    Review from our wedding day

    We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer they were amazing from start to finish professional friendly and so easy to work with On the day Karl made us feel completely at ease which really shows in the photos

    What really stood out was their attention to detail he captured so many little moments we didn’t even notice at the time the candid smiles small interactions and special touches that made our day unique Looking through the photos feels like reliving the whole day again

    The final images were beautiful and delivered quickly we’re so grateful to have these memories captured so perfectly and would highly recommend them to anyone

    Karl's Photography Centre's reply:

    Thank you so much Emily for your incredibly kind words—it truly means the world to hear this. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of yours and Alex's special day.

    I’m so glad you felt at ease and comfortable—that’s always my goal, as it really helps bring out those natural, genuine moments. Hearing that the photos allow you to relive the day and capture those little details and candid interactions is exactly what I strive for.

    Your wedding was full of such beautiful moments, and I feel very grateful to have been able to document them for you. Thank you again for trusting me with your memories and for your lovely recommendation—it’s deeply appreciated. Wishing you both all the happiness in the world!

    Mr & Mrs Pettigrew

    Karl was very helpful through the whole process. On the day he rung both of us first thing in the morning and made sure we had both eaten and drank, gave helpful advice for the day, put any stress and worries to the side.
    When he got here he was cheerful, he encouraged others to get the energy flowing.
    The whole process from start to finish has been easy and he has kept in constant contact and if you had any questions he was always really fast and efficient with his replies.
    We cannot thank him enough for how he conducted himself on the day. Made a stressful (but happy) day more enjoyable and easy.

    Karl's Photography Centre's reply:

    That truly means so much – thank you 🧡

    I’m so grateful for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of such a special day with you both. I know how emotional and full-on those moments can be, so hearing that I was able to ease the stress and help you enjoy it all means everything to me.

    From the early morning check-in to keeping the energy up on the day, I just wanted to make sure you and Sam felt supported, calm, and able to soak up every second. You both made it so easy with your positivity and trust throughout the whole process.

    Thank you again for allowing me to share in such an important chapter of your lives. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness – and I’m always here if you ever need anything at all.

    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! 😂

    Amazing!!!

    We hired karl to take pictures for our wedding. As a same sex couple, it can be abit nerve wracking trying to find a vendor who fits your style, and eases your nerves. Karl was amazing from the beginning, and so incredibly professional. I couldn't imagine our wedding day without karl now. He really made the day go so smoothly. I would highly recommend him, and we are SO glad we chose karl!

    Karl's Photography Centre's reply:

    Thank you so much for this beautiful message. It truly means the world to me. From the moment we had your online meeting, I could feel the love and care you and Toni share, and being part of your wedding day was such a privilege. I’m so happy you felt comfortable and supported — that’s exactly what I hope for every couple I work with. Aside from the poor weather your day was full of joy, laughter, and so much love, and I’m so grateful I got to be there to capture all of those beautiful photo's for you both.

    Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together! ❤️

    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.

    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
