Professional Testimonial
Another different thank you on our work. Again its always good to know how you compare to your competitors:
Many thanks Katy, a fab Bride & Groom always helps :)
Tony Tony Tony…
They are absolutely amazing!!! We LOVE them completely! They capture every aspect of our day, which is what I dreamt of, I can’t wait to share them with everyone. Despite the fact they are of our wedding (so I’m a little biased) they are the best wedding pictures I’ve ever seen, you are very talented indeed. It makes the whole day seem real again after it all being such a whirlwind and we can relive every minute of it, they are truly magical! I look forward to receiving the pack and working on weddings with you in the future.
Congrats to you and thanks again!
Kind Regards,

Hi Tony,
I hope you are well.
I am just contacting you as I have just seen an album of your work after the wedding you did last year (19/5/10). It is absolutely fantastic – one of the best we have seen, so I wondered if you would like us to recommend you?

‘I have continued to develop my modern style of wedding photography to ensure I stay ahead of the more regular wedding photographers.
Last year has seen one of the lowest years for weddings nationally and to keep business levels high during this time you need to differentiate
yourself from your competition and I do this by having, and continually developing, a very distinct style with a very high level of competency.
Every wedding, whether it is 30 or 300, Saturday or a weekday, receives the same attention to detail and I am always looking for the next ‘killer shot’.
Contemporary work requires a lot of creativity to produce something that will jump out of the page or off the wall. Essentially I am looking at the
Contemporary work requires a lot of creativity to produce something that will jump out of the page or off the wall. Essentially I am looking at the
same sort of image that would make a newspaper headline. General photography skills are not enough, it has to be dynamic and
make the viewer stop and look.
Mixing modern styles with older venues is always a real challenge but allows me to get a very new twist on classic settings with a different viewpoint.
Mixing modern styles with older venues is always a real challenge but allows me to get a very new twist on classic settings with a different viewpoint.
I am not scared to move out of the normal comfort zone, having placed brides on windowsills, using architecture to increase dynamics, and even a
plasma TV screen as a background to a bride.
I look for light all the time and love any source of good light. I am just as happy shooting into strong sunlight if it produces the result I am after, as using
a swinging pendant lamp to get something more direct and controlled at the right moment. I often use a professional video light for effect even though I shoot stills.
People these days are looking for something different that compliments the modern lifestyles that couples are now demanding. No wedding is a
People these days are looking for something different that compliments the modern lifestyles that couples are now demanding. No wedding is a
regular job to me and I strive at every wedding to shoot new ideas and different interpretations of poses and lighting, even if I have been there many
times before.
The critical parts to my work are the lighting, the concept and the design of the image, this is what will produce dynamic images that stand out from the rest
and allow me to produce a very different product to our competitors.
There are many photographers out there, which becomes a minefield for customers wishing to book a photographic service and the awards and qualifications of the British Institute of Professional Photographers helps photographers rise above this and show people the true quality
