Without doubt, I highly recommend Alan Duncan as your photographer. He is incredibly gifted as a photographer but is also really energetic, dedicated and adaptive. We had to move our date several times with Alan taking all the changes in his stride and with good humour. On the day, he was thoughtful, creative and friendly but most importantly took the most excellent pictures. Don't hesitate to book him, you won't regret it.

Alan responded promptly to our request to photograph an open event at our new residential park development in Kent. Due to weather conditions he was flexible to go on the driest/brightest day to ensure we achieved the best shots possible. Professional service and good communication - excellent edit of final photographs before supply with quick turnaround. Would use again and would recommend.

Great photographer, really friendly and easy going. Used for our wedding. Not pushy does things the way you want them. Got some truly amazing shots from our special day and it didn't break the bank either.
