Ed specialises in documentary wedding photography in Gateshead, capturing real moments and genuine emotion. Engagement shoots, video highlights and bespoke albums are available.
Hi — I’m Ed from Edward Ashley Photography, based in Gateshead and photographing weddings across the North of England and the UK. I specialise in documentary-based wedding photography: I’m there to record your day honestly and creatively, capturing the real moments and genuine emotion that make each wedding unique. My aim is always the same — your wedding day should feel like a day lived, not a photoshoot. That’s why I work with a relaxed, unobtrusive approach: no awkward posing, just subtle direction when it’s needed to help the images look their best. How I work with couples is simple and personal. We start with a no-pressure consultation so you can feel confident I’m the right fit. I’ll listen to your plans, get a feel for the timings and the people who matter most, and share ideas for capturing your story. Many couples choose an engagement/pre-wedding shoot — it’s a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and often leads to the most natural wedding-day images. On the day I photograph quietly and confidently, blending documentary moments with tasteful creative portraiture when the moment calls for it. I focus on atmosphere and emotion: preparation nerves, shared laughs, the walk down the aisle, speeches, and the first dance — those unrepeatable moments that become your family’s visual memory. After the wedding, I carefully edit and enhance your images, delivering them via a password-protected online gallery so you can view, download and share with loved ones. While wedding photography is my core specialism, I also offer complementary options to complete your story. Video highlights and HD slideshows are available for couples who want moving-image memories in addition to stills. Bespoke albums and high-quality prints are produced to order by a UK photographic lab — perfect for sharing with family or displaying in your home. If you’re planning a wedding in Gateshead, Newcastle or beyond and want professional, heartfelt wedding photography without rigid posing or forced moments, let’s have a chat. I’m passionate about preserving the emotion of your day so you can remember it forever.
