Attentive, confident, skilled and disarming!

Chris was an absolutely fantastic photographer and one who took real care getting to know what we wanted for our wedding. He really got to the heart of the vibe and energy we wanted as well as took the time to nail down what were the key groups / sections of the day and any dynamics which are sometimes a bit tricky to navigate!

The images we received were the perfect balance of crafted and candid, and on the day we never felt that Chris was looming which I have seen with other weddings I have attended! He was gracious as an attendee, made everyone feel comfortable and got the best out of all the subjects he was capturing.

At times I didn’t even notice he was there until I saw the photos when they were delivered - it’s clear he was a ninja in a past life.

Not only did he capture our guests and family in the best way, but he was also skilled at capturing still life and environmental shots which meant a lot, as we took such pride in our venue and decor. He’s clearly very well versed in his craft and also briefed us on the best time of day to capture certain moments.

All in all I couldn’t recommend Chris more, he felt as much a guest as a vendor and we absolutely couldn't have asked for more.

Chris was absolutely amazing

Chris was absolutely amazing both on the day and the run up! Our photos are absolutely beautiful and we have had loads of compliments from family and friends. He captured all the little moments throughout including the drunk dancing! We didn't have the traditional 'going off for photos' which was exactly what we wanted we kept popping off with Chris for 10/15 mins throughout the day managed to get loads of pictures without feeling like we missed any part of the wedding day which was perfect and got photos in lots of different lights and with a rainbow! Thank you so much Chris!!

Top wedding photographer! 5*

We can’t fully put into words how amazing you have been from the start. From the first zoom call we had, we knew it had to be you. You were just so friendly and down to earth (and also live across the road from us which is a bonus!).

We are both quite shy about having our photos taken, so the engagement shoot we were initially quite nervous about. But it was such fun having a relaxed evening stroll around Holywell Bay at sunset and we were amazed by the beauty of the photos you captured. We loved them so much we used one as our guest book at the wedding for everyone to sign.

We also loved having a meet up before the wedding to chat through the day so you knew all the details and what was important. Despite the yellow weather warning for rain, you managed to clear the skies of hail and rain for the most stunning photos on the day. We can not wait for the full album to come back and see all the magical moments you have captured!

You also went above and beyond and kindly went round to our house on the morning of the wedding to collect a very important parcel that arrived late! It meant so much that Duncan could wear the hand made, personalised cufflinks and you made that happen!

Thanks for getting the best out of us and creating our forever memories! We would 100% recommend you as a wedding photographer!

Fun, professional and quality photographer

We knew from the outset that we wanted to work with Chris, and we were super pleased he was available when we enquired.

Throughout our wedding planning he was more than just our photographer, he was also someone who we could bounce ideas from to make sure we maximised our wedding day to get it absolutely perfect. He provided suggestions including other suppliers who he had worked with, which was a massive help, and was always punctual in responding to any communications.

Chris engaged with our guests, building a good rapport from the outset - many of which commented on how nice he was and easy to work with. His efficiency and coordination meant that we got all the styles of photos we wanted as well as maximising our time with our guests. Throughout our wedding day he improvised from start to finish, using his creativity to get those unique shots which captured our day in a variety of perspectives.

Having now got our photos back, we couldn’t be happier with the outcome, volume, diversity and quality of our wedding photos. We have a blend of traditional and candid shots which captured both the formalities and fun which our guests had.

We would have not hesitation in recommending Chris to anyone! Get him booked up before you become disappointed.

Out of this world photos and the perfect addition to your day!

From first zoom call to our pre-wedding shoot, to our wedding day and beyond, we could not recommend Chris enough.

We clicked so quickly and he made us both feel so at ease.
Our pre-wedding sunset shoot at Treyarnon Bay gave us the chance to get to know Chris before the big day and produced the most stunning photos and was so much fun.

Our actual wedding was at Polhawn fort on a boiling hot day. Chris turned up full of energy to a venue he had never been to before. Our wedding party immediately gelled with Chris as well and he commanded the room during our group shots when we needed it. The rest of the time he melted into the background. The photos from the ceremony and golden hour on the beach are our absolute faves. They look like something out of a magazine. Looking through our final gallery together, it tells the story and the emotion of the day perfectly and will be memories we will cherish forever! Thankyou!

I don’t know what else to say other than BOOK CHRIS!

Amazing photographer for our perfect Padstow wedding!

Chris was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer! He made us feel so relaxed the whole day and managed to capture every moment without us even noticing he was there. He was helpful at guiding us through the day, all our guests loved him (and his jokes), and he was great getting the kids to smile for the camera. The photos turned out better than we ever imagined—so natural and full of emotion. We’ll treasure them forever. We couldn’t recommend Chris enough!

The BEST Photographer.

