Excellent Photographer

John was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He took the time to really understand what we wanted, offering plenty of thoughtful and incredibly helpful suggestions along the way.
Before the wedding, he met with us at our reception venue to walk through everything in detail, discussing locations and planning the different shots. This gave us real confidence going into the day.
Even though we were short on time during the wedding itself, John was exceptionally organised and ensured everything was captured smoothly and professionally. He kept things relaxed while still making sure we got all the photos we wanted.
The final photos were beautiful, and when we received our wedding album, we were absolutely blown away — everything looked stunning.
We couldn’t recommend John more highly!

10/10 - Amazing 🤩

John was great from our first introductory phone call, to the walk around the grounds prior to the wedding, down to the last photo.

As a couple we don’t do really do photographs and can be a really awkward person when it comes to it but John made us feel so comfortable though out the day.

Have a meet up at the venue before the wedding also really helped, John had lots of great ideas for if the weather took a for the worse, which made us feel more relaxed on the day.

I can’t express how great John was and he fitted in so well to the day and everyone commented on how great he was!

Thanks again John for capturing the perfect pictures/ memories for us! 🥰

Highly Recommend

John was recommended to us and we are so grateful he was. From the moment we met John we were at ease. He let us explain what we envisaged and what shots we wanted and with who. We visited the church, venue and surrounding area to choose where we wanted photos taken.
On the day John was fantastic with us and it was really good fun. All our guests had nothing but praise for John and thought he was great.
Our photos are fantastic and exactly what we had envisaged, John listened to every word and completely met the brief.
John has the highest recommendation from us.

Best photographer around!!

We met John and instantly felt a connection - like we were meeting an old friend. John explained everything to us the whole way through the planning and on our big day! He met my parents beforehand so there were some familiar faces, as John said, he spends as much time with us as our family do, and it felt like John was part of our family. It was so much fun working with John and we would 100% recommend for a fantastic and very welcome addition to your special day. Photographs are amazing, so many to choose from, and so very beautiful x

Absolutely fantastic

John was brilliant from the moment we booked him. We walked round the venue in advance to discuss the type of images we wanted, the areas we wanted images, which group shots we wanted etc so that everything was planned before our big day . John was so energetic on the day and all guests thought he was great. The quality of photo and the book after was amazing. Highly recommend!!

Takes away all problems

John was amazing from when my Mrs first met him at a wedding fair, she came home and said straight away "you two will get on" cause she knows that I respond well to people with respect, morales, and don't have to force anything. When we met up the first time it was like we knew eachother from before . He took away all problems at wedding of getting everyone together, and he done it easily cause he has a vibrant, fun, but direct nature perfect for a photographer. All our guests praised him also. Did I mention the photos were great too? Thanks John.

John is fabulous!

We got married in June 25 and John was absolutely fabulous! He was very engaged throughout the planning process and was very accommodating for the pre meet up (which was invaluable) and really great to have had the run through at the venues and time in person to discuss what we wanted for the day, the “must have” shots and how we wanted the more formal photos to be taken (so we didn’t miss things like the cocktail hour and being with guests). During our wedding day echoing what all others have said John’s energy was brilliant and we really did feel like we had time with our guests. He captured so many fabulous natural moments with all guests. As a slightly awkward couple and not naturally comfortable in front of a camera we was fabulous in making us feel comfortable and getting the images we wanted for our day!
The photos themselves are brilliant so much so trying to pick 80ish out of 1000 plus for the album took us ages as there were to many good ones! Lol the final album was beautifully presented and great quality with John capturing the stories and all the fun, silliness, specialness and giggles that was our day!
Highly recommend John. Will definitely be hiring him again for any big events in the future 🤩🤩🤩

Absolutely fantastic

John was absolutely brilliant throughout the whole process right from the very first day. His skills and helpfulness went far beyond purely photographing the occasion. From actually helping us plan certain layouts for the ceremony and reception to ensure that we got some much valued time to ourselves throughout the day he was dedicated and fantastic the whole time. And most importantly to us, he was funny, caring and we had a laugh! Thanks John!

You couldn't get better!!

John was incredible, not only did we get amazing quality photos, but the service he provides from start to finish is fantastic. Due to our own availability issues, we weren't even able to meet up with John prior to the Wedding day itself. Obviously we were nervous about this and the possibility of bad weather. Our pre meeting via phone call was all we needed to put us at ease. John had a plan for everything. On the day, John felt like one of the guests, everyone loved him. He was reassuring to my elderly parents, funny and charismatic with the adults andb friendly and approachable to the kids, he didn't make any of it seem like a chore. He took control when needed to make sure we got the photos we wanted, allowed us to relax enough to actually enjoy our day, came up with great photo ideas to make use of the great venue but also listened to our requests for certain photos that were important to us. I am recommending John to any of my friends getting married and I truly hope our paths cross again. YOU WON'T FIND BETTER THAN JOHN!

Incredibly talented and charismatic photographer!

John was friendly and approachable from the moment we met him! He was incredibly reassuring, knowledgeable on our venue and provided guidance in our pre-wedding meeting, which meant we felt really prepared for what to expect on the day. His charismatic personality put everyone at ease, and we had great feedback from guests about him. We really appreciated that John was able to capture so many great memories as well as all the group shots we wanted, whilst also providing us time to mingle with guests during the drinks reception - we felt he blended in perfectly during the day. We're so pleased with our amazing photos, and would definitely recommend John to others! Thank you John!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
