With a warm, personal approach and a decade of wedding experience, Ashleigh Black focuses on capturing the real moments—those spontaneous smiles, quiet glances and the small, emotional details you’ll want to relive for years. Why choose Ash Black Photography? Ash works unobtrusively throughout your day so you can enjoy the celebration without feeling like you’re ‘performing’ for the camera. The result is a collection of natural, stylish images that tell the full story of your wedding day—from getting-ready moments to the first dance and everything in between. Ash values thoughtful lighting and composition, producing photographs that are both striking and timeless. The working approach is practical and reassuring. Ash offers an initial consultation—either face-to-face or via Skype/Zoom—to get to know you, discuss your plans and compare image references if you have a particular look in mind. On the day she blends into the background, stepping forward when needed for portrait or family group shots, and remaining discreet during ceremonies and celebrations so the moments feel authentic and relaxed. Based on Hayling Island and covering Hayling, Chichester and the wider West Sussex coast (including Portsmouth, Southampton and Brighton), Ash Black Photography is comfortable shooting in beautiful on-location settings or creating a more controlled look with a mobile studio setup. Beyond weddings, Ashleigh’s experience with family portraiture means she understands how to put people at ease and create memorable group images when you want them. For peace of mind Ash is CRB-approved and brings the professionalism you’d expect from an experienced photographer with a graphic-design background—ensuring your finished images are crafted with an eye for detail and presentation. If you want wedding photographs that feel natural, considered and full of life, Ash Black Photography on Hayling Island specialises in turning your day into lasting, treasured memories.
