I can't even begin to express how elated we are with our family photoshoot pictures. I was so worried that our 2 year old would play up and not cooperate, but Barry was fantastic with him and captured beautiful pictures of him being mischievous, angelic, happy & curious. Thank you

I had my wedding photos taken by Barry. The photos were brilliant! I couldn't be happier, so glad that I have picked him to document our special day. He did an amazing job. He made me and my husband feel so relaxed, he took the photos without us noticing which was brilliant. He made the entire experience so relaxing with great outcomes.

Barry photographed our wedding on Friday and was amazing. Such a lovely, laid back man but very professional and his photographs are just stunning. Would definitely recommend and ask Barry to shoot any future events we may have. Thank you Barry. We love the photos you have posted and can't wait to see the rest!

Barry was great no pressure and his initial interactions were very organised and straight forward. The photography was for my sons christening and we told him what we wanted for the posed pictures at the end but prior to that he captured some amazing natural photos of our one year old and he also captured the humour of the ceremony. I cant thank him enough. Very modest about the service he delivers and was quietly working away in the background rather than dominating the event. Cost was great and results were brilliant

Our children bought us an Autumn Stone Photography experience. We chose to go to Dunham Massey. The whole experience from ordering, meeting Barry at Dunham and receiving the photographs was the most positive experience. The photos are great and were delivered as promised. I cannot rate Barry highly enough and hope we can have a repeat session in the future. Barry put us at our ease and the photos reflect this.
