Hitched Photographer of the Year for three years running, 2022, 2023 and 2024 - Hitched

"Best Photographer in Wales - If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. From the start, we knew Keri would be more than a photographer but a good friend. He was personable, friendly and went to extreme lengths to make sure we had the best day captured. He made us feel comfortable even though we both felt goofy in front of a camera, he was always available to answer our questions - or just to have a chat. There aren't enough words to recommend Keri but all we can say is if you are looking for a day captured perfectly, this is who you want. Especially if you aren't super comfortable in front of a camera, because he'll make you feel like a model. Thanks for everything Keri!" - Tegan & Chris

well we don't even know where to start with how amazing keri was with us! not just us actually but all our guests ! from the second we met keri on a few zoom meetings we just got on like a house on fire it was like hanging out with a really cool talented mate! He was awesome with all our guests they all absolutely loved him! we were abit nervous for our couple shoot especially as my other half doesn't like having photos but keri made it so so easy for us and fun! they were all so natural 😍 he coordinated everyone so well and the family shots are something we will treasure forever ! even all the unexpected moments were captured and he was so thoughtful about capturing precious moments that even us as bride and groom didn't get to see which made the whole day even more magical the more we looked at our album the more we were in love! the whole day was captured perfectly and at any chance I get I recommended keri to absolutely anyone who will listen to me now hahaha! thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts ! you were beyond a dream !

The best photographer out there!

When we first met Keri over zoom we knew there and then he was the photographer for us, he had this incredible persona about him. And it was definitely confirmed when we met him on our wedding day. He was incredible with the guests and us and knew exactly what to do to get us all laughing and smiling for the photos. I’m so so glad we chose you Keri! The photos are just outstanding and it was a pleasure to have you there with us on our special day, capturing every moment.
The whole photos are done like it’s telling a story and that’s exactly how it should be!
If you’re thinking of hiring Keri for your wedding, go for it and you will not be disappointed.
Thank you Keri for the most wonderful day!

OUTSTANDING - The best third wheel!

Keri was outstanding from start to finish and we couldn’t have been happier with the results. We felt that the photographer was the one thing we had to “get right” and Keri exceeded all expectations. From the beginning Keri was friendly and responsive and nothing was ever too much trouble while he supported us through the wedding planning process. On the day, Keri was prompt and approachable even helped deliver our wedding bands to the best man! Our guests loved Keri, knowing him by name and commented on how hard he was working saying “he’s everywhere!”

Looking back through our gallery was emotional as it perfectly captured the essence of the day taking us back to each moment. The standard of images we got back couldn’t have been better and we have a tough job to pick our favourites!

Couldn’t be more thankful for the hard work Keri put into our wedding day and we wouldn’t have chosen anyone else to be our third wheel for our special day.

Highly recommend. Absolutely Fantastic

We had keri as our photographer for our wedding and could not be happier with our choice. Keri felt more of a guest than a supplier. All our friends and family commented on how brilliant he was from start to finish. And everyone there knew his name.
He made you feel at ease and captured all the special moments.

Could not recommend him enough. So down to earth! Wouldn’t have been the same without him.

Amazing photographer and a fantastic person

Keri was absolutely incredible as our wedding photographer and completely understood what wanted and captured our day perfectly!! We knew he was going to be great based on seeing his previous work, and from the meetings we had, but he exceeded any expectations by a mile. We loved having Keri at the wedding, it was like he was another of our friends spending the day with us, everyone loved him! He made us feel so at ease and has such a fabulous way of getting people to relax to capture beautiful pictures. We are beyond happy with our photos and now get to relive the day again and again when we look back at them. Keri, we can’t thank you enough!

One of the family!

Can’t tell you how happy we both were to have Keri at our wedding. We knew instantly when we first talked to him that he would be our photographer and he didn't dissapoint. He made us feel at complete ease all of our guests loved him and our photos are amazing. Thank you so much we really can’t thank you enough 💕💕

Speechless

Keri could not have been more perfect for our wedding day. From the first consultation we all just seemed to click and what a guy he really is. I'm sure it's been said before but Keri became part of the day not just 'there for the day.' He stayed until there was nothing left to shoot and his personality shone through all day. The guests loved him, the kids loved him and most importantly, so did we. We cannot thank you enough for being an absolute (as our guests have said...) Legend! ❤️

Outstanding - the best photographer out there!

