    Farmer Wedding

    In comparison to other photographers, Karl was incredibly competitive cost wise and offered numerous packages to suit our needs and what we were after. He created a bespoke package which was tailored to our requirements and was incredibly helpful on the run up to the day and of course the day itself.

    I would definitely recommend Karl to others.

    Karl's Photography Centre's reply:

    Thank you so much Joe
    I had a brilliant day with you both and it was a pleasure to watch you tie the knot and share your BIG day with you both.
    Thank you again :)

    Absolutely Amazing!!

    Karl was simply amazing from start to finish! Our engagement shoot was a barrel of laughs and our wedding day was simply perfect! Karl has attractive wedding packages to suit and the finishing items after the wedding day are stunning. Thank you so so much for everything Karl!

    If you are looking for a friendly, professional easy going photographer with a fab sense of humour, then Karl is the guy you NEED to hire!

    Karl's Photography Centre's reply:

    Thank you both so much. You two were an absolute blast—from the pre-wedding shoot, right through the walk-through and the big day itself.
    Honestly, you made my job so easy that I’m still wondering if it was real work or just me hanging out with two fabulous humans while holding a camera.

    It was a genuine privilege to capture your day in all the beauty (and occasional giggles) that you both so clearly deserved. I truly hope our paths cross again—and if they do, I already know it’s going to be a total riot! 😂

    100% recommend

    Absolutely amazing! We had a rough idea of the type of pictures we wanted for our wedding and he definitely delivered! Was very professional and friendly! 100% recommend! Thank you :)

    Karl's Photography Centre's reply:

    Thank you both so much. I had such a wonderful day with you and Reagan. It was so lovely to see you both before the ceremony — to share in those nervous moments and then to witness the pure relief and joy when the registrar announced you were married. What an incredible moment that was, and I feel truly honoured to have been there to capture it for you both. Thank you again.

    Absolutely amazing

    He is an amazing photographer so professional and outstanding. He did all the photos we wanted. He was friendly with everyone. It was lovely to have him part of our day

    Karl's Photography Centre's reply:

    Thank you so much — it was such a pleasure to be part of your vow renewal! From the moment I arrived, the day was full of excitement and joy, and it stayed that way right through to the end. You and your partner are a truly wonderful couple and so perfect together.

    Thank you again for letting me share in such a special occasion. I wish you both all the very best for the future — I’m sure it will be a bright and beautiful one!

    Amazing service

    Thankyou so much Karl for all your hard work, talent, dedication, support and guidance in capturing some of the most perfect moments on our wedding day.
    You helped us remain comfortable and at ease in having our pictures taken.

    Karl's Photography Centre's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kayleigh!
    I really enjoyed yours and Paul’s wedding — it was such a beautiful day. Admittedly, things got a little chaotic at times with all the photo requests and some of your more leisurely guests, but we still managed to capture some truly stunning shots of you both.

    Thank you again for being so open and willing to go along with my suggestions. It made a big difference, and I’m so grateful for your trust.

    Wishing you both all the love and happiness in the world!

    Brillent photography

    Karl joined me ont he morning of my wedding. Advised me what shots he needed and how we would get them.
    He helped with my dress when my mum was laceing it up and had all the tools on him even down to some scissors when my dress frayed.
    He was patient threw out the day with us and our guests even at testing times.
    He was professional and took all our wishes into consideration and took the shots we previously asked for on the day.
    We had a short break in weather where we was able to get outside shots with a drone and Karl rallied everyone round and advised them where to stand.
    I can’t wait to see my photos of my special day.
    A huge Thankyou to Karl for his patience because of that was me I’d of chucked the camera at my guests haha.

    Karl's Photography Centre's reply:

    Thank you so much, Stacey! I had such an amazing day with you and Simon. It was a real pleasure capturing all the photos you wanted and creating some new ones by making the most of the venue. One of your guests definitely kept me on my toes, but the rest were wonderfully cheerful.

    The weather may have been dire (thank you, Storm Amy!), but we still managed to sneak in some beautiful drone shots of you all and the venue. And Stacey, you were an absolute star. Even when your new hubby wasn’t quite as keen, you were always up for anything I asked — and because of that, you now have those stunning shots to treasure.

    Thank you again for such a brilliant day! :) xx

    Wedding photography

    Karl was really friendly and approachable he put us both at ease during our day I would recommend him highly for anyone looking for a photographer. On the run up to the event he was quick to respond to any queries we had and was super patient and talked us through everything that would happen so we knew what to expect. His services are great value for money and we were able to split the payments over the months on the run up so we were not having to pay in one go. Alongside the wedding pictures he also did our engagement pictures as part of the package and they turned out amazing. All in all I’m glad we chose him for our day

    Karl's Photography Centre's reply:

    Thank you SO much, Katie. I absolutely loved being part of yours and Will's big day. The weather may not have been perfect, but it was such a joy to watch you both go from the morning nerves to those beautiful big smiles as they announced, 'You are husband and wife.'

    It’s a day I’ll remember for a long time—thank you again :) xx

    Amazing! Highly recommended!

    Karl has been amazing right from our first call. Kind, caring and actually listens! He has made the process of booking a photographer easy.
    On our day, Karl was attentive and flexible. Working around family dynamics and the horrendous weather! He was snapping away all day and well into the evening but wasn't intrusive.
    We honestly loved having Karl with us and felt like he was part of the family and friends we had attending.
    There was never any pressure to book with Karl which was something that we really liked and he has been a calming influence for us both on the morning getting ready.
    Our advice is to just give him a call and have a chat!
    You won't find anyone better!

    Karl's Photography Centre's reply:

    Wow, thank you so much for such kind and thoughtful words! 🥰 It honestly means the world to hear that you felt so comfortable and cared for throughout the whole process.
    I had the best time with you both – even the wild weather couldn’t dampen the joy of your day! 🌧️✨
    It was such a privilege to be welcomed in like family, and I’m so glad I could bring a sense of calm (and plenty of photos!) to the wedding.
    Your warmth and trust made everything a joy from start to finish. I'm truly grateful to have been part of your special day – and I can’t wait for you to relive all those memories through the photos! 📸💛

    Mr&Mrs Fullwood 17.05.2025 Whitley Hall Sheffield

    We met Karl through a high recommendation from a friend who'd used Karl previously at a wedding,
    You just know when we started chatting online he was the right man how he reassured us how the day would go and what he would provide photography wise..

    Karl's Photography Centre's reply:

    Ahh, this made me so happy to hear! 🥰 I was so glad our first chats gave you that sense of reassurance – my goal was always to make things feel easy and enjoyable right from the start. I absolutely loved capturing all those amazing moments for you both and working with you. I hope our paths will cross again :)
