Review of   You Look Gorgeous!, Plymouth    Phone: 01752254460     Address: 88 Royal Parade

‘You Look Gorgeous’ a photography company ran by Alex Smale has given me a disappointing photography service. He charged over J1000 for his services and did not complete his contracted agreement. My wife and I have been waiting for a Wedding Album, with photos of our special day since October 2009. After numerous emails and little replies and numerous unanswered telephone calls I have decided to warn everyone in Plymouth, planning a dream wedding, to be aware of the poor the photographic services Alex Smale has to give.

Value for money:		Poor - Did not meet contract agreements
Service & support:		Poor - Did not complete work on agreed contract
Quality:		Poor - Same work could be produced by anyone with a expensive camera
Location:		Poor

I booked this man for my wedding 3 years ago and paid him good money for a bunch of snaps that were out of focus and taken at stupid angles. He did not do anything I asked of him and it was a complete shambles - he turned up on the day, sweating and completely out of his depth. I would not consider him a photographer as he could not deliver and the photos that he showed me in his portfolio must have been somebody elses, because he did not take any at my wedding that were anywhere near the quality.

As far as I am concerned, he is a con man - he took my money and promised me he would take the photos that I wanted, (reportage style) and all I got were some cheesy snaps and I will never get the chance again to get married and have it done by someone else, he ruined my wedding!!!

Value for money:		Poor - He ripped me off
Service & support:		Poor - He didn't deliver what he promised
Quality:		Poor - Photos were rubbish - awful
Location:		Poor - Poor

Review of   James Rodden Photography, Leven, Fife    Phone: 07919141844    

Hi! If anyone out there is searching firstly for a fair price for this service then don't bother searching anywhere else! Jimmy was the ONLY person that emailed me back with more to say than just how much he charged for his services. When he came to visit us we were both perfectly at ease and took to Jimmy right away, then were able to get on with other arrangements and knew we didn't have to worry. The photos are really great but most of all what we wanted to a 'T' so, give him a call. THANKS JIMMY! love, Anne and Gary.

Value for money:		Excelent - Don't take my word, see what the rest charge!Jimmy was spot on
Service & support:		Excelent - Just Right.
Quality:		Excelent - Our photos of us and guests are what we dreamed of
Location:		Excelent - Location not a problem

Review of   Lime Leaf Weddings Devon wedding Photography, Exeter    Phone: 08454632039     Address: Trinity Hill

I'm so pleased we chose Laura and Henley to photograph our wedding. From the offset they were friendly, easy to speak to and great at keeping in touch which meant it was one less thing for me to fret about! Despite the awful weather conditions (snow!) they magically seemed to be the first to arrive everywhere, which meant we didn't miss out on any photos. They were so unobtrusive during the day we barely noticed they were there, which is great for camera-shy people like us, but they also somehow managed to get photos of everything that went on. We were absolutely delighted with the photos they took - they really captured the day and the mood and I still love poring over them when I have time!

What I also liked is that I felt like they genuinely cared about our day and what was best for us. They offered really good, impartial advice and were never too busy to answer all my questions. I feel like we've got great photos with minimal hassle and made some good friends into the bargain.

Review of   Arc Photos, Birmingham    Phone: 07976 360728     Address: 19, Yelverton Drive

I was asked to add a review for Arc Photos. Barry took the pictures for my sister's wedding, so I chose him for mine. He came to see us before the wedding to discuss what we wanted and met my husband at the venue beforehand to check all was well. He helped to organise all the guests and was really friendly with us and the guests.

We chose the Platinum package. The proofs were waiting for us when we came back from honeymoon. After a couple of months he was chasing us for print instructions. We just received the photobooks and prints and everyone is really impressed.

Value for money:		Excelent - A lot better value than other's we spoke to
Service & support:		Good
Quality:		Excelent
Location:		Excelent - he came to us

Hello there, my Husband and I wanted to let anyone know that if they require a photographer that is reliable to contact James. He visited us after talking on the phone and he listened to us. We had three people come to see us and yes their work looked very nice on their site, but the first things that they mentioned was how much they wanted for various things. That‘s ok but they didn’t even listen at first to what we wanted so how could they price something if they did not even know the full requirements? James listened to us, and worked with us, and on that day was organised so that we knew what was wanted and so did he. What made it better also was that his prices for what we wanted were considerably less than our previous quotes. I would recommend him anyday !

Value for money:		Excelent - Very good value for the standard of work
Service & support:		Excelent - Fantastic he even had us all laughing
Quality:		Excelent - Top Rate - James is a brilliant photographer
Location:		Excelent - The sun shone its was just lovely

I simply had to write to let people and yourselves know about this man James Rodden.

We had searched and looked and better looked for a photographer. Basically they all said the same thing when it came to price. I was fortunate. Price didn't matter to an extent, but they all seemed the same somehow when they visited us or talked on the phone - don't get me wrong, nearly all were fantastic imaging, but this mans passion sold him to me. He actually advised how to SAVE and what to do regarding albums and printing, and do you know?

I think that most photographers don't know that the public know about things like high street shops and online stores that provide made up albums for you and can do it at a FRACTION of the price, but James went out of his way to explain how special the wedding day was and how every one was special to him. After meeting him we were sold! To cut a long story short he was hired and I'm glad I did, to this day we look at all he took and all I'll say is this. Photographers who have been at it longer than him and wanted more than double for their services were given a run for their money. He did himself and US proud. Highly recommended - first class at an affordable price.
