    The value is not just on the day. We could not have wished for better

    Booking Chris was the easiest decision we made and could not have wished for a better photographer.
    We chose him off the back of his online portfolio. The quality of the other weddings he'd shot was in a different league. And he exceeded what we'd seen. The photos are beautiful.

    What we didn't expect was how much of the value sits outside the day itself. A few weeks before, he ran a pre-shoot. It meant we'd spent proper time with him before the wedding, it broke the ice and he used it to give us genuinely useful tips on posing which made us feel at ease during the wedding. He then sat down with us and went through the whole running order, so he knew exactly which moments mattered to us and where he needed to be. On the day, that planning showed: nothing was missed, and he pulled us away for couple shots at exactly the right point.

    He's also brilliant with people. He put our families at ease immediately and yet we hardly noticed him working all day. That combination is rare.

    To top it off, a preview gallery arrived very soon after the wedding. Our guests have raved about the photos. Wholeheartedly recommended.

    This is the Photographer you want!

    From the moment we started looking for a wedding photographer, the most important thing for us was finding someone we could genuinely get along with. You spend so much time with your photographer on your wedding day that having the right person there is just as important as loving their work. With Chris, we found both.

    The engagement shoot that was included in our package was honestly a priceless part of the experience. It gave us the chance to get to know Chris before the wedding day and allowed a friendship to naturally develop between us as a couple and Chris as our photographer. It also helped us feel much more comfortable in front of the camera, which made a huge difference when the big day arrived.

    On the wedding day itself, Chris was fantastic. The way he interacted with our guests made him feel more like a guest himself than a supplier, which we absolutely loved. He blended in effortlessly, put everyone at ease, and captured so many natural moments as a result.

    When our gallery arrived, we spent a lovely evening together reliving our entire wedding day through the photographs. The photo gallery truly speaks for itself. It captured the day perfectly, from the big emotional moments to all the little details we may have otherwise forgotten.

    Chris also gives you a bit of VIP treatment through his social media, which was a really nice touch and made the whole experience feel even more special.

    We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Chris. Not only did we receive incredible photographs that we will treasure forever, but we also gained a photographer who felt like a friend along the way. We would recommend him without hesitation to any couple looking for someone talented, professional, and genuinely wonderful to have by their side on their wedding day.

    Grateful for Chris!

    Look no further for the perfect wedding photographer! Chris is your man.

    We split our wedding into a small ceremony and a celebratory party a month apart, and Chris was there every step of the way. His experience gave us invaluable advice on what works best, his adaptability meant nothing was too much to ask (including shooting our ceremony on his birthday!), and his personality meant he fit in so well that our guests assumed he was our mate who also did photography!

    And of course, his style provided us with the perfect set of pictures to match us - he captured the love and fun of both days completely and seemed to instantly understand our relationship, making for a set of photos that exactly represent how we feel. His diligence, compassion and charm helped make our wedding the best thing ever. Thank you Chris!

    Thanks so much for your review! It’s been great getting to know you both whilst capturing your ceremony and main wedding day as well!
    All the best for the future and hopefully bump into you both again sometime!

    Exceeded all expectations

    We had originally booked a different photographer, but due to a family emergency he was unfortunately no longer able to capture our day. Looking back now, it really was a blessing in disguise, because Chris was absolutely outstanding and suited our laid-back beach wedding, our personalities and the whole vibe of the day perfectly.

    From the moment he arrived, he felt more like one of our guests than someone we’d only just met. His banter was brilliant, he blended in effortlessly with our family and friends, and made everyone feel completely at ease. So many of our guests commented afterwards on how friendly and natural he was.

    We wanted relaxed, documentary-style photography that captured the real moments rather than endless posing, and Chris absolutely nailed it. Every photo tells the story of our day beautifully – the laughter, the emotions, the little moments we didn’t even realise were happening, and the incredible atmosphere.

    We’re beyond grateful to have such amazing memories to look back on. If you’re looking for someone who is incredibly talented, puts everyone at ease and captures your day exactly as it happens, we couldn’t recommend Chris highly enough.

    Thank you for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever.

    Book him. Right now!

    It’s hard to write a review for Chris that fully captures how grateful we are that we found him for our wedding day, but here we go…

    It’s difficult to politely try and find someone who you simultaneously want to blend in so well you don’t know they’re there, but also have them fit in like the guest you didn’t know you needed, who turns up to make the day even more special. But somehow, Chris does it all.

    My husband isn’t usually a crier, but when Chris sent us the photos of the best day of our lives, we relived every single moment so perfectly that there was absolutely no stopping the tears. Chris manages to notice the tiny beautiful moments that you don’t even realise are happening at the time, and catch them so you can keep them forever. Our day felt blissful in the moment, but I never expected the magic of the day to be captured so flawlessly. We couldn’t have asked for a more authentic and honest way to remember it for the rest of our lives.

    You wouldn’t know it looking at the photos (we got very into it), but we were nervous about having a photographer (we’re both awkward people). Chris, we cannot thank you enough for everything you did to make sure we felt comfortable from the first moment we met you, and for understanding what photos would be true to us, not posey or artificial, but real photos of the details and moments that made the day what it was.

    If you’re reading this and looking for a photographer for your wedding, or honestly anything at all, I promise you don’t need to look any further.


    P.s. he is also a good laugh.

    Chris Armstrong Photography's reply:

    Thank you both so much for leaving this review, for taking the time to write it and also for what you have written. It really does make a huge difference to me to know when I’ve done a good job and it’s made my week reading it first thing Monday morning!

    I’ve already told you but driving home from you elopement at Chypraze, it was one of those reflective moments where I was just smiling and thinking how awesome it is I get to spend time with really lovely people, in a beautiful place, capturing their best day and I get paid to do it!

    And to think you were really nervous which I remember when we did our first zoom call together and very unsure about having a photographer at all! But I am so glad you chose to trust me to capture your day for you and I’m also really glad that you chose to have exactly the type of day that you did that was true to you both. It’s easy to get caught up in the performative side of weddings and end up having a day that is more about other people, but you absolutely made the day about you and your closest family and the happiness is clear to see.

    Thanks again for choosing me and I wish you both all The happiness for the future and hopefully we will see each other again sometime!

    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!

    Chris Armstrong Photography's reply:

    That’s such a great review to start my Monday morning off with! Thanks so much for trusting me to capture your day and taking the time to leave me this review! All
    The best for the future and hope to see you again some time!

    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!
