great photography is about people and fun, not cameras - this is what they said.. 

Marriage is  a ritual grounded in tradition, but weddings are also a lifestyle statement. Any  bridal magazine will confirm the high expectations of today's bride. She expects  her wedding day to be a tribute to her style and grace. Couples are  more independent now too. They marry later. What worked in the past may therefore be inappropriate today. The couple's images, and the albums that  display them, must be a true reflection of their personal style.

Sarah and Simon

"Simon and I want to say a HUGE thank you! We are outstandingly happy with our photos and especially the album, its so different to have a bright colourful album, it takes us back to our special day every time we look at it. Every time we open our album, it is like being back in the Dominican, we remember every moment and picture so well. We laughed the whole day long! To be able to find a brilliant 1st class photographer who was more than happy to fly out with us at a reasonable price was hard - the search paid off!! I think Wayne was just as excited to see our pictures as we were at the end of the day. It was like having extra friends at our wedding, it really was. You fitted in so well and no one had anything but praise to give you. The hotel were so impressed they wanted copies of the photos to advertise weddings, they wouldn't even dream of asking this if we had chosen a 2nd class photographer! Thank you for your expertise and excitement, it made our day so magical!! Thanks again, Sarah & Simon Ainsworth"

Well, what can we say. Knowing exactly what we wanted from our wedding pictures, finding someone who  was reasonably priced and still of a high quality was always going to be difficult. However, upon contacting you, we were immediately put at ease. You  were eager to please and understood exactly what we wanted. When it came to the wedding day itself, both of you were superb at organising everyone and keeping to the schedule, which is a gift not many can achieve on such an occasion! Both of you were fun to be around during the day and because of this the photo's have turned out far better than we could ever have imagined. You  definitely know how to get the best out of people! Being able to log onto the website to see pictures of the day when we were on our honeymoon was  brilliant. We will be recommending you to anyone and everyone who is getting  married. Thankyou for everything, we both had the best day of our lives and your  photography has really captured this for us. Lisa & Tony  Shrubsole

Joanne and David

We wanted to write and say a huge thank you for all the work that you have put into making our wedding album so special. We are delighted with how our pictures have turned out, and the album surpasses all of our expectations. All of our friends and family have commented on how lovely the pictures are and how they have perfectly captured the atmosphere of our wedding day. Your friendly and relaxed rapport with both ourselves and the guests, combined with the un-obtrusive style of shooting has produced some fantastic pictures that will remind us of our wedding day for years to come.

We chose you as our photographer, because the photos we saw on your Gallery pages seemed so alive and you seemed to capture the spirit of the Weddings you covered. The style of photography was so different and the presentation was stunning.  The images never seem posed, they seemed so natural, & relaxed. What we couldn’t see was how helpful, easy going, thoughtful and attentive you would turn out to be.  We now have our album and we can’t believe just how good it is. Apart from the clarity and attention to detail, you have captured the day in a way we didn’t think possible. We can feel the warmth, laughter and love each time we look through it. It is truly fantastic and choosing you is one of the decisions we will never regret. We have never bought anything from anyone who has been so determined to ensure that we were so fully satisfied with what we had purchased. Your customer service has to be experienced to be believed. My advice to others would be to choose your photographer carefully, think about what you want from your Wedding Album and then get Wayne to do it to avoid any disappointment!  We can’t thank you enough.

Finding Wayne was like finding a diamond among wedding photographers. From the very first contact Wayne always went the extra mile; including speedy administration, set up meetings, venue visits to story board the day, and fast turnaround of our photos so we could even view them whilst on honeymoon! His professionalism and attention to detail inspired confidence every step of the  way whilst his ease with people and eye for beauty made him stand out from the busy crowd of wedding photography. As a dear friend of mine who wasn't able to  make our wedding commented; "Dear Natalie...thank you so much for sending us more photos of your wedding. We really enjoyed them.I especially loved the black and white photo of you holding the red roses - that one looks like a  postcard. What a beautiful and creative idea to make a storybook of your photos...a storybook wedding! "  Natalie and Carl

