Somerset Wedding Photographer?

Hello I’m Paul

Husband, dad and wedding photographer based in Somerset. Think of me as your storytelling sidekick for your wedding day, I am a fun, relaxed photographer, widely regarded for my natural documentary style photography to keep your day authentic.

Ever been to a wedding where the photographers were more like guests than suppliers? That’s the atmosphere I strive for. Think of me as an extension of your bridal party, there to capture your special moments while also dancing, laughing, and engaging with everyone,  after all, weddings are about celebrating love, not feeling awkward in front of a camera.

Whether it’s the heartfelt squeezes during vows, the tears of laughter during pre-wedding drinks, or Uncle Derek breaking it down on the dance floor in a way only he can, I’m on the lookout, especially for all the quirks that make your day uniquely yours.

As a Somerset Wedding Photographer: I have The Best Job in the World – No Question!

“A little about me….

I have been capturing weddings ever since my first one back in 2014 and since then I was hooked. I have shot 100’s of weddings in Somerset and across the southwest of the UK and have been privileged to shoot weddings in Poland and the USA.

If you’re setting the vibe for a laid-back affair or gearing up for an epic celebration, consider me on-board, to clarify, I’m all in and after all, would love to be a part of your unique story!” 📸✨

We had Paul as our photographer at Crowcombe Court a few weeks ago for our wedding day & we couldn’t recommend him enough! Our photos are absolutely incredible and we are so grateful to be able to look back on the photos and remember our day. He made everybody feel at ease & dealt with the chaos of group photos amazingly. Me & my husband are both really awkward at getting our picture taken so we also did the pre wedding shoot which made sure we felt much calmer on the day. We would definitely recommend booking him ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We can’t recommend Paul Aston Photography enough! From the very first moment to the last. Paul was absolutely amazing. His talent, patience, and genuine kindness meant so much to us. Even when a few hiccups popped up, he kept us calm, smiling and at complete ease. Paul fitted in so naturally with our guests that he never felt like just our photographer, he truly felt like a friend. Our guests absolutely loved him, and he always managed to get everyone smiling and relaxed, which really shows in the photos. We’re blown away by how beautiful his pictures are, they have perfectly captured every moment. Paul is such a top guy, and his passion for making your day special shines through every shot. We will forever be grateful to Paul for being part of our day and helping us create memories we’ll cherish forever! ❤️💕

Paul captured our wedding at Crowcombe Court in November 2025. He is wonderful. So pleased with his service from start to finish; he is warm, friendly and you feel utterly relaxed around him. Even when taking photos in the busiest of places (Ashton Court on a Saturday morning!), he makes you feel like you are the only people there. He knew our venue like the back of his hand and found photo opportunities in places and at times I never would have thought of; our impromptu golden hour photographs are absolute treasures.

From the moment we first got in touch with Paul, we knew we were in safe hands. He was warm, professional, and instantly put us at ease. On the day itself, he was absolutely brilliant – not only capturing everything so beautifully but also bringing such great energy to the wedding. He blended in so naturally, but at the same time everyone noticed how fantastic he was. Guests kept commenting on how much fun he made it, and how he managed to get the perfect shots without it ever feeling forced. For me personally, I’m not the biggest fan of being in front of the camera, but Paul had a way of gently encouraging me to take more photos – and I’m so glad he did. Those little nudges have given us memories we’ll treasure forever, and I honestly can’t thank him enough for that. From start to finish, first contact to the final gallery – the whole process has been effortless and enjoyable. The photos are beyond what we could have hoped for, and every time we look at them we’re taken straight back to the best day of our lives. Paul didn’t just take pictures, he captured the feeling of the day, and that’s priceless. We couldn’t recommend him more highly – if you’re lucky enough to have Paul as your photographer, you’re in for something truly special.

