⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We couldn't be happier with the experience we had with Kevin, both on our wedding day and during the prior planning. From the moment we got in touch, Kevin made us feel comfortable and confident that he would capture our day just how we wanted, in a relaxed way. Kevin was professional and personable throughout and our guests loved their interactions with him. Our photos came out beautifully, we are so happy with them and grateful for the little touches and ideas Kevin had throughout the day. We highly recommend Kevin as a wedding photographer, we are so glad we chose him. Thanks Kevin! 😃

A Highly Friendly, Responsive Wedding Photographer

Kevin's customer service was second to none. From the first interaction he immediately put us at ease and reassured us that he was the right selection for our big day. He spent the time to evaluate the venue, way up all options and figure out what types of photos we would get on the day. He is highly personable and made us feel completely at ease with our choice of photographer even though our venue options were changing. He's a friendly, responsive kind chap who has your best interests at heart and the goal of your big day at the core of his job.

Above and beyond

When considering a wedding photographer, my partner and I honestly didn't know where to start. When we found Kevin and after meeting with him at a local coffee shop, we knew he would be perfect. Kevin's communication was always timely and very clear from the start. We knew we could get on with Kevin as a professional (and even as a great guy!).

On the day, Kevin arrived early and stayed late! He seamlessly integrated himself into the joviality of the day (adding to the atmosphere) even jokingly telling a close friend 'it's not about you!' which we all found hilarious!

Kevin managed to navigate some difficult family situations (that we had discussed prior to the day) with calm tact and grace. Due to his amiable manner, tricky situations (family politics) were avoided.

The photos themselves were beautiful. We loved pouring over them and relieving the moments he captured. At so many points I found myself saying 'I cannot believe he got this'. In many other pictures he has found a beautiful lighting and made my wonderful wife even more beautiful and even made me look like I have a tan in a couple of snaps.

Kevin's communication after the event was spot on. He kept us updated as to receiving the photos, which are easily available on a memory stick or behind a password on his website. Many friends and guests commented that they loved looking at them too with the link.

Overall, Kevin's service was of the highest quality. My partner and I often feel we have a habit on stumbling into the best choice for things. We know with Kevin we did just that and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

Thank you again Kevin,

Chris and Victoria Townsend-Nederend

Wonderful photos!!

From the very beginning Kevin has been responsive to questions. He made us feel very comfortable on the day and the photos are fabulous! We really appreciate how good he was with the many, many children there.
Kevin has kept up informed every step of the way and has been spot on with his time frames for getting the wonderful photos back to us.
All in all a fantastic vendor and we wouldn't hesitate to book Kevin again!!

Thank you!!!

Simply The Best

I cannot recommend Kevin enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the future. His work is truly outstanding.

From start to finish Kevin was warm, friendly and professional and I feel I gained a friend to support me through the stress of wedding planning. I'm sure he won't forget all the shoes I had for the day!! Everyone at the wedding commented on his lovely he was.

Kevin understood what we wanted with regards to photos, something fun and that matchesd our personalities and that's exactly what he achieved. The wedding photos are amazing and when we looked through them the first time there was joy, happiness, laughter and tears at how the pictures told the story of our day so well.

We honestly can't thank you enough Kevin for giving us such treasured memories of our wonderful day.

The best of the best

We had the absolute honour of having Kevin as our wedding photographer. From first meeting him going for a coffee to discuss what we wanted, to the big day arriving, he was super professional but incredibly easy to communicate with. So reasonably priced and you can see this is a man who adores his profession. With a down to earth character; he made our whole experience wonderful. He has a great sense of humour and way of calming your nerves, he made us super relaxed and captured all of the photos we wanted. He even sacrificed his birthday to photograph our wedding!

Kevin’s photography is exceptional and he has captured memories that will last a lifetime and beyond. I would highly recommend him to every friend and family member I have in need of his services.

We are so so glad we picked him.

Cannot recommend Kevin enough!

Kevin was the photographer for our wedding 02.04.23. Kevin was amazing from the outset. We had a facetime call to make sure we were on the same page and he was reassuring and relaxed. We got exactly what we were after! We had so many guests from the wedding say how good Kevin was. He was calm, relaxed, happy to go with the flow. He made sure he captured the day as it happened rather than treating it like a photoshoot which I've heard about other photographer. He was so attentive and even messaged us the day we flew for our honeymoon to say have a nice time! He's not just a supplier, Kevin is a lovely guy who I would 100% recommend to anyone.

Thank you Kev

We cannot recommend Kev highly enough! From the moment we first reached out, he was warm, professional, and genuinely excited to capture our special day. Our small, intimate wedding in Marylebone was made all the more magical thanks to Kev’s incredible talent and eye for detail.

He effortlessly put us at ease, blending into the day like an old friend while still managing to capture every beautiful, candid moment.

What we loved most was Kev’s ability to tell the story of the day. Looking through the gallery feels like reliving each moment, from the nervous excitement before the ceremony to the pure joy of celebrating with our closest family and friends. His attention to detail, kindness, and ability to make us laugh throughout made the whole experience easy.

Kev, thank you for giving us memories to cherish forever. We’ll treasure your work always and feel so lucky you were there to capture the start of our new chapter together.

With heartfelt thanks,
Chris & Rich

Mr and Mrs French Review

Kevin has been nothing short of amazing. We knew choosing the right photographer for our wedding was important. We were looking for someone that we could relate to, feel comfortable with and understood exactly the kind of pictures we wanted. Kevin was all of these and more. As soon as we met Kevin we knew we made the right decision, he is so friendly and reassuring. He listened to everything we asked for, and kept in touch to make sure he had all information he needed before our big day. Kevin is professional, and also the kind of guy you can chat to for hours!
On our wedding day, Kevin made sure he stuck to our list of pictures that we requested. He also went out of his way to surprise us with some gorgeous pictures that we never even knew we would have loved. He has a real attention to the little details. Kevin worked tirelessly all day, with no second wasted. He put so much energy into making sure he didn’t miss a moment, and we are so grateful for that in the amazing range of pictures we have from our wedding.
The pictures Kevin has taken are beautiful, the quality of them are better than we could have imagined, we can’t wait to display some of our favourites. We ended up with so many good pictures it’s still hard to choose favourites! We have had so many compliments from guests on how great Kevin was on our wedding day, people ask us how I found him, and it was by chance Facebook as he lives locally! I’m so glad I did, I would recommend Kevin to anyone getting married. I wish Kevin all the best in his photography journey, he deserves all the credit he gets and it’s great to see that other people have said the same.
Thank you Kevin for being a special part of our wedding and capturing our day so beautifully!
