Absolutely perfect!

More than we could’ve ever hoped for when it came to the photography at our wedding. Thank you! James and Charlotte were utterly faultless from start to finish. Not only are they both incredibly friendly, but the quality of the photos taken and the AMOUNT of photos taken has blown us away. Theres not a single moment they didn’t capture. We had a teaser set of photos sent to us the following day!! Then the rest of them all came through less than a month after the wedding. Amazing!! The service, the quality, the friendliness, everything is just faultless. I couldn’t recommend them enough! Thank you so much for everything, we can never thank you enough! Highly recommend to absolutely everyone looking into hiring photography for their wedding.

Master of His Craft

Best photographer ever! James was absolutely the star of the show (next to the bride of course!).

We've never been to a wedding where the guests were complimenting the photographer so much. He was simultaneously everywhere he needed to be, whilst nowhere in sight, making us feel like we were alone when we had our private moments after tying the knot!
Had an engagement shoot with James as well, and it was beautiful! He made us feel so at ease and natural in front of the camera, and had loads of suggestions for good shots. This relayed into the wedding day as well!

Charlotte also played a crucial part in our wedding evening by running the photo booth, and there were some amazing memories to come out of that!

A big thank you to both of you for making this such a special day, and for the rapid turnaround with our photos which we will treasure forever!

Amazing, great photo booth

Great prints and a USB at the end - couldn’t have asked for better deliverables! The props list is good but we were able to add more of our own stuff.

Excellent service!

Incredible photographer

We could not recommend James enough! From the moment we booked he was always only an email away, he took time to listen to the style of photos we wanted and on the day played such a huge part of our wedding! Our guests were so impressed with how friendly and interactive James was and he worked so well with our videographer. We could not recommend him enough, thank you for capturing the most beautiful photos of our special day!

Beautiful photos and amazing team!

We met James and Charlotte at a wedding fair just after we engaged and after a quick chat booked them immediately for our wedding this summer! We are so glad we did! James was friendly, calming and very professional from start to finish, making sure to capture some beautiful photos in the relaxed style we wanted. We’re so happy with the photos! Thank you so much James! We would absolutely recommended James and Charlotte for your wedding day!

Beautiful photos from an amazing company

We are so glad we chose Outside and Instant to capture our special day, the communication in the lead up to our day kept us feeling relaxed and we knew our photos would be in safe hands. On the day, James was fantastic with all of our guests and ensuring all the group shots we wanted were captured. Now seeing the final product, the photos are everything we wanted and more! The engraved USB also makes for a lovely keepsake. 100/10 would recommend!

Couldn't be Happier

James was fantastic from the off for our wedding day photography. Prior to the wedding we met and went through the running of the day, and he was able to help out with helpful suggestions for great local providers and ways to ensure the running of the day went smoothly. On the day he arrived early and helped us to ensure that things went to plan as discussed, fitting in with the family and guests and helping to timekeep as needed. He had all sorts of helpful suggestions and ideas for creative pictures and almost certainly covered a marathon in steps running about, ensuring that he was wherever the action was happening. We couldn't be happier with the results!

Hotel Wedding 06/02/2022

From start to finish, James and Charlotte had great communication. From the call back within a few hours of doing a form enquiry on a Sunday too the handing over of pictures. I can't fault them. Made everyone in the wedding feel at ease. Catered a package around our needs and was very reasonably priced, but with exceptional quality. James clearly scoped out the venue before and got the best possible experience. Also spend the money for the magic mirror, highlight of the evening for young and old
