Professional wedding photographer

We got married at Leigh Court, a beautiful venue in North Somerset, in September. The venue is beautiful and the weather was perfect!

Karl Moriarty was our photographer for the day and started off at the bridal suite by capturing the bridal party preparing for the big day. He then travelled to the venue where he captured the arrival of the groomsmen and the guests, taking in the beautiful surroundings and the beautifully decorated Great Hall, before the ceremony took place.

Each step of the day was caught on camera, with candid images of the congregation really showcasing the mood and excitement of the event.

As arranged prior to the event, formal group and bride-groom photos were taken after reception drinks, which we would have liked Karl to have taken the lead on, but all were perfectly captured eventually.

More candid photographs were taken throughout the wedding breakfast and in particular, during the speeches. Karl wrapped up his day by capturing the evening entertainment, with shots of guests and the bridal party on the bouncy castle, having their caricature drawn and later, letting their hair down on the dance floor.

A high quality set of digital images were provided within a week of the wedding, including identical sets in colour and in black & white.

The cost of £850 came as something of a surprise initially, but after nearly 12 hours of photographing our special day, Karl's professionalism, patience and warm personality easily justified the expense.

I would recommend Karl as a photographer for any special event.

Beautiful candid photos

We would highly recommend Karl. We selected him because he specialised in producing natural/candid photos, rather than having lots of staged photos. He nailed the brief, producing us hundreds of lovely photos of us and our guests, all neatly delivered within a week of the wedding. He was responsive throughout the process, a really nice guy and a Beatles fan to boot - what more could you want!

Any enquiries I had were answered promptly. We had our pictures back within three days which was a bonus, now we have beautiful photos to cherish forever

Amazing photographer!

Karl was our wedding photographer and he was absolutely fantastic. We wanted a photographer that would blend in with the group and be able to get candid photos as well as the more traditional shots and he did it perfectly. The turn around for our photos was super quick and for a couple who don't usually like being in front of a camera, he made us feel at ease and we loved all the photos. I would highly recommend Karl!

Really professional and a lovely guy

We used Bark to get in touch with Karl, and although I was sceptical because Ive never used Bark, the way Karl was toward our questions and answered everything we could ask, he put our mind at ease.
Karl was the photographer at our wedding, and what an amazing job he done! Extremely accommodating during the planning and on the day. Very friendly and all round lovely to have there to be part of it all, loved the photos and the candid style and would recommend to anyone. Thank you!

Incredible highly skilled wedding photographer

Karl photographed our wedding back in 2019. The photos turned out incredible. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Such a lovely person and easy to communicate with. We especially loved the candid photos. Everytime we look back at our wedding pictures our emotions are high again as he captured the perfect moments. We always say if we ever do vowel renewals we'll book him again!

Highly recommended!!

From the moment we met with Karl we knew were in safe hands. He made us feel at ease with his relaxed, professional style. We were a little unsure to what we wanted in terms of portrait photos, luckily Karl had many suggestions & examples that had worked well for other couples.
On the day all of our guests loved him! In addition to the portrait shots we requested, we were amazed at how he had managed to capture the atmosphere of the day with the candid photos he had taken through the day & evening.
We opted to have a photo album through Karl, which we were over the moon with - beautiful photos & super quality album.

Thank you Karl!!

Beautiful pictures, creative ideas, great personality

Karl was the perfect photographer for our wedding at Stone Barn in the Cotswolds. His ability to suggest great poses and ideas for shots was a lifesaver for us, as we were feeling a bit lost. The result was an abundance of amazing photos that captured the essence of our day, including one shot with a stunning sunset that has garnered numerous "wow" comments from everyone who's seen it (I love it so much that it's prominently displayed in both my house and on my work desktop!). Not only were Karl's photos exceptional, but his presence throughout the day was fantastic. His relaxed and friendly attitude was exactly what we needed, as he made everyone feel at ease. Thank you, Karl, for providing us with such beautiful pictures that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!
