A ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience

Xanthe was the definition of lovely and professional right from the start. She made time to come see us at our venue prior to the wedding to get familiar with it and chat to us. On the day she was punctual, bubbly, and took all of the photos we could ever want from our special day. Our guests pointed out several times how lovely and friendly our photographer was. The final photos are great and they were delivered much quicker than expected. Can’t recommend enough. Thank you Xanthe!

Fantastic photos and great value for money

Xanthe did a brilliant of of taking our wedding photos. We went for the £200 package as we were having a registry office ceremony and that suited us perfectly. Xanthe took some brilliant photos during the ceremony and afterwards and really captured our personalities and the fun we were having to a T. She was unobtrusive in the ceremony, I forgot she was there, and she got lots of lovely natural photos of us. She was very organised for the group shots without being pushy and made it a pleasure to arrange ourselves without pressure whilst making sure the photos were well balanced and looked great. We got all the shots we wanted and more! A perfect record of a perfect day.

Fantastic photos!!

I booked with Xanthe as I loved her photos and her photography style. She was lighthearted, professional and made me feel at ease throughout the whole day. She sent over the photos and they’re absolutely beautiful.
Highly recommend!

So in love with our photos!!

For our 1 year wedding anniversary we decided to take the opportunity to have some more portraits done in our wedding attire. Having the time without being rushed to take lots of photos in different styles was so lovely and we now have more gorgeous shots to add to our collection! Xanthe was fantastic from start to finish, the communication was great, she put us at ease the whole way through taking the photos and as for the results.. wow. We are blown away and so in love with them! Thank you for helping us create memories for a lifetime.
