Report
We chose Peter from a shortlist of three photographers on the strength of his reviews and the galleries on his website. His previous photos looked like the best of all three. On top of that, as we were having a Covid-19 wedding (i.e. almost no guests allowed) we wanted a tailor made package rather than a full day's hire of a photographer. Peter was able to do this for us and for a price we thought was very reasonable.
On the day of our wedding, Peter was already at the registry office before us and had spoken to the staff to find out what was the position on the day. We started with photographs prior to the ceremony and during the ceremony. In addition, Peter was more than happy to come along to our house and take further photos there. We have both found the photos to be of a very high standard and we received 87 of them for what was a little over an hour and a half of Peter's time.
The photos are well taken and we are very pleased with them. They were also posted to us on both DVD and USB memory stick as well as being online. I can't recommend Peter more highly. Very professional indeed!

Amazing photographer AND videographer. Cannot get over this man's talent, Peter filmed and photographed our wedding in 2011 and I recently got back in touch with him as I am photographing my first wedding tomorrow and I called him to apologise for being so demanding! To say I'm picky about my photography is an understatement, as a very enthusiastic amateur and daughter of a semi-pro photographer Peter had his work cut out.
Boy did he deliver, his technical knowledge is amazing, he's quick and captures all the unexpected moments, he listens to you, he gently directs and has a quiet confidence about him. I was and still am over the moon with our pictures and video, all amazing quality, professional and we still have them on display 10 years later. Don't delay, book that man, he's amazing and will bend over backwards to record your day in the most phenomenal way.

Peter did our wedding back in 2012 and I still tell everyone about him! He was very professional yet friendly from start to finish. He had great ideas and the final product is amazing! Peter captured our wedding day beautifully. We highly recommend this company. I recently contacted Peter regarding our video and he was very helpful even after all those years.
