We have only glowing things to say about Paul and Nanda and their work! If you read no further just know you should absolutely hire Paul and Nanda, they are masters of their craft. Portfolios on their website speak for themselves so I will just say they are brilliant professionals to work with and very lovely too.
I was drawn in by a beautiful selection of pictures on instagram. I was hooked when I saw that entire albums had the same feeling - as they put it, they create warm and romantic narratives and take photographs that bring back the emotion and feeling of your special day. They delivered on that promise for us 100%. They go out of their way to capture little moments you wouldn't normally see in wedding photos, perfect precious intimate moments, and they do it without you ever realising they're there.
We are not people who like having our photos taken so this whole process of wedding photography made us mildly anxious. We didn't want to feel like we were standing in front of a camera, really at all, and with their magic, I didn't feel my usual awkward self once! Paul and Nanda were just wonderful, making us feel at ease, shooting us so naturally, just in our element, no fuss or direction. In fact I quite liked going off for a wander with them before we went for lunch, and for our sunset shots - just peaceful minutes in a full-on day. They were smiling all day and our guests were so complimentary of them for just being genuinely nice people.
We enjoyed our zooms calls in the months leading up to the wedding, we got to meet them and feel comfortable with them during those. Their warmth and kindness radiated through the screens and it was just the same in person.
I felt safe in their hands as soon as they'd arrived - they were the first vendors to get to the venue on our day. And I'm beyond grateful they gave me the courage to make the call to have the wedding outside, I'd been too afraid of rain. They checked all the forecasts and thank goodness I listened and had faith. We had a perfect ceremony on the lawn.
They ensured things were well planned before the actual day, understand our wishes, day timings and photo lists etc and we allocated people to sort those, so no one had to ask me question on my wedding day, bliss.
We wanted photos of pure joy and fun from our happy day. We wanted (us obviously, and) our guests and the vibe of good times to be the star of the show, and Paul and Nanda gave us just that in such a stunning way.
I can't believe we received an edited set of 100 photos that same weekend. I was also amazed by the variety of photos we received in our final 1000+ images, we had their gorgeous signature intense colour shots of course but there were also beautiful black and white images, and flash photos too. I wasn't expecting that when we signed up, such a lovely surprise.
We are glad in our decision to have a pair of photographers rather than a single person because one of them was able to go off and shoot different things/people, so we have captured precious memories of our friends having fun and we get to see bits of the wedding we never got to experience on the day. Personally for us that was a far better investment than having any else like a videographer, we love having so many photos of everyone enjoying themselves.
The selection of photos I've added doesn't do them justice in capturing the whole wedding party and as I wanted to respect the privacy of our guests and not upload their images, but just trust me.
