Everything and more

Will was wonderful from even before the word go. I’d seen him at a friends wedding and thought “he’s brilliant, he’s everywhere!”
So, we had a few chats, a lovely long consultation about what we liked, what we didn’t like, saw his work and knew instantly that we knew we wanted Will on our day. Will captures moments you don’t expect, moments of raw emotion, and our wedding had it in abundance. The laughs and tears were all there, and they are beautiful.
All the planned shots were there too, family friends, wedding party, all the poses ones went super smoothly and Will took charge brilliantly (with a big family group like ours, direction is absolutely necessary!)

We still love looking back at photos of our day, and we know that we will for years and years to come. Thanks Will x

The most beautiful photos and a great guy!

Talented, personable & professional. I cannot recommend Will highly enough. He put us at ease straight away and has a fantastic eye for capturing natural shots. We absolutely love our wedding photos. Not only have our family & friends commented on how great the shots are, they all said how friendly & easy going Will was on the day. Thank you Will.

Absolutely brilliant!

Will couldn't have gone out of his way more to make our day feel special and to capture the moments we wanted! It was like having a family friend there rather than a hired photographer, and the photos were beyond what we could have hoped for. He was brilliant and communicating with us beforehand to plan the day, and even visited the venue with us in advance to discuss photo opportunities. The photos were ready really quickly and we even got a highlight selection within a week which was so lovely. It was a pleasure to work with him and we would highly recommend him for your wedding.

Fantastic photographer - beautiful photos of our unusual wedding

Will was amazing, he took the time to understand what we wanted. He was unobtrusive and made sure that we and our guests were captured in a range of candid photos which really caught the essence of our day. The photos reflect the chaos and fun of our little wedding and it’s beautiful venue.

The best photographer we could have hoped for!

Will photographed both of our weddings- a very small intimate ceremony, and a family celebration- and it was a joy to have him join us on both occasions! Will did a fantastic job, taking beautiful photos that captured every special moment and it was such a pleasure to get to know him and have him there on the day. We would highly recommend him!

Stunning photos to treasure

Will was absolutely incredible. From our first call to recieving our final photos, Will was so reassuring and helpful. On our wedding day, he made us all feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. Our guests were all very complementary and loved that Will looked like he was having a great time throughout the day.

As for the photos, they are absolutely stunning. Will caught all the love, happiness and joy from our day. He captured so many happy moments which never fail to bring a smile to our faces when we see them. We can't stop looking at the pictures almost 8 months on.

We could never thank Will enough for the incredible photos and could not recommend him more highly to any couples looking for a photographer.
