About Ashdon
Ashdon sits in the rolling chalk hills of north-west Essex, near the Cambridgeshire border. It is the epitome of a sleepy, undiscovered English village, characterized by winding lanes, thatched cottages, and the striking 18th-century Ashdon Windmill. Unlike the busier commuter towns in the south of the county, this area feels completely detached from the rush of modern life, offering an incredibly tranquil, time-capsule atmosphere for a wedding. The surrounding agricultural heritage provides a deeply rustic and authentic countryside backdrop.
Local Tip: Lean into the secluded nature of the village by organizing a relaxed, acoustic reception. The windmill and the open chalk fields offer an exceptional backdrop for golden-hour photography, capturing the vast, uninterrupted skies of the local landscape without modern buildings in sight.

Google Reviews
We could not recommend Jennings Photography more! David and Emma are honestly some of the nicest people and went above and beyond all day to help make the day as smooth as possible (including Emma helping me back into my shoes before our first dance!) the photos we have back are absolutely stunning and have taken us back to the day reliving moments which they captured so perfectly! David and Emma have a way that allows you to feel so comfortable around them, we spent the day laughing and joking and just having a great time!
The video of our ceremony is shot beautifully! We absolutely love their style of photography and didn’t feel like we ‘missed’ any of the day posing for loads of photographs but have so many stunning pictures. We had sneak pics so quickly and within 5 weeks our entire gallery.
Genuinely could not recommend anymore, we knew from our first call that our pictures would be great, but are still blown away by just how great they are. Memories to treasure forever, thank you!
We had the most incredible wedding, and David and Emma captured it all perfectly. They were organised, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process feel smooth from start to finish. On the day, they arrived early and stayed late, quietly working in the background while somehow managing to be everywhere at once. Every request we had, big or small, they made happen without hesitation. Nothing was ever too much. And Emma? She was basically our fifth bridesmaid, always nearby, fluffing the dress, keeping things calm, and bringing great energy. True to their word, the photos landed right on the four-week mark, and they were worth every minute of the wait. We were blown away, not just by how beautiful they were, but by how well they told the story of the day. They caught moments we hadn’t even noticed happening. We’re so grateful to them.
David photographed our wedding last Saturday and we can’t recommend him enough! From the very moment he arrived, he blended into the group & began taking photos. He wasn’t in our faces or in the way at all, it all worked perfectly the whole day. We had booked him from getting ready all the way to the evening reception, which was excellent. From the first quote & booking all the way to the day, communication was brilliant. We’ve had a few sneak peaks through, just 2 days after our wedding and they’ve made us so excited to see the rest as they’re just beautiful & such good quality 😍
Thank you so much ❤️
We had the pleasure of Jennings Photography capturing our Wedding Day. David and Emma made the planning process very easy. Firstly, we were asked to send them ideas of what we wanted, then they put together their own timeline for the day. Jennings Photography specialises in candid (non-posed) shots, which is exactly what we wanted. At the editing stage, they kept us updated. They sent a link to a couple of sneak peek shots, which got us very excited! It didn’t take long at all for us to receive a link to the full gallery of 500 photos! We made it an occasion to look through all the photos with a glass of fizz on the TV. It was an emotional experience! David and Emma captured the day perfectly from start to finish. They were very discreet on the day. We hardly noticed the photos being taken, which really made those candid shots. We highly recommend Jennings Photography!
David & Emma went above & beyond before during and after our wedding day
I liked the idea of candid photographs and we were not disappointed. Great planning, ideas and information including a timetable before the day with an invite to make any changes, made for a relaxed friendly experience and access to David & Emma’s experience, knowledge and expertise was so appreciated. We cannot thank them enough !!
What a brilliant photographer David is. He recently captured our wedding and did a fantastic job. We were clear that we wanted candid photographs that didn’t disrupt the flow of the day and David delivered 10 fold! We recently received our gallery from him and as we scrolled through each photo we relived the memory and joy of the day with every image captured. We feel so lucky to have photographs that capture the essence, emotion and memory of the day so perfectly. If you are looking for a great photographer for your wedding, who is also a effective communicator, does what he says he is going to do and is a joy to work with David is perfect for the job.
We could not be any happier with the wonderful pictures of our wedding we received from Jennings photography!
The pictures are amazing and capture the essence of the day beautifully we are so grateful
Your professionalism has been second to none and we would highly recommend Jennings photography.

Frequently Asked Questions for Ashdon
Do you charge travel fees for weddings in Ashdon?
One of the benefits of booking a local team is the simplicity. Because we are local to the area, we generally do not charge any travel fees for weddings in Ashdon. All our standard packages include travel within Essex, meaning the price you see is the price you pay, with no hidden costs for getting to your venue.
Does your relaxed, documentary style work for Ashdon venues?
Definitely. Our documentary wedding photography style is all about capturing the atmosphere of the day, and Ashdon has some of the most stunning backdrops in the region. Whether you are getting married in a historic building or an outdoor setting in Ashdon, we focus on unposed, natural moments that make the most of the scenery without dragging you away from your guests for hours of posing.
Will you visit our venue in Ashdon before the wedding?
We pride ourselves on being fully prepared. If we haven’t photographed at your specific Ashdon wedding venue before, we will do our homework! We typically arrive early on the day (or visit beforehand if needed) to scout out the best locations for light and composition. However, because we work so frequently as Essex wedding photographers, we are usually very familiar with how the light works in this area across different seasons.
How long does it take to receive our wedding photos?
We know you are excited to see your images, so we send a selection of sneak peeks within a couple of days of your wedding! Your full, professionally edited gallery is typically ready within 6–8 weeks. All images are delivered via a secure online gallery where you can easily view, download, and share your high-resolution photos with friends and family. We also include a special photo film slideshow set to music to help you relive the magic.
