Chris was a fantastic addition to our event for journalists at the BBC. Not only did he take high quality shots of the event, he also offered professional headshots for our aspiring journalists in the room, enabling them to have a tangible takeaway for their day with which they could update their professional profiles. Chris is very easy to talk to, accommodating and was fantastic at communicating with our attendees and getting the pictures we wanted.

A friend recommended Chris for a project I had thought of which was close to my heart. I had no experience with working with photographers or how to even approach getting the project I had in my head done. Chris reached out to me telling me that he was more than happy to work with me to create what turned out to be the best gift I ever got someone. He took time, effort and was so approachable despite travelling all over the place to his various projects - he was always just a text away if I had any questions and made time for me. I couldnt recommend him highly enough - he really took care of me and made my grandparents feel like stars. He brought his own ideas to the photoshoot but let me completely run with it, and was so accommodating and open minded. Hes a fabulous person and I will be recommending him to anyone wanting a photographer!

Nothing but great things to say about Chris.
communication: amazing & professional
photos: unbelievable & couldnt have asked for better snaps!
Thank you for doing our Graduation Ball!!! The demand was high for you to snap away, and everyone is beyond made up with the results. It was a pleasure to work with you and hire you for the evening and I would recommend you to events / people every single time.
The photos are professional, capture the fun and such high quality (and plenty of them considering there was around 338 of us!).
Thank you again and I cant wait to work with you in the future.
The BIGGEST thanks & the highest levels of recommendation for anyone to use you in the future.

We hired Chris for event photography for my sisters 21st birthday last weekend. From start to end he was absolutely fabulous, giving us a walk through of what he would like to snap first then allowing us to ask for specific shots we would like. He was taking photographs all night and we ended up with a huge album of amazing high quality photos to remember the night by. Thanks again Chris and would highly recommend you to anybody! Will definitely use again for events in the future.

Although he specialises mainly in corporate events photography, Chris agreed to take the photos for our wedding at Waterton Park Hotel.
We gave him a short brief of what wed like to be photographed on the day and the timings etc.
Chris turned up perfectly on time to capture the ceremony, organised family groups, portraits of the bride and groom and other candid and informal shots without ever being intrusive.
As we were away on honeymoon the next day, we didnt have a chance to view them properly until we returned home but they were well worth the wait. He captured the essence of our special day perfectly and professionally, leaving us with a photographic keepsake of treasured memories. Thank you Chris See less

We asked Chris to help capture some imagery for an event we were hosting at our office. As a business, we ordered catering, invited partners, suppliers and customers, as well as opened the event to other businesses on our industrial park. Chris arrived on time, was polite, professional, and took some fantastic images. We are really happy with the results and feel that he accurately portrayed what we were hoping to achieve.

I hired Chris for an event for my company in Sheffield just before Christmas . He came highly recommended by my colleagues and he really lived up to the recommendations. We liaised before hand and i felt confident in knowing he fully understood what i was wanting to capture. He was great fun while he was there but also extremely professional. The pictures were absolutely stunning! We were all over the moon with them and he presented the pictures back to me the following week.
I will defiantly be seeing Chris again for the future. Take care Chris!! ~M

Chris recently did some photography for my website and social media after being heavily recommended on Facebook. I gave him a really rough idea of what I was looking for and he went above and beyond to make sure I was getting EXACTLY what I needed. He researched my industry and checked my website to see what he needed to do and what I was missing. Thank god for him actually as I had over looked a lot of things!
Not only is he SUPER friendly but so easy to work with, very very efficient and a complete perfectionist.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
