Paul is a must for your wedding!
We were so grateful to have Paul as our photographer for our wedding, he made the day super easy and fun! We wanted natural photos to look back on and not spend ages doing this as we wanted to enjoy our day and Paul captured exactly that! Paul was great to work with before, during and after our special day which put us at ease.
Our photos came back so quickly and we are over the moon with them and cannot believe how great we look on our special day and that was all down to Paul!
Thank you so much for capturing our special day, we now get to relive the day through our amazing photos! -

Absolutely brilliant photographer who was like a bonus guest
My husband and I spent many hours looking at various photographer’s websites. He’s a bit handy with a camera so he had a real interest in this aspect of the wedding planning. As soon as I stumbled on Paul’s website I could tell he was what we were looking for. Well taken, natural shots that tell a story. You can tell Paul’s background is photojournalism.
We spoke to Paul on a Zoom call before we booked him and we found him easy going and a laugh. We also spoke to Paul again before the wedding to discuss further what we wanted. At all times he understood the brief.
On the day itself Paul blended in as an extra guest almost. Guests seemed to really gel with him and he got in to the spirit of the fun event we had planned. A couple of friends don’t remember a photographer being there so I think they actually thought he was a guest. We invited Paul back the next day to take day after shots as we had use of the venue for a barbecue. Again it was great having Paul around to capture the day.
I’ve just received my wedding photographs. There are so many of them and they are al superb. They tell the story of the day so well I had a wonderful evening going through them. I am sure I will take many days looking through as each time I spot something different. It’s really made me reminisce. The day after shots are just superb too. There are photographs of people, decor, pets, food, laughter and hi-jinx.
If you’re thinking of Paul as a photographer, think no more, he’s brilliant. -

Daniela M. Sent on 07/06/2024A wonderful record of our special day!
Paul was everything we were looking for from a photographer. Incredibly personable and accommodating - he made sure that he always kept what we wanted in mind. We knew that the day would likely be quite overwhelming and that might affect our memory of it so it was important to us that, as well as some of the posed shots, we had someone who could take really good documentary style pictures that captured the magic of the day. The photos did not disappoint! Paul was great at finding opportunities for pictures throughout the day whilst not pulling us away from the celebrations for too long which gave a lovely balance. He managed to capture everyone who attended and caught some really lovely moments. We would not hesitate to recommend Paul, he will do your day justice!Paul Read Photography's reply:

Paul was fantastic!
Paul was absolutely brilliant! He made us feel so at ease with being in front of the camera, most of the time we didn’t even notice he was there. He captured our vision perfectly. Everyone has loved the photos and so do we!Paul Read Photography's reply:
Ah thanks Amy!! Being with you all at Highley Manor was a real joy. You were both so lovely to photograph, and be around. Such a happy day! :) -

An amazing people photographer
Paul was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding photographer. Creative, sensitive, smiley, always looking for the best shot / angle. Full of ideas and a pleasure to have with us on our special day. Paul captured the laughter and love of our guests, and those special moments shared between my husband and I. For our wedding day I wanted to work with someone who was a little bit different to the norm, who loved people and photographing them, and who was incredibly patient and kind on the day. We rarely noticed he was there at times. He has produced some breathtaking shots of us on our day, and has really captured our essence as a couple.
We were privileged to have Paul as our wedding photographer, and would work with him again in a heartbeat.Paul Read Photography's reply:
Ahh thanks Miriam & Richard - you make me sound brilliant!! Ahahaah! :) I'm so glad you asked me to photograph for you...I have such fond memories!!! -

Stop search... Simply Brilliant
Thank you so much for accommodating us at such short notice. You are an incredibly patient and kind photographer who did not once rush us through any of our moments. Being from another country, it was so important that our day was captured to enable us share with other family overseas. You did just that for us. I will and can recommend you over and over again!Paul Read Photography's reply:
Ahh Annie, that's so lovely to read - thank you so much for your kind words! It makes everything worthwhile, knowing that what I do makes people happy. Spread the love of your wedding day photographs far and wide; I hope these images bring your overseas family just that little bit closer. Stay in touch...and thanks so much for recommending me :) Paul -
