Photos are beautiful, humorous and pieces of Art

Adam was an absolute delight to work with- the initial conversations about what we wanted from our wedding photos was relaxed and he understood what we wanted (which was basically his amazing candid photographs we saw on his social media). On the day, Adam was brilliant- you don't even realise he is there taking the photos- and he was there until the bitter end. When we received the photos we were blown away- the photos are beautiful, humorous and pieces of Art in their own respect.

We really appreciated Adam's support...

We really appreciated Adam's support and guidance in the build up to the wedding which included popping in on him for a brew and lots of email and phone calls. He was quick to respond to any queries we had which was really reassuring. On the day itself he was brilliant, he blended seamlessly into our day and, to be honest, we didn't even notice he was there but he managed to capture the moments and heart of the day perfectly. He is a charming guy and we highly recommend him.

Could not have asked for a better photographer from start...

Could not have asked for a better photographer from start to finish he was amazing. Dressed smart blended in took amazing photographers. We felt at ease him taking photos of us. My family saw the photos many of which said I don't remember him taking that picture that's why he can get the best natura pictures.

Adam was excellent from start to finish...

Adam was excellent from start to finish. He is effortlessly easy to get along with and having someone we could have a real conversation with and who showed he cared was massively important to us. The quality of Adam's work was clearly second to none from our research and he did not dissappoint. We spent hours and hours looking through our photos and slideshow which perfectly picked independent music by Adam. Adam's work told the perfect story of our most special day.

Adam was a fantastic wedding photographer...

Adam was a fantastic wedding photographer. Every step along the way he was professional and classy, from his website and our initial Skype call to the packaging and photos he sent us. We loved Adams relaxed attitude and the way he fitted everything around our day, timings venue etc. Having now received our photos and slideshow (great idea to share quickly the experience with friends and family) we are thrilled with the way he captured the spirit of the day.

I work in photography...

I work in photography, so choosing our wedding photographer was not an easy task. Adam understood exactly what we were looking for - discretion, documentary" style photography a sense of humour capturing the soul of the day without it feeling forced and always a smile on his face with a knack for consistently being in the right place at the right moment. A lot of people say the same thing but Adam is a real gem!"

Adam's photography really is one of a kind...

Adam's photography really is one of a kind and cannot be compared to anything else out there. His ability to really tell the story of your wedding through images is just second to none. His editing style and method of actually capturing your wedding day is completely unique. We didn't even realise he was there on out wedding day and we now have an album of truly stunning photographs which we will treasure.

Adam is quite simply amazing...

Adam is quite simply amazing. I could 100% recommend him to anyone and guarantee they would not be disappointed. His quick correspondence and communication from day one, up until the wedding was first class. On the day I didn't even notice Adam (a good thing considering I hate having my picture taken!) However when we received our pictures, you would think we had 5 photographers, the pictures are OUTSTANDING, Adam truly captured the pure emotion of the day and for that we can't thank him enough!

Adam's unique formal approach to photography truly captured...

Adam's unique formal approach to photography truly captured the best day of our lives, documenting the story from start to finish. Every time we view our pictures we relive the emotion and discover new aspects of the day. His unobtrusive nature meant we never noticed him yet he managed to capture such intimate, real moments as they happened. Adam is a great guy (everyone loved him!) - service and communication was impeccable and the final product received was excellent and beautifully presented.

Adam was the perfect photographer for us...

Adam was the perfect photographer for us. He was non-intrusive, super friendly and helpful, and the photos captured the mood of the wedding perfectly. We had a great time reviewing the photos and reliving the day and in the buildup to the wedding right through to the day we receiving our final photo delivery, he was extremely easy to work with and accommodating. We're really glad we found him. Photos were amazing!
