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

Professional, talented and genuinely lovely

We honestly couldn't reccomend Paul highly enough. From our first conversation, he was so friendly and immediately put us at ease so it was a very easy decision to go with him. In the lead up to our wedding, he was clearly so invested in giving us the best experience.

On the wedding day itself, he was absolutely fantastic. Our family and friends were also very complimentary in saying how friendly and approachable he was. Paul made us feel very comfortable and gave us direction while still having plenty of space to enjoy our day.

Both the photos and the video were stunning, and brought tears to our eyes. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer, there was absolutely nothing to criticise. We would wholeheartedly reccomend Paul to any couple who is looking to have someone perfectly capture their wedding day. Thank you so much for everything!

Couldn’t have chosen better!!

Choosing a wedding photographer is probably one of the most important decisions when it comes to planning a wedding and we couldn’t have made a better choice!

From the moment we met Paul at the wedding open day at The Connaught, we instantly got on and liked him straight away! He’s such a genuine, nice guy - super chilled, funny and easy to get along with.

We had an engagement shoot down the beach about a year before the wedding, which was such a lovely evening. Paul made us feel so relaxed and comfortable, which definitely helped when it came to the wedding day!

The wedding itself was the best day ever, and Paul was amazing - bringing the energy and keeping everyone laughing! All of our guests loved him, and he even drove us down to the beach for a wedding shoot, which was super fun.

He took so many great photos, and the video he did for us was awesome too - something we’ll treasure and look back on for years to come.

Paul is so talented and has such a good vibe, and we’re so glad we chose him to capture our wedding day.

Thank you for everything, Paul!!! 🤍📸

Hire Paul if you want seamless wedding photography, incredible photos, no awkward posing and a very friendly addition to your special day

What can I say apart from you'd be making a mistake to pick anyone else for your wedding.

Paul's photos were beautiful, made us cry, made us smile and made us laugh - they captured our day perfectly.

Paul is a really lovely person and made us, and all of our guests feel so comfortable, which really shows in the photos. My wife and I aren't people that are usually posing in front of cameras but Paul made it so easy for our couple photos, and the results speak for themselves.

We wanted a documentary style approach which Paul delivered amazingly, we can run through the full day and it's like we're back there watching our friends and family having a great time. He caught so many lovely moments of our guests other photographers would have completely missed!

Paul was completely flexible, worked around us and what we wanted to do at all times and bounced ideas of us throughout which was great.

He shared the photos with us so quickly in a matter of weeks, not months like some friend's had with their own weddings and other photographers. The photos were perfect and easily sharable with guests.

Do yourself a favour and set a meeting with Paul and you'll see what I mean!

Couldnt recommended enough!

Paul was fantastic all the way through. From initial emails and first meetings to right the way through to partying with him at the end of our night, he was brilliant, professional, ease going and accommodating.

He has a way of putting you at easy at every turn, he did everything he said he would do and more, exactly when and how he said he would. It was like having a friend you havnt seen in ages and a bonus guest all rolled into one. All of our guests sang Paul's praises all day. In 36° heat Paul was there all day and night to capture every moment of our special day, he was both in the background sneakily capturing moments we didn't even know were happening and also there at a moments notice for all the moments you wanted him to and any requests we had. He directed when needed and he even gave us a lift from one venue to another!

Our photos are lovely and we will cherish them forever.

Great service, great photos, great guy! Would recommend in a heartbeat and will be looking for an excuse to use him again.

Thanks Paul, all the best Aaron & Hollie!

Absolutely brilliant!

We married outside of our home town so found Paul on this site. We booked based on the quality of his work along with the reviews, and then met with him at our venue a few weeks before the wedding.
He was just fantastic. Fun, professional, and engaged so well with all of our guests - everyone loved him!
He captured the essence of our special day perfectly - absolutely delighted we found Paul, and couldn't be happier with our photographs. They really tell the story of our day and every time we look at them we smile and re-live it all over again :-) thanks so much Paul

Paul Heath: Incredible photos, stress-free day, and a wonderful person!

We were exceptionally happy with the great service Paul Heath provided for our wedding in July 2026. He truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect! From start to finish, Paul was completely reliable, professional, and incredibly friendly. He brought such an amazing, positive energy to the day and played a massive role in keeping everything moving seamlessly.

Paul was an absolute lifesaver before the ceremony; he has a wonderful, calming presence and was a key part of keeping the bride completely relaxed and at ease.

He has a truly special way of interacting with guests, effortlessly making everyone feel entirely comfortable in front of the camera.

He took total control of organising the photography with so much structure and efficiency that there was minimal disruption to our day, allowing us to just enjoy the celebration.

We are so in love with the results! He didn't just capture the stunning official portraits and key moments, but he also took loads of brilliant, informal candid shots that perfectly preserve the real emotion and joy of the day.

To top it all off, he delivered our final photos incredibly quickly and well within the timelines he promised.

Paul is a master of his craft and a joy to work with.

All in all, he is highly recommended!

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer

Paul was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! He captured our day so naturally, and the whole experience felt relaxed and enjoyable rather than posed or awkward. From the very beginning he provided an amazing service, he was flexible with travelling to our venue in Bridgend for our intimate wedding and with start/end timing. He is friendly, patient and incredibly talented and all our guests loved him.

We chose to work with him because of his style and he didn't disappoint. The photos and the video are absolutely beautiful and perfectly reflect all the special moments from our wedding. The quality exceeded our expectations and the service was exceptional. Paul offers incredible value for money, excellent communication and a truly professional experience.

We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented photographer who puts you at ease and delivers amazing results.

I couldn’t recommend Paul any more. From the moment we met him he shared our excitement and vision for our wedding day and it came to light extraordinarily. Paul took time to meet with us to discuss ideas and ensure he knew every little detail about the day and what suited us. He is also super personable and made the day so fun from start to finish. There wasn’t a moment that he wasn’t paying attention to detail and ensuring our day was captured. Honestly anyone would be lucky to work with this guy! We just received the pictures and are absolutely over the moon with the result. We will cherish these memories and pictures forever and Paul was such a huge part of our beautiful day. He even carried my bag and mine and my husband’s drinks, whilst we wondered around getting wonderful shots all over the venue and surrounding areas. I can’t thank Paul enough for everything he’s done for us. 1000/10 and hope to see him again in the future!

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!
