UWP ControlTemplate Attached DependencyProperty Binding ImageSource

I have a templated button, of which I have several attached dependency properties all working just fine with the {TemplateBinding myExtension:Item.XXX}.

However, when I come to try and bind to an image URL, I can't do it. If I bind the URL to a textbox in the control template, it shows, but if I use the same binding on an ImageSource, I get nothing.

           <Grid.Background>
               <ImageBrush>
                   <ImageBrush.ImageSource>
                       <BitmapImage UriSource="{TemplateBinding extensions:ShopButton.Asset}" />
                   </ImageBrush.ImageSource>
               </ImageBrush>
           </Grid.Background>

I've tried using brackets "(extensions:ShopButtonAsset)", I've tried using different property types string/uri.

Any ideas?

<ImageBrush>
    <ImageBrush.ImageSource>
        <Binding Path="(extensions:ShopButton.Asset)" **RelativeSource="{RelativeSource TemplatedParent}"** />
    </ImageBrush.ImageSource>
</ImageBrush>

Try using RelativeSource instead:

<BitmapImage UriSource="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=TemplatedParent}, Path=(extensions:ShopButton.Asset)}"/>
