“Dear Paul

Just a quick note to thank you for the superb job you did for our wedding.

We are thrilled with the photos – they are fantastic!   You are extremely talented – your photographs have captured the true essence of so many people.  More than anything else, you have managed to catch the mood of the day which comes through in all your pictures.

Looking through the photos has been like reliving the day for us. I couldn’t imagine a better record of the day.

Our only problem is trying to decide which ones make it to the frames – there are hundreds we could use…

As someone who hates having their photographs taken, you also made the whole thing completely painless – in the nicest possible way, we hardly noticed you.

With our thanks and best wishes”
Mark and Kate

“Dear Paul,

Thank you so much for being such a vital part of our big day! It was such a pleasure having you as our photographer, we really couldn’t have asked for more. You have captured the day perfectly, almost minute by minute! Not only were we impressed but everyone else have also been blown away by your hard work, professionalism and humor! You really managed to put everyone a ease and capture them at their best.

Thank you so much!”
Mark &Sarah, Upwaltham Barns

“Wow – what fantastic photos!

Having just come back from our honeymoon we were more than excited to see the photos you took – and oh my god, the photos are amazing!!! – they totally exceeded our expectations!
You have an incredible eye for detail and have managed to capture our day in a way that every single moment of it came flooding back into our minds. Details, which I have not seen other photographers capture before.

The funny thing is, I do not even remember you being there at times.
You always kept in the background, yet managed to capture all the important moments and even the lesser ones, which make your photos stand out so much from other wedding photographers.

Thank you for all your enthusiasm and effort you put into capturing our big day.
We are both so very pleased to have chosen you.”
Veroinka & Gary, Hotel du Vin and Pangdean Farm

“Hi Paul,

just wanted to say that we had a good look at the photos over the weekend and they are fabulous, and exactly what we were hoping for. You did a wonderful job of capturing the day, the people, the food and exactly the atmosphere we hoped that we were creating, and you’re right – the street photos came out looking fantastic.

Eve’s favourite is one of the ones of her, Luke and myself walking down the street towards Embankment looking over our shoulders… I don’t have a favourite yet, just overwhelmed by the sheer volume of images.

Thanks again, Paul”

“Hi Paul,

John and I just wanted to say how much we (and the rest of our friends and family!) loved the photos you took for our recent Wedding.

The way you have captured the mood and spirit of the day was just fantastic, and especially evident through the stunning black and white shots. I love some of the natural portrait shots you have captured, they work so well to beautifully define our special day.

It certainly can’t have been easy herding the cats, so to speak, to get all the group shots done & to get everyone focused on you – and in particular to get my lovely groom John to have (a) his eyes open and (b) his mouth shut in the photos (a running joke in the family), but you managed it, and you carried out the whole process so smoothly and efficiently. And you definitely worked so well to stay in the background, so subtle and unobtrusive.

I can’t emphasize enough what a great job you did that day, how much we appreciate what you did and how much we loved the resulting photos – and how many of them there were! We would absolutely recommend you as the perfect photographer – your services may be required sooner than you think – my best friend and bridesmaid Kate got engaged 2 weeks after our wedding so now it’s my turn to be a bridesmaid!

Good luck with it all and thanks so much again x” 
Ali & John

“Hiya Paul

we’ve ploughed through the photos and we can honestly say that every single last one of them is ACE!!  you really caught everything we hoped for and more!  we’re already recommending you to all the single friends we have left!!

All we have to do now is track down a photo album that will do them justice!

Thank you once again Paul – you made our day even more enjoyable by the memories you have captured, you’re a star!!

with love

“Hi Paul,

We would just like to say how superb your photographs are of our wedding, you have truly captured moments that would have been lost, if left to just memory. We are still finding photos that making us smile and laugh [especially the ones on the beach – so chuffed we did that]. I think that the black and white shots have captured ours and other peoples expressions that really bring back the atmosphere of the day.

You worked tirelessly all day and we would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone that required an excellent photographer.

Thanks again Paul”
Gill & Neil 

“A huge and massive thank you for doing such a sterling job! We both love the photos. They are exactly what we wanted. You were brilliant!”
Annalee & Phil

“Paul put us at ease from the very beginning with several extremely well informed telephone briefings to help us plan out the formal photographs.  He has truly captured the spirit of the day from start to finish and we have the most amazing wedding photos to show for it.  The evening dancing photos and informal dinner portrait shots are outstanding.  Having all photos formatted in colour and black and white gives us so much freedom to choose the best photos.  We had 1500 in all and downselected (a hard job!) to 200 for our website.  I don’t know any other wedding photographer that allows so much freedom in both taking the photos and being able to do what you want with them at the end!  Absolutely delighted!’

