wedding photography testimonials

“Thanks for publishing the blog so quickly. We enjoyed looking through the photos and can’t wait to see more. They are fantastic! I’ve shared the link on Facebook so everyone can share them. Thanks so much for being a part of our wedding. We will be recommending you to our friends.”

Alveston Pastures Farm Wedding

“Paul was fantastic throughout the day. He was calm but assertive and well-liked by our friends and family. Paul was the only photographer we contacted to take our wedding photos – his photographs from previous weddings stood out for us, and we were happy to find someone who didn’t rely on lots of Photoshop. The images Paul created were a beautiful and realistic depiction of our day. We couldn’t be happier with the results.”

The Birmingham Botanical Gardens Wedding

“Thank you so much for the lovely preview of our wedding photos. They are wonderful and capture how the day felt to us!”

New Hall Hotel & Spa Wedding

“Many thanks for capturing our wedding so amazingly! We can’t wait to see the other pictures. Everyone we’ve shared your blog with has loved the ones you’ve taken. We feel lucky that we found someone who could document the day so well. We would be pleased to pass on our praise to anyone who may wish to speak to previous clients.”

Blists Hill Victorian Town Wedding

“Oh wow!! You have brought out the vivacity of colour zing and liveliness of the day! Some photos have made us cry, and some have made us laugh. We enjoyed the process, and you have quite the panther-like stealth. Some we weren’t even aware you were there! We can’t wait to see more photos. These are so wonderful that I might have to take breaks, and yet it is so addictive scrolling through. I didn’t want to get to the end.”

Warwick House Wedding

“They look beautiful and brought it all back for us! It’s lovely to see the lads getting ready (and our little boy). I have sent the link out to all of our families. We will be recommending you to all of our friends! So excited to see the rest.”

Hampton Manor Wedding

“We just wanted to say how much we appreciated your part in our wedding day. You were a part of the day without interfering or having any potential negative impacts a wedding photographer can have. We love the photos on your blog and are keen to see the rest of them.”

Hotel du Vin Wedding

“These photos are so incredible – thanks a million again! We can’t wait to see the rest and share them with everyone! We will be recommending you to all.”

Tally Ho Conference & Banqueting Centre Wedding

“The pictures look fantastic! Laura and I can’t thank you enough. You have captured our day amazingly. You’re a top professional and a top person.”

The Kingscote Barn Wedding

“Thank you for making the journey from Birmingham to capture our big day. We are so happy to have found someone who can make us feel so relaxed and capture all the special moments at our wedding. Thank you!”

Woodlands B&B Wedding

“Paul, thank you so much for your hard work at our wedding. We had a great day, and now great pictures to remember it by!”

Shustoke Village Hall Wedding

“You have captured our day brilliantly. We cannot wait to see the rest! You have created some beautiful images without anyone even knowing you were there. Our memories are still fresh, yet your amazing pictures have sparked the recollection of moments that had already been forgotten or missed. We cannot thank you enough.”

Fairlawns Hotel & Spa Wedding

“Thank you so much for photographing our wedding last week. You made Gavin and me feel at ease, especially as neither of us likes having our photo taken. It is fantastic that we have seen some images so quickly. They are amazing!!! I am glad we have some breathtaking photos to help us remember this day. Thanks again.”

Compton Verney Wedding

“Just a note to say we are pleased with the photos of our wedding in December. We feel that you have perfectly captured the atmosphere of the day. After our honeymoon, we finally found the time to sit down and look through them properly to choose some for our album. It was then that we realised just what a great job you did, as there was so much to choose from.”

Hadley Park House Hotel Wedding

“We can’t wait to see the rest! They are amazing!”

The School House Wedding

“We cannot tell you how happy we are with the amazing photos. Thank you so much for your hard work. Speak soon!”

Hatton Village Hall Wedding

“Hello, Paul! I hope this email finds you well! Helen and I just wanted to say thank you for photographing our wedding. You were brilliant, and we love the pictures you’ve put up on your website. Thanks again :)”

Stanbrook Abbey Wedding

“Your photos are beautiful!!! You were great on the day and captured it all so perfectly. Most of these photos we didn’t even notice you taking!”

Fazeley Studios Wedding

“We contacted Paul after an internet search, and right from our first conversation, he put us at ease. When he came to see us, we talked about our ideas. We knew we had chosen the right man. He got us immediately and chipped in with great ideas that matched ours. We now have our photos, and they are a great memento of a perfect day – many thanks, Paul.”

Llyn Gwynant Barns Wedding

“Thank you, Paul! These are amazing. You were so great on the day! We couldn’t have had anyone better!”

Highbury Hall Wedding

“We want to take this opportunity to thank you for capturing our special day in such a relaxed and informal manner. From my point of view, as someone who dislikes having their picture taken, I was hardly aware that you were there most of the time! You managed to catch some great shots. I am sure we will look at them fondly in years to come.”

Birmingham Registry Office Wedding

“You did a fantastic job. We absolutely love our pictures! Both the quality and composition are excellent. It was great to get a copy to share with friends and family. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anybody!”

Penns Hall Wedding

“We just wanted to thank you for the stunning job on our wedding day. The photos are beautiful. It was great to have so many to look at and print off as we wanted. The formal and candid mix of pictures worked well – we have spent hours looking at them. Many of our guests commented on what a great job you did. And how great they looked. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to family and friends.”

The Barns Hotel Wedding

“We couldn’t have been happier with the professional yet approachable wedding photography service that Paul provided us. He was unobtrusive, delivered brilliantly on our hope of capturing natural shots, and turned the photos around in excellent time. We would recommend Paul without hesitation.”

Dunchurch Park Hotel Wedding

“Just a note to say thank you for the wedding album. We can’t believe it’s been nearly four years. With us now having more grey hair, it really should give us a clue! The extra pictures were a pleasant surprise. We want to decide which one will make it above the mantelpiece. Thanks again, Paul, for all the work you did. Both on the day and for being flexible with putting the photos together. You’ve captured some very cherished memories.”

Wedding Photography Testimonial

“Our heartfelt thanks go to Paul and his team for the fantastic and poignant images he took on our wedding day. When we saw Paul’s photography online and at our meeting with him, we knew that our long search for the ideal photographer had ended. From start to finish, Paul was so professional. And despite not having visited our venue in the northeast before, he knew where the best photo opportunities would be. We cannot express how grateful we are to have such superb memories from our day that we can share with others and keep forever.”

Packington Moor Farm Wedding

“We just thought we’d drop a quick note to say the wedding album is fantastic. Thanks for your time on the day itself and for making the album. It is a brilliant record of the day and shows off great pictures beautifully.”
