Couldn't have asked for anything more!
Linus photographed out August 2025 wedding in Shaftesbury and we couldn't be happier with choosing to book him!
Linus replied to our initial enquiry really quickly and we were reassured in our first meeting that he was highly reliable and professional. In addition there was real clarity over pricing through his website as well as a wide range of previous work to look at, which made us confident in our choice.
On the day Linus captured so many beautiful and fun moments, featuring all our lovely guests and our pet dog ring bearer! His catch up with us before the day and calm presence on the day helped the whole thing feel really relaxed.
We also had the whole set of photos back less than 3 weeks after the wedding which was much quicker than we expecting for such a large, high quality set of photos. All our friends and family have commented on how wonderful the photos are and we are so happy to have such beautiful captured moments to look back on.

Brilliant photographer, excellent service and value for money.
Linus was extremely accommodating and flexible, taking a last minute booking for our wedding. We felt he took the time to completely understand our requirements and delivered amazing photographs, with a personal touch, which we are delighted with. We fully recommend for a professional service, and an artistic feel to the shots. Thank you so much Linus!

Incredible memories
From start to finish our day was everything we hoped for and more. Linus captured some absolutely stunning and magical moments that we hadn’t even appreciated at the time. Without Linus’ eye for detail and precision timing these moments wouldn’t have been captured. Linus ticked all our boxes and some and I wouldn’t hesitate to reccomend his services. Thank you Linus!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
