Lisa & Ian

"I cannot begin to express how thrilled we are by your photography. You have managed to capture the essence of the day and the detail that can get so easily lost. Above all - you really captured people's characters. The day went by all too quickly - but the one thing that remains with us are our treasured photographs. We have shed a few tears pretty much every time we've looked over them.

Wedding photography is so important and I think you only truly realise how much afterwards. Thanks to your patience, humour and above all - discretion - you have given both us and our family one of the greatest gifts. So many of our guests commented on how great you were and how lovely it was to have someone who wasn't in your face or pushy - but kind, polite and a pleasure to be around! Thank you just doesn't seem enough."
Chris & Trish

"You were brilliant and so are your photos!
I meant to write before I saw the photos to say how much we all appreciated everything you did for the wedding. The way you handled the photos and the crowds with such calm efficiency was great. Several people have asked us "when were the photos taken?" which means that no-one felt they were waiting around too long at any stage. And you seemed to be so discreet - taking the photos without being too visible and obtrusive. Altogether a fantastic job. Added to which you made everyone feel so relaxed in the photos, which is a real skill too.

As for the photos themselves, they are fantastic! The quality is consistently excellent - a perfect mixture of well framed and composed formal photos with some really brilliant candid and informal shots. We can't wait for Emily and Josh to get back next week to go through them together and make our selection. It will be hard because we will want so many! Anyway, suffice to say that we are delighted with what you have done, thank you."
Ian F -father of the bride

"Thanks for the photos, we really love them. Of all the people that we know that have got married, I have never seen photos as good as the ones that you have taken at ours, we are so happy with them."
Ross & Rosie

"Thank you so much for the photos; they're fantastic! We're really impressed with the quality of your photography and with your discretion and professionalism on the day."
Stephen & Shialing

"The photos are really very good- thank you for taking so many brilliant shots of us and our guests.We had so many positive comments about you on the day- we recognise that you worked very hard and we really appreciated your calm and patient approach especially during the more formal shots! Looking through all of the photos will remind us of so many moments in what for us was the most wonderful day and we are very grateful for the way you have captured the events as they unfolded."

You were very patient and attentive, so calm and relaxed, nothing was too much trouble. We first checked out the photos on your website during our honeymoon and they were so fantastic we were blown away, it took us straight back to the day. I hope that this will be the effect every time we look at them in the years to come."

"Thanks for your e-mail—I have been meaning to get in touch. I wanted to say thank you again for the lovely wedding photos. We went home for the weekend recently so were able to pick them up. We were really pleased with them and it was great to have lots of choice and to have the details of the day captured so well. The website was really helpful thanks, and straightforward to use—definitely a good feature, especially as we weren’t able to pick up the prints straight away. Hope all's going well with you. Thanks again."
Gary & Jo

"Having carefully considered many photographers (both local and national) to cover our wedding, we chose John because we were struck by the style and quality of his portfolio and his professional approach. Having both had experience in photography professionally, meeting our needs was a tall order. In the event, John exceeded our expectations. Without exception he provided the shots that we requested, assembled guests for formal shots with grace and charm and respected our privacy for those parts of the day that we wanted to remain private. Above all John delivered a beautiful set of photographs of the people we love and the precious moments we may have otherwise missed."
Nick & Antonia

"We’re both extremely pleased with the way you captured our big day and the quality is superb. We love them. Thanks & best wishes."
Mark & Vicky

Peter & Gayle

"We just wanted to say a big thank you for our photographs, we really love them (and so does everybody else!)."
Scott & Hannah

"Just got back from honeymoon, had a wonderful time, and yes the weather was great! The photos are beautiful! Chris and I are absolutely thrilled with them. We can't believe how photogenic we all look - you're a genius! The percentage of black and white is perfect. We want to thank you so much. You were wonderful on the day, everybody on your table thought you were lovely! You were unobtrusive, friendly and efficient. On top of that the photos came out so well. We will be recommending you to anyone we meet! Best wishes and thanks again!"
Suzie & Chris

"Many thanks John. You did a fantastic job on the 21st and provided us with a fantastic portfolio of memories."
Mark & Karen

"We very much appreciated John's professional but calm approach. He took time to understand the timetable, and what we wanted from our photographs. The resulting photographs demonstrate that John was very much in the right place at the right time, but somehow unobtrusive as well ! The mix of more formal and candid shots captured both the essence and the finer details of the day perfectly. We would recommend John wholeheartedly."
Alex & Jackie
