Super talented photographer!

Joab was such an unbelievable photographer. He went above and beyond to capture perfect moments on our day. He has a great eye for using the scenery and light to create the most unreal photographs. He really took on board our concepts and made the experience very personal. We are beyond grateful and so pleased with all our photographs. Thank you Joab!

Words cannot express how much we love our wedding photos. You captured the day so beautifully and naturally. You really listened to what was important to us and we knew from the beginning that we had made the right choice. Your work is truly magical.'

Joab was excellent in every capacity...

Joab was excellent in every capacity - he was approachable and communicative during the booking process. He made the effort to arrive the night before to familiarise himself with the venues. On the day he managed to be in the right place at the right time and marshalled people well without ever being pushy. Several guests commented what a pleasant guy he was and we have to agree. The end result was over 500 stunning photos that captured the mood of the day perfectly. Strongly recommended.

From the start Joab was friendly, interested and full of helpful advice. Even after our photographs were planned around our day, he didn't bat an eyelid when I emailed him to completely change the plan around a surprise booked for my husband to be. On the day itself he was excellent, our guests commented on how you barely noticed he was there and his style of photography was just perfect for us. Having received our photos bang on schedule we could not be happier with the way he captured our day

I said to my wife the other day that we'll have to think of ways to keep Joab in our lives as I'm sad I won't see him again! His friendliness and natural style of photography was perfect. He did not get in the way at all and his style of photography allowed us to enjoy our day and interact with guests without having to pose for photos and feel like we were getting dragged about. Joab would just slip into the background but there was no need to worry, because the photos produced are incredible.

From start to finish...

From start to finish, Joab was absolutely faultless. Right from the initial meeting to the final photos, Joab was an absolute dream to work with. He delivered exactly what we wanted and more - capturing all those moments that made our wedding day one to remember. The amount of compliments we received from guests especially, acts as a real testiment to Joab's ability to blend in on the big day itself - something I think is incredibly important in a wedding photographer.

From start to finish...

From start to finish, Joab provided a professional and first class service. The biggest day of our lives and you want to feel at ease and that’s exactly how Joab makes you feel. Joab’s ability to capture every moment, made us feel special and looking back at the pictures he didn’t miss a single moment! His energy and passion comes across in the photos and he captured so many amazing pictures. Joab is highly reliable and talented photographer and we would recommend him to anyone.

Joab was absolutely perfect from start to finish! we felt reassured from the off set after being recommended him by work colleagues, and he made us feel extremely comfortable and excited about our special day! his style of work really suited us and our venue and we really couldnt have asked for anything better. one of the best compliments was how many people asked for his number afterwards and want him at their own future weddings! we couldnt be happier with his results!

Joab was friendly...

Joab was friendly and knowledgeable from the moment we made first contact all the way through the planning, the wedding and then after. His style was exactly what we were after and takes fantastic natural-looking shots and great images of our guests and the venue. He was totally professional throughout and went along with exactly what we wanted to do. He helped organise some shots and then left the rest to us. Me and my wife would recommend Joab to anyone and we couldn't have asked for better!

I was slightly sceptical of how much photos would mean to us. Joab proved me totally wrong. His photos didn't just show the day as a series of pictures, somehow he captured the entire feeling and movement that made our day so special. He portrayed the joy, emotion and particularly the atmosphere created by differing environments and lighting remarkably. He was there when needed and invisible when required, all the time taking shots that captured everything. We simply can't praise him enough.
