Book Paul NOW!!!

If you're searching for the perfect wedding photographer, look no further than Paul.
Paul was communicative and put us at ease right from the word go. He fit into the day as if he was another guest/part of the background, without being obtrusive or demanding. Paul made us laugh and feel really relaxed and it's safe to say that he really helped make the wedding day as special as it was. All our guests commented on how professional, kind, warm and funny Paul was and complimented us on our choice of photographer. Paul was both photographer and videographer, a difficult task that he carried out with zero fuss and incredible results. It never felt like Paul was 'on the clock', he just seamlessly captured the entire day and stayed well into the evening. In this day and age of trying to make as much money as possible for as little work as possible, Paul is a hardworking and dedicated breath of fresh air, with seriously competitive prices.
All the pictures and the video were utterly sensational, and we have looked back on the day time and time again using Paul's materials. Paul provided us with first look photos on the day, and then had our entire wedding album waiting for us on the day we landed back from honeymoon. I genuinely and sincerely could not recommend Paul enough if you're looking for your wedding photographer and videographer.

Best photographer ever?!

Paul! Where do we even begin? We were truly blessed to have found Paul at out best friends wedding and we knew then we wanted one person only to be our photographer. Communication? Amazing! Photos? Absolutely beautiful! Vibes? Definitely brought! We have had so many comments about not only how professional Paul is but also how friendly he is and how fun he is to be around, it was like Paul was another one of our guest as he makes you feel so comfortable around moments and having your photos taken. We had some first looks at the photos the next day, with the online album within two weeks. Our USB arrived shortly after this! Our photo album is beautifully printed and prepared and everything we could wish for, and it will be cherished for the rest of our lives. Paul worked well with us to ensure the photos/moments we wanted were captured even if that meant rounding up every single wedding guest after a drink! Nothing was so much for Paul and he was always happy to go above and beyond.
Paul, thank you again for capturing our day perfectly.
Love Paige & James Tomlinson

Absolutely amazing photographer

Paul was absolutely amazing!! On the day he made us feel at ease and actually made taking photos fun which considering neither of us like our photo taken was no easy task. The photos themselves turned out perfect and I've printed so many as it was so hard to choose!! He helped make our day perfect and we had such a good joke and a laugh throughout the day. 100% would recommend to anyone, in fact I think Paul gained at least a couple of clients from our day.

The best photographer!

We cannot say enough amazing things about our experience with Paul. From the moment we first met, Paul brought such warmth, professionalism, and creativity to the process. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, Paul made everyone feel completely comfortable and captured every moment so naturally—nothing felt forced.

The photos turned out beyond anything we imagined. Communication was seamless, turnaround time was quick, and the final images were delivered with so much care. We are truly grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what they do, we highly recommend Paul. He made our wedding unforgettable, and we couldn’t be happier.

We were so lucky to be able to book Paul!

Paul was incredible even from our first meeting. He was responsive with communication and was patient and informative with the many questions we had about what to expect from him on the day. We had challenging weather conditions on the day but Paul still managed to provide us with beautiful photos, even taking advantage of the sudden appearance of rainbows over Salisbury Cathedral later in the afternoon!

Everyone loved Paul and commented on how professional but personable he was and how at ease he made everyone feel. We would recommend Paul to anyone who wants an amazing photographer who will capture the feel of your special day and provide you with everlasting photos that take you right back to the moment every time you look at them. We are not sure how he did it, but Paul captured the overwhelming feeling of love on the day. Thank you so much Paul.

Paul went above and beyond for our wedding!

We had Paul Heath as our photographer for our wedding at The Red Lion in Salisbury, and he was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Paul was friendly, professional, and made us both feel completely at ease throughout the day.

He even walked with us from The Red Lion to Salisbury Cathedral, capturing some incredible photos along the way, they turned out beautifully !

We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Thank you, Paul, for helping us capture memories we’ll cherish forever!

Rhian & Marks Wedding August 25

Paul was brilliant from the first time we met him. He was professional and friendly and easy to get along with. At our meeting we discussed all the photos and locations we wanted them so we had a rough plan for the day.

Wedding day. He made us feel relaxed and coped well with a bride and groom who don't overly like photos. He fit into our day perfectly and felt like another guest. Our guests all commented on how good he was, he didn't stop all day. Nothing was too much trouble. I had had the idea of a sparkler photo with writing and mentioned this at the initial meeting he said it wasn't something he had done before, but was happy to give it a go. None of us could have hoped for it to turn out better than it did it was perfect. Thank you.

He told us the turn around time for the photos and video and we were surprised with how quick and would have understood had it have been longer but we had the photos and video a day sooner than he had initially said.

When we received the photos we were blown away with how good they were. We had seen a few sneek peaks on the day during the meal but the final photos were even better if that is possible. A few days later we received the video... WOW its the perfect way to remember our special day and we are so glad we have it.

We have already told Paul he cannot retire any time soon as we need him for when we renew our vows in 10 years or so.

We would not hesitate to use him again and have already recommended him to friends and colleagues.

We have shared a few of the photos (it was hard to narrow it down to just these as they are all so nice)

Amazing, phenomenal, talented

Paul made us feel at ease with himself immediately.
He went the extra mile for some phenomenal shots. His humour and talent is second to none. We can’t wait to get all the photos back.
Everytime we kiss now all I hear is ‘more passion’. 😂
All of our guests loved you. And your assistant Gemma has never done so many steps.
I hope we can use you when I marry my next husband. All the best and thank you. X

We had an amazing experience with Paul he was professional throughout, we had a great meeting with him before the wedding and on the day he was in no rush to leave he had a plan and executed it with great precession, he was friendly and calming he didn’t put any pressure on us and it was genuinely like talking to a friend. I would recommend him to anyone wanting a wedding photographer.

Chris and Charlie - July Wedding

We booked Paul for our July wedding this year. He was absolutely amazing and we loved having him be part of our day.
Paul was so friendly and approachable and he went above and beyond for us.
All of our guests commented on how well he fitted in as one of the guests and how lovely the photos are.
Even on the hottest day of the year, he didn’t make a fuss and carried on until he got the perfect shots!
We received our online gallery very quickly and love all of the photos - making it very hard to choose the best ones for our photo album!!
We would definitely recommend Paul for any wedding - you will not be disappointed!

Perfect photographer for a perfect day

If you need someone who is enthusiastic, passionate and brilliant at capturing those little moments - Paul is your photographer. From the moment of our arrival, you could tell he was going to make our day feel even more special. He made us feel comfortable and was amazing with both of our children - capturing them both perfectly.

We received our photos within a week and were blown away by the quality of each picture. What struck me in particular was how he managed to capture special little moments - some that we didn’t even notice. His photos made our special day look even more special - and his presence there made it feel it too.

Simply wonderful

I’ll start by saying I wasn’t looking forward to being centre of attention for the day, but I needn’t have worried as I can’t really put into words how at ease Paul made me feel. He is so good at getting guests to do exactly what he wants and takes the most wonderful pictures! EVERY SINGLE ONE of my guests commented on what a lovely and professional man he was. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to EVERYONE! Great communication and organisation - absolutely helped to make my wedding day so very special. Thank you, Paul - the best.
