Candid Chaser is Ash, a Sydney based wedding photographer who blends documentary storytelling with an editorial eye for weddings across Sydney, NSW and overseas.
Candid Chaser is the work of Ash, a Sydney based photographer with over eight years of experience documenting love stories, weddings, portraits and meaningful moments. Originally from India, Ash has called Australia home for more than sixteen years and once worked as a secondary school teacher in England, an experience that shaped the patience and people skills brought to every wedding. As the name suggests, the aim is to capture stories as they are truly felt.
The approach blends documentary coverage with an editorial eye. Through the ceremony and reception Ash works quietly, reading the room and anticipating reactions, then offers gentle direction for portraits, with simple prompts and natural movement rather than stiff posing. Flash is used with intention when the evening calls for it. Collections suit everything from registry weddings and elopements to full days, with extra hours, a second photographer, a content creator and albums available.
Recent wedding stories include Maria and Harry's Greek Orthodox wedding, from Saint Sophia church to the Royal Botanic Garden and a Queen Victoria Building reception, and Adele and Josh's wedding above the clouds in the Blue Mountains. Ash also photographs destination weddings and offers portrait sessions with a 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230SL Pagoda.
