WEDDING STORIES

Bride and Groom together at St Osyth Priory wedding
"John is just amazing. Our day was made so much more perfect just seeing him capture every part of it. From the moment John arrived we felt at home with him. He's an absolutely fantastic photographer and fantastic person who will make your day stand out. We wanted our day more relaxed and that is exactly what we got. He listens all day to how you want your day to go and delivers every thing and more. Thank you John from the bottom of our hearts for helping us make our day as special as it was"

"From start to finish John was brilliantly creative about his suggestions for our video and photos, and captured the spirit and style of our wedding perfectly. He put us all at ease, guiding us through what to expect and how to avoid the camera nerves. The end result was a beautiful package of film and photos that made us all cry (and laugh). We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend John for your special day."