Keri was everything we could have asked,hoped,dreamed of in terms of wedding photography. He captured the most important day of our lives perfectly. He made both of us feel incredibly comfortable and it felt so natural through out the day. The photos we recieved back, took our breath away. The skill and talent, Keri shows is something everyone should be lucky enough to experience! We will cherish ours for the rest of our lives.

Incredible

Our day wouldn't have been what it was without Keri.
Easily the best decision we made about the wedding (aside from my groom!). He was flexible to our needs, worked in a way that suited us and adopted our priorities. He blended into the day seemlessly and every single one of our guests commented about how lovely he was but otherwise didn't notice he took the pictures! We have so many beautiful staged pictures but importantly lots of candid moments that we would have missed if Keri didn't capture them and were always going to be greatful for this. He stayed into the evening to capture the party side

Prices are transparent and the process was so easy.

Amazing photos - quick turnaround

Thanks so much to Keri, for being great throughout the process. It was a pleasure having him with us on the wedding day.

We got a number of preview pics just a couple of days later, and have now received the full gallery. The pictures are amazing, and he managed to capture everyone there.

Thanks Keri!

Exceptional photographer and wonderful person.

I can’t express how grateful we are for the absolutely incredible job Keri did photographing our wedding. From our first contact with him he was friendly and approachable and made us both feel special. Keri made every effort to make us feel comfortable around him and the camera and that came across perfectly in the wedding photos. I couldn’t believe how perfect they were and even through all of the ugly faces of us dancing Keri found the beauty in it and edited them perfectly. He did an amazing job capturing every small moment of the wedding for us to remember, which included running from the bridal suite after taking photos of myself and my bridesmaids and then capturing our guests arrival and my husband and his groomsmen when they were all excited before the wedding.

I was nervous about having photos taken during the ceremony because I thought it would distract me but I couldn’t even tell Keri was there and the photos were incredible from all angles capturing every wonderful moment.

Throughout the whole wedding our guests were coming up and commenting on how wonderful Keri was and how they felt so at ease with him around.

I literally couldn’t recommend Keri enough, he’s such a wonderful photographer who really cares for each and every couple he photographs and makes you feel like you’re his only clients. Thank you so much Keri, I hope we get to see you again when our next friends get married!

Amazing Photographer & Nice Guy

What an amazing photographer. Everyone commented on how good Keri was. He was brilliant at lurking and getting candid photos and the set stuff we requested too. Was great at making me feel at ease as I am not a fan of having my photo taken and most of the time you don't even know he is there! Photos look amazing, would recommend to anyone.

Best Wedding Photographer!

Keri was a delight from start to finish . He was so personable without being pushy. He listened to exactly what we wanted and gave of his all on our special day. He captured many special moments in the most natural way. Looking back on our photos we can really see the journey of our day and how happy everyone was. So many of our guests commented on how fabulous he was. By the end of the day we really felt like we had gained a special friend. He has an eye for detail and really used the light and setting beautifully. Our album is beautiful and all the snaps are priceless. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others. A friend of mine has already asked for details as she was blown away with our photos and him .
Thank you once again.

Amazing photographer, excellent photos,

Keri was the ultimate professional. He ticked every box you could ask for. His photos were amazing, creative and fun. They captured wonderful moments and every element of the wedding, in various moods. When we viewed the final album, it transported us back to those moments.
Before the wedding he was always in touch with us, giving us ideas of how he could help capture the day, whilst taking in any of our wishes. During the wedding day, he put the the bride at ease and also assisted in organising some elements of the day. He was so approachable, fun, charismatic. He clicked with every guest and everybody commented on how awesome a photographer and person he was. He is a credit the wedding industry.
