    These guys are incredible!

    Incredible is the best way to describe these guys. Me and my husband hate photos, we are not photogenic and having our photos taken was actually one of the things we were dreading the most. The way these 2 work together, making you feel at ease, no pressure, taking photos that most of the time we didn't know they'd taken. They're professional, kind, amazing at what they do, and they became part of our wedding party. The guests raved about how much they loved them. And just look at the stunning photos.
    Not only that, they sent us a beautiful, engraved presentation box after our wedding with a USB stick and small photo book, such a lovely touch.
    Anyone wanting to get married, pick these guys to be your photographers, they are so worth it.

    Love these guys - fab guys who are amazing photographers

    I cannot recommend these guys enough! Not only do they capture such gorgeous photos to immortalise memories from your special day, they are just the loveliest people. They were so helpful right from when we first enquired, through booking, crack of dawn engagement shoots and through the wedding and even after when finalising our gallery. Many guests at our wedding even commented specifically on how fab our photographers were 😁 Honestly I would give more stars if it would let me!

    Rachel,
    As you know, we are thrilled to have been a part of your wonderful wedding day. It was an absolute honour to capture the essence of your love story through our Bournemouth wedding photographs at Hotel Miramar.
    Murray and I are so glad that you appreciate the work we put into making your wedding photography as easy and natural as possible. I completely loved the opportunity to witness you two at sunrise over Sandbanks beach all the way through to your moves on the wedding dancefloor!
    It’s great to hear that our passion and friendliness shone through with you and your guests. We particularly loved how very personal your wedding day was and that we were able to...

    Tara & Luke 19/10/24

    I first met Tom at a wedding fayre and immediately loved their pictures and Toms personality, before even booking our wedding date I knew i wanted to book them as our photographers and they didn't disappoint. After we had booked our wedding date and arranged an engagement shoot with them, Tom put us at ease and the shoot really helped prepare us for the wedding day. The engagement shoot pics were amazing and this made us even more excited for the wedding day. On our wedding day Tom and Murray were so professional and friendly, they blended in with everyone and they worked tirelessly throughout the whole day. We have recently received our wedding day photographs and are blown...

    Tara - A heartfelt thank you for taking the time to share her kind words about our photography services! We're absolutely thrilled that we could exceed your expectations and capture the magic of your wonderful wedding day at Kingston Country Courtyard, here in our beautiful home county of Dorset.
    We're delighted that our initial meeting at the wedding fayre sparked a connection, and that our engagement shoot could help you both feel more at ease in front of the camera. It's always our goal to make every couple feel comfortable and relaxed, allowing us to tell the authentic story of their wedding day.
    We had an amazing time blending in with your joyful celebration at Kingston Country Courtyard, and...

    The best photographers for your wedding day

    I cannot emphasise enough how fantastic Tom and Murray were in capturing our wedding day. From the first day we met them through to completion of our wedding album, we were so chuffed with everything they did for us. We booked them before covid and our wedding was sadly postponed several times due to the pandemic, but they were so accommodating and helpful throughout. It was so important to us to have photographers that made us feel comfortable as they would be with us for almost the entire day and they did just that. Two genuinely lovely gents that felt like friends by the end. Having two photographers made such a difference as we were able to capture the...

    Phenomenal - do not hesitate to use them!

    Tom & Murray were absolutely fantastic! From the initial consultation to get our quote, Tom instantly reassured me that we were going to adore their style and service, as his friendly nature shone through. Nothing was too much trouble at any point. We had an amazing engagement shoot where Tom calmed our nerves and really helped us be comfortable in front of the camera. On the wedding day, they were a blessing. Ready to jump right in with ties and button holes or making breakfast, they really kept the day together and running smoothly!! Each and every one of our guests were full of praise for them and adored their laid back photography style that wasn't invasive. Not only...

    Mrs Harrison

    Tom and Murray are just wonderful. I am a human who absolutely hates attention and photos being taken of me and Tom was just excellent at grinding me down (in a good way) and making me feel comfortable. They were like extra guests at the wedding and everyone commented on how amazing and lovely they were to be around. I barely noticed they were there and they put up with a lot of awkwardness from me! If you’re after relaxed, not over posed and photographers that feel like your friends, Tom and Murray are for you!

    One Thousand Words Photography's reply:

    Emma,
    We are so happy that you loved our wedding photography service and your gorgeous wedding photographs. We work hard to help our couples feel relaxed in front of the camera and integrate into the day so that we can capture natural, candid wedding photographs. Your wedding day at Sopley Mill was particularly stunning and I would like to take the opportunity to thank you and your guests for being so friendly and welcoming.

    A wonderful celebration of our wedding

    Absolutely outstanding service. Very friendly and funny photographers that all of our guests loved.
    Tom organised our payments into manageable chunks, communicated with us regularly about ideas and engagement shoots etc. Tom and Murray were also incredibly accommodating to everything we asked - even our huge list of family photos.
    They were great fun on the day and the perfect balance of blending into the background and fitting in with our guests.
    The photos are outstanding and make me smile every time I look at them.
    Tom and Murray, sincerely, thank you.