“We hired Paul to take photographs at our wedding, he was incredibly helpful throughout the process and had some great ideas for his photographs which weren’t the usual dreary poses – just the ticket!”
Toby & Hannah, Hotel Seattle

“Paul did an excellent job of capturing the atmosphere at our wedding – looking back at the photos I always see something new that brings back a flood of wonderful memories. Paul first met us to discuss being our wedding photographer in a pub. This (for us) was a great start – very relaxed and informal. Just what we were hoping he would achieve for our wedding photos. On the day Paul went above and beyond all our expectations. Discreet at all times, he was able to capture some of the most intimate and personal moments of our day – without us even knowing he was there. Paul was able to confidently instruct large groups when necessary, yet also able to put the most shy and self-conscious of individuals at ease capturing our guests in a very natural environment. His attention to detail, picking out the most subtle aspects of the day is what impresses me most. The end result for us is a very personal, very treasured photo album that we are proud to show off.”

“Hi Paul

Thank you so much for being our photographer for our wedding, we had a brilliant day – and you played a big part in it. So many of my family commentated on how friendly you were. It wasn’t until we received the photos back that we realised how many you had taken and how good they were, and on the day apart from the posed photos we didn’t even know you were there but the photos are amazing as there are so many of mike and I and we didn’t realise you had taken 90% of the photos!! Thanks for a great day and we will definitely recommend you to our friends and family who need a photographer for the future.

Thank you!”

“Hi Paul,

We wanted to write and say a great big thank you to you, the photographs you took of our wedding are fantastic, we are absolutely thrilled with them. We are still going through them and taking them all in, and we are nowhere near selecting the ones we want to put in our album, that is going to be a very tough choice indeed! Our family and friends are now starting to look at them and everyone agrees what a great story of the wedding they tell, it really brings the whole day back to us. We were so lucky that the sun shone on us and we were able to have so many photos taken outside, even well into the evening, those night shots you took of Pelham House are something else! We also love the black and white shots, we think they somehow seem more classic and they will look great in the album.

The photos you have taken of the children are lovely, their Mum’s and I are particularly pleased with them.. you have made my godchildren look like angels.. no mean feat I can tell you!

It was lovely to have you with us on the day, you certainly were a calming influence a fact reflected in the relaxed nature of the photographs, we didn’t want stuffy, posed pictures and I love the way we all forgot you were there, it has made the photos all the more natural. You certainly were a hit amongst the female guests.. from the little girls using you as a climbing frame, to some of Mum’s friends who were actually heard saying ‘oh if only I was 30 years younger’.. I think you had a lucky escape there! Your ladders were also the talk of the day!

We will be in touch again soon as I know there will be some requests for re-prints and enlargements. But thank you so much again, you have left us with some very special memories of our wedding day.”
Paul and Lizzie, Pelham House, Lewes

“Paul,

Just a quick note to say how much we love the photographs from the wedding. I think it’s fair to say that they were just what we were after / hoped for and we have spent the weekend going through them over and over again and are both really excited by them.

We couldn’t have been more pleased with the results – what a great keepsake for our day.

The problem now will of course be finding 40 or 50 shots that we want to put in an album – our first estimate was that there are around 300 potentials for such a short list!!

Anyway, once again thanks bundles!”

“Hi Paul

We met at Rebecca’s wedding in Todmorden (I’m the father of the bride) and I have just seen the CD of the wedding photos. I think they are brilliant and show a great eye for catching the moment, it’s a first class documentary of the day. Your reportage style of photography is far more dynamic than the normal stuffy wedding photos and is the type of photography I always try to do but not with the same success as yourself.  I cant wait to get my DSLR!

Four of Becky’s friends have seen them and were very impressed. They have taken your details and would consider using your skills at their weddings (whenever that will be, Becky took nine years to decide).

Anyway, just to say thanks for doing such a fantastic job and wishing you all  success for the future.”
Dave Land, (Father of the Bride) Todmorden, Yorkshire

“Hi Paul

The more I go through the photos, the more I love them.  Now that I have put them all in order and chosen my favourite ones (managed to get it down to about 200 great ones), I can really enjoy them properly.  I just can’t wait to have them all in a (very large) album so I can enjoy them even more and start showing them off.”
Zoe & Conran

“Photographs are brilliant mate – exactly what we wanted and then some so well done. Every shot is a little piece of the day captured – lots of what we missed too which is great – nice to see what people were up to outside while we hit the dance floor all night!

Thanks for doing such a brilliant job!”
