    Wedding Photography

    We had Karl as our wedding photographer and couldnt fault the service, all throughout the process from the moment we booked until the wedding day itself. Always in contact and helping with whatever we needed help with. Would highly recommend.

    Thank you so much, Paul! 😊

    It was an absolute pleasure to photograph your and Ami’s wedding. From the getting-ready moments right through to the evening celebrations, it was such a fun day, and I’m genuinely happy to have been a part of it.

    Thank you both for trusting me to capture those special memories. It was lovely working with you, and I wish you both a lifetime of love, happiness and wonderful memories together! ❤️📸

    Julie & Steve's wedding

    Karl was very helpful on the day, and also in preparation for the wedding. He is incredibly professional with his work and also accommodating to your needs. We chose a film themed wedding and Karl helped us produce some memorable group shots with dinosaurs in it. Everyone loved it!

    Karl Adams Photography's reply:

    Thank you Steven — it was lovely to work with both you and Julie. It was great that you had clear ideas of what you wanted from your photos on the day. I really enjoyed helping you both capture those magical photos that you love, and it was wonderful to be part of your big day that everyone enjoyed sharing. Thank you so much for booking me!

    Great photographer

    We honestly couldn't recommend karl enough. From the moment we first spoke, he was so friendly, professional and easy to work with, which made such a difference during what can be a very stressful time.

    On our wedding day he made us feel completely comfortable and captured so many beautiful, natural moments without anything ever feeling forced or awkward.

    Thankyou for being such a important part of our special day. We would 100% recommend karl to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

    Karl Adams Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Jemma. I honestly had a brilliant day with you and Lewis. From the nerves while you were getting ready, to the tears from Lewis just before the ceremony, every little moment helped make it such a magical and emotional day — not just for you both, but for me too.

    Thank you for allowing me to be such a big part of your special day and for trusting me to capture all those beautiful moments for you both.
    It was an absolute pleasure, and I hope whenever you look back through your photographs, they bring all those wonderful memories flooding back. 😊❤️

    Would highly recommend

    Having Karl capture our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. He was friendly, professional and captured every special moment naturally, from the excitement of getting ready to the laughter, tears and celebrations.

    He was very knowledgeable and guided us throughout the day

    Cant wait to see the final results

    Karl Adams Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Amber. I had such a wonderful day with you and Alex. From the excitement and nervousness as you were getting ready, to the tears when your dads saw you in your dress for the first time, it was filled with so many beautiful and emotional moments.

    It’s moments like those that make my job so incredibly special to me. Being able to witness those emotions and capture them for you to look back on is something I never take for granted.

    You are both such a wonderful couple, and it was so lovely to see just how much you are in love. ❤️

    Thank you for allowing me to be part of your special day and for trusting me to capture those memories for you both. I genuinely wish you a lifetime of happiness, love and laughter together. 😊❤️

    Amazing !!!

    We were so happy we chose Karl to capture our wedding he was friendly, responsive, approachable, and easy to talk to. We had a video call to start with which was very helpful going through everything we wanted and didn’t want we also had a complementary pre wedding photo shoot where Karl went through different poses which helped when it came to big day Karl also took the time to go through what photos we wanted and with who which was a lot and he captured every single one of them I was so excited when we finally got to see our photos they are amazing and couldn’t be happier with them thank you so much would highly recommend choosing Karl

    Karl Adams Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Sarah, for such a wonderful review. It really does mean a lot to me. 😊

    I had an absolutely amazing day with you and Fran, and I genuinely enjoyed every minute of it. I especially loved your Pre-Wedding Shoot, as it gave me the chance to get to know you both a little better. I think that helped so much on the Big Day, as we already had that connection and you both felt much more comfortable in front of the camera.

    I’m so happy that you now have such beautiful Wedding photos to look back on and treasure for many years to come. It was an absolute pleasure to be there and capture all those special moments for you both.

    Thank you again to you and Fran for choosing me to capture such an important day in your lives. It truly was a privilege. ❤️📸

    June 2026 Wedding

    Karl was great. I contacted him and from the first time I spoke to him he was professional & friendly. We had an online meeting with him before the wedding and then on the day it was very organised. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

    Karl Adams Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Jen,
    Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 It really does mean a lot to me that you took the time to share your experience.

    From our first conversation through to the wedding day, I always want my couples to feel comfortable, confident and completely looked after, so it’s fantastic to hear that came across.

    It was an absolute pleasure being part of yours and Mick's special day, and I’m so grateful for your kind words and recommendation. Thank you again! ❤️📸

    Our wedding 08.08.26

    Karl was absolutely amazing. There was nothing he wouldn’t and couldn’t do. He interacted with the children as-well as adults. He made us feel at ease and comfortable whilst taking photos. He worked amazingly with our videographer too. He was amazing with all our guests. If I could rate higher I would!
    Thank you Karl for making our day so special and capturing it all.
    Very much recommended for anyone thinking about booking Karl
    Matt & Jade Hiorns

    Karl Adams Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Jade for such a wonderful review! 😊 It honestly means the world to me to hear how much you enjoyed having me there.

    I had such a fantastic time with you both, your family and all your guests. The children were brilliant and it was an absolute pleasure interacting with everyone and capturing all those special moments throughout the day. ❤️

    I’m also really pleased I was able to work so well alongside your videographer — it’s always important to me that everyone can do their job without getting in each other’s way.

    Thank you again for trusting me to capture such an important day. It was an absolute pleasure, and I’m so glad I could help make your day even more special.

    Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness! 🥂❤️

    Amazing and supportive

    Karl is an amazing man who from start to finish met our needs and if we had any worries he was able to offer advise or solve them. He will do anything you ask of him and he is a great support to make sure you have the perfect day. We would highly recommend him as he is very good at his job and great value for money. 😀
    Thank you so much Karl

    Karl Adams Photography's reply:

    Thank you SO much, Charlotte. ❤️

    It was an absolute joy to be there and capture you and Matthew tying the knot. From your pre-wedding shoot, I could see just how deeply in love you both are, and it made photographing your special day such a pleasure.

    Thank you as well for trusting me and embracing all of my photography ideas—they worked out brilliantly! 😊 It was also fantastic to see all of your guests getting involved in the little games throughout the day, especially the "Chair Run." Even your DJ couldn't resist joining in for a photo... that definitely gave us all a laugh! 😂

    Thank you again for trusting me to capture such an important day in your lives. I truly appreciate it, and I wish you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter, happiness, and endless adventures together. ❤️

    Hodgson wedding

    Karl was absolutely amazing at our wedding on the 18.07.2026.
    His communication was fantastic throughout and he was such a pleasure. He made us feel at ease and our day was made truly spectacular. He has an amazing nature and personality and he captured everything we could have possibly wanted.
    We had a pre-wedding photoshoot with Karl and the pictures were perfect.
    Highly recommend his service

    Karl Adams Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kirsty. That really does mean the world to me. ❤️

    I had such a fantastic day with you and Gaz, and I can't thank you both enough for trusting me to capture such an important day in your lives. It was a genuine pleasure from start to finish.

    I absolutely loved all of the funny moments throughout the day too—they made me smile just as much as they will when you look back at your photos. They also made my job of capturing the very best images for you both an absolute joy.

    Thank you again for having me as part of your wedding day. I truly appreciate it and wish you both a lifetime of happiness together.
