Testimonials: What clients say about my photography
“Paul took amazing photos of our wedding, which allowed us to relive every magical moment of the day. His photos caught each part of our magical day and they were so natural. Paul managed to catch the moments of the day, which no-one else did. We would definitely recommend Paul - He was amazing.”
“We are thrilled with the photos Paul took on our family photo shoot on the beach. We love the natural style of the pictures and just had fun on the beach almost forgetting photos were being taken. Paul put us at ease right from the start, making a few suggestions at times but for most of the time we just acted naturally. Paul’s gentle manner around the children meant they were completely comfortable so their smiles were from the heart. The photos really are an accurate reflection of the fun we were having. My favourite shot, which now hangs proudly in our home, brings such a smile to my face remembering the moment. My husband kept the fire going whilst my son quizzed me on Harry Potter and my daughter cuddled up to keep warm. I’m so pleased these special moments have been captured to treasure forever.”
