Derbyshire Wedding Photographer
‘Capturing fleeting moments, creating timeless memories’
Ashley James Wedding Photographer
If you are looking for a national and international wedding photographer, then you are in the right place! My documentary & photo-journalistic approach allows me to capture natural moments with an editorial style. The photos I capture tell a unique story that elegantly captures the sense of love and fun of your day. I document real emotions and authentic moments. The result is photographs that are both timeless and meaningful. Despite being a Derby Wedding Photographer, I travel all over the UK and have travelled abroad capturing relaxed events and unique stories. Please look at my portfolio and if you like my style, please get in touch.

Couples Photography
My style of photography involves creating crisp, clean and vibrant imagery, preserving the colour and detail of the scenes using a combination of lighting techniques and post production styles.
