Ash, Aakarsha and the rest of the team are an absolute pleasure to work with. They have a fantastic approach to working with children and made the whole experience fun and easy for my daughter and I. Nothing was too much trouble and everything had a child-centred approach. If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would do so. We look forward to working with the team at MagicEye Design again in the future. More...

Highly recommended for being very responsive, ability to produce the whole photo shoot, find models and be flexible to clients wishes and needs. Also offers support for social media on top of commercial photography. Ash and his team do it all! If your brand needs professional images that will make you look the part, look no further. More...

We booked Ash for our wedding, it was a only a very small ceremony, just the two of us. Ash was wonderful from the very start, he was very informative at the booking stage and really made us feel comfortable that we were going to be getting a stellar service. It was clear that he was very passionate about photography in general and even after so many years hasn't lost this passion.On the day, he arrived early to our house and was great from the first picture. Ash was respectful of our house and our day and asked questions all day about what kind of photos we did or didn't want. He has a great eye for unique photo opportunities and helped to make our day really special. He has a great sense of humour, and conversely was also never intrusive during the ceremony, getting great photos without ever feeling like he was too close. We had a perfect day and have the pictures to prove it thanks to Ash. More...

We booked a session recently with Ash for ourselves and our 3 children. Have to say it was a real pleasure - Ash is a true gentleman and had amazing patience with the kids, one of who is only 1 and wasn't always up for his picture being taken!
The 2 older kids thoroughly enjoyed it though, coming away fancying themselves as models :-)
The enthusiasm and professionalism we received was more than we could have wished for. The attention Ash pays to detail, both during the session and in all the editing after, Is to be commended! The finished photographs are something we will treasure.
We would definitely recommend Ash and are likely to be back ourselves at a later date when everyone is old enough to cooperate :-)
Thanks again Ash,
Michelle & Richard

Ash covered our wedding at Galgorm and everyone is so impressed with the quality of his images. He gave us a very good deal, was there all the time, helped us get out album designed and ordered at cost price by not keeping a penny as his profit which none of the photographers in the market would do. Thank you Ash for creating life long memories me and Sarah! More...

I booked a family photo shoot session with Ash recently and must say it was an absolute pleasure to be at his studio. Ash is very friendly and great with children, he put us to ease in front of the camera and lights and we got some great family pictures in a wide variety of expressions. Ash also sent us a couple of framed prints as a free gift, overall we recommend him very highly. More...

Ash is probably the only photographer in Northern Ireland who creates advertising campaigns for many international clothing companies, which speaks volumes about his experience and talent, however he is a very down to earth, friendly and a true gentleman. We appreciate the amazing pics and albums you created for us. Thank you! More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
With over 23 years of experience and more than 3000 photo shoots, what I have learnt is that the camera is just a tool, it is how a photographer interacts with the couple & the guests on the day, is what creates the best pictures.
I have always had the compliments from my customers that I take a lot of initiative to create the overall enthusiasm on the day to create amazing pictures, pictures with smiles, fun, emotions and the spirit of the day to capture a complete story.
I carry a lot of reference pictures collected from the best stock of wedding pictures from the world over, a lot of props and ready to be implemented ideas which help set a lively atmosphere and create amazing memories.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
As the wedding is the biggest day for the Bride and the Groom, I prefer to show a lot of reference pictures to ask them what style of pictures they like, discuss what they are wearing, discuss the bride's make up, color schemes, location and decor etc. and plan the day in advance so that we can as a team create a complete story vis a vis still photography and videos while being least obtrusive to the ceremony while only adding to the fun and laughter on the day.
What do you love most about your job?
I ask all my customers a question after they have been given all pictures, albums and videos etc. i.e. "Are you happy?" and nothing pleases me more when we hear the reply that they are very happy!
Hence our motto : We don't make customers just satisfied, but Happy!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I enjoyed photography from a young age, my 10 years of experience at a senior level in the advertising industry gave me an opportunity to work with many, very successful artists, creative people & photographers. It helped me learn from them & ultimately become a photographer I am today. I firmly believe that learning never ends, and even after 3000 photo shoots, I strive to improve the quality of images each and every time I shoot.
Why should our clients choose you?
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee or 100% money back for our services. Our customers can expect to be dealing with a genuine and established professional photography business with our results vis a vis both quality of images and service and not with 'a guy with the camera' the culture which unfortunately is so rampant in photography business today.
