Amazing experience

We stumbled across Rob/Shot by Rutley on Instagram quite a long time before our wedding and were instantly drawn to his editing style and overall vibe, which was exactly how we imagined our ideal photography to be, we didn't even consider anyone else from then on. Rob was brilliant from the start, showed genuine enthusiasm for our day and was very flexible and accommodating when we made some big changes, including date, location and venue! On the day, Rob and Amy were both amazingly professional as well as warm and friendly. We hate having photos taken but we were both put at ease and felt comfortable, it was like having two extra friends at our wedding. We're so happy with our photographs and know we made the right choice with Rob and Amy.

An angel❤️

Rob was fantastic from first enquiry until receiving our photos. We instantly clicked with his dark and moody styling of photos and he did not disappoint with the finished product. We had to have a change of wedding venue and date and despite him having a little one born close to the new date, he didn't bat an eyelid at swapping things around to be there for us. He fit in extremely well with every guest at our wedding and was more like a friend than someone we had hired for the day. We clicked with him really well and he's just got a lovely aura about him. A really good, decent bloke with a fantastic eye for photography.

Everything we wanted and more!

Rob was our favourite to shoot our wedding out of a few photographers, his work was incomparable to anything else we’d seen!
We wanted rustic, vintage-esque, somewhat candid but yet still traditional somehow.
Rob delivered all this and more!
Not only were the photos incredible but his demeanour on the day was beautiful. Professional, directive and even calming.
Even when the day had its stressful moments, Rob was able to bring the focus back to day and have us smiling again.
We would recommend Rob for any event of any kind!
Thank you Rob for the most amazing photographs we could ever ask for!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
