OVERVIEW
Ash Hughes Photography isn’t about stiff poses or overdone edits. Ash keeps things chilled, real, and all about the couple. With a love for the great outdoors, Ash blends the beauty of your location into every shot – whether it’s a beach elopement, a country wedding, or a quick registry moment followed by a hike. It’s all about documenting the real vibe of the day, without making it feel like a photo shoot.
Ash knows weddings can feel full-on, so he works in the background, making couples feel comfortable, relaxed, and like themselves. There is no awkward staging or forced smiles, just honest moments captured in the best light.

About
I'm a husband, a dad (of 2), a dog dad, and big lover of anything outdoors. I love my sport, fishing, the surf, a roadtrip, sitting around a campfire with a few brews, and just being social in any aspect of my life. I spent 15yrs in the corporate world as an accountant - a life I do not miss - and fell into photography due to a back injury that kept me out of the water, and instead taking photos of the surf. I pinch myself that it's now my day job, and one I absolutely love!

Well the answer is anywhere you want me. My main two that I advertise though are Victoria (anywhere) and Queensland (mainly SEQLD up to Yeppoon area). For VICTORIAN WEDDINGS: I am not charging any additional travel fees to come back for Victoria. I will never fly back on the same morning as your wedding, and it'll always be out of Brisbane or the Gold Coast which are major airports with plenty of options in the event of a cancelled or delayed flight. I have plenty of family and friends in Victoria that I'll always be happy to see, as well as an amazing wedding industry which I'm just not ready to completely say goodbye to. So don't hesitate in booking me! For QUEENSLAND WEDDINGS: I'm happy capturing weddings wherever you need me in QLD. I've captured them from Port Douglas, Airlie, Great Keppel to SEQLD - where most of my bookings are. There are so many good spots! I'm happy to extend this into the coastal areas of Northern NSW as it's pretty damn epic in that area. For EVERY OTHER STATE: I have a massive love for travel and if I can make it work with availability, I'm happy to be at your wedding, wherever that is.
It's more of a corporate world interview question isn't it? But in reality the photos are a by-product of what makes a great photographer. I'm married and a strong believer in having as much fun as humanly possible on your day.. My wedding is still the best day of my life, and I want yours to be the same. That is my main goal. If I can keep you having fun all throughout the day then I'm naturally getting the photos that I need to capture those special moments for a lifetime. A great wedding photographer is one that manages and directs you through your day, but not in a manager type way, but a social and efficient manner that keeps you having fun, doesn't turn it into a chore, and gets you to your dancefloor on time to party the night away! That's me!
How about YES!
Who isn't? Well there's a few out there that aren't, but most people are and to be honest it's part of my job to help put you at ease. Embrace the awkwardness! It's by far the number one thing I hear during the enquiry stage of a booking. Most of those couples that you see on Insta with amazing portraits of themselves were once in your same position, telling us photographers that they are camera shy. I've been on your side, I remember getting my photos taken at my wedding. It isn't easy but you adapt quickly. Hopefully you can relax earlier in the day around me without the crowds there yet, and the rest will just flow. If it doesn't we'll get there, promise!
I do offer hybrid photo and video packages.
As Alanis once sung, isn't it ironic? From my point of view, it doesn’t change anything from a photographic sense. It's good luck they say right? It can also make it more fun if you guys are up to it. Bring brollies, a good attitude, maybe some gumboots and dance in the rain. Some of my absolute favourite photos to date have been in the worst conditions.. And I've had a hell of a lot of experience in wet weather weddings, including a cyclone!
