Bride embraces groom after being pronounced married at Farnborough Cathedral

Gabbi & Karl

Photo by Tori Deslauriers

Dear Tori, Thank you, thank you, thank you! We love all the photos. You captured so many beautiful moments and it's such a wonderful reminder of a special day. The pictures were just in the style that we wanted; capturing people enjoying all aspects of the day rather than lots of posted shots which show who was at our wedding but not showing the mood or atmosphere of the event. We really love the pictures and look forward to reliving our wedding day many times over in the years to come. Thank you again for such an amazing collection. Love from Gabbi & Karl xxx

Sorrento wedding image of the ceremony kiss in Italy

Katy & Steve

Photo by Kate Hampson

Darling Kate, Your warm personality and comforting smiley face put me at ease straight away. You oozed confidence and were very supportive in what results we were looking to achieve. Your totally chilled attitude relieved any anxieties that I had. As this was the only time I needed a photographer, I didn't know what to expect. I wondered what you would look out for on the day and how you would know to capture all those important, natural photos. For your own wedding, you want it to be perfect and for your photos to tell a story. You had planned sunset photos and surprised us with locations that you had researched that we had never thought of. You just knew exactly where to be to capture all those special moments. You made us feel completely relaxed and I hardly knew you were there. When the photos came though, we were completely blown away with the level of detail and how natural the photos were. You had even taken the time to capture photos of Italian life in the town of Sorrento which was a lovely surprise and added to our already wonderful memories. You are the most likeable, warm, funny and cool person I'll ever meet and you brighten up any room! The little tips you gave us on our wedding day for the best looks have stayed with me. The wedding photos told a beautiful story of the day from start to finish and this is something that will stay with us forever.
