We were over the moon with the pictures!

We were absolutely blown away by the service and quality of photos delivered by Nel. We went for the package with the second photographer, and loved that both the bride and groom parties were pictured getting ready. She’s friendly, has incredible artistic vision and takes on board requests from the couple. Cannot recommend Nel highly enough!

Hi Nel!
I am so sorry we’ve not been in touch sooner! It’s been manic our end, but we sat down and looked through them all with tears in our eyes at photos we’d not really even taken in when they happened!
We want to say a HUGE thank you to you and Leon for your amazing work on our wedding day- the photos are so beautiful and a perfect capture of the best moments of our day.
Having you as our photographer was hands down our best decision in our wedding prep and we were so pleased to have you there, let alone the stunning results!!
We keep looking through and struggling to select 100 to send through as requested, there are just so many amazing ones so sorry for the delay.
Can we please have the USB in wooden?
We hope you both had a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
Ryan & Benji x

Couple Shoot- Patrick and Anna Davies

"I've always thought that the test a really good photographer is somebody who can capture the heart and sole of the subject. If that's what you are looking for, Nel is the one for you. The photos she took of Anna and I absolutely expressed the essence of our relationship- a sense of love with a bit of humour on the side."
Patrick and Anna Davies- Hertfordshire
