A Brighton Wedding Photographer covering Sussex, Surrey and beyond...

Hi I'm Michael of Ashdown Wedding Photography, I am a Brighton wedding photographer and I love documenting couples' wedding day, if you’re looking for relaxed, unposed wedding photography in Brighton or across Sussex, you’re in the right place. My approach is all about telling the story of your day as it truly happened — the emotions, the in-between moments, and the memories that matter most. 

Relaxed, Natural Storytelling

My Wedding photography style can be described as Reportage or Documentary, capturing the story of couples' days documenting moments of laughter, tears and the rollercoaster of emotions photographed wedding in a way that’s authentic and real — nothing staged or awkward. Just honest moments.

What Is Documentary Wedding Photography?

Documentary, reportage, photojournalism – they all describe the same approach to wedding photography.
It’s about capturing the day naturally, without interrupting or staging things. Most of the day is shot candidly, using my experience to be in the right place at the right time. No glossy wedding magazine setups, Just real moments, real people, and honest photography.
