Exceptional

Wow, where can I actually begin…
If you’re looking for a photographer for any special occasion this superman of a photographer not only delivers amazing photos but also has a utility belt like Batman, for all your needs on your special day. Little things you wouldn’t think of like a crochet hook, tweezers, scissors amongst other little items just incase of those mishaps that you may encounter on your special day. This special human just kept amazing me and my bridal party as he talked us through what would happen throughout our ceremony, Karl is more than just your photographer. Although he was our photographer he felt like a guest to us.
Karl thank you for all your advice your professionalism and your jokes.
In our opinion if you don’t book Karl you’ve made the wrong choice..

Thank you so much and everyone needs a utility belt lol. I had so much fun with you both, we have a great adventure on the day Off-roading and wondering how many clamps were going to be on my car when we got back lol but I had SO much fun with you both. You both are amazing and your Girls were super stars on the day :)

Thank you both xxx

WOW- If you book anyone else you're missing out!

Where do we start!
Karl went so far above and beyond our expectations from start to finish.
We had an initial video meeting to discuss our needs etc. Karl made us feel comfortable and understood.
We then had an engagement shoot and run through at our venue to enable us to relax more on the day.
Karl kept us informed along the way and only ever made suggestions, we always felt in control.
Once the big day arrived, he didn't disappoint, he was the perfect gentleman.
Karl was patient (as a saint with my family), professional, friendly, organised, flexible, reliable, and literally everything we could have wished for and more.
We had such a wonderful day and that was largely down to Karl. As he has sooooo much wedding experience, he was even able to guide our guests around the order of the day as the venue let us ill informed.
There were a few little hiccups but Karl was there at the drop of a hat with his bag of tricks to fix the situation.
He kept us calm, but excited.
We will be genuinely sad when we meet for the final time to get our photos.
The world needs more Karls!

Thank you so much. I had such a brilliant day with you both. All the little mishaps are just something to add to the amazing story of your day. Thank you both so much for being so much fun, it's rare that MY face is sore from all the smiling but it was after your wedding. You both are superstars, thank you :) xx

The Gartons

Without doubt I would recommend Karl to anyone thinking of using his services. Extremely professional but also friendly and approachable. Very helpful on the day and he mingled with us all and hopefully got some great candid shots too 👍

Effortless

Karl made the whole process from booking to the big day itself totally fluid and easy. He was always available to talk and answer questions, he was proactive in booking our engagement photoshoot and meetings and made us content that we knew what would happen and when. The day went without a hitch. Karl had a list of all the specific photos I asked for and made sure we got them all plus more. He was friendly and approachable to all my guests too and I had plenty of comments of how nice he was. We are very much looking forward to seeing our photos after our honeymoon.

Thank you both so much. I had the best day with you both. The time flew by while we were doing your photo's down by the lake. And you looked absolutely stunning on the day. And Tom scrubbed up well too. I hope you both have an amazing honeymoon and I can't wait to see you both again when you get back :)

Goes above and beyond

Karl went above and beyond for all our wedding photos. He's so kind and caring and it was great to have him apart of our big day.

Karl's Photography Centre's reply:

Thank you both so much. One of the things I enjoy so much about my job is getting to know you both. We had loads of fun at the Engagement Shoot and that really helped on the day. And I got to capture you both, very nervously go into being Mr & Mrs.
I had a great time with you both and of course Jacob. Thank you both for letting me be part of your Big day :)

York and Gareth, Goosedale 17.2.24

Very friendly and knowledgeable. Amazing eye for detail.
Flexible with appointments, and only too happy to help with any questions or requests. Gave us lots of advice for our big day, and was a huge help to us with letting us know what to do and expect.
The photos he did for us were exceptional, and we are so happy with them. He captured the day perfectly, and even knew the story behind every picture he took.
The outside photos were beautifully captured and he used the scenery brilliantly to make some amazing pictures of us.
We would 100% recommend Karl to all our family and friends, and anyone who would require his services.
Friendly, professional, punctual and excellent results with the album. We received an excellent service and so glad we chose Karl for our big day!
Thank you Karl for all your help and your amazing pictures!

Fantastic Photographer

I would not know where to start with how fantastic Karl is, So I will try. The sheer amount of effort that Karl puts in is phenomenal, communication was second to none and was always at the end of the phone or email to answer any questions that I may have prior to the wedding.
We did a Photography shoot with Karl for the Engagement and we loved every moment was fun and where we really got to know one another.
Onto the Wedding day- all I can say is how amazingly helpful he was with so many helpful hints and tips, from staying cool on a hot day to helping get us into our dresses, Karl could see how nervous I was and most defiantly helped put me at ease during the morning getting ready, talked me through everything, above and beyond. I really felt like I had a friend on the day and I can not recommend Karl enough, he is award winning for very good reason, so from one Bride to another book Karl.

Aw what a amazing review. Thank you both so much. I had such a brilliant day with you both. It was a hot one but I had SO much fun with you both and your guests. Whether it was grabbing adults for the bouncy castle or just out on the garden, everyone was so lovely and it made capturing amazing photo's so much easier. And you two were amazing, we got stunning photo's and had a hoot doing it :)

Amazing, professional and like a friend

Karl was unreal all through the process he has been helpful and kept in touch. He went above and beyond bringing extras to help. He also was amazing with our guests and did do many natural shots!! I have never been to a wedding with such a flexible and relaxed photographer! So to book the perfect one for mine was amazing. I honestly cannot recommend him enough. You will not regret him.
