    Everyone needs Chris for their day!

    Chris was absolutely fantastic from the initial zoom meeting, to our pre-wedding shoot, to the day itself.
    He has taken fantastic photos - we're struggling to decide which ones are favourites because they're all beautiful. Chris made sure he knew our venue, and the best spots for photos. Our golden hour photos on the beach are just magical.
    He's a great mix of professional and knowledgeable, and it being like hanging out with a mate. He made us feel super comfortable with him, and with having our pictures taken. We had so much fun doing our photos, and everyone at our day loved him.
    My best friend said she wished she'd found him for her wedding!
    We love him and his pictures, and will be recommending Chris to anyone who will listen to us!

    So glad we went with the best in the business.

    We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect photographer for our wedding at Fistral Beach last June.
    From start to finish, Chris was the absolute definition of professionalism, calm, organised, and completely in control while still being warm and approachable.
    Chris made us feel so at ease, which really shows in the photos. The images are nothing short of stunning, beautifully captured moments that feel natural, emotional, and full of life.
    Every time we look through them, we’re transported right back to the day.
    Chris had an incredible eye for detail and made the most of the beach setting, capturing the light, scenery, and atmosphere perfectly. So many of our guests commented on how fantastic they were too.
    We’re beyond grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what they do, we couldn’t recommend Chris more highly.

    Thanks so much for your review Andrew! I had a great time valuing your day and I’m so happy you were so pleased with your final gallery and your experience on the day! All the best for the future!

    Exhausting! Haha!

    Hey Chris, so sorry for the delay in review, it's been a very busy start to the year!

    We booked Chris for our wedding in November 2025. We were looking for someone local to the Cornwall area to capture our elopment, someone with local knowledge who could really make use of the time we had and someone who would make use both feel comfortable in front of the camera.

    When we viewed the Armstrong portfolio we loved the style of photography and after sending a quick enquiry we booked in for a zoom call.

    The process from enquiry to booking Chris was so simple, and the zoom call made us feel both at ease with lots of laughter and straight to the point conversation.

    We booked Chris without hesitation and awaiting the big day Chris kept in touch with emails and a second zoom call.

    When the big day arrived Chris was the ultimate professional. His knowledge of the cornish coastline was exceptional and he took us for a lovely exhausting hike across the cliffs haha! But captured the most stunning photos. We couldn't of been happier with the workout, we mean photography.

    We would highly recommend Chris, especially if you looking for someone with knowledge of the cornish coastline and someone who makes you feel like a friend rather than a client.

    Thanks Chris!

    Chris Armstrong Photography's reply:

    No worries at all, thanks for leaving one! So pleased you enjoyed your day and the final gallery! I’d like to just point out that you told me you loved phyzz and wanted to get thrashed over the coast path, soooo 😆

    Chris was absolutely amazing

    Chris was absolutely amazing both on the day and the run up! Our photos are absolutely beautiful and we have had loads of compliments from family and friends. He captured all the little moments throughout including the drunk dancing! We didn't have the traditional 'going off for photos' which was exactly what we wanted we kept popping off with Chris for 10/15 mins throughout the day managed to get loads of pictures without feeling like we missed any part of the wedding day which was perfect and got photos in lots of different lights and with a rainbow! Thank you so much Chris!!

    Chris Armstrong Photography's reply:

    Thanks so much for your review Suzie! It’s been great getting to know you both and I’m so pleased you love your final gallery and you both had the day you wished for! Thanks for trusting me to capture it all!

    Top wedding photographer! 5*

    We can’t fully put into words how amazing you have been from the start. From the first zoom call we had, we knew it had to be you. You were just so friendly and down to earth (and also live across the road from us which is a bonus!).

    We are both quite shy about having our photos taken, so the engagement shoot we were initially quite nervous about. But it was such fun having a relaxed evening stroll around Holywell Bay at sunset and we were amazed by the beauty of the photos you captured. We loved them so much we used one as our guest book at the wedding for everyone to sign.

    We also loved having a meet up before the wedding to chat through the day so you knew all the details and what was important. Despite the yellow weather warning for rain, you managed to clear the skies of hail and rain for the most stunning photos on the day. We can not wait for the full album to come back and see all the magical moments you have captured!

