Hi, my name is Brian Ashdown. I am a certified professional photographer born in Chippinghurst Manor in the county of Oxfordshire, England. Since a young child, I have always been interested in photography and began developing and printing my own pictures from the age of 12. For 4 years I attended the Polytechnic in Regent Street, London, a college famed worldwide for its photographic courses. I passed my final examinations with credit in Portraiture, Commercial, Industrial and Advertising Photography. I worked for 5 years for a photographic studio in the heart of London specializing in commercial and fashion photography. By the time I left England, wedding photography was the main part of my business. I covered weddings at locations ranging from Westminster Cathedral, The Tower of London Chapel and Caxton Hall (the civil wedding place for the rich and famous) to quiet country chapels. My wife, Valerie, and I came to Virginia, USA, where I started my photographic business, Ashdown Photography. I receive many recommendations for my wedding photography and therefore mainly work in Virginia,  Maryland and D.C. I also cover most other forms of photographic work (see my link to 'Other Services') in both color and black and white. I am available evenings and weekends when most studios are closed. During my career as a wedding photographer I have been privileged to attend a huge diversity of weddings, so I am familiar and sensitive with the procedures and traditions of Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Greek Orthodox and Hindu weddings.                                                                                                                                                                           We can customize a wedding photography package for you .
