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

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! 🥰
