‘Magic moments’ captured in the eye behind the lens.. yours to keep forever Cannot recommend enough! Thank you ☺️

To get the personal touch to an image, to really capture the essence of the moment, takes a personal approach. Peter has a genuine interest in life and I believe, this is how he manages to always capture those ‘magic’ moments…

Thank you.

Highly recommend Pete to do your wedding video, amazing service

We literally planned our wedding in 3 months, I weighed up quite a few photographers before choosing Pete, the one thing that stood out from the others was the candid-style, passion & editing experience, great with the guests & ability to navigate through complex family dynamics swiftly with fun. Couldn’t believe he went out of his way to help us at such short notice. Forever grateful, robyn

Amazing photos!

I hired Pete to take various photographs for me, and he did not disappoint. He was responsive, helpful, and cost effective. The style of his photos was perfect for what I wanted. He visited the shoot locations before attending on the day to understanding lighting, angles etc, which was all included in his price. Would highly recommend.
