We want to thank you very much for capturing our wedding day. From our first conversation, we knew that you were what we were looking for in a photographer and from our pre-shoot photos alone, we know that we made the right decision. You were a constant reassuring presence through the planning through to the end of the night and we cannot thank you and your team enough for this.

Planning
You were always very responsive to our messages and questions throughout and made us feel like we could call you to talk about anything from photography to anything else that had come up - and your wealth of experience was demonstrated in how you helped us. When 'planning wrinkles' arose elsewhere, you offered suggestions/connections through your contacts and continued to reassure us that you would make sure that photography and videography were all in hand and didn't need to be added to the list of items we were stressing about!!! We enjoyed the process of collating images that we liked and talking through styles and ideas that we had. We appreciated your enthusiasm and candour here - particularly valuing your insight from having shot at our venue before. Throughout, your high standards of yourself and your team were evident. Looking back, this is something we appreciate even more, because it truly made us feel like our wedding was also important to you.

Pre-shoot
The pre-shoot was a great opportunity for us to begin to feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Particularly as two people who don't pose very often or naturally(!), the feeling of familiarity and the confidence that it gave us meant that on the day it was less daunting - particularly when there was already a lot going on. We were in awe at the creative ideas and amazing effects you came up with even then - it made it even more exciting to imagine how our wedding would be photographed (as if we weren't already)! It was great meeting you in person for the first time and we really enjoyed the afternoon - the whole experience built up our excitement for the day and was one of those things that made it feel like it was really happening.

Events
We cannot thank you and your team enough for everything you did. We liked the fact that whilst we knew you were there, your presence was subtle and unobtrusive. Throughout the day we would catch glimpses of you and your team capturing moments which we look forward to seeing and reliving. In the morning, with huge amounts of activity going on around, we appreciated that you were a voice of calm and used the opportunity for some solo moments to help us relax ahead of the big day. We also had such fun shooting with you guys for our couples portraits both after the ceremony and then in the evening during the reception. You all made us relax and laugh and your energy was infectious. You seamlessly fitted the photography into the day and encouraged us to use the time to appreciate each other, where we were and what we were doing and we can't wait to see the results of this in the pictures.

Team
We cannot stress enough how much we really liked your team - their personalities and professionalism were exemplary and we would have no hesitation in recommending you all to friends and family. We enjoyed spending time with you all - it was a bit like having 4 'bonus friends' on the day!

Thank you so much for everything that you and your team did and the energy, commitment and professionalism you brought to the day. We can't wait to see the results and share them with those that were there. We would wholeheartedly recommend you to anybody looking for a photographer to capture a special moment in their lives.
