Thank you so much for our amazing wedding photos! You captured the fun of the day so well & we love them! The only problem now is choosing which ones to put on the wall at home! You provided excellent service right from our initial enquiry & you never made us feel uncomfortable on the day whioch was great for 2 camera shy people. We look forward to working with you on the album however, again, I am not sure how to choose only 50 photos! Hope to see you in August at Vicky's wedding! Love Scott & Hannah xxx

What can we say! From start to finish, you gave us the most amazing service!! We were both so nervous and you completely put us at ease. It was amazing to have you as part of our day and it shows in the photos how much fun everyone had having their photos taken by you. You went above and beyond providing us the most amazing photos, far better than we ever imagined and now we can't stop looking at them! I want to do it all again. We are so unbelievably thankful and can't recommend you highly enough! You truly captured every single moment of our day! Can we do it again? Pretty please? x

Bonsoir Matt, Erm….where do we start?! Firstly, we are in awe of your job; being a wedding photographer doesn’t last just the wedding day but when the party is over, the rest of your work continues and we hold so much admiration for what you do for not just us but all of your other couples. We literally do not have the words to describe how we feel about these photos; they are everything and more. I feel like I am in a fairytale looking through your photos; they are magical, captivating and all round perfect. They are everything we could ever dream of to remember our day and the most precious souvenirs of the best day of our lives. You have captured moments we didn’t even remember in the thrill of the day and these have created even more valuable and precious memories with our family, friends and, of course, you. Through looking through our photos you aren’t only our wedding photographer but you were there with us to lend a helping hand, a guest, a friend (and a bouncer) and for that we feel so lucky. The raw emotion, love, smiles, laughter and fun that you have captured are next to none. The colours of the photos, the variety with black and white, the framing, just everything is magical. And don’t get us started on the highlights slideshow that you created... We cannot wait to share these with our family and friends; I think my new favourite question is going to be: “Would you like to see our wedding photos?!” We cannot wait to download, favourite, print, share and talk about these photos forever with these memories which you have created for us eternally. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And because three thank yous aren't enough in one language, here’s some more: Merci beaucoup, merci beaucoup, merci beaucoup. We are forever grateful for you; you are incredible. All our love and bisous, Caroline & Mathieu xx
