Incredible

Lisa & Stuart were amazing from start to finish, nothing was too much and went above and beyond for us. Subtly in the background taking candid photos just as we wanted and some fabulous photos of us together. We are so grateful and would highly recommend.

Capturing memories to last a lifetime

We have spent so much time looking over our most incredible portfolio of wedding photos. Lisa and Stuart completely captured the moments and feelings of love and happiness on the day, which you can see clearly in everyone’s faces. They did this whilst melting into the background, and really making sure we spent quality time with our family and friends rather than lengthy photo shoots which was perfect, we had such a fantastic day.
They were both completely professional from start to finish, alleviating any concerns or questions we had whilst being friendly and putting us at ease. I wouldn't hesitate to use or recommend Lisa & Stuart again.
They went above and beyond on the day and we felt like we left them as friends.
Thank you so much for the captured memories which we will treasure for our lifetime.

Impressive wedding photography service

Lisa and Stuart Clayton make a great team. Easy to work with, knowledgeable and extremely patient which you need when trying to round up guests! There were so many lovely, very natural photographs. I would highly recommend them. They did my daughter and son-in-law proud.

Incredible, friendly, down to earth and perfectly talented photographer.

I could go on and on about Lisa but the words wouldn’t quite do the justice she deserves!
Lisa & her husband Stuart drove all the way from Scotland for our wedding in Derbyshire. Not only that but they came the night before, got up at the crack of dawn to explore the area for the best photos & then were there from the moment we got up for breakfast to capture our day.

Stuart spent the morning capturing the men getting ready, and as a surprise, chauffeured my husband to the venue in it!

Lisa hung out in our bridal suite capturing every moment of us ladies getting ready, and she was there for all the fussing and last minute panics in between. She helped me to remain calm & have fun the whole morning and patiently took my photo when I was too busy making silly faces.

It felt like these two did not stop for a break all day, even with me telling them to have a moment to chill! They were always there, getting the best moments on camera that would’ve otherwise been missed. They recorded our ceremony, took over 1000 photos and had so much fun with us on our big day. Everything was so natural, Lisa didn’t stage any of our photos dramatically and just wanted us to be & feel as natural and comfortable as possible.

We had 3 wedding date changes due to covid & a change of venue- they were so flexible with changing everything around our dates!

We couldn’t have imagined our day without them, not only as photographers but as people too.

We can’t thank you both enough.
For those reading this review and are looking for some beautiful photography- I 100000000% recommend! 🥰❤️

Perfect, chill couple

Having a couple be our wedding photographer made it that little bit more special. Lisa was able to get ready in the morning with me, and Stuart stayed with my partner. It meant I got to see a whole morning of photos for the bits I wasn't there for! Both Lisa and Stuart were absolutely lovely from the start - always responding to emails quickly, asking all the right questions to keep everything on track and being really clear about their job and how they do it. This was such a relief to my partner and I, as it meant there were no surprises about where the photographers would be and what they were doing. We had the most amazing, perfect day and Lisa and Stuart were a huge part of that. Honestly couldn't recommend them more! From the taster photoshoot before the wedding, to the wedding itself and then the very quick sending over of a small selection of pics, then within a week or so we had the full album! And a couple weeks later we even received this gorgeous wooden box, with a USB with our complete album on it!

Highly professional with an outstanding personal touch

Could not have wished for better photographers. Lisa and Stuart went out of their way to make our day better than we could have hoped. They bring such professionalism along with personalities that make you feel at ease in times when things get a bit hectic. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Great pictures, friendly, accommodating and relaxed

Lisa and Stuart were easy to communicate with, had a great understanding of what we wanted on our wedding day and really captured the joy of the day. They captures all the photos we requested as well as lots of beautiful candid photos. They slipped into the background whilst also being ever present when needed. They made us and our guests feel at ease and got fantastic pictures as a result. Great value for money and great memories from our fantastic day.

The Best. Would definitely recommend!

I had both personal pictures and pictures of my family captured by Lisa. All I can say is that she was absolutely amazing, not only did she put me at ease( being slightly apprehensive and shy at first) but managed to get my 3 year old son to not only stand still, but smile for every picture. The images Lisa caught, were heartwarming, beautiful and better than I ever imagined. Very professional and extremely friendly. Overall, a wonderful experience and memories caught forever. Thank you so much Lisa, will definitely return for your services once my second son is born.

Made us so at ease, caught we wanted and all we didn't see.

We cannot recommend enough. Communication was open and whenever we had a question or idea it was answered and taken onboard. Lisa and Stuart were amazing human beings where nothing was a problem and they flowed with all that came throughout the day.
We had a list of who and what we wanted photo wise as discussed at length with this brilliant couple. They were amazing with us and all the guests taking photos in places that gave variety as requested by us. We wanted colours to pop and faces seen unlike some wedding styles which others choose and they stood by that request catching all the moments and faces we could not see. They were great to have around throughout our day catching lovely moments and finding points to stop and take in. Nothing was a problem and they were great at being there for the formals and background at points in the day that we as bride and groom missed. They were there but they caught the candid moments due to being in the background for example during our dinner where the laughter shots caught make us smile. The selection for us to put out came quickly and the full album all photos taken was given 4 weeks later as we were informed from the start so all of it was super quick. The USB was a personalised wooden box and wooden USB.
Thank you for making our day easy and taking photos that will keep our memories alive for the years to come.