Thanks so much to you and for all your hard work on Saturday...especially in the  heat. The photos are out of this world and we were amazed to catch a view of some of them before we went on honeymoon. We are in Srilanka at the mo and can’t wait to log on again to see the rest of them. Lou cried when she saw them as they really did bring all the memories flooding back. They are a great way of  remembering our day and we would recommend you to all our friends. Thanks again and we will speak to you when we get back. Mark and Lou

Can we both thank you for your fantastic time and attention on Saturday. The wedding went really well and Louise & Mark thought the best part for them was with  you on the boat! I think your pictures proved that. Thanks again for getting the preview pictures on your website before the kids even went off on their  honeymoon on Monday. We had over a 100 people at a BBQ at home on the Sunday and the weather was great, everyone had a trip on the boat, just wished you  were both there to take the photos. Thanks again Wayne, you will have our highest recommendation to anyone who wants the best for their wedding. Eric &  Sue (Father & Mother of the Bride)

Amy and Nick Hickman

Just to say a huge thank you. We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos. You managed to capture some classic moments of the day. We chose you because you were personable and we felt that you could us make us feel comfortable and enjoy the photos being taken. Your style of photography is unique and the storybook idea is great, no other photographer came close. On the big day, while getting ready you made us feel at ease and were very encouraging. You got on well with our guests and they all think you did a superb job. While on honeymoon all our family and friends visited your website to view our photos - which is a great idea. We could even view them from a business suite on an island in the Maldives! We are now in the process of choosing our favourite 80 photos to go into the storybook album and finding it very difficult because all of them are so good! We can't wait to see the finished product, it will be something to treasure forever. Thank you once again Amy & Nick Hickmann

Melissa and Andrew Dunn

Wayne we can’t thank you both enough for creating such amazing memories of our special day.  We could only have dreamt that they could be captured in such a way to actually take us back to feeling the spirit of the day and remembering even the tiniest of details.. You made us and the guests feel so comfortable and even helping us in the preparations of the day as things got manic!  You both just moulded into the day, true professionals! We are so pleased we found you! The ariel shots over London and the Nutfield Priory were a superb feature for the helicopter ride! It was such a nice touch being able to see the pictures whilst on our honeymoon to Mauritius, showing off to other guests and honeymooners at the quality of photographer we selected. The photos were endless, and all of such quality selection was tough, but seeing the finished Story Book took our breath away, we knew it would be amazing but this was like nothing we had ever imagined.  You spent so much time and effort meeting us prior to the wedding, taking test shots at the hotel, catering for our every request, playing around with the pictures selected for the book to get the best results.  We can’t even begin to thank you enough. You are the only photographers we would recommend as you come with the guarantee to make the day a truly special one!

Angela and Richard

We would like to say an enormous thank you to Wayne. Not only did he take so many superb shots but he did it in such a way that we didn’t even notice him; even the posed shots look effortlessly natural. When it came to seeing our finished album it exceeded all our expectations, it’s absolutely stunning; far better and more original than any other wedding albums we have ever seen.  Everyone we have shown it to is amazed at the final result, and envious that they don’t have the same unique record of their own wedding day. I would recommend you to anyone and am so grateful for the finished product......          Best wishes – Angela and Richard     

Katie and Rob

Rob and I wanted to say a big thank you for the finished album. It is absolutely beautiful and very different from anyone elses that we have ever seen. Everyone that has seen it has commented on how fantastic it looks. The CD that you sent us showing the album design does in no way do the finished version justice. We found you to be extremely professional and discreet throughout the whole day and I would say that the majority of the photos (especially the ones in the church) were taken without us or anyone else being aware of you being there,which was exactly what we wanted as we didnt' want to feel as though the whole day revolved around us being photographed. We are now in two minds about recommending you to everyone we know or keeping you quiet so we remain the only one amongst our friends with such a unique wedding album and memory of our day!!!! Perhaps you might consider christenings in the near future! Once again all our thanks to you and Di for giving us such a lovely reminder of our wedding. Best Wishes Katie and Rob

Lindsay and Paul Jones

Paul and I cannot thank you enough for all you have done in the lead up to our wedding, as well as all your hard work on the big day. Your professionalism, enthusiasm and fun nature has been an integral part of the most important day of our lives. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to produce our wedding photographs. They have captured the sparkle of our magical day in every imaginable way. Not only did you make our day enjoyable but you also made our guests day just as enjoyable. Many have commented on how brilliant you were and also your good sense of humor. It was a lovely surprise when you presented us with the slideshow CD with all our photographs a couple of days later and we appreciate the time and effort you have contributed to our wedding photography. You are a true professional! Once again thank you for making our day such an enjoyable one.

