Amazing photographer & videographer!

We never had any doubt about choosing John to shoot our wedding!
When we booked, John was so helpful, told us everything he offered, what his plan would be on the day and showed us a huge portfolio of his previous weddings. He organised an engagement/pre wedding shoot in the New Forest so we could have a practice run and get some beautiful pics for our invites and other stationary. We had zoom calls with him in the lead up to the wedding to confirm what photos we wanted, group shots, and to confirm final details. John made sure everything ran without a hitch! We couldn’t be more grateful!
Also a huuuuge shoutout to Jenny who accompanied John on our day!
