Wedding photographer reviews
Honest words from real weddings
Wedding photographer reviews from couples who wanted natural, relaxed coverage and photographs that felt like their wedding day rather than a photoshoot.

“He genuinely felt like a guest with a camera who just happened to capture the most wonderful moments.”
Faye and Toby found me on Hitched just two weeks before their wedding, after their original photographer let them down. It was Jane Austen week, so Bath was packed, but they spent the day being themselves rather than being directed.

“No pressure, no awkward posing, just the decisive moments.”
Living on the water, we value the slow lane. Peter captured the grit and the soul of Braunston perfectly. No pressure, no awkward posing, just the decisive moments that we would have otherwise missed. The 35mm film shots are permanent treasures.
“With the right photographer you don’t have to sacrifice either.”
I found Peter when I was looking for a photographer for our intimate celebration but no one else met the brief. From the moment I saw his online gallery I knew he was the right photographer for us.
We wanted to spend the day enjoying every moment and not worry at all about getting the “right” photo. It turns out that with the right photographer you don’t have to sacrifice either. Peter is that photographer!
Before the wedding we had a call to discuss what we wanted from the day and logistics. Peter helped calm our nerves about having photos which didn’t seem natural. On the day he was there very early and spent the whole day with us. He captured the day exactly as we remember it.
He sent over the first few photos within a week of the day and the rest in only three weeks. I love every single one. Thank you Peter.

Calm coverage, real moments
The common thread through these reviews is simple: couples want their wedding captured properly without the photography or filming taking over the day.
I work quietly and naturally, allowing moments to happen as they happen. Family photographs and relaxed portraits are still included when wanted, but the priority is always the people, atmosphere and experience of the day.
