Fantastic Photographers
One Thousand Words have been amazing, from start to finish. With a friendly and very professional approach, they have delivered an epic set of photos which beautifully captures the vibe and atmosphere of our wedding. We One Thousand Percent reccommend them.
From the moment we met Tom at a wedding fair and saw the documentary-like approach and beautifully artistic style, we knew we had found our photographers. They way they play with light was very compelling. Our engagement shoot was a great and relaxed experience, generating some amazing photos. Tom made us feel very comfortable behind the lense and gave us a great idea of what to expect on the big day.
On the Wedding day itself, Tom and Murray were excellent. Like silent camera-ninjas they did a fantastic job of being everywhere and nowhere at once, but always there when they needed to be, to capture so many genuine moments of joy throughout the day. Their relaxed and story-like approache worked perfectly with the relaxed vibe of our day and they both were great to chat to which made the whole process great fun and flowed so smoothly. Its almost a shame they had to work that day and couldnt have just joined in with our guests, as they fit right in.
Choose One Thousand Words and you will not be disappointed.

These guys are incredible!
Incredible is the best way to describe these guys. Me and my husband hate photos, we are not photogenic and having our photos taken was actually one of the things we were dreading the most. The way these 2 work together, making you feel at ease, no pressure, taking photos that most of the time we didn't know they'd taken. They're professional, kind, amazing at what they do, and they became part of our wedding party. The guests raved about how much they loved them. And just look at the stunning photos.
Not only that, they sent us a beautiful, engraved presentation box after our wedding with a USB stick and small photo book, such a lovely touch.
Anyone wanting to get married, pick these guys to be your photographers, they are so worth it.

Love these guys - fab guys who are amazing photographers
I cannot recommend these guys enough! Not only do they capture such gorgeous photos to immortalise memories from your special day, they are just the loveliest people. They were so helpful right from when we first enquired, through booking, crack of dawn engagement shoots and through the wedding and even after when finalising our gallery. Many guests at our wedding even commented specifically on how fab our photographers were 😁 Honestly I would give more stars if it would let me!

I first met Tom at a wedding fayre and immediately loved their pictures and Toms personality, before even booking our wedding date I knew i wanted to book them as our photographers and they didn't disappoint. After we had booked our wedding date and arranged an engagement shoot with them, Tom put us at ease and the shoot really helped prepare us for the wedding day. The engagement shoot pics were amazing and this made us even more excited for the wedding day. On our wedding day Tom and Murray were so professional and friendly, they blended in with everyone and they worked tirelessly throughout the whole day. We have recently received our wedding day photographs and are blown away by the photos. They captured every moment and we couldn't have asked for better photographers to capture our special day. So many of our guests commented on how great Tom and Murray were and I can't wait to share our photos with friends and family. Shout out to any future couples getting married, book one thousand words, you won't be disappointed!

The best photographers for your wedding day
I cannot emphasise enough how fantastic Tom and Murray were in capturing our wedding day. From the first day we met them through to completion of our wedding album, we were so chuffed with everything they did for us. We booked them before covid and our wedding was sadly postponed several times due to the pandemic, but they were so accommodating and helpful throughout. It was so important to us to have photographers that made us feel comfortable as they would be with us for almost the entire day and they did just that. Two genuinely lovely gents that felt like friends by the end. Having two photographers made such a difference as we were able to capture the most memorable shots from several angles without even knowing where they were half the time! And it meant that both bride and groom got some great shots during the morning prep. I would highly recommend you book one thousand words photography for your wedding. We will always be grateful for their ability to capture the classic shots whilst throwing in a bit of humour along the way.

Mrs Harrison
Tom and Murray are just wonderful. I am a human who absolutely hates attention and photos being taken of me and Tom was just excellent at grinding me down (in a good way) and making me feel comfortable. They were like extra guests at the wedding and everyone commented on how amazing and lovely they were to be around. I barely noticed they were there and they put up with a lot of awkwardness from me! If you’re after relaxed, not over posed and photographers that feel like your friends, Tom and Murray are for you!

A wonderful celebration of our wedding
Absolutely outstanding service. Very friendly and funny photographers that all of our guests loved.
Tom organised our payments into manageable chunks, communicated with us regularly about ideas and engagement shoots etc. Tom and Murray were also incredibly accommodating to everything we asked - even our huge list of family photos.
They were great fun on the day and the perfect balance of blending into the background and fitting in with our guests.
The photos are outstanding and make me smile every time I look at them.
Tom and Murray, sincerely, thank you.

I couldn't have asked for better
We had Tom and Murray photographing our wedding day and they made the whole experience perfect, I didn't notice them taking photos which made the photos even better, the photos were amazing. I felt so at ease with them about. All our guests said how amazing they were and that they made them all smile, the children kept going up to Tom and Murray asking them to take their photo and they not only obliged but made sure they were having a great time. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a photographer.

Couldn't ask for more!
Tom & Murray did an outstanding job of capturing our special day.
Leading up to the wedding the guys were really good at communication, we had to delay twice (thanks Covid) but the guys were great with the rearrangements, and afterwards kept us up to date on when we'd receive sneak peaks and final photos.
They were an absolute delight on the day, Tom was promoted to honorary bridesmaid as he was on hand to help out with flowers and hair and definitely "one of the girls".
We trusted them 100% on the day, and were totally open to their suggestions and we have been rewarded with the most amazing photos. We have so many that are our "favourite" we really are spoilt for choice.

Wedding Photography Perfection
Where do I start. I had the pleasure of meeting Tom and Murray at my best friends wedding in June 2017. I loved the way they felt part of the wedding party, and the quality of the photographs they produced for my best friends wedding were exceptional. I got engaged in May 2018 and had no doubt that I wanted to use One Thousand Words for our wedding. We were initially planning to get married in May 2020, then November 2020 and due to Covid both weddings were cancelled. Tom and Murray could not have been more supportive during this really difficult time - I knew I'd made the right decision in choosing them as our wedding photographers - but they are both so much for than photographers. Our wedding finally took place in November 2021 and our photographs are just stunning. It's hard to find the words to describe how great they are. They have such a great approach in how they engage and interact with people, they feel like part of the family. This is not your standard , you stand here or there. They capture feelings. They capture personalities and on showing my photos to friends and family they have said they can feel the joy and happiness in the photos coming through. And they are so funny! Everyone at our wedding commented on how professional and friendly they were and that they were a huge part of the wedding. Don't look any further. Everything you need in a wedding photographer is right here.
