We just wanted to say a massive thank you for our beautiful albums. We are so pleased with the album, it’s better than we ever imagined, and our parents were completely overwhelmed by theirs. We can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done. SO many thanks!

You photographed our wedding in September 2013, and the results were fabulous: a good blend of unposed (which we were hoping for!), posed (obligatory family shots), and some really clever sleight-of-hand pictures of us (now framed in our living room). Can't recommend you highly enough! Zoe Hopkins and Gordon (married in Dorset).
