  Ray provided a brilliant service from our initial query all the way through to receiving our photos. He was super organised and made the whole process simple to follow. On the day of the wedding he was a huge help, ensuring that we kept on schedule. He took some stress out of the day so we could enjoy ourselves, and always had a good sense of humour. He was also a dab hand at sorting our guests' corsages! We are so happy with our photos and the amazing service we received. The additional items (a photo canvas and hardback photo albums) are also great quality. We would 100% recommend Ray to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

  Ray was more perfect than we could have imagined! He became my 6th bridesmaid, helped me with my dress, ran around helping prepare for the day and rallying the important people. The photos are perfect and a piece of our day which we can treasure forever! Our album is perfect and filled with the most beautiful images of what turned out to be a perfect day Thank you so much Ray for going above and beyond our expectations to make our day the best ever x Mr & Mrs Dacre 8th June 2022

  Finding a photographer for our wedding was quite difficult because they all had lot to offer. After narrowing it down to around 3 and speaking to them and looking at their packages and portfolio. We had no doubts we were choosing Ray to capture our wedding. From the first point of call he was friendly, professional and approachable. He answered all our questions and was very quick at responding back to us. Through the whole process from booking him, to the lead up to the wedding he kept in contact with us and we had consultations to make sure that on the day went perfect. And by far it did thank you to Ray! He was so friendly with our guests and made everyone feel a part of the wedding. The photos are absolutely perfect I'm so glad we chose Ray. Our package includes photo album, memory stick and large canvas. It's absolutely beautiful exceeded our expectations. We will 100% recommend using Ray. He's so easy to get a long with and I feel on your wedding day you want to be able to get a long with your photographer. He was like a bridesmaid, he made sure everything ran smooth on the day from making sure my dress looked good on photos to even sorting out guests button holes! We will be using Ray in the future for upcoming important events. Me and Dominic can't thank you enough Ray. Keep up your hard work you're amazing!!!

  When looking for our wedding photographer, we had a recommendation from our friends who were getting married. When meeting Ray at our first meeting we knew he was who we wanted to shoot our big day for us. After having to postpone a couple of times due to COVID Ray was able to accommodate all of our needs and myself and my husband are quite an easy going couple and was happy for Ray to go with the flow of the day. On the day he was fantastic, my husband had been in an accident the early morning of our wedding which meant that we postponed the evening reception until he was able to enjoy it with everyone. Ray was so accommodating to come back and take photos at the evening reception. Everybody at the wedding and evening reception commented on how good Ray was. Having Ray as our photographer was a breeze and you didn't even know he was there half of the time he just got on with it taking action shots. Even after the event Ray kept intouch and was helpful when it came to choosing our photos for our album letting us know that because we had picked extra photos we could either pay the extra for the extra pages or we could reduce the amount of photos and not just charging us. At the beginning we had chosen our package and had agreed, on our final meeting before the wedding we were able to change our x2 3 photo parents albums to x2 smaller canvases which worked out better for us with the family dynamics. We also sent Ray a gift for everything that he had done on our wedding day and for being understanding. Once he had received it he was so thankful and emotional as he didn't expect if after the hard time that we had had on our special day and phoned me to thank us. We would recommend Ray to everybody that we can as he made our day as breezy as he could considering the circumstances and then out evening reception. Thank you Ray

  Best photographer ever and everyone at the wedding agreed. I found Ray online and thought the packages to be very reasonable and all the reviews positive. I contacted him and arrange to meet him. Myself amd my partner liked him straight away he was a great guy with no pressure. I loved the fact he does his own prints and canvas and most of all that we would have a beautiful album not just a USB. We like many had our wedding delayed due to covid and Ray contacted me the very day everything changed the only supplier to do this we spoke through dates and reserved a couple I liked while changing everything else. Amazing. On the lead up to the wedding we had contact about our needs, wants and a questionnaire for Ray to get an idea of us as a couple and what was important to us. The day Ray was at the Chrich ready to take photos of my Husband, guests and my arrival we had the usual staged photos which Ray had asked me for but most of all with Ray are the photos that he gets and sees that others may not getting the beautiful church structure in photos stunning, the relaxed photos that showed how happy people were for us and having a great time. Ray even went on the roof to get the amazing aerial photo of us and our guests, we had photos of the room a few black and white which were beautiful and a change to others. In the package too as getting married later we had photos of our guests on the evening having a great time too, all these little things that felt he captured the whole day. After the wedding Ray soon sent us our photos to pick for our album we had extra pages as couldn't cut down any further. The quality and size of the album was better then I imagined also the canvas and triple print was beautiful. I also lived the fact on the USB we had all photos taken and Ray had done a slide show on this of our and his favourites for us so thoughtful. Ray you did us proud and so glad we chose you and will recommend you to anyone. All the best in the future I'm sure I will be getting prints and canvas' in the next few years.

  Ray was really great in that I contacted him 2 days before I needed the portrait service and he fitted me in. Having completed the service he provided me with my digital copies of my photos within 2 hours of completion and reduced the cost of my appointment because I changed what I wanted and didn't want any hard copies. I was very grateful for his help and I am sure anyone using his services will be well satisfied.

  We originally booked Ray for our Wedding in 2019... 2 date changes later and we finally got our special day and wow. Ray was amazing... not only a photographer but fantastic at organising myself and the wedding party, was brilliant at providing moral support for us all during the nervous parts and captured all the magical parts of our day. We asked for two photographers and Jo came along to assist... she was just fantastic too and I know she got all the groomsmen laughing away during their morning prep. From start to finish nothing seemed too much trouble for Ray, being so accommodating with the date changes and receiving our images so soon after the day. We have recently received our albums and they've brought tears to everyones eyes. Just magical. Thank you Ray from the bottom of our hearts

  Ray was fab from start to finish on our wedding day! He captured so many beautiful and natural shots, and was so lovely to work with. From the first meeting to receiving our finished album, everything went smoothly and he kept in contact all the time. We couldn't thank ray enough for capturing the best day of our lives and we would definitely recommend him for a wedding! We will be sure to use ray again in the future!

  Ray was friendly and made us feel really relaxed at our wedding even though I don't enjoy being photographed! He was really helpful, good at communicating and did some quirky special edits for us. Really fair price and professional service and super photos! We can barely tell from our wedding album that our wedding had quite a few awkward/socially distanced moments (due to taking place in between lockdowns) as Ray took so many lovely natural photos. Would definitely use Ray again to photograph future parties/events.
