What Our Clients Say

Ashton from Essntl Media produced over 50 episodes of my podcast Beyond The Surface, helping us reach over 1 millions views across our social media channels. He has a real ability for leveling up systems and processes and consistently brings new creative ideas to the table that turn into real results. I couldn't recommend Ashton from Essntl Media enough!

Noa Woolloff
As Ashton’s first client, I was blown away by his professionalism and ability to truly understand what I needed. His content played a massive role in helping me stand out in a competitive industry - opening doors and attracting offers from major brands like Asics and Lululemon. If you’re looking for someone who delivers high quality and impact, I’d 100% recommend working with Ashton.

Ben Edusei
Ashton from Essntl Media was such a pleasure to have at our wedding! He was so understanding with what we wanted and was super patient and kind with everyone, especially the kids (there were a few lol) We love the photos he took, it captured our marriage so perfectly. Thank you again!

Dionne & Mark
Ashton was awesome to work with! He captured all the best moments of my 40th birthday without making it feel staged or awkward. The photos turned out amazing and really brought the night back to life. Everyone loved them! I couldn’t be happier with the results, I’d highly recommend him to anyone.

Kerryn Allan
We used Essntl Medias expertise to video and take professional photos at our grandmothers 80th birthday. Essntl Media went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with the outcome. The communication regarding when we would receive the photos and videos was great and delivered when promised. I would definitely recommend using Essntl Media

Ashton absolutely nailed the vision we had in mind. The content not only looked amazing, but it also performed incredibly well on meta-ads. He was easy to communicate with, super organised, and delivered everything fast which made our job so much easier. We’ve worked with a lot of creatives, but Ashton stood out for how invested he was in getting results, not just pretty footage. Can’t wait to collaborate with him again!
