Our Engagement Shoot

Will was absolutely incredible before during and after our engagement shoot!
We spoke to Will about the kinds of places we wanted to go for our engagement shoot and Will definitely delivered. We had our shoot in the Wyre Forest which we absolutely love and Will spent the time getting to know us and hear our story (my partner gets very anxious in these kinds of situations) and Will made us both feel very relaxed and comfortable and just chatted throughout, it was so much fun!
Will has kept us updated with when we can receive our photos and we’ve had them back this morning and we couldn’t be happier.
The photos are stunning and we are definitely going to be hanging them in our home.
We are so happy with everything Will has done for us and we can’t wait for you to capture our special day next year!

Thank you so much Will!

Will is simply amazing 💓

Had will as my photographer for my wedding, what a fantastic experience we had, he arrived on time was very polite and made everyone around him happy and relaxed, he was really good with the children also and made everyone laugh when taking photos 📸 he approached us when he needed and didn't just follow us around he went round my guests and walked around the venue taking pictures I no there will be some pictures that will give me great memories of the day
Will was extremely professional and knows how to take great photos I haven't had my photos back yet just a few but I wanted to review him with 5 stars regardless as I know they will be amazing. Will was so good literally all my guests were saying how lovely he was one has even asked to book him for her wedding and 1 who isn't even engaged yet has said she will hire him for hers if she ever gets asked the question 🤣 thank you will for being part of our day and making it such a good experience for us ❤️ would recommend him as a photographer to anyone and will use him again for any future photographs I may need

Amazing photographer 🩷

Will photographed our special wedding day, recommend by our friends. Will was amazing start to finish. He made you feel at ease, he was friendly, professional, funny and he is AMAZING at what he does. All our friends and family commented how nice he was on our day saying they have never met a lovely photographer. After the wedding, will kept us updated with our pictures, he sent us a sneak peek and then we received them all. The photos we received was more than we could of ever asked for, he pictured all the little details which we will be forever grateful for. Would highly recommend Will for your photographer. We will definitely be using Will in the future. We can't thank you enough for all your hard work. Thank you again. Love Charlie & Ant x

Rach and Tom’s wedding

Highly recommend Will! We were delighted with our wedding photos. He really did capture the day so perfectly. He also made all our guests feel so comfortable. Everything felt very natural and none of the photos felt forced. The end result was exactly what we wanted.

The best in the business!

We were lucky enough to secure Will as our wedding photographer in May this year. Having already met with several photographers, we felt immediately in safe hands with Will. He understood “us” and the assignment and captured our day perfectly. Will wasn’t intrusive yet managed to capture all aspects of our special day, including some incredible candid shots!. Will is such good fun and engaged with all of our wedding party brilliantly, everybody commented on how wonderful he was with them, including the children in attendance, yet he really did just blend into the background during those special moments. Will captured over 800 incredible shots making it an impossible task to choose the album pics! Will was an integral part of making our day so special, we cannot thank him enough! Highly recommend!

Beautiful, professional service with a kind heart too!

I can’t thank Will enough for the day.

Everyone said how great he was (without even being prompted!) and the kids adored Will! He made it so easy!

I loved having my little spy to show me the moments I missed!

The photos really did capture the people and the day, down to the smallest details that we'd poured our efforts into!

Thanks to Will for the beautiful memory prompts that will last forever. I would whole heartedly recommend him to anybody who needs an exquisite service. ❤️

Would definitely recommend Will!


Will photographed our daughter’s wedding in June 2022. He was amazing!! He travelled to Aberystwyth which meant a very early start for him and from the moment he arrived he put us at ease.



Will never stopped taking pictures all day and went above and beyond to capture lots of candid moments. We can't recommend Will enough! We would not hesitate to use his services again in the future.



Thank you Will for allowing us to relax and leave capturing this special day in your capable hands!! Also thank you for the loan of the belt, which may have saved an embarrassing moment 🤣

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
