Thank You!

Thank you Carmen for the incredible photographs on our wedding day and the drone footage of our wedding carriage is amazing. You have given us timeless memories that we will be able to enjoy for many years to come. Best wishes, Alan and Sarah.

Great experience!

We booked Carmen without hesitation after seeing her work and a phonecall to discuss our wants and needs for the day. She arrived early and captured our day beautifully. We have some amazing photographs to treasure for ever! I only wish I had asked for more video content of the day as we didn’t get the speeches captured, but we didn’t request that.

Great photos and genuine service

We asked Carmen for documentary style photos for our wedding. We wanted informal pictures that captured the day without guests or us really being aware. Carmen went above and beyond to achieve this for us. She devoted the day to us and guests felt comfortable with her. We were given a great selection of photographs and it was obvious that Carmen really cared about the results and ensuring that we were pleased with them. We would recommend Carmen to others.

Wonderful package

Carmen spent all day with us and captured some lovely images. We couldn't have wanted a better record of our special day. One photo got printed in the Hull Daily Mail which we were highly delighted with.

Mrs Cheryl Stipetic

Carmen Falkenburg delivered an outstanding service on our wedding day. We were more than happy with the lovely photos taken by Carmen. The Italian photo book was to a high standard and was excellent print quality. Many of my guests commented on how polite Carmen was through out the day. Both my husband and I would highly recommend Carmen Fakenburg photography.

Most wonderful wedding photographer ever!

Wow! And double wow! Kirsten and I were stunned, gobsmacked and staggered beyond belief at the extraordinary photo album you've produced for us – and which Linda delivered with her usual style and panache on Friday evening! Truly we were rendered speechless by these beautiful photos; the colours are awesome, the lighting to die for, and you're so creative in your compositions, we could hardly believe what we were seeing! They were absolutely stunning! The amazing photographs brought back so many memories of that incredible weekend, of our wedding (how lucky that we have this spectacular record of events, just as we celebrate our first anniversary together) – from the cut of the bridesmaids' dresses to the fun of running across the lawn together, and of course the sensational photoshoot of Wedding Eve. Well done to Carmen to get us into all those poses – veil and no veil! – and providing us with an experience not to be missed! Cannot recommend Carmen enough, she is the most wonderful wedding photographer ever!

Very Impressive

I met Carmen completely by chance while I was taking snaps in the local countryside and was immediately taken by her easy-going, friendly demeanour. She was a joy to talk to and she shared some of her photographic experiences with me. A little while later I was looking for a change of career and my decision required that I provide a small portfolio of high quality head (and body) shots. Being quite new to the area and not knowing any other local photographers, I contacted Carmen. I explained what I was looking for and we arranged a studio session. I had anticipated that perhaps the session might be over in 15 minutes, but Carmen is very meticulous, methodical and with a superb eye for detail. She took time to put me completely at ease with what for many people can be a difficult situation. Her sensitive direction was faultless and the session just flowed quite naturally. We took a coffee break and two hours (and a number of costume changes) later, and we were done. The finished product was amazing. She was able to bring out so much character in the shots that I was supremely confident in submitting my portfolio. A great experience, great value and a great result. Thank you, Carmen.

Wow!

Wow Carmen, how can we ever thank you for such beautiful photos! Well, Christian and I are finding it very hard to do any work today - we just keep coming back to your stunning photos, to look through them again and again and choose even more highlights! Every single photo brings back a special memory, and we're especially totally delighted that all the romantic photos came out so well, with both of us looking easily identifiable – and of course the incredible swans! There were several that we didn't even know you'd even taken though they were all absolutely amazing – Christian was completely unaware of some of the bridal suite photos, and thinks Kirsten deliberately didn't tell him about them for the surprise! Also, so many shots of us signing the register, and of both of us on her own – my favourite shot changes every couple of minutes! Carmen, thank you so much for being our photographer, your photos will make our memories last forever! x x x