    You also went above and beyond and kindly went round to our house on the morning of the wedding to collect a very important parcel that arrived late! It meant so much that Duncan could wear the hand made, personalised cufflinks and you made that happen!

    Thanks for getting the best out of us and creating our forever memories! We would 100% recommend you as a wedding photographer!

    Katy & Duncan

    Fun, professional and quality photographer

    We knew from the outset that we wanted to work with Chris, and we were super pleased he was available when we enquired.

    Throughout our wedding planning he was more than just our photographer, he was also someone who we could bounce ideas from to make sure we maximised our wedding day to get it absolutely perfect. He provided suggestions including other suppliers who he had worked with, which was a massive help, and was always punctual in responding to any communications.

    Chris engaged with our guests, building a good rapport from the outset - many of which commented on how nice he was and easy to work with. His efficiency and coordination meant that we got all the styles of photos we wanted as well as maximising our time with our guests. Throughout our wedding day he improvised from start to finish, using his creativity to get those unique shots which captured our day in a variety of perspectives.

    Having now got our photos back, we couldn’t be happier with the outcome, volume, diversity and quality of our wedding photos. We have a blend of traditional and candid shots which captured both the formalities and fun which our guests had.

    We would have not hesitation in recommending Chris to anyone! Get him booked up before you become disappointed.

    Thanks so much for this Jason, really appreciate the time you have taken providing such a great review! It was an awesome day and I’m so glad it all came together for you both on the day! Thanks for trusting me to capture it all!

    Out of this world photos and the perfect addition to your day!

    From first zoom call to our pre-wedding shoot, to our wedding day and beyond, we could not recommend Chris enough.

    We clicked so quickly and he made us both feel so at ease.
    Our pre-wedding sunset shoot at Treyarnon Bay gave us the chance to get to know Chris before the big day and produced the most stunning photos and was so much fun.

    Our actual wedding was at Polhawn fort on a boiling hot day. Chris turned up full of energy to a venue he had never been to before. Our wedding party immediately gelled with Chris as well and he commanded the room during our group shots when we needed it. The rest of the time he melted into the background. The photos from the ceremony and golden hour on the beach are our absolute faves. They look like something out of a magazine. Looking through our final gallery together, it tells the story and the emotion of the day perfectly and will be memories we will cherish forever! Thankyou!

    I don’t know what else to say other than BOOK CHRIS!

    Thanks so much for your review! I had the best time meeting you both and capturing your big day, it was awesome!

    Amazing photographer for our perfect Padstow wedding!

    Chris was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer! He made us feel so relaxed the whole day and managed to capture every moment without us even noticing he was there. He was helpful at guiding us through the day, all our guests loved him (and his jokes), and he was great getting the kids to smile for the camera. The photos turned out better than we ever imagined—so natural and full of emotion. We’ll treasure them forever. We couldn’t recommend Chris enough!

    The BEST Photographer.

    From the minute we met Chris, originally on a virtual call due to us living in Kent, we knew Chris was the right man to capture our day. He was chatty, reassuring and just made our future wedding plans very personable. Chris listened to what we wanted our day to be captured like and understood the assignment. We arranged our engagement photoshoot where we met him face to face and he soon made us feel comfortable with his quick wit and calm nature. The most important thing for my Chris and I was knowing someone who would listen to us, understand what we wanted and also wasn’t too serious and made us feel comfortable, as we weren’t exactly the most savvy with being in front of the camera. Prior to the day, Chris arranged a quick call to go over everything which again, was so reassuring. On the day, Chris arrived prompt and set about to work capturing what I felt like was every minute. He worked effortlessly, seamlessly and still had time to have a great laugh with our guests making them too feel involved and comfortable. In fact, by the end of the day, it was just like he was apart of our guest list. Chris gave us some sneaky previews less than 24 hours after our big day. We were made up with them but now we have our final shots, we are ecstatic! If I could have my day again, I’d choose Chris a million times over. We are so happy with our end results. Thank you Chris. You really do have a talent and our words will never be enough to say how thankful we are for being you being present and capturing our special day. Thank you. Mr and Mrs Knott x
