Berkshire based Peter Riding of Ashton Lamont

  • Offers an affordable photography and video service throughout the South of England and personally shoots every event

Choose your style

  • Informal with the emphasis on storytelling and minimal posing, or a timeless approach with lots of elegant finely posed portraits and groups. Peter does not impose a style on you

Any duration

  • Many wedding couples book for all day, from getting ready to shortly after the first dance. A much shorter duration is readily available including "simple" registry office ceremonies. You'll find some suggested options on the Prices Page. All of these can be varied to suit you

Photography can be "stand-alone" or include some video

  • And video can be "stand-alone" or include some photography. See the main Video Page

Professional equipment

  • Including portable off-camera lighting - especially useful if poor weather precludes the venue exterior or if the ambient indoor lighting is very low

Every kind of event is very welcome

  • The riot of colour at Nigerian Hindu Chinese Muslim and Sikh ceremonies, elegant English rose brides, humanist, exuberant gay weddings - bring it on! Christenings, parties, anniversaries, graduations, summer balls, videos for funerals and requiems etc, can be photographed or video'd or both. Please contact for an individual quote

This page features just a few of the many hundreds of weddings and other events Peter has shot as a full-time professional photographer for over 15 years. Browse lots more photos via the Galleries Page
