Portland Studios Photography

Portland Studios is a specialist wedding photography studio based in Ashford, Kent. With an award-winning approach and years of experience led by director David Hebditch, we focus on crafting wedding photos that feel both timeless and true to your day. We are known for combining confident, professional portraiture with a relaxed, candid style so each image reflects the emotion and story behind it. We like to get to know the people we photograph and the weddings we capture. That relationship is central to our process: from an initial conversation through to the finished images we work closely with couples to understand their vision, personalities and priorities. On the wedding day we move with a calm, unobtrusive presence — creating confident bridal portraits when you want them and stepping back to record the natural, spontaneous moments that make a day unique. Our wedding photography in Ashford and across Kent is built around authenticity and craft. We pay attention to light, composition and timing while making sure you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. Whether it’s delicate detail shots in preparation, intimate portraits, documentary-style storytelling during the ceremony and reception, or those joyful moments on the dance floor, our goal is to deliver professional wedding photos that take you straight back to how the day felt. Because Portland Studios also specialises in family and maternity photography, we bring a warm, family-centred sensibility to wedding coverage — ideal for couples who want photos that include children and relatives in a natural way. Our local knowledge of Kent locations, combined with a modern studio environment in Park Mall, Ashford, means we can recommend settings that suit your style, from classic portraits to relaxed outdoor scenes. If you’re looking for a dedicated wedding day photographer in Ashford who balances composed portraiture with honest, emotive storytelling, Portland Studios offers a personalised, experienced approach.
