Phenomenal service, would book again!

Schmittat Photography was an absolutely phenomenal choice for our wedding! We chose to work with Moritz because of his excellent communication and the fact that he clearly knew exactly what he was talking about and was really willing and excited to work with us to make our wedding day perfect. On the day he was so impressive - he was punctual, organised, took all the shots we had asked for (and many more!) and stayed at the venue until late in the evening to ensure we had the whole day covered. All our guests have commented on how professional and friendly he was during the day, and what a great job he did. The photo and video quality are exceptional, and we couldn't be happier. Thank you!!

Incredible!

We hired Moritz to both video and photograph our wedding in July 2022. From the start of communication Moritz relayed a cool, calm and collected approach that is truly comforting when wedding planning. This approach carried through to the big day, even through hiccups that Moritz dealt with smoothly and barely to our knowledge. He put us completely at ease which is shown through his incredible photos. As for the footage itself - we were absolutely blown away. The photos were just as we hoped - beautiful and classic shots, as for the video - WOW! We have no words. The fact Moritz shot the video all by himself as well as taking all the photos at the same time is truly unremarkable; such talent. We are so pleased that we decided to book Moritz for our special day and have the most incredible footage/photos that we'll treasure forever. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Incredible photographer and videographer

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Moritz for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From the very beginning, Moritz demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a deep commitment to capturing our special day perfectly.

Moritz's professionalism was evident from our first meeting. He was incredibly organised, ensuring that every detail was discussed and planned out. This meticulous approach gave us great confidence that everything would run smoothly on the day.

What truly sets Moritz apart is his creative eye. He captured our wedding day with such artistry, finding unique angles and moments that we didn't even notice. Despite his creativity, he was incredibly subtle, blending into the background and capturing candid moments without ever being intrusive.

Moritz was more than just a photographer; he was a calming presence throughout the day. His friendly demeanor put us at ease, making the photo sessions enjoyable and stress-free. He was always ready to offer helpful suggestions and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and happy.

One of the standout aspects of working with Moritz was his extensive knowledge of our venue, Cain Manor. He knew all the best spots for photos and how to use the natural light to our advantage, which resulted in stunning images that truly captured the beauty of our venue.

Moritz was interactive and engaging with our guests, making them feel comfortable and ensuring that everyone was included in the photos. His ability to connect with people added a personal touch to our wedding album, filled with genuine smiles and laughter.

Moritz is a phenomenal wedding photographer who combines professionalism, creativity, and a friendly, helpful attitude to deliver exceptional results. We are beyond thrilled with our wedding photos and highly recommend Moritz to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated photographer and videographer to capture their special day.

Highly recommend!

Moritz is fabulous! He is so passionate, positive and enthusiastic and a joy to have around. He responded very quickly to any questions we had throughout the planning process and offered good advice about the day. He turned our wedding video around at lightning fast speed and we LOVE it!! Everyone who has seen it has commented on how great it is!! We can't stop smiling when we watch it back. Book him now! We spent a lot of time researching videographers - if we had our time again we would book him instantly!

Superb wedding photographer

Moritz was due to shoot our April 2020 wedding which we just missed out on due to Covid, we were devastated but Moritz was kind, reassuring and helpful throughout. We finally tied the knot this November and were so happy Moritz was able to photograph our wedding and was flexible and accommodating with our new priorities and budget. We are over the moon with our photos, which he got back to us super quickly! He was unobtrusive, pleasant and brilliantly creative with what was a fairly plain and hard to shoot venue! So pleased we have these gorgeous photos to remember our long awaited day.

100% Recommend!

Moritz was absolutely phenomenal! He captured our day in it's intimate, raw detail and produced videos that always allow us to fondly reminisce. We are so grateful that we have such a vivid and high quality representation of our day, it really is priceless.

On the day itself, Moritz was a calming and unimposing presence, he made sure to get all of the important shots without us really noticing that he was there at all. But it was also the little details, the shots of the venue, our guests, and the other embellishments that made our wedding video so special. Moritz really went above and beyond to make sure we received something that was unique and quality.

Moritz was extremely friendly, and very good at asking the best questions to produce the best answers when it came to our interviews and the messages from our guests, he made us feel comfortable and relaxed, allowing the camera to capture our true authentic selves. He was always open to our suggestions and willing to work with us, but had a wealth of experience and expertise which meant he knew exactly what to do without being asked or told.
We are so pleased with what he has created for us, and would 100% recommend him to anyone who wants to capture their wedding day in video form.

Everything we hoped for and more!

Mortiz’s professionalism and confidence combined with his easygoing and warm style made us feel really comfortable and in safe hands, in the lead-up and on the day. He was a lovely presence - subtle and hardly noticeable in the ceremony and proactively created spontaneous and natural portraits, as a couple, that we really enjoyed taking. Equally importantly, the photos are stunning. He captured so many significant moments of the day, going above and beyond to get the photos back to us really promptly. We particularly loved how well Mortiz captured our (many!) guests, with their characters and emotions shining through the shots. We couldn't recommend Schmittat Photography any more highly.

Moritz is really friendly and approachable, yet totally professional

Moritz took photos and video for us at our recent wedding and we were delighted with the
results. We have some very special and unusual ones that we will treasure. Moritz is really
friendly and approachable, yet totally professional and he got some amazingly relaxed, fun and
informal photos. He managed to be completely unobtrusive and we weren't aware of just how
many good shots he was getting of everyone until we viewed them later. Ever the professional,
he even managed to get a fabulous shot of an unexpected, and very high speed fly past of the
Red Arrows who went over when we were in the gardens! Moritz had taken the time to meet us
at the venue prior to the day so that he could get to know us and the layout/facilities. His fee
was very reasonable and included us being able to download all the shots so that we could print
any of them ourselves. He can also put together a photo book/album. We would highly
recommend him.

Highly professional, kind and friendly

We would not hesitate to recommend Moritz as a wedding photographer - he is highly
professional, kind and friendly. We had many comments from our guests on how he put them at
ease, and as a result we have amazing photographs that really capture the personalities of our
friends and family (and us :)) Moritz was a pleasure to have at our wedding and we are so
happy with the way he captured our day.

Schmittat Photography is very creative and professional in every way

I was extremely meticulous in finding a photographer, when I came across Moritz Schmittat I
right away caught on to his artistic approach, appreciation for photography and most importantly
an eye for capturing emotion.
If you are looking for photographers to capture the real moments, the best ones... you found it!

Excellent attention to detail

Moritz was very attentive and made sure that we got all the photos we wanted. He was
imaginative about the posed photographs without being pushy or overbearing. He was punctual
and had excellent attention to detail. He made the effort to have meetings with us in a way and
at a time that was convienient to us. He had the photographs ready within 10 days of the
wedding.
