Amazing! Highly recommend.

Chris and Sarah were incredible. There is no other way to sum it up.
From the moment we booked they were attentive and helpful. Even being flexible and allowing us to meet via zoom as we were planning our wedding from abroad.

On the day, they were everywhere at once capturing all our favourite moments. They were perfect flies on the wall and did not ask us to do anything or request anything that would make us uncomfortable.
Sarah and Chris were friendly and approachable and made our day so much easier. They slipped into the day seamlessly and were genuinely so much fun to hang out with and speak to. It was like having two extra friends there. They were encouraging and perfect company when we were feeling nervous.

As for the photos, they are awesome. Both Chris and Sarah are incredibly talented and we could not be happier with the outcome. They captured candid moments beautifully and could we see our personalities in each posed photo.
Thank you to you both!
