Wedding Photography
Ashleigh was our wedding photographer and we are so happy with her work. Both the posed and candid shots are amazing and beautiful. Ashleigh's photographs have detail, whilst still somehow capturing emotions and atmosphere. Good value too. Genuinely we couldn't be happier and highly recommend. More...

General Photography
From the minute Ashleigh responded to my request I knew that our wedding photography journey was going to be a remarkable!
With not a huge time frame to work with, Ashleigh was always professional, and worked alongside us to make sure she provided us with the memories that we aspired to have.
She captured so much more than we had expected and her photos from our day were absolutely breathtaking!
I couldn’t recommend Brookleigh photography highly enough.
Thank you Ashleigh.

Your wedding was an absolute joy to photograph and the effort that you put into timing and small details was sublime. It was obvious how special the day was to you, and I am glad that my photography captured that and that you are thrilled with your results! I will be using photos of the Kinglake sunset for years to come!

I chose Ash to do my son's publicity shots and am so glad I did, as she is amazing! Her insight and creativity make her stand out from the crowd. Ash offered ideas and suggestions but was also super receptive to her clients needs. I would highly recommend Ash. More...

Wedding Photography
I offer customized wedding packages with a minimum duration of just (1) hour, and I have two set package options (6 and 8 hours of photography). I travel around Melbourne and Victoria capturing wedding celebrations of all sizes and durations, and I specialise in a candid style of photography that captures both movement and emotion - but I tailor the aesthetic of the images to each individual client. I send through a sample array of images 3-5 days after the big day for your perusal and at this point I can implement any changes that you request for the final look of your photos.
Your wedding photography package includes all of the best images sent as digital high resolution images in (2) size options (a file for printing that is high quality and high resolution, and one that is 40% of the full size and a slightly lower quality - perfect for sharing on social media and saving to your phone for frequent viewing!). For sessions under (4) hours in length, the images will be sent as a digital download via Dropbox (an easy and convenient file transfer service that allows you to download the files straight onto your device/s). For wedding photography packages over (4) hours in length I provide both a digital download of the 40% sized images and a keepsake USB with both sized images, which will be ready for Express Postage (fee included) within a guaranteed six (6) weeks of the wedding date.
There is a $200 non-refundable deposit to secure your booking, and the remainder of the fee is due (2) weeks prior to the wedding date. You can choose to pay installments (minimum $300 per instalment), or a lump sum.
I encourage my wedding clients to book a no-obligation consultation (either in person or via Zoom) where we will discuss your needs, and help you determine whether I am the right photographer for you! This is such an important step, as you have to be comfortable with, and confident in, your photographer. My aim is always to make the photography process enjoyable and easy, and to help you design a photographic journey that truly captures the spirit of your wedding. I enjoy honesty and will always provide a real opinion based on my years of experience capturing happy couples!
Family Photography
Family portraits are not just great to share on social media, but they often take pride of place in the family home. My package makes family photography affordable and my goal is to make the session enjoyable and a truly special and intimate experience. Do you have a location that is special to your family, or a particular aesthetic that you would enjoy in your photos (such as a forest feel, a fresh beachy scene or an open field with blue sky)? Would your kids feel more comfortable in the fresh air, where they can play and enjoy the beautiful surroundings? I live and work in the Yarra Valley and am surrounded by beautiful locations that are just a short drive away.
Commercial Photography
Running a business is a labour of love and it can be both physically and emotionally demanding. When it comes to Commercial photography, my clients need someone who understands the importance of attention to detail and who can use their years of experience to streamline the photography process. Due to the complex and personal nature of business/commercial photography, and the need to tailor each job to the individual/product/service - I also tailor the quote to the individual client. This unfortunately means that a consultation is required for a quote to be drawn up, but I am happy to do the consult via email, phone or Zoom to make it as convenient as possible.
I have a full service photography studio with a multitude of backdrop options, and access to models of all sizes, shapes and ages (including feline and canine models). I am also able to provide and organise professional hair & makeup styling, and streamline the process as effectively as possible to save you time and money.
I work with a variety of business owners/sole traders and the majority of my experience has been in the fashion industry (capturing clothing stills, lifestyle images, model portfolios and website product photos). The work that I am most passionate about is branding and portfolio development for women in business (headshots, branding lifestyle images, website content creation, social media content creation etc). I bring my own experience (as a woman, a business owner and a photographer) and I use this to create a safe space for other female sole traders/business owners. My ideal client is the woman who;
Wants to be truly heard and understood by a photographer who is patient, empathetic and kind.
Wants honestly and who values real opinions - no bullshit.
Wants a photographer who engages fully and gives each client her full attention, and who does not overbook herself to the point of diminishing return.
Wants professional quality images without being overcharged and under appreciated - affordability has been at the forefront of my business model since day (1), and my prices are not a reflection of a lack of confidence or a lack of skill, they are by design to allow inclusiveness for all budget levels.
Pet Portrait Photography
Pet Portraits are my favourite part of the job - the people who say "never work with kids or animals" obviously aren't fully qualified veterinary nurses (like me) who enjoy a challenge! I will discuss with you before your booking if there are any special needs (e.g. fearful, aggressive, food allergies etc) so that I can get a feel for your pet and their needs on the day. I am happy to accommodate any behavioural or social issues that your pet may experience and I spend the first minutes of each session on the floor creating positive associations and trust bonds to ensure that their experience is as positive as possible! I capture any pet, of any size, and have had the joy of photographing everything from exotic African parrots to Alpacas.
