About Me

Hi, I’m Ashley, the storyteller behind the lens at Ashley Layton Photography. With a deep passion for capturing the genuine, unfiltered moments that make every love story unique, I consider myself more than just a wedding photographer – I’m a visual narrator dedicated to crafting timeless memories. Over the past decade, my lens has witnessed the heartfelt exchanges, joyous celebrations, and quiet, meaningful glances that define the essence of love. Based in the picturesque landscapes of Derbyshire, I bring a laid-back approach to every shoot, ensuring couples feel at ease, allowing their authentic connection to shine. Beyond orchestrating poses, I believe in documenting the real, unscripted narrative of your special day. Let’s collaborate, laugh, and create a visual story that resonates with the heart and soul of your love. Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime tale, and I’m here to ensure every chapter is captured with authenticity and artistic flair.

Grab the opportunity to capture memories that you will treasure for a lifetime. The one thing you can’t replace is your memories. Don’t let them fade away from overexposure. I capture the moments that matter so you can re-live the experience every day.

About me -A Personal Touch

When it comes to discussing what you vision for your wedding photos, I understand it can be a bit daunting for many couples. Your thoughts and ideas are incredibly important, and I wholeheartedly encourage open communication. Don’t hold back – feel free to share your expectations, preferred styles, those must-have shots, and any unique elements you’d like to highlight. I’m not just here to take pictures; I’m here to listen, offer guidance, and bring your vision to life. Whether it’s refining your existing ideas or creating a style that’s uniquely yours, let’s collaborate and ensure your wedding photos are everything you’ve dreamed of and more. Your input is the secret sauce to making your wedding day visuals truly spectacular!

I have created a Wedding Planning Checklist which anyone planning a wedding may find useful to make sure they don’t forget anything which is free to download. The number of times I have seen frustrated wedding parties scrambling around was my motivation for creating it.
