Incredible

Where do i start? Howard is an absolutely amazing photographer who was not only friendly and professional but without a doubt made our wedding day so perfect.

We had a consultation with Howard beforehand where he gave us the opportunity to tell him of any particular requests we had, including family member shots, additional things we had booked etc which he kept referring to on the day of the wedding to make sure everything we wanted was ticked off! - As well as his own ideas of shots that he thought would work well (the expert knows best trust me!)

The day came, Howard arrived and joined myself and the bridesmaids whilst his second photographer Yan went to join the groomsmen. All of the getting ready pictures were candid, relaxed - just as I had hoped for!

Howard captured the ceremony, the reception, the speeches, our first dance - with confetti cannons - perfectly! I honestly could not have wished for any one better to have captured our special day for us! We are so grateful!

The photos arrived in a beautiful album made by Howard himself, along with a gorgeous love heart USB stick of all the photos within a few weeks of the wedding - such a quick turnaround which is so rare!

If you are looking for a lovely and kind photographer - who is incredible at what he does - I would 10000% recommend Howard to anyone who asks!

Thank you so much again Howard - we are so grateful!

August wedding 2026

Howard was professional from start to finish! His communication from before up until the day of our wedding was excellent and he instantly knew what we required and our vision for the day. On the day Howard instantly put everyone at ease to the point we didn’t even realise he was there snapping away at times! He managed to capture those photos we requested as well as many candid shots, all of which were beautifully presented to us on a memory stick along with some special prints which we will cherish forever! Thank you so much for being part of our special day and helping us to create forever memories!

The best wedding photographer!!!

If I could give Howard 10,000+ stars, I absolutely would!

From the moment we booked Howard at Chins Images, right through to our wedding day, his communication and professionalism were incredible. He truly helped make our special day even more amazing. He was calm, reassuring, and always seemed to know exactly where to be and which shots would capture the most special moments.

My husband and I genuinely cannot thank Howard enough for the beautiful photos and memories he has given us. The attention to detail throughout the entire day was simply incredible, and we are so grateful that we now have these precious memories to keep forever.

We were also absolutely blown away by the beautiful photo album and matching USB stick. The fact that the album was even matched to our wedding colour was such a thoughtful and special touch — it's those little details that really make the whole experience feel so personal.

Howard captured moments we didn't even realise were happening, and the angles, lighting, and quality of his equipment were second to none. The photos are absolutely stunning!

What was even more amazing was how discreet Howard was throughout the day. So many members of our wedding party commented on how fantastic he was, yet you genuinely wouldn't know he was there at times because he captured everything so naturally and effortlessly.

Howard, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us the most beautiful photos and memories of one of the most important days of our lives. We will treasure them forever.

Please don't hesitate to book Howard from Chins Images — you honestly will not regret it! We couldn't recommend him highly enough!
Love from Mrs and Mr Bush and Ella of course ❤️

Amazing photographer - highly recommended!

Howard was absolutely fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. He was the first person we met when planning our wedding and after speaking to some other people it was only going to be Howard for us. He put us at ease through the whole process, was very communicative and always happy to offer advice. He had great ideas and knowledge of what makes a great photo and worked with us to make sure we were comfortable throughout. His natural photography style is exactly what we were after and he took incredible photos, they came out brilliantly, and gave us a great view of the day that as the couple we weren’t able to see on the day. We’ve had so many compliments on how great the photos are. Howard provided exceptional value for money. We couldn’t recommend Howard high enough!

Fabulous photos

Howard was great from the very first meeting up to the wedding day. He was quick to respond to our questions and came up with a bespoke package that we were happy with. The end results are lovely and we are very happy with all the photos. We would highly recommend Chin’s Images for your wedding photographer.

Amazing Photographer

Howard made all of us feel comfortable, which in the end captured alot of genuine smiles and memories to be held on to for a lifetime.
I loved the way he was able to capture moments that felt extra special, intimate and magical. Also the black and white edits of certain photos (chosen by him) were my absolute favourite! He included these photos into a book which were printed on to a specialised thick cardboard that made them feel/look extra professional. within this book also held a memory stick of all photos taken that day.
Also we had people involved who don't enjoy being photographed (bride and groom included) and yet he was able to capture the best photos ever!

A dream to have with us!

Howard was absolutely incredible. He was knowledgeable of the area for the best shots, and was wonderful with all of our guests to capture all the photos we hoped. He went above and beyond to make some special photos happen for us for which we are so incredibly grateful. The quality of the gallery we received is so high, we couldn't be more pleased. Thank you so so much!

Amazing experience

We originally thought that we did not want an official photographer at our wedding but are so happy that we decided to go ahead and found Howard. From start to finish he was responsive, approachable and listened to how we felt as neither myself or my husband feel comfortable posing for photos. On our special day he was amazing and it did not feel as if we were under any pressure to get the right shot. He fit in with our day with all of our guests feeding back how wonderful he was. He was so flexible when we confused the agreed times of the morning shots and happily worked around us to ensure he managed to capture all the little details. We have already received our photos and the beautiful box that he sent containing the memory stick is now on display at home. We are so grateful to have had our photos taken by him and thankful that he made the whole experience so effortless

What an amazing experience

He was with us from day break to the end party and he was professional and friendly the whole time. great mix of fly on the wall style photography (he knew where to be at all times) and staged shots where he made everyone feel comfortable. He took everything in his stride and always knew what he was doing. Photos came swiftly and he also has a keen eye for photoshop to fix anything. they came out amazingly and the little photopack delivered to us was awesome :) cant recommend him enough!

Highly recommend Howard

Howard was amazing from the outset, professional, personable and captured every moment of our special day! Howard was very flexible and worked with us to ensure we felt comfortable and our day went to plan. We didn’t even know Howard was there most of the day as he just blended in and took the most amazing natural photos. Thank you Howard if we ever need a photographer in the future we will be sure to reach out!

Lovely guy, such amazing photos.

Howard was such a lovely and professional man. He took such good spontaneous photos on the day and also worked with me with the photos I really wanted allowing me to give him a list of the ones I specifically wanted. He was definitely good value for money and definitely met my budget needs. I would definitely hire him again for another event in the future.

WOW!!! Highly recommend

What can I say, but a huge thank you.

We planned our wedding last minute, and photography is expensive but I found the offers from Chin Images allows you to get great pictures and a reasonable price. So a huge win for us.

Howard is very professional and easy going so made our day lots of fun with his style and manner. It was fun for us who aren’t great at posing. As we got amazing photos really carrying the essence of our big day and some great shots of all that was going on.


The team are great, as Howard was joined by Ethan which brought another angle to the mix. We would highly recommend working with them for your wedding. The gift box of our prints and usb came today in a lovely album box very fancy and will be cherished for years to come.

Thanks guys

Cool and collected

Howard was fantastic, he has a calmness about him which is what you need getting ready on your wedding morning. He coordinated the guests perfectly to get the perfect wedding photos and even sat and edited a few before he left in the evening so we had pictures to share before the end of the day.
