  I would 100% recommend to everyone! Paul got all the classic shots everyone wants to have, kiss at the end of the alter, under the umbrella for example. The wedding albums are the most beautiful albums I've ever seen! We went for a big one with an acrylic cover which is so stunning and classy. Plus, we got 2 parent albums that made amazing Christmas presents. Also, we got married during coronavirus madness but Paul made everything cool, communicating with us whether we wanted to swap or anything, thankfully we didnt have to in the end and he even managed to fit in our pre-wedding shoot, which was amazing because it meant on the day my husband was comfortable in front of the camera.

  Paul was great with us from the get go. Always professional, friendly and very thorough. We were impressed from the start, when he first came to our house with a large portfolio of his work, and continued to be with his good eye and support while we were waiting to find a way to get legally married under the lockdown. He was such a big part of making the day perfect for us, and has given us brilliant photos and memories for the rest of our lives. Highly recommended!

  Paul photographed our wedding in March and we were very happy with the photos we got back. He was very easy to have around on the day and getting the right shots even when me and my husband are not comfortable in front of the camera. We had the edited images back quickly and communication throughout was quick. Would definitely recommend.

  From the moment we met Paul at an open evening at Wynyard Golf Club we knew he was the man for the job. Paul is a consummate professional and highly passionate about his job. His sound advice and relaxed style made us feel immediately comfortable in his presence and the quality of the pre-wedding shoot photographs left us excited to see the images of our big day. On the day itself, Paul took hundreds of the highest quality photographs, capturing both “staged” and natural moments, and took time to take requests from our guests for shots that they wanted to. Everyone commented on how approachable he was and have been impressed with the finished product. We absolutely love our digital photographs and our leather-bound photo album which have given us memories we will treasure forever. We cannot thank Paul enough for all of his hard work and efforts and would highly recommend him as a wedding photographer to anyone! Thank you Paul!

  We knew of Paul from weddings we had been guests at, and he came highly recommended from those couples. He more that lived up to expectations for our wedding. He is not only skilled at what he does but very enthusiastic and passionate about getting the best photographs possible. We were so glad he was available for our wedding as it takes so much pressure off knowing that the capturing of our big day was in his capable hands. He genuinely cares and it shows from initial consultation all the way to delivery of the album. We can’t recommend him highly enough.

  Can’t recommend Paul enough, he captured our wedding day on June 2019 to perfection. Pre wedding he was the one of our suppliers I didn’t have to think about - prompt, clear, flexible, communicative and authoritative. He helped us navigate the many options and even came to our local area for our pre engagement shoot. On the day (one of the hottest of the year) he was relentless, patient and discrete, pushing us to remember to commit to our photo plan when it’s easy to let everything else get in the way. Post wedding he sent us a handful of shots in a couple of days which made for a very happy honeymoon, then within a few weeks all photos and a draft album. The pictures were absolutely beautiful, shots we didn’t expect and the result is an album we are over the moon with. Paul has given us the most beautiful capture of memories from one of the best days of our lives.

  Paul photographed our wedding back in April and I couldn't have hired a better photographer. He blended in soo well, you didn't even notice him there taking pictures! We had all of our pictures back and our album within 6 weeks. Everyone has commented how good the photos were. My husband isn't one for his photo taken but Paul put us both at ease. Thank you for giving us such brilliant photos to look back on. Very highly recommended.

  "We found Paul to be very professional and easy to work with in the build up to the wedding. On the day, he did a fantastic job, got on with everyone really well and provided us with a collection of photos we were delighted with the day after the wedding. He's clearly terrific at what he does and we would have no hesitation in recommending him. Thanks for your help with the best day of our lives." Helen and Jamie (27/07/2019)

  We chose Paul to capture our wedding day and we have been left with a magnificent photo album that we will forever cherish. Paul was clear with us from the start on what services he could offer and for what prices with no hidden costs, we chose the champagne package and we can honestly say it was the best money we spent on the whole wedding! Paul had some great ideas to make our album unique and personal to us and was creative with the images to give us pictures we didn’t imagine possible. Paul showed us images and albums he had made from the same venue at the same time of year to give us a feel of what our album could look like. Paul has a warming personality and fit into our wedding day at ease and we genuinely hardly felt like our wedding was been photographed at all, a number of our guests commented on how easy the group shots had taken place as it was totally stress free despite a number of people changes to our list of group pictures and high volume of bridesmaids and family members. The couple shots we had were also fun and relaxing and hardly took any time at all so we were back with our guests in no time. We told Paul a number of things we wanted out of the day and he also recommended an order in which to do things making decisions easy to make. Paul had our online images just a week after our wedding and even had a proof album shortly after. We got married at the end of October and we’re able to order parent albums and our own album in time for Christmas. Changes are easy to make on proof albums making sure you have exactly what you want and your favourite images in your album. We would defenitly recommend paul to anyone looking for a wedding photographer and you will not be disappointed! Thank you Paul, Rachel & Matt :)
