Just wow. Rob, we are completely overwhelmed. We love each and every single one, you have captured our personalities perfectly and have completely surpassed all our expectations. We cannot thank you enough. We love love love them. We have had a lot of comments from people about how impressed they were with you, how hard you worked and how you just blended into the wedding as though you were a guest. We completely mirror these sentiments. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer!!!

The photos are stunning and will be cherished memories. Throughout the whole process you were an invaluable guide, sharing your experience and knowledge and we wouldn't have had the day we had without you! Thank you for being such an important part of our wedding day. Love, Simon and Lucy
