A big thank you to Adam our amazing photographer, you were brilliant throughout the day and evening. Not only did you capture every moment perfectly but you went above and beyond, I have had nothing but positive comments from family and friends about you and how you got stuck in and even joined in on the dance floor, I would 100% recommend Adam to anyone looking for a photographer for your big day ✨️

The Right Person for the Job 👌🏼

Adam has just covered the photography and videography for our wedding. although we have only had the sneak peak so far we are over the moon with the pictures already and couldnt wait to write the review. he was prompt and friendly, up for a laugh and nothing was too much to ask. He interacted well with the children and all the guests. Honestly a pleasure to meet him and have him cover our day. we just know the rest of the pictures will be as amazing as the first lot.

Brilliant photographer, memories to last a life time!

When looking for wedding photographers, we realised how much of a minefield it was. There are so many, all with different approaches and styles of photography. We wanted our photos to be traditional (without excessive editing), natural, and personal to us. When we first made contact with Adam, and having viewed his portfolio, we knew he was the one for us. Adam made sure he knew exactly what we wanted, and came up with different ideas about how to achieve the best photos possible. He was in regular contact leading up to the day which was very reassuring, especially given how stressful wedding planning can be. On the day, which again is stressful because nothing goes completely to plan, Adam made sure that the photographs were not one of the things I needed to worry about. He used the time well while I was getting ready to ensure lots of the ‘classic’ photos were taken of the bridal party getting ready and was creative in his approach. At the venue, and throughout the rest of the day, Adam was meticulous in ensuring he captured as much of the day as possible. Adam was extremely professional and integrated so well into the day – if he didn’t have a camera in his hand, you would have thought he was one of guests! This perfect balance of personality and professionalism enabled me to put my complete trust in him, which is so important when you want to just take in and enjoy the day. During the reception, Adam spent some time putting together a wonderful slide show of some of the photos he had already taken, and sent some others to me as well which was wonderful. I was overjoyed with the beautiful photos and memories already available. In addition to the above, I was extremely grateful for how Adam went above and beyond with our ceremony video. My nan became quite ill the week before the wedding and was no longer able to attend which she and I were devastated about. I asked on the off chance, not expecting him to be able to due to editing, if there was any chance of having a sample of the ceremony video for me to show my nan in hospital the day after the wedding. He managed to send the whole thing to me which I was astounded by, as he had been incredibly busy that day ensuring our day was perfect. My nan was overjoyed, and I cannot thank Adam enough for that. We have since received the rest of the photos and it made me so happy seeing all the beautiful moments Adam captured. It felt like the wedding was a long time ago so it was really lovely to be able to relive it all again. We have also had family members pass away since the big day, so seeing the beautiful pictures with these family members has been really special for us. I cannot recommend Adam enough. What ever you are looking for from your wedding day photos (or any event), Adam will do his upmost to deliver. His focus is on the customers visions and uses his creativity and talent to make this a reality. His prices are extremely competitive and he is worth every single penny.

Adam was our photographer for our wedding last Saturday. He was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Subtly in the background capturing those natural moments and then guiding us through poses. Adams communication was fantastic throughout the whole entire process and he made us feel so confident and relaxed. I would definitely recommend Smeatons productions. I will definitely be booking Adam for some lovely Husband and Wife photos. Thank you so much Adam 🤍

Outstanding person inside and out

Just wow!! We hired Adam to do photography at our wedding and I cannot recommend him enough, he was amazing from start to finish. The pictures are amazing, he makes you feel so at ease during the chaos! Anything we wanted or needed help with he was there like a flash ready to make sure we had the most perfect day. Even enjoys a little boogie on the dance floor with everyone! The pictures we’ve received are phenomenal, captured all of our intimate and family moments beautifully. Adam is super lovely and we loved spending the day with him! Thank you for everything you did and the amazing photos!
