Andy & Outi

Back in August I shot a wedding for Andy and Outi. It was a lovely informal affair set in their back garden with a marquee and caterers. The theme was definitely a vintage one with scatterings of pink flowers all over the place and chalk board labels (which is something I did at my own wedding so I am definitely a fan!). It was a really relaxed day, with a lot of emotion which made it one of my favourite weddings to shoot to date. Outi is Finnish, and it was really interesting to have the Speeches read in Finnish and then translated to English. Beautiful couple, lovely day.

Here are a few photos from the day...

A few work bits from 2013

Hello everyone!

Been a little behind with my blogging, its been a strange/unpredictable year. I lost my wonderful father to Cancer after a very short battle, and thought I should mention him and thank him publicly for being the greatest Dad ever and making me the person I am today. He was the perfect role model and I am eternally grateful for everything he has done for me.

As I am a little behind I thought I'd merge a few of my jobs in together to save time!

In January of this year I did a really cool shoot for Benefit Cosmetics in a funky studio just off Oxford Circus, London. The shoot was with Maggie and Annie Ford-Danielson the Global Beauty Authorities & HSN Ambassadors for Benefit Cosmetics, and also the daughters of Jean Ford the creator (twin of Jane Ford, also the creator of B.C). The ladies were picture perfect, well they would be having such a glamorous job and really were a pleasure to be around all day! Tom shot the "How To" video of them demonstrating how to create the perfect looks for different occasions and I did the Behind the Scenes to be used for their Blogs. Definitely one of my more enjoyable jobs, always love working with the Bene-team!

The next job I felt should get a mention was in March, in Amsterdam. It was a real honour to be booked to shoot the infamous footballer Pele in the very Hilton where John Lennon wrote Imagine (Click here to see the original room before licks of paint etc). My Dad was so proud! It was a very humbling experience and he was such a lovely man. I remember half way through the shoot (which was of him on the bed in the hotel suite holding his new Pele football), I laughed and said "Well, I can tell you've done this before". It was all very surreal, probably the highlight of my career to date. Not very many people can claim that they've worked with such an infamous person in such a special location, I feel very honoured.

Here is the main photograph from the shoot..

Until next time! x

You and Me

So, not strictly "work" related.. but I've just come back from my honeymoon and Tom has finished editing our wedding video! I am SO pleased with it I wanted to share it everyone!
CLICK HERE TO WATCH VIDEO
Tom normally doesn't do wedding videos, but he made an exception for ours of course! I recently have decided that because I still have the wedding bug that it is something that I would like to do (as and when the opportunity arises!). Here is a link to our very good friends Lisa and Theo's wedding that Tom and I filmed together Lisa and Theo's Wedding.
If you are getting married and want it filmed then drop me a message and we'll see what we can do!

Digital FilmMaker Magazine

We are proud to announce that Tom has been asked to write an article about his career and Nightlife videography for Digital FilmMaker Magazine. The issue comes out on 21st March 2012 (the day we go on honeymoon actually so we'll grab a copy at Gatwick!).
Being featured in a film magazine has been a life long dream for Tom, so I couldn't be happier that this is happening for him. The article is laced with my photography (17 images to be precise), so it's a doubly proud day for both of us! We now have a really good relationship with the editor so it looks like we'll have a lot more involvement with the magazine going forward.
Don't forget to pick up your copy available in all Newsagents, including WHSmith and Tesco.

Welcome!

Hi everyone, and welcome to my first blog.. ever!

I will be using this blog to post images from shoots past and present, to let you know what I’m up to, and also to share my personal images which I am particularly proud of. I will try and update my content as much as possible, even though I tend to be all over the place most of the time! 

​

If most of you don't know who I am then have a look at www.tpakproductions.com to see what it is i do (alongside photography). When I'm not shooting stills I am shooting and editing video, so life is never dull! Tom and I started TPAKproductions in 2007, and have been making our way in the industry at a pretty rapid rate. We eat, sleep and breathe what we do. In short, we love it. I am so proud of everything we've achieved, and I am seriously looking forward to what the future holds. 

​

As well as all my “Ashleyisms”, I will also be promoting Tom’s blog and TPAKproductions’ comings and goings. Stay tuned..
