A little bit about AuraWeddings in Hassan’s words:
“Before I launched AuraWeddings in 2019, I worked as a high-end freelance wedding photographer, capturing the glamour of weddings in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and even overseas in the United States. What an amazing journey it’s been!From these experiences, one thing became clear: Your wedding’s worth isn’t defined by the budget. If stress clouds the day and you’re not fully there, no amount of money can compensate. What truly counts is how you and your partner feel in that moment – that’s the experience that truly stays with you.Weddings can be overwhelming with all the details to plan and worry about. That’s where the role of a photographer goes beyond just taking pictures – it’s about being a reassuring guide, ensuring you have the best day without the stress. You’d want to choose us as your photographers because we’ll guide you through the day, reducing your stress, and provide you with the best experience that will truly resonate with you.So, when I founded AuraWeddings, the vision was simple: put the couple’s experience first. Of course, we’re here to capture the beauty of the wedding and tell the story of the day. But beyond that, we want to be your friends before your photographers. Because on your big day, the last thing you need is to feel awkward spending such an intimate moment with someone you don’t know.”

A LITTLE ABOUT MATT ASHTON PHOTOGRAPHY IN HIS WORDS:
“Here at Matt Ashton Photography, to put it simply, it is all about telling your story while bringing the good vibes! I want to capture who you are and all of the natural, spontaneous and REAL moments because at the end of the day that’s what really matters. I’m not about making you look or feel uncomfortable, posed or to smile straight down the camera.
I love to capture the moments that you are laughing so hard you snort or you start to cry happy tears. I want you to dance, move and remember the exact moment in time you are in.
I still remember the first time I got asked to shoot a wedding. It was honestly a life changing moment for me and has lead me to where I am today. I felt it was such an honour to be trusted to capture an incredible moment like that & to this day I still feel that feeling.”
Why choose Matt Ashton Photography for your wedding day?
Natural, spontaneous, good vibes, real love.
Matt will provide a ‘no fuss’ and ‘no awkward photos’ kind of experience. If you’re worried about you or your partner not being ‘photo people’, never fear. Matt is your guy and will get the shots!
Matt is laid back, and prides himself on being able to create a relaxed environment so that you can enjoy yourself and feel comfortable in every moment. If you want someone to capture you in the same pose, smiling straight down the camera and are not keen on an adventure, he’s probably not the photographer for you.
Real client reviews:
“We had Matt photograph our wedding in Jervis Bay and I am so glad we found him for our day. Matt was incredible both during the lead up and on our day. He was super responsive, always open for a chat and provided us with multiple opportunities to ask questions and go through our plan. On the day, Matt was amazing. He was super calm, so much fun to be around and knew exactly how to capture all the moments in the most natural and easy way. Matt made our photo sessions one of the most enjoyable parts of our wedding and he instantly captured our dream pics in no time at all. Matt sent through some (lots) of sneak peaks the following day and we were blown away by how beautiful they are. Every time we look at our images, we instantly revisit the magic of the day. We highly recommend Matt- he is the perfect choice for your day.” – Jessie & Jarrod
“We cannot recommend Matt highly enough!! The whole process was easy and stress free. Matt also helped us pick a videographer and they both worked so well together. Matt made the day fun and he created such a great vibe. He hyped us up and had us all laughing but also managed to blend in and capture some really beautiful moments. The sneak peak photos we received the following day were such a nice surprise. Our photos are more incredible than we could have imagined. Matt you did such an amazing job and we are so thankful you were apart of our day!” – Annabel & David

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT BY DANNY PHOTOGRAPHY
A little bit about Danny, in his own words:
Being invited to be apart of people’s lives, capturing photos that tell their stories and lived experiences is an incredible privilege. A creative obsession, it’s hard to explain
the dopamine-rush that comes with a single click of the camera, knowing that those few seconds have been freeze-framed forever – and when you’re behind the lens, there’s always moments waiting to be captured….it’s the gift that keeps on giving!
That’s why your story is my passion. Documenting your milestones with a naturalistic approach, these are the mementos that you can share with your family and friends for years and generations to come. Imagine sitting down with your little ones or future grandkids, sharing the story of how love came to be. Photographs are memories that you can hold in your heart and hands, allowing you to relive the fleeting, irreplaceable good times of days gone past.
Whether we’re planning your wedding day, engagement session or a special family milestone, know that I’m in it for the long haul – there’s no greater satisfaction than following you throughout your life’s journey, becoming a part of your family and capturing the moments that matter most to you.
Real reviews:
“Firstly, save yourself the time with reading all
of his 5 star reviews, and book your wedding with him. GO NOW, RUN DONT WALK!
DANNY! I have no words to describe this man. He’s humble, funny, caring and he made us feel the most comfortable whilst doing our wedding photos.
If you want quality photos and a good laugh, you honestly can not go wrong with BY DANNY PHOTOGRAPHY. I guarantee 10000%.
For me the one thing my husband and I don’t regret at our wedding, was our photographer and our videographer. And that’s what you want AMAZING MEMORIES” – Daniella & David
“This review is so hard to write because I am struggling to find the words to describe just how good Danny is at photography. He captured the essence of me and my husband so well. He even did a pre-wedding shoot with us to help get me comfortable in front of the camera and I was just blown away by how relaxed and easy he made the whole process. There was no forced smiles or fake poses and the photos came out so good. I cannot recommend him highly enough, he is amazing and I couldn’t be happier. And he was so accommodating with anything we wanted. He went above and beyond through the whole process including on our wedding day. Thank you Danny, we will definitely use you again when we need a professional photographer.” – Gabriella & Josh
“Danny’s warm and professional nature helped to make our special day as incredible as we hoped. His service is incredibly personalised, he made it easy to be natural throughout our photo shoot and the entire day. Danny continued to correspond with us afterwards and delivered photos more amazing than we could have hoped for.
We would recommend Danny to anybody looking for an excellent photographer to be a seamless part of their day!” – Roishene & Jacob
