Everything we could have asked for, and more!
We opted to go with Studio Rochford for our wedding at Gaynes Park, having met Jo on many occasions previously at friends weddings. Having seen Jo's work we were confident that she would be able to deliver exactly what we wanted on our special day, which I can happily confirm she more than did.
From start to finish the service was faultless, with every detail accounted for and planned in advance.
As part of our package we had the engagement shoot, which although we didn't initially set out to have, I can now say that it is totally worthwhile. Not only did it give Jo a chance to work with before the wedding, allowing for her to see what kind of photographs and poses worked and those that didn't (valuable going into the big day itself), we also ended up with a lovely collection of photos afterwards, with one special photograph printed and mounted.
The planning and organising leading up to the day as previously mentioned was faultless (from essential details such as timings, to the dynamics of our family and friends and who should be photographed together), which resulted in my wife and I being able to simply relax and follow Jo's direction on the day, safe in the knowledge the photographs would be exactly as we wanted.
On the day Jo managed to co-ordinate large groups of people in an efficient and warm manner, meaning that time was maximised, whilst at the same time we managed to have such a wide variety of different photo's, all of which beautifully reflected the day.
The theme of wonderful service continued after the wedding, with us being able to meet with Jo and discuss how we would like the wedding album and which photos we would like to purchase. Throughout this Jo was great in not only understanding what we wanted, but also in making recommendations as to certain elements of the album, photo composition etc. which resulted in us having a wedding photo album we will cherish forever.
In summary, I cannot speak highly enough about Jo and Studio Rochford. They exceeded all expectations and would recommend them to any couples who are looking for a wedding photographer.
