Wedding day 💕

We love our wedding photos! We chose Bearded man, Paul because we liked the style of the photos we saw on the website. Paul was great on the day, he captured some great artistic cool shots that capture the light and also some lovely natural ones of everyone together. Would recommend highly, thanks Paul

1000% would recommend

Paul is fantastic!! Highly recommend if you're looking for a photographer for your special day. He made us feel so relaxed from the get go with his calm energy, and chilled, but incredibly professional approach. We absolutely adore our photos. I didn't even notice him taking them and there's so few that are posed. The rest are all natural and he's captured some truly special moments.

Coolest wedding photos- what a guy!

We booked Paul for our wedding this summer and my word were we happy with the results. Paul’s style totally matched our tastes and his creativity and approach to photography is incredible. For what under the surface was quite a simple wedding, Paul managed to capture the quirkiness of our day and parts that made our day unique to us. We couldn’t recommend him enough! Thank you Paul!

We would book Paul again and again!

Paul photographed our wedding on the 11th October and he was absolutely fantastic.
We enquired earlier this year and almost instantly Paul arranged for us to have a video call. The call was professional, informative and you could really tell how lovely and friendly he was. There was absolutely no pushing or pressure to book and we were given the option to talk about it before making a decision.
From booking to the day of the wedding he hasn’t been far away and has always been easy to contact if we needed him. We had another video call about 2 weeks before the big day to discuss the run down, any particular shots we wanted and anything else we might need to know.
On the day, not only were we impressed but so were our guests. So many of them commented on how friendly Paul was, how he easily fit into the crowd and a lot of the time we had forgotten we had a photographer - which is exactly what you want when you’re both awkward and don’t like taking pictures. We felt like we had the best of both worlds, taking some amazing photos but also not feeling like we were pulled all over the place for photos and had chance to enjoy the day too.
The preview photos we recieved were amazing, we are so in love with them and can’t wait to see all the rest of the pictures!
I wouldn’t hesitate to book Paul again, and I will recommend him to everyone I can!
Thank you so much
Sammy & Matt.

Excellent way to capture the magic of our day

We booked him for our photographer and he helped to capture really beautiful shots for our wedding. He was friendly and professional, and had lots of ideas which really worked. He worked well with our content creator and this enriched both photo and video memories. We received the photos quickly and really appreciate his work. We would recommend him to others 100%.

The most talented photographer we have ever met

We had the amazing pleasure of meeting Paul at a friends wedding. His incredibly relaxed and gentle manner put everybody at ease and yet His photographs are both technically exceptionally clever and artistically stunning. We Asked him to photograph our Handfasting ceremony And the photographs are absolutely precious. My brother was so impressed that he booked Paul on the night for his own wedding. Genuinely, Couldn’t have asked for a More amazing experience.

Nothing but praise for the Bearded Man!

Paul photographed our wedding at the start of August and he did a brilliant job. Right from booking he was really responsive and his website is easy to navigate/understand. I had done a lot of research in to local photographers and Paul's work stood out to me, loved his style.

On the day of our wedding he arrived early and was a calming and (sometimes!) unseen presence around us. My partner is very photophobic but Paul was great at setting up shots and making us feel relaxed, nothing was too forced or unnatural. He was also very patient with our overtired toddler who was slightly harder work then usual!

Our photos arrived just shy of 2 months later and they were beautifully presented with a Bearded Man USB stick in a muslin bag. We don't even remember seeing him for some of the shots and he captured everything beautifully. My only regret would be not booking him for longer!

La Dolce Vita! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!

Knowing Paul and the work he has done over the years, I was delighted that he had availability to shoot our big day. Not only that but that he'd also agree to be dragged out to Italy for a few days to do it!

Paul was across everything in the run-up to the weekend with check-ins as often as we needed them and was always keenly interested in our requests and what we wanted out of his work.

Throughout the weekend he was totally present and there whenever we needed him. Keeping us calm when plans went awry with the weather or having a good laugh and striking up great rapport with ourselves and our guests.

The subsequent turnaround and delivery was first rate and we could not believe just how soon after we would be able to relive our day through his amazing photography. The results were fantastic and exactly what we wanted, so many wonderful photos and memories from the across two days that Paul was shooting.

Thanks again Paul!

Truly amazing

Paul is a truly talented photographer. He captured my wedding day perfectly and it was honestly like having a member of the family doing it, he made us all feel so comfortable, lots of humour thrown in to get those great natural looks. So quirky and unique, absolutely amazing! Could not have wished for anything more. Highly highlyyy recommended. 5+ stars 🌟 thank you so much Paul for giving me and my husband amazing photos we can treasure forever. Never stop snapping!! 😁

Very talented, highly professional and super chilled...

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was choosing Paul to be our photographer. He has been absolutely fantastic since our initial enquiry, throughout the wedding preparations, and on and after our wedding day.

Our wedding had a relaxed-vibe, and Paul did an incredible job of reflecting this in our photos. Paul was very present, but also blended in allowing us to relax and forget that we were in the spotlight! He spent time chatting to our family and friends, whilst also capturing all the emotion and best moments from our day... even the bits we missed!

We feel so lucky to have found Paul, and cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone who is looking for a very likeable, no-stress photographer.

Superb Photographer - Best in the business!

We recently had the pleasure of Paul being our photographer at our wedding this year and my goodness, where do I start!?! From the first moment we made contact with Paul, he was super friendly and knowledgeable and really listened to what we would like from our photos. With so many other things to think about on our wedding day, Paul made this part so easy. He gave great ideas and advice and was fantastic with our 8 year old wild child son (particularly on the day!). All of our guests on the day equally commented on how much Paul just blended in with everyone and nobody felt under pressure to strike an awkward pose nor did anyone feel that tons of times were taken up by "formal" photos. The end result was that we had a fantastic wedding with the best photos we could ever have imagined from our special day, all delivered with some super cute treats and Bearded Man merchandise! I cannot recommend Paul highly enough! If you want the best photographer out there Paul is your guy! Thanks so much for everything Paul. Lots of Love from The Southall's x

Same sex wedding

My husband and I asked Paul to do our wedding photos and he was AMAZING. He captured all the very special moments throughout the day. He is always there taking fantastic photos but blends into the background so you forget he is there as well. A super friendly guy who brings creativity to the day. We were thrilled with our photos and would totally recommend him to anyone. He knows exactly what he is doing and always seeks out the best opportunities for amazing photos. You will not be disappointed!

Best Day Ever!

We booked Paul for our March 2024 wedding. Paul was a true professional throughout and made us feel at ease, he is genuinely a lovely guy. Our wedding photos were better than we could have ever imagined and capture the day perfectly, thank you so much, memories we will cherish forever. Can’t recommend enough… A+