From the minute we met Chris, originally on a virtual call due to us living in Kent, we knew Chris was the right man to capture our day. He was chatty, reassuring and just made our future wedding plans very personable. Chris listened to what we wanted our day to be captured like and understood the assignment. We arranged our engagement photoshoot where we met him face to face and he soon made us feel comfortable with his quick wit and calm nature. The most important thing for my Chris and I was knowing someone who would listen to us, understand what we wanted and also wasn’t too serious and made us feel comfortable, as we weren’t exactly the most savvy with being in front of the camera. Prior to the day, Chris arranged a quick call to go over everything which again, was so reassuring. On the day, Chris arrived prompt and set about to work capturing what I felt like was every minute. He worked effortlessly, seamlessly and still had time to have a great laugh with our guests making them too feel involved and comfortable. In fact, by the end of the day, it was just like he was apart of our guest list. Chris gave us some sneaky previews less than 24 hours after our big day. We were made up with them but now we have our final shots, we are ecstatic! If I could have my day again, I’d choose Chris a million times over. We are so happy with our end results. Thank you Chris. You really do have a talent and our words will never be enough to say how thankful we are for being you being present and capturing our special day. Thank you. Mr and Mrs Knott x

Perfect choice and lovely guy

Chris is absolutely fantastic, we can't recommend him enough. His photos are really beautiful, capturing not only all of the special moments of the day but the feel and atmosphere too - he's an artist. He is also lovely to deal with, communication was great throughout and he guided us expertly through the process while keeping everything relaxed. He was also a very reassuring presence when things went wrong on the day. We can't thank him enough.

Book Chris now!

When planning our wedding one of the most important thing to us was choosing the right person to photograph our big day and boy did we choose right!
After looking through many, Chris's photos really stood out to us with his style and how everyone looked so at ease in his photos. Everything on his website was so detailed that you really knew what you were getting from the word go.
We had a engagement/family photo shoot prior to the wedding which gave us the chance to meet Chris in person, break the ice amd get familiar in front of the camera which I thought was a brilliant idea considering we aren't the most photogenic! We were so pleased with the photos we couldn't wait for our wedding and we were not disappointed!
Chris fit right in with everyone, made everyone feel relaxed and he made sure to capture everything that we wanted. Communication with him was perfect which is exactly what you want when planning a wedding! We will recommend him to anyone! Everything was just amazing thank you so much Chris!

Beautiful Photos, Amazing Photographer

Chris photographed our Wedding at Polurrian Hotel in 2024, and he was brilliant! When looking back on our wedding day we wanted a collection of photos that were natural and relaxed, this is what exactly what we got, and more. The photos are beautiful, and as a couple we were able to see some candid moments of our guests that we did not see ourselves on the day.

Not only are the photos themselves stunning but Chris on the day was great, he was friendly and humorous, and made all of the wedding party feel at ease. He blended in well, and at moments we didn't realise he was there!

Communication in the run up to the wedding was great, and the engagement shoot made us a little less nervous of the camera!

We are so pleased that we booked with Chris, and would recommend to anyone looking for a photographer. Thanks again!!

Book chris

Stop what you are doing and book Chris for your wedding RIGHT NOW! Chris was amazing and my friends are family are STILL talking about him months after the wedding. He was so friendly, and really worked with us to capture the day. My husband and I are both not posed photo people and he was super respectful of that and didn't push for photos that we were't feeling up for. However, he did make sure to give us lots of opportunities to capture moments if we wanted (sunset etc). He truly felt like part of the wedding party and made us feel so comfortable. The drone shot he got of our ceremony is AMAZING. Honestly, if you aren't booking Chris you are missing out.

Awesome photographer

Chris did our wedding in November and he was fab. We are not people who love coupley photos but he made us feel at ease from the minute we met for our engagement shoot. We wanted natural, organic moments capture throughout our day and he did just that. Love all of the teaser photos, and I cannot wait to see the rest. Thank you again Chris. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic, would recommend

We had Chris as the photographer for our wedding at Brickhouse Vineyard in August. We don’t feel particular comfortable in front of a camera and were very nervous about having pictures on the day but Chris did an amazing job at making us feel comfortable and have fun throughout! We had an engagement shoot included prior to the day which was a lovely opportunity to get to know him and meant that Chris felt like one of our friends when it got to the wedding.

We absolutely love Chris’ style of photography and he got lots of amazing candid shots of friends and family which were special moments that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

We would definitely recommend Chris and love looking through all the photos of the day!

Incredible

We are so lucky we found Chris to capture our wedding day!

On the day, he made us feel comfortable and relaxed while also making us laugh - and he knew the area well, so he chose some stunning spots! He was able to turn our dream of wedding and adventure into reality.

The photos we got back were amazing, and they perfectly captured everything about our day. They have exceeded our expectations in every way - they are just magical and bring back so many emotions.

Our friends and family were blown away by how stunning the photos and videos were - worth every penny! Thank you so much Chris.

Wedding Photography

Chris provided an outstanding service to our Wedding Day, absolutely professional to the last minute and a friendly manner throughout, we could not recommend a better photographer to be used. The images and availability were smooth and incredibly user friendly, not to mention the quality of the photos was 10/10. I would have no second thoughts to look to book Chris again for any major events where a professional photographer is needed.
