Hi, I’m Ash!

An awkward soul with a love for romance and intimacy.

None of us are perfect, but if we’re lucky we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with our own. My work is to capture that weirdness and celebrate it in all its magic, flaws and all. I'm hoping you'll be up for letting me be a part of your amazing story.

Look, I could put the camera on a tripod, chuck a big zoom lens on and keep my distance, capturing your day from afar. There's nothing wrong with working this way, I did it for years. But let's be honest, what is the point of having me there without the intimacy, up-close emotion, affection and everything else that comes with such an important ritual. I want to get to know you, what makes your relationship unique, I want to know how you make each other laugh, how you inspire each other, how you comfort one another. I don't want it to feel like some stranger with a camera turning up on your day, I want you to feel completely comfortable with me, so let's get to know each other.

I'm looking for couples who want to celebrate the intimacy and vulnerability of their relationship. If you're looking for a videographer to really be involved in your day and your story, then I think we are a good fit.

I can't wait to hear all about your ideas and plans for the day.

OMG is he still talking?

Why "Awkward Soul?". Well I think it's how I'd describe myself pretty well. I think we are all awkward creatures desperately trying to fit in, to find our place, and share it with those we love most. We can spend our lives putting on a presentation of how we want to be perceived, desperately seeking approval from our peers. we use filters to hide our flaws, we strive for acceptance. Awkward Soul is about accepting and loving ourselves the way we are. It's about being the antithesis of what social media makes us feel we have to be. I want to capture your story in it's most sincere form. Every wrinkle and imperfection is you. I'm not into anything fake or contrived. I can't offer you photoshopped imagery or anything staged, what I can offer is sincerity.

Let's chase this idea together.

Chase sincere. Chase intimacy.

    "The footage Ashton captured throughout our wedding day can only be described as cinematic. one of our major concerns when looking for a videographer for our wedding was feeling awkward and uncomfortable on camera. Not so with Ashton. The footage he shot is infused with vivid colours and emanates warmth while still retaining an authentic look that is a perfect combination of style and realism. We were both extremely anxious about how we would appear in video footage, however Ashton has a keen eye for details and somehow managed to capture us both from our best angles even during the most intimate moments of our ceremony. Ashton is also a fantastic guy. He’s able to remain calm and laid back and set you at ease on one of the most frantic and emotional days of your life. We couldn’t recommend Ashton more."
