The perfect photographer!

We can’t thank Rod enough for so perfectly capturing our wedding day. Before the day he was responsive and asked the right questions to ensure he met all our needs. On the day he made us feel so comfortable and knew the best places to get the shots. We had many compliments about how Rod was the perfect photographer, aware of what was going on (and making sure to capture it) without being overbearing or in your face. We couldn’t be happier with the final pictures, and would thoroughly recommend him to anybody. Thank you so much! Lizi and Will 😃

Fantastic candid photographer

Rod was our wedding photographer this August, and I seriously can't imagine anyone else taking our photos! We wanted a really natural documentary style of photography with limited posed group shots and he understood the brief completely. My partner and I spent an hour in the day taking photos on the streets of Brighton to make sure we got some cool and personal photos for us, and he was amazing and took us to some great spots. Aside from being a fab photographer, he was just a really lovely person and we all really enjoyed chatting to him throughout the day.

Most amazing photos for our wedding!

Rod was everything we could have hoped for in a wedding photographer... and more!

Completely unobtrusive but gave us all the direction we needed to get the most magical photos around the South Laines and on Brighton Beach.

Nothing was too much for him, and incredibly fast turn around with editing etc!

We considered tonnes of different photographers, and we were so so happy with him and all his hard work. A true professional!

Wedding photographer

Rod was fantastic and captured amazing photos of our special day. He was great at staging some fab group shots that were relaxed and fun and the same went for the couple shots as we had no clue! During the service, Rod was discreet, however still captured it perfectly. Would highly recommend Rod to anyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