I have had the opportunity to work with Paul at several weddings where he has been the photographer and I have provided videography by his side and I've enjoyed every single one of them. Paul is an exceptionally genuine man and very 'real' in his approach. Couples and guests are instantly won over by his natural charm and together we've made some incredible memories shooting weddings! From my perspective, Paul makes working alongside a photographer an absolute dream. He is professional, organised and efficient - ensuring all required photos are taken quickly and without hindering the couple's wedding day. I'm proud to say, Paul has become a very close friend of mine since we've worked weddings together and I'm thrilled to leave this positive review for him! 💛 If you are reading this and considering Paul for your wedding photography, rest assured, you will not regret this! 🥳 - Chris Diamond Film Weddings

A huge thank you Paul for capturing our special day so beautifully! Every photo tells a story, and you managed to catch not just the big moments but also the little details and emotions we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t be more grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly. 📸💍❤️ Super excited to see the rest of the photos 💕! If anyone is looking for a photographer who brings both talent and heart, we couldn’t recommend Paul enough. Mr and Mrs Cleal

Your wedding day is easily the best day of your life, the second best is the day you receive your photos from Paul Aston. Paul not only captured our day beautifully, he added to it with his infectious personality and his ability to take away all of the anxieties and stress you face on your day. On the day it felt like we'd known Paul forever and while that isn't true, during that blink and you'll miss it period we got to experience not only how exceptional Paul is as a photographer but also how exceptional Paul is as a person. I could not recommend him higher. Thank you Paul.

There are not enough words to express how grateful and appreciative we are for having Paul Aston as our photographer! From booking him, to the big day, Paul made it so easy, comfortable and fun. He took away any anxieties and we were able to let loose and got the most perfect photos that make us beam and cry all at once when we look back on our day! We have had so many comments from family and guests to say how funny Paul was and what a great addition he made to day because he absolutely did! Paul felt like more than our photographer he felt like a friend - thank you, thank you, thank you! 🥰

WHY CHOOSE ME TO BE YOUR
wedding photographer?

I’m not the kind of wedding photographer who hides in the corner all day — and I’m not the one running the show either.

Most of the time, I naturally align myself with the wedding party. I’m there with you, chatting, laughing, keeping the energy up and helping things feel easy — more like an extra member of the bridal party than someone pointing a camera at you.

That said, every group is different.

Some weddings are loud, lively and full of banter. Others are calmer and more reserved. I read the room quickly and adjust my approach to suit the people in front of me. I’ll match your energy, not impose mine.

That’s how you get natural photos — because people feel comfortable being themselves.

“I was a very nervous bride and he made me feel completely at ease.“

GOT SOME QUESTIONS?

---

How do I book you for our wedding?

Get in touch. If you include your date in the contact form. Therefore, I can easily check if I have that date available and get back to you. Additionally, I do require a signed contract and a booking fee for the purpose of securing your date. This is all done accordingly through my booking system.

Do you travel for weddings?

I am a huge fan of travel, and I am happy to go any where, travelling over 2 hours, therefore, I may need accommodation the night before.

I have shot weddings in San Francisco, and in Poland so I do like to stretch my wings and fly!

What about Wedding Insurance?

Paul Aston Photography is fully insured. Since many venues and reception locations require this for wedding photographers and may ask you to contact me so I can provide details to them.

When will our photos be ready?

You will receive a sneak peek of your images within 2 weeks of your wedding date. In time, the rest of your gallery will follow approximately 3-5 weeks after your wedding date.

High RESOLUTION PHOTOS

I will send all of your digital photos in a beautiful online gallery. Therefore, this will make it easy for you to view and share with your family & friends straightaway, and you’ll be able to download the files in both high resolution for print, and web-sized for the purpose of viewing and sharing.

Can we meet before the wedding?

Absolutely, did I tell you I love coffee? Hence, meeting couples before the big day is a very important part of our work, and generally we feel it’s very important to build a relationship with you.

In need of a second photographer?

I do (as part of my platinum package) I must admit, she is quite spectacular too! She happens to be my best friend and wife! Occasionally, if she is booked for another life event, therfore, I will hire out another professional photographer to second shoot for me. They will have a very similar style to mine and especially in order that our work will be seamless. All editing is done by me, therefore you can be sure that your wedding day gallery will be cohesive and tell the story of your day in the most artistic and professional way.

We feel awkward at having our photo taken, how will this work?”

You are not alone. In truth, many people feel the same way and I’m no exception.

Don’t worry, my style is really relaxed with hardly any posing and most importantly forced un-natural poses. In reality and on the few occasions during the day that you’ll expect to be posing, pics of just the two of you for example, we’ll keep it really chilled and informal.

BEAUTIFUL & NATURAL PHOTOS

We’ll go for a walk for no more than 20mins or so, and I’ll get you to walk, chat and smooch naturally. I’ll be silly and make you laugh which in order to make you forget its photo time. For the rest of the day you’ll hardly realise I’m there.
