    August Wedding

    We had Carl to photograph our wedding and could not be happier with him.
    From start to finish he was amazing. From coming round the house to replying to every text or call straight away. It wasn’t a venue that he had photographed previously so he made the time to visit and look at the best spots before the wedding day. On the morning he was so helpful to all us all and beyond that just a really nice friendly lad to have round and got on had a laugh with us all.

    We had our full photos back recently and we love them. So many amazing pictures that we didn’t get chance to see during the day. He also did a video of the day for us and I can’t stop watching it. He has captured our special day so perfectly and I cannot recommend highly enough.

    Dream come true!

    Could not recommend Carl enough he was so easy to work with from start to finish and made sure we had exactly what we wanted, put us at ease and the photos and video are better than we could have wished for!
    We had so many positive comments from guests on the day about Carl and he managed to capture absolutely every detail of the day!

    Outstanding 🤩

    To be honest, I don’t think there are enough words I could use to say how immensely fantastic Carl was, he listened to everything! He knew exactly what we wanted and the style we would love. Carl is by no means your average photographer, the fact he stayed until the very end of the wedding proves how much he dedicates his passion into making things absolutely perfect! The vibe he bought to the day was incredible and all of our guests commented on how lovely he was. Nothing was too big or small to ask. I would recommend Carl over and over again to all future couples! He blew us away, and every time I look at my photos I am reminded of it. I can not wait to see the video, because if they are anything like the photos then my breath will be taken away all over again!!

    Creative & fun

    Carl built a fun and creative atmosphere with myself, my bride and all of our guests. He invented some amazing ideas which since seeing the final videography package, all really worked. He was polite, respectful and put us all at ease throughout the day. We are all thrilled with the final product, the footage of the day, the speeches and the back ground music all came out brilliantly and we can’t stop showing people what Carl has created. Amazing value for money and we couldn’t recommend him enough!

    Fantastic!!!

    Carl was absolutely amazing, he was so friendly and interacted with everyone. His ideas for how some of the pictures were taken was genius. I can not rate him high enough!

    Kieran and Alice’s wedding

    Carl came to the hotel to meet myself the groom and groomsmen and from start to the very end of the day he was spot on such a kind man and from the few photos I’ve seen already he’s cracking at his job

    Best (looking) in the business.

    What can i say, other than my new husband wanting to leave me for this hunk, Carl was outstanding, he accommodated all of our special needs with no issue.

    All of the photos produced will stand the test of time and we couldn’t be happier. He even helped my aging grandma up to dance. He went above and beyond and i’ll recommend him to anyone.

    Amazing! Couldn't have dreamed of more 😍

    Me and my partner Dylan were so nervous about the formals, however Carl made us feel so at ease. He kept us moving, nothing too staged and kept our focus on each other. He is so easy going and has great communication skills. He sees things before it even happens and doesn't stop all day. 5 stars from us. Thank you for making our day so special, and giving us memories we can cherish forever

    Thank you so much Chloe.. I hope you both are doing great and the murder mystery went well ;-) Take care

    Above and beyond!

    We really couldn't of been happier with Carl. Right from the start he was a pleasure to be around. His communication was excellent, his knowledge of weddings and the industry really helped us with quite alot on our list. His style of photography wasn't intrusive, he captured photos that were so beautiful we hung them on our wall.

    ALSO i think its worth a mention, what I loved about Carl, he didn't put a premium on anything. He does all extras at cost price. Quoting him from our meeting "weddings are expensive enough without me adding unreasonable costs"
    Fantastic bloke, and a fantastic photographer

    Thank you so much

    Simply the most fabulous photographer

    Carl wanted to make sure he captured everything we wanted from our day and before the day was forthcoming with ideas that sounded lovely, he was super accommodating. When the day came nerves were everywhere and I didn’t even notice the camera, he kind of merged in the background but yet made you laugh along the way, he captured moments I didn’t even know he had, me and my partner hate photoshoots etc but he made the photos fun, he’s a great guy with a great sense of humour and that couldn’t of helped more when we felt so nervous. The end product was out of this world we couldn’t of asked for more he delivered way more than we expected. I can not recommend him enough. I would never recommend any one else! Thanks Carl ❤️
