    Book Him Already!

    You’ll be reading this review on the hunt for a (wedding) photographer. You’ve made your first mistake because you haven’t already booked Paul…BOOK.HIM.NOW!!!

    Paul is honestly the most fabulous photographer and all round great guy!
    He liaised with us in Australia for our wedding in England in the bluebell season- May 2024. He worked his socks off for us going above and far beyond our expectations.

    One example… Before we’d even had a chance to meet him he went and did a rekkie on the venue and due to a lack of bluebells within walking distance he continued exploring the surrounding areas determined to find us some bluebells - the reason why we had chosen to get married in England in the first place.

    He put in over 12 hours on the day! Directed, prompted and corrected everyone to make sure he got the right shots as well as getting some really beautiful candid photos.

    Paul listened to exactly what we were asking for with our wedding photos and did not fail to deliver. We are so in love with all of them!

    Your next step should be to lock Paul in. He will not disappoint!

    Thank you Paul for honestly being the best Wedding photographer we could have asked for!

    Couldn't be happier

    Couldn't have asked anymore from Paul. His incredible attention to detail and no request too small attitude is exactly what you need in a photographer. My wife and I are very happy with the work Paul did for our wedding and would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you again Paul!

    A pleasure!

    Really lovely photos and a pleasure to communicate with (especially due to multiple postponements as a result of covid). Couldn’t recommend Paul enough!

    Our 2 week-long Indian Wedding

    I am so grateful that we had Paul as the photographer for our wedding (myself as the bride). I could not recommend him more highly to anyone!
    My mother was assisting with our planning and came across several photographers whose portfolios we then reviewed. I loved the style of Paul's photos - the backgrounds and staging were clean and pretty, the photos seemed fun and not rigid, and there was the use of sepia/ B+W which I love. I did not want typical Indian wedding photos - staged and repetitive, and we quickly knew this was who we wanted on our wedding team. Meeting with Paul the first time, it was clear that he was so passionate about his work. My then fiancé and I felt so at ease talking with him generally, as well as about the wedding, and knew we would feel comfortable with him behind the camera for some of the most important moments we would share. Our wedding events included a civil ceremony and wedding breakfast; a Hindu wedding ceremony and Reception, as well as multiple smaller functions (a music/ mehfil night and a henna/mendhi party with sangeet/dancing). Paul was familiar with some of our venues, but with those he had not worked at, he was so forthcoming in researching and visiting them ahead of time to find the best spaces to shoot in. We have beautiful photos on tree swings, against autumnal trees and pergolas, as well as more unique photos crossing the street (a particular favourite photo and memory of mine). He was so interested in our culture and the significance behind each event and this meant so much to us. What could seem overwhelming to others was exciting for him. He was able to attend and capture all but 1 of our 6 events giving us continuity and a sense of familiarity. He went above and beyond with understanding the events and our culture; the runnings of each event; and just making us all feel relaxed on the days - even attending my own mendhi (henna) at home to allow a complete timeline of our wedding story. He quickly became an extension of the wedding party and our family! He was able to build rapport with our younger and older guests, capturing a mixture of precious candid moments and staged family photos which we will forever treasure. On the day, he was calm, organised and had a vision. In the run-up, he was professional and easy to contact/ liaise with - I felt so reassured and had peace of mind as soon as we had him booked. The photos themselves have been so easy to access - all on 1 platform as a single gallery, but separated by each event. I have already had some developed into canvas prints for my family - seeing them takes us back as if we were there, and the colours/ quality/ moment captured have had such warm and positive feedback from our visiting family and friends. I have already booked Paul for a future occasion as he was such a pleasure to work with and so talented. Thank you so much again Paul!

    Amazing wedding photographer!

    We first met Paul at a wedding fair at our venue and instantly liked him so when it came to booking our photographer we contacted him straight away and we’re so glad we did. He’s been brilliant to deal with, always quick to answer any questions and very professional. He’s so friendly and easy to get along with and really put everyone at ease on the day.
    We received our pictures a little while ago and they are amazing! So natural which was just what we wanted. We couldn’t be more pleased with them and would 100% recommend Paul to anyone that was looking for a photographer.

    The Best Photographer!

    Paul did an amazing job photographing our wedding. We clicked with him straight away, finding him really easy to talk to and putting us at ease. All the way through the process he was quick to answer queries and generous with his time booking in venue visits ahead of the day. Paul is someone you really want around the day, such a friendly and calming presence, helping with all the details including with our own polaroid and sorting button holes. We also had Phoebe as his second shooter who also did an amazing job covering groom prep and lots of candid shots and is also so friendly too! We're so pleased with our wedding photos and would highly recommend Paul to anyone in need of a photographer!

    Fantastic Service!

    Paul was absolutely fantastic both on the lead up to and on our wedding day. What he captured in the photographs was better than we could have hoped for. Would recommend Paul in a heartbeat!

    Lovely photos, great guy, would recommend

    Paul was our wedding photographer at Voco Thames when we got married back in September, and he was outstanding, as both a photographer and presence at our wedding. We had a few meetings with Paul prior to the wedding, and an engagement shoot, and throughout he was really positive and friendly, and went out of his way to ensure that we were comfortable with the photos and being photographed. At the wedding itself, he was patient and efficient at running through the many group shots we requested, and both my wife and I had a really fun time having photos done near the Thames. He was also very effective at blending in to take photos of the guests. Our engagement shoot photos were gorgeous (we have a few of them dotted around the house already!) and we've had our wedding photos back now. They're beautiful and really captured all the aspects of the day. We had a lot of children at the wedding and there are some lovely shots of them too!

    Also - as a supplier, Paul has been a pleasure to work with – he was very responsive with emails, and very flexible with his time in generously agreeing to reschedule our pre-wedding shoot last-minute. It really helped take some of the stress out of the wedding organising! Both my wife and I would highly recommend :)
