RAVES, REVIEWS, AND London WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER RECOMMENDATIONS
Justine & Tommy
Photo by Lyndsey Goddard
Dear Lyndsey, As journalists, Tommy and I work with world class photographers on a daily basis. Yet it's not everyday we get back from a shoot to the joy of discovering that the photographer has captured moments and perspectives that we didn't even know were there, allowing us to tell a better story. Those are the good days...and you made our wedding the best day of all. Your photos are full of wonderful surprises, thoughtful moments, and beautiful compositions. Thank you for capturing our day in a way that goes hand in hand with our experience of it, and will forever illustrate our memories. Plus you were such a pleasure to work with! We couldn't be more thrilled, thank you. Thank you again, Justine
Ellie & Sam

Thanks Andy for our incredible wedding pictures, you captured all the details and moments of our day, we couldn't have asked for more. You were so easy and friendly on the day, which several of the wedding party commented on. We can't thank you enough and would certainly recommend you.
Katy & Steve
Photo by Kate Hampson
Darling Kate, Your warm personality and comforting smiley face put me at ease straight away. You oozed confidence and were very supportive in what results we were looking to achieve. Your totally chilled attitude relieved any anxieties that I had. As this was the only time I needed a photographer, I didn't know what to expect. I wondered what you would look out for on the day and how you would know to capture all those important, natural photos. For your own wedding, you want it to be perfect and for your photos to tell a story. You had planned sunset photos and surprised us with locations that you had researched that we had never thought of. You just knew exactly where to be to capture all those special moments. You made us feel completely relaxed and I hardly knew you were there. When the photos came though, we were completely blown away with the level of detail and how natural the photos were. You had even taken the time to capture photos of Italian life in the town of Sorrento which was a lovely surprise and added to our already wonderful memories. You are the most likeable, warm, funny and cool person I'll ever meet and you brighten up any room! The little tips you gave us on our wedding day for the best looks have stayed with me. The wedding photos told a beautiful story of the day from start to finish and this is something that will stay with us forever.
