly on the wall at times, and I can also be in the middle of the dance floor.

I absolutely love photographing weddings and all the amazing moments happening as it unfolds. I’m also not one for asking everyone to smile at the camera, its about capturing those moments as they are happening. I won’t make you feel like anything is forced, or posed. I want you to relax and be yourselves. My style is focused on real moments. I will help direct you on the day, but I rather you both be present with one another, enjoying the flipping amazing moments of being newly weds, and just be. We are in this together, I won’t leave you stranded.

This is me and some things I love

James

We met in Scotland and have been best friends ever since. He's weird, and I'm weird and we get along just fine. He's an incredible creative himself, a pretty good surfer and brings me back vintage wine from his fishing trips to France. Score.

Horses

I have always had a deep love for horses. I competitively rode when I was younger, as well as just for fun. I always try to get out for a ride when I'm travelling. It's one of the best ways to tour around. They are such beautiful and intelligent creatures. And they find themselves in front of my lens more often than not.

All things plants. I think plants are really good for the soul. You are taking care of something, but you are also taking care of yourself in the process. I won't mind my home turning into a jungle.

Plantlife

The Cornish Coastline

Living near the coast is life changing. It's a different way of life. The salty air and sea fog is good for the heart and mind. Slow living, coastal walks, surf breaks, adventuring around. There is always so much still to discover here.

Antiquarian Books

I have always loved books and the ability to be transported into another world while reading them. Books are certainly an inward journey, and I enjoy finding the oldest ones I can, thinking of all all the people who may of been in possession of it until it found its way to me.
