Top recommendation from our wedding

We absolutely 100% are so happy we had Paul to capture our wedding day in August this year. Everything from the pre-planning discussions to the day itself through to the delivery of final photos with a beautifully presented USB stick and box, every step was just fantastic with him making it feel effortless. He was so friendly and fit in with all of our guests at the wedding and we had soooo much positive feedback on how great Paul was throughout the day. We and guests hardly noticed him taking photos throughout the day and the final photos turned out amazing too. We personally feel we got an absolute bargain for the service Paul delivered (he could most definitely charge more for what he does!) and he went above and beyond to make sure we had photos we would cherish for a lifetime. We are just sad that we won't be seeing Paul in the near future as truly feel he made our day even better by being a part of it :)

Exceptional pictures for our special day - Paul captured everything and everyone perfectly

Paul was amazing as our wedding photographer, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture our special day. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond - meeting us at the venue ahead of time to scope out the best spots for photos and making sure every detail, from lighting to positioning, was thought through. He took the time to really understand the types of pictures we wanted and made sure that every moment that mattered to us was beautifully captured. On the day, Paul’s warm and friendly presence put everyone at ease, and he had our guests laughing and organised in no time. It honestly felt like having a good friend there with us - just one who happens to take the most incredible photos! The pictures are everything we hoped for and more, and he even got them to us faster than we could have imagined. We’re so grateful for Paul and would trust him with any event we ever have in the future. He truly made our day even more special!

Consistently excellent!

We met Paul at a previous family wedding and he was fantastic (at both!) from start to finish. Paul travelled 2 hours North to cover our wedding, had great communication throughout and made us feel really at ease on the day. Guests even thought he was a friend due to how personable he was with everybody there!
The photos were fanstasic too - exactly what we asked for. We received a preview of some photos on the day and the rest were received within 2 weeks.
We couldn't have asked for a better person to photograph our big day. Thank you very much, Paul...we'll see you at the next family wedding!

Just perfect!!

We can't thank Paul enough for making our wedding day so special by capturing such amazing memories! He was incredibly professional, and both we and our guests were impressed by how friendly and unobtrusive he was while taking photos. Leading up to the big day, Paul’s communication was excellent, and he ensured all the shots we discussed were captured perfectly. The quality of his work is truly 5-star, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and professional photographer!

The perfect photographer

We booked Paul early in our planning journey and he did not disappoint at all. We had an engagement shoot with him, as well as video and photography for our full day and everything he delivered has been fantastic. I cannot recommend him enough. He’s super flexible to your requests, but also guides what he has seen work well from his previous experience. He’s also a genuinely nice guy.

We first met Paul at our friends wedding and was so impressed with him. So when we got engaged we knew exactly who we wanted. Luckily Paul was available for our day. We got all the shots we wanted and more as Paul is so accommodating and patient. He is such a lovely guy and made us and our guests feel so at ease and comfortable. We have some wonderful photos from our day. I don't think we could have had anyone better for the job.

Couldn’t recommend Paul enough

We had such an amazing experience with Paul, an absolute professional from start to end. On the day we had a private photo shoot before the reception and despite the weather not cooperating he managed to get some gorgeous shots and made some great suggestions on how to make the most of the moody atmosphere. He then helped us wrangle our guests to get the group shots, and then managed to capture the reception in a very candid way. A number of guests commented on how unobtrusive but friendly he was. He managed to get some brilliant moments. All the photos have been beautifully edited and were received in good time. We could not have been happier to have chosen Paul as our photographer, and will absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Absolutely amazing, we feel so lucky

Paul was amazing, he captured our day perfectly. I couldn't recommended him more. Even a couple of weeks after I'm still in awe at the photos, they are beautiful. He is such a a lovely guy and it was a pleasure to have him there on our day, he made everyone feel comfortable, triple checked everything before the day, went above and beyond and we're so thankful. If you're looking for a photographer don't hesitate, we've had so many comments from our guests about Paul along with the photos he created.

Charismatic photography

Paul is great at what he does. We booked him after seeing him in action at a friends wedding. He interacts with the wedding party extremely well and brings fun and laughter to his work. Most of the time I didn’t realise he was taking those intimate photos (I’m not too keen on having pics taken either) however we have been sent an array of lovely pics we can cherish forever. Thank you Paul!

Amazing Photographer

Paul was great, both before the wedding and on the day. He was able to adapt to all our requirements, the churches restrictions and any weather worries. He was really friendly putting us at ease through the day, and organising all our friends and family into the group shots. The photos came out amazingly and covered the whole of our day from getting ready to well into the evening dancing.
We couldnt have asked for a better photographer.
Thanks

Paul Heath Photographer

Paul was our wedding photographer on 4th October 2023 and words cannot express how happy we were with him. He was so caring, thoughtful and professional. He blended in with our guests and he captured the day perfectly. His service was fantastic and the quality of photo’s just perfect. We cannot thank him enough, it was a huge weight off our shoulders knowing we were in safe hands and our memories cherished. I would thoroughly recommend Paul to respect and depict the most important day in many lives. He sure did us proud!

Paul was fantastic

From the first enquiry through to capturing our day, Paul was exceptional! He made sure to get all the shots we wanted (and so many more). Everyone, including our guests felt totally at ease and comfortable. It was like having an extra friend at the wedding!
