Absolutely delighted with the results

We hired John to do our photos for our wedding in September of last year. Originally we had the pre wedding shoot which, if being honest, we dreaded a little as we aren't great at having photos done. However, John put us at ease immediately and it certainly helped come the wedding day. John was professional, friendly and we have been absolutely delighted with the results. We both could not recommend John enough. Pete and Nikki xx

beautiful photos

John was amazing from first contact until the end of the wedding. John made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and that showed in our photos. We had a pre wedding shoot with John which we thought was a lovely idea and meant we could get some beautiful photos before the special day. John went over and beyond on our wedding day and all our guests commented on how amazing John was. We cannot thank you enough and will defiantly be recommending you to all our friends and family! 5 *

We're absolutely thrilled with the final photos

We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with John as he photographed our wedding in November 2017. I (the groom) was in charge of finding a photographer, and with our budget being fairly modest I was nervous about finding the right person to capture our special day. I am so pleased we chose John! He was friendly, professional, accommodating and it goes without saying: very talented. After chatting on the phone about our requirements, we met in September for a pre-wedding photoshoot. This really broke the ice and helped us to know what to expect on the day. We also got some lovely photos out of it to use on our social media accounts etc. He also met with us a couple of weeks before the wedding to chat in more detail about particular moments that we wanted to capture, and some logistical challenges that we'd need to overcome. On the big day he was perfect. Helping to coordinate and arrange people as needed, but fading into the background and becoming "invisible" when appropriate. We're absolutely thrilled with the final photos. He managed to capture some really special emotional moments, along with a great big dollop of our personality. We even had our portrait photos taken at the local Santa's grotto! Weird and wonderful yes, but very "us". I couldn't recommend John more highly!

Highly recommend, go the extra mile

I highly recommend John. He photographed our Wedding last August and did an excellent job, he likes to go the extra mile and generally gives you more than you expected (ours also included a engagement photo shoot). On our Wedding he even managed to bring an extra photographer along at no extra cost. He is very friendly and great at directing the kids and older members of your family, He creates nice bright clear photos and sends them to you quickly (we had ours after one month). he also sent us a few teaser photos with the first two weeks and a really nice slideshow. Great work John!

absolutely love the beautiful photos

Sam and me absolutely love the beautiful photos that John took on our special day! All of our guests have commented on how lovely our photos are and we couldn't be more pleased with them. John was really professional and he made us feel really comfortable on our engagement shoot and he knew the exact kind of photos that we wanted. We thought we were going to be very unlucky with the weather on the day but John was very organised and we managed to go out side during a dry few minutes and get all our photos done before the rain returned! I would recommend John to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! He was fantastic! Thank you so much John!

we were incredibly glad

John was the photographer for our wedding on the 18th July 2018. Having originally looked for two photographers, we were incredibly glad we didn't get them and found John. He captured every shot before we even asked, the pictures were stunning and he made himself fully available to us and our guests at the drop of a hat. We never even knew about half the moments he captured and we loved every one of them. To top it all off, he made sure we got every photo from the day whether they were in his edited collection or not so we had literally everything. The nicest guy you'll ever meet, fun and made us feel totally at ease. We could not thank you enough John. Truly grateful for your contribution to the best day of our lives. Laura and Emily xxx

We honestly cant thank him enough

Just over a week ago we got married and we were lucky enough to have John as our photographer. John was great and the photos we have seen so far are simply beautiful. We had such an amazing day and it is such a shame it goes so quickly, we are so happy that we have some stunning photos so we can re-live our special day! John went above and beyond, staying in the hotel the night before due to the heavy snow-fall the day before. We honestly cant thank him enough and couldn't recommend him more highly. Thank you very much for capturing our perfect day!
