Relaxed beautiful photos

Colin was amazing from the get go for our wedding. He is calm and relaxed meaning he takes lovely candid photos. I was really worried that a wedding photographer would be getting us to pose awkwardly for photos, but Colin was not like that at all! He put us at ease with a zoom call and from that moment we knew he was the right fit. Colin fitted in perfectly with our relaxed wedding, mingled with the guests, made sure we had time out as a couple on a lovely walk, and was right in the dance floor when the party started! We had an amazing time at our wedding and I really think Colin was a big part of that.

Absolutely incredible!

I absolutely could not recommend Peakography highly enough - they photographed our wedding last month and have been absolutely phenomenal throughout! From our first email with Colin, he was fantastically friendly, knowledgable and approachable, and we knew immediately that we wanted him to photograph our wedding. During the engagement shoot he really put us at ease and made us forget about how un-photogenic we normally are, and we got some incredible pictures. All throughout the lead-up to the wedding he was easy to contact and quick to reply, even when I contacted him with the smallest of queries. On the day of the wedding, he was utterly brilliant - fun to have around in the morning while we all got ready, but blending into the crowd when needed to capture the most fantastic candid shots of our family and friends. We've had so many guests comment to us during and since the wedding on how friendly and professional Colin was throughout the day. We got our photos back very promptly, and were absolutely blown away by them - they were better than we ever could have expected! We've spent hours looking through them and can't even come close to picking a favourite - they completely capture the essence of the whole day and absolutely radiate joy and fun. I know that we will cherish them forever. Thank you so much Colin, you're an absolute star!

I can’t even remember him taking half of them!

It asks what I recommend about Peakography... absolutely everything! Colin did our wedding photos last month and they are amazing! Before that we had a family shoot, again, amazing. Colin’s photos of the wedding day from start to finish are brilliant, I can’t even remember him taking half of them! I would totally recommend Peakography and we’ve already said we’re going to make the family shoot an annual thing. Thanks Colin, for everything! Marie, Mark, Joe & Jessica x

blended in with the guests

We initially found Peakography after requesting recommendations on a trusted Facebook group for a wedding photographer. We had an amazing response with over a dozen great recommendations; but chose Peakography after looking at all the portfolios, websites, and packages. We were not disappointed and would definitely recommend. Our photos are fabulous, we love them! The package included a lovely presentation box, and a slideshow plus all the photos available to freely share and download. Colin was great on the day; he blended in with the guests and got some great natural shots, and was there from the beginning to nearly the very end (a good 12 hours!). We would not hesitate to recommend, thank you!!

He really listens to what you want

Colin is an absolutely brilliant photographer. He really listens to what you want and interprets it into his own creative way. He photographed our wedding, and it was like we had a photographer in every corner of every room at all points of the day and night, but without you being aware him. I would recommend him to anybody

Honestly if you are looking for an amazing wedding

Honestly if you are looking for an amazing wedding photographer then look no further! As soon as we met Colin we felt at ease and he totally understood that we wanted more natural shots of our day. He spent the entire day with us from getting ready (even helping pack the car) until almost the end of the evening disco and just fitted into the day perfectly. When we received our photos we were absolutely delighted - they are stunning. Colin not only captured all the important moments beautifully but he also took lots of photos of moments we would not of remembered or seen had he not photographed them. Not only was Colin fantastic on the day but we received our slideshow, online gallery and usb extremely quickly. Thank you so much for all your hard work and for making our day so special

We (two of the most camera shy people in town) are

Thank you Colin and Rae xx Finding a suitable photographer was the job we kept putting off as it was the least fun bit of our day...or so we thought. Then we met Colin and Rae. They are so fun and chilled...and real. From the very first meeting we were put at ease and made to feel so comfortable. We explained that we were daunted by the idea of having a camera around us, and the thought of being asked to pose in a certain way just filled us with dread! Colin and Rae took this on board and were happy to work with us. No posing and cheesy grins! Everything caught on camera was real and natural and this really shows in their work. This was the first time we had ever been in front of professional photographers, but their down to earth approach made us feel so relaxed, like we were just out with some friends taking a few snaps of the day! We were just told to be ourselves and enjoy the moment and it has made for such fantastic pictures (not to mention a very relaxed Bride and Groom on the day) We are absolutely thrilled with our photos and Colin and Rae really went above and beyond for our wedding. We (two of the most camera shy people in town) are now even considering future milestone photos shoots with these guys. Thank you for everything C&R!! We are so grateful, not only for making us feel so relaxed with this very new experience, but for creating such an FANTASTIC wedding album that we are so proud to show off! Absolutely fantastic photographers, highly recommended! Mr and Mrs J xx
