From@a very wet December day!!!
“From the beginning of our wedding planning we wanted natural photos that captured the happiness of our special day - Colin did just that.Colin was so easy going and made the day fun and relaxed. He was so patient even running around in the rain with us - We got loads of incredible photos. He coordinated so well with our videographer and content creator too.
We couldn’t recommend Colin enough. Thanks a million Colin for your amazing work! “

Seána and Kevin
“Now that the dust has settled and we are starting to come out of our wedding bubble, we want to thank you so much for everything on our wedding day. You were an absolute pleasure to work with, a gentleman from start to finish. We loved having you there with us. Yourself and our videographer Chris from B&G were a dream team, and our bridal party all thought that you were a duo because of how seamlessly you worked together.
From the moment you walked in the door, there wasn’t a moment without laughter. You knew all the nooks and crannies of Castle Leslie, while also making sure that we didn’t miss a moment of our drinks reception because of your efficiency. We are so grateful for you taking the time to get our preview photos over to us within 24 hours of our wedding. You really are the best in the business and we cannot wait to see the rest of the beautiful photos in a few weeks time. Thank you again Colin - no doubt you will be booked for plenty more weddings because of the brilliant impression you left on our bridal party and guests.”

“We are so thrilled with our wedding photos. Colin thought of every detail and more, we got to relive our whole day again when we received our gallery and also got to see extra moments that we didn’t notice on the day that Colin had captured for us. From the moment we booked with Colin, the whole experience was seamless, on the day his relaxed and professional nature was exactly what we wanted, he brought a fun and lighthearted vibe that made our day so much more enjoyable. We would highly recommend Colin if you want stunning, timeless photographs that you will cherish forever”.

“From our initial conversation right through to post-wedding, Colin was incredible. His relaxed personality put us at ease straight away, and he understood exactly what we wanted to capture and how we envisioned it. His soft and romantic photography style was a perfect match for us.
Colin’s personable nature made everything easy on the day, effortlessly coordinating even with a videographer he had never met before.
One of our favorite moments was when he whisked us away for some impromptu sunset photos.
Colin even knows how to fit a veil! A man of many talents, he truly made our wedding day unforgettable”

“Choosing our photographer was a very important decision for us, and we are delighted we went with Colin. When looking for a photographer for our day, we were immediately drawn to Colin’s natural and relaxed style of photography. We were hoping to capture all the small special moments of our day and Colin exceeded our expectations. He was fantastic to work with, very easy-going and professional. On our wedding day we were limited by time and weather, and Colin setup shots perfectly and quickly, making sure we got to capture everything we wanted. We love all our photos so far, and we can’t wait to see the full collection”

“From our first contact with Colin he was set apart from any other photographer we looked at. We received the most beautiful package in the post with samples of his work and all the information we needed. It set him apart from the crowd and set the tone for the level of professionalism we then saw throughout our experience with Colin. But most of all he was fantastic at making us feel at ease and comfortable resulting in some amazing photos which we are so happy with”
