Paul was the photographer at our wedding and he was absolutely incredible. He made us feel totally at ease and was diligent and professional. We had regular meetings prior to the wedding where he took the time to give us top tips and advice to get the most out of our day. We took his advice and this gave us the most time with guests, yet we still managed to get all the photographs we would like. We felt really relaxed around him and his professionalism and personality filled us with huge confidence.
We know our pictures will capture our day perfectly. Guests and family members also commented on his work and manner. We feel so lucky to to have had him photograph our day. Huge thank you again Paul! Nicola and Chris :

Paul was absolutely brilliant on our wedding day, making me and all the guests feel really relaxed and capturing some beautiful shots of the ceremony and afterwards. He was very attentive before the day itself, consulting with us as to what kind of photos we wanted. We are thrilled with the photos and would 100% recommend Paul!

Paul photographed our intimate wedding at the beautiful Glenapp Castle, September 2021, and we have been overjoyed with the results. As we were having a marriage ceremony with just the two of us, it was of particular importance that we properly recorded the magic of the day so we could share it with our family back home. Paul did a excellent job of this - he is a composite professional who knows Glenapp like the back of his hand, and took the time to get to know us and discuss what sort of vibe we were going for.
As such he was able to capture some truly special shots that showcased the beauty of the castle, the intimacy of the ceremony, and our love for each other. Thanks so much for helping us to capture such wonderful memories, Paul!

Oh my! How to possibly do justice for this wonderful team in a review? Well, the amazing pictures speak for themselves, but what is harder to know when you are considering booking a wedding photographer is how they will be on the day. Paul and Kathryn were an absolute pleasure to have around on our wedding day. Their experience was evident throughout, offering expertise and flexibility. I seriously think they would have kept their cool and captured amazing photos whatever delay/weather change/bridal melt down happened to occur! Thanks so much! You captured our day perfectly and it just felt like we had some extra guests with us (who happened to take great photos!)
