Ed was OUR ultimate wedding photographer

Back in March, we had the pleasure of having Ed photograph our wedding in the New Forest. Throughout the experience he was the ultimate professional and put us (especially my now-husband) at ease across the entire process. The photographs are absolutely stunning - nothing was done for the sake of being done, and every shot brought a subtlety, intimacy, and realism to the event that I don't think many people are able to capture. This style captured the way Ed worked as well - he was always present, always available, but never over-bearing in his demands and was masterful in allowing us to enjoy our day without becoming a nuisance (as I know some photographers can be).

We can't thank Ed enough for his role in our day and would recommend him to anyone who had an upcoming wedding. Thank you, Ed :)

We are so happy we found him! Just perfect!

Myself and my new husband chose Ed from the moment we met him, he was so professional and down to earth, and just a really lovely guy!
On our wedding day he went above and beyond getting the perfect photos for us, from getting ready to the first dance. Myself and my husband often feel quite uncomfortable having our photo taken however Ed made us feel at ease, as well as his humourous nature, he made it fun! When we met Ed after the wedding to recieve our photos they were in the most beautiful wooden box, he had thought of every special detail, and as soon as I saw them I couldn't hold in the happy tears, he captured every moment, even some I'd already forgotten, they brought back every magical, special memory of our special day, still even now I get happy tears when I look at them!
We really cannot recommend him enough for being so lovely and his special talent, and for capturing our day, we are over the moon we found him!
Thankyou, thankyou so so much to Ed, and we look forward to using him again for future photos we may be after!

Wedding day perfection!

From the moment we met Ed, when he visited our house to introduce himself and discuss package options, we felt extremely comfortable that we had chosen the right person to photograph our wedding.

Nothing was too much trouble and the pre-shoot, included in the price, to get some ideas of the shots we would like on they day was a fabulous little addition. All communication was professional and structured, allowing for a much smoother transitions on the day.

During the day he liaised with the venue and best man, so as not to bother us for organisation, allowing to us to enjoy our day to the fullest. He blended seamlessly into the background and half the time we didn’t know he was even there, taking candid natural shots of our guests (which has led to some hilarious photos too!)

We couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome and Ed visited our home a few weeks after the wedding and presented us with all the photos in Black & White, Colour and 3 small videos he had created on a USB stick for us to keep, along with a large wedding group photo.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND ED, TO ANYONE WANTING A KIND, POLITE AND ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL GENTLEMAN, TO CAPTURE YOUR DAY.

Perfect in every way

Ed was perfect in every way. From start to finish he was amazing. The photographs captured our day perfectly. He was very noninvasive, even though there was only 6 of us. Pre-engagement photos meant we were relaxed and at ease before the day even started.

Ed was brilliant! It was a pleasure to share the day with him. Communication before the wedding was perfect and it was great to get the know him. The photos are amazing and we're thrilled with them, as well as the presentation box. Thank you so much Ed, I'll definitely be in touch when we need another photographer! Thank you, Emma & Anthony

Perfect for our wedding day

Ed photographed our wedding. We wanted a very informal feel to our day and thats exactly what Ed gave us. There were a handful of formal photos, but most were us and our guests enjoying the day and each others company. There was the odd moment where I knew would be a bit 'different' in the service & primed Ed that they were coming. The images were just beautiful. So much so I asked my niece to contact him for her wedding & she was just as thrilled as we were.
Thank you isn't enough for such a precious record

Amazing photographer

Couldn't have been happier with the service Ed provided at our wedding. He helped ease the stress of the day, being very easy to chat to and just having great ideas on how the photos should be taken. Even going to the lengths of bringing a massive step with him to help get everyone in our group photo!!

He is very understanding and is happy to help with any requests we had. We absolutely love the photos he has taken and cannot recommend him enough!!

Awesome Wedding Photographer

Ed was fantastic. Very friendly and put us all at ease straight away. Took some amazing natural photos and we didn't know he was there most of the time during the ceremony. All the photos were stunning and beautifully presented in a lovely box and memory stick. Ed is very reasonably priced and was so flexible to meet our needs. We thoroughly recommend him.

Fantastic photographer

When we first met with Ed he was relaxed and friendly and we were confident that he would do a great job. On the day Ed was fantastic. He even got a photo of a boisterous 2 year old!

The photos were superb and the package we had included a photo signed by the wedding guests on the day. You will struggle to get a better result than the packages from Ed Coleman.

Stress-free, friendly, and great results!

Ed made the whole process before, during, and after our big day and very stress-free and pleasant experience. From understanding our vision in a friction-less way, to guiding us all to ensure the best photos were possible. Ed was also more than happy to accommodate any changes and short notice requests. We're very happy with the results too!
