Absolutely amazing!

Chris is FANTASTIC at what he does. He took time before the big day to find out exactly what we wanted, and went above and beyond to make sure he delivered. Friendly, approachable and filled us with confidence both before and on the day, Chris was discreet and snapped away catching so many precious memories that would have otherwise been missed. Turn around time to see the final pictures was really impressive and we have had so many compliments from friends and family. We can’t thank Chris enough and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a seriously good photographer for their special day!