Sarah and Brett Horth Sitting, relaxing on a sunny evening – Sat seems a long time ago & somewhat dream-like. I feel I just must write and say how much we enjoyed your company on our very special family day – your energy, enthusiasm and good humor throughout were so very much appreciated – even when time was short you managed most capability to get the job done without fuss! You’ve no idea how easy you made the day for us and Sarah and Brett. We spared many a thought for you on Sunday afternoon- dealing with yet another lot of highly excitable, emotional parents, bride and groom! I know we shall be in touch again, but it was important to me that I send this short note asap… Thank you with our warmest good wishes – Helen and Bruce (Parents)

Sarah and Chris Markun  If there was one thing we would say to anybody planning a wedding, it would be “make sure you get a good photographer”.  In the case of Wayne (and Beder) we would have to say “there could simply be no other choice!”  From the moment they arrived to the moment they left, the professionalism and quality of the photography was second to none!  We have got more than we could ever have dreamt of from Wayne, a memory that has been captured in his skill and professionalism!  Neither of us thought that during our 3 week honeymoon to Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora, that what excited us most about coming home, was the thought of seeing our photographs.  Words simply cannot describe how happy we were at the results, except there being too many good pictures for our magazine. Thanks again again!  Sarah and Chris.

Simon and Heather Lane We just had to say, a huge thank you Wayne, for the fabulous photographs of our wedding. You really helped make our day so special.  We didn't even notice you were there most of the time, but the range and quality of the shots taken prove you actually were!  We can only use one word to describe the digital technology and wedding books - WOW!  Being able to see our photographs via the internet whilst honeymooning in the Maldives was something we could have only dreamed of... Thanks once again for all the time put in before, during and long after the wedding, you've become a good friend and we won't hesitate to recommend you to all our family and friends should an occasion arise.

                                                                                                                                 Amy and Philip Thank you Wayne for the superb wedding album you put together for us. The finished product was totally unique and a masterpiece which exceeded our expectations. We were particularly pleased with the care and attention you gave to us in the planning, support and execution on our wedding day. You have an unobtrusive style, and we did not feel anything was staged or posed, your photographs captured, in a very natural way, a truly perfect day. Sending us the photographs so quickly while we were on our honeymoon was a lovely surprise and supplying us with a CD of all the pictures was fantastic. Clearly we would have no hesitation in recommending you and I am sure we will be asking you to take some portrait pictures in the future!”

Kate and Alastair

A wedding day is something special and something special is needed to remember it. From our first meeting with Wayne and viewing his portfolio we knew we had made the right decision. The whole day ran so smoothly and the professional and un-intrusive manor in which Wayne operated added to the occasion. Seeing the photos on the web on our honeymoon only wetted our appetite for the book. Family and friends were always looking. When the book was delivered it was a fantastic feeling and everyone who has seen the book has been extremely impressed by the quality of the images and the finish. Definitely something special

Vicki and Neale Whitfield Thank you so much for sharing our day with us and being a part of our whole wedding experience.  We had a lot of fun with you and you both made us feel completely relaxed from the moment you arrived.  The photo's are everything we dreamed they would be.  They seem to have captured the moment, and hold many special memories, not only for us, but for everyone who was there on the day.  The pictures tell a great story, and bring back the whole day as if it were yesterday.  Having the pictures on the website within 5 days was fantastic as we could look at them whilst honeymooning and our guests have all commented on how wonderful it was to be able to see the pictures so soon. Top class, and when anyone asks us for a recommendation Picture Weddings will be the only name we give.   Thanks again ... you made us feel extra special on the best day of our lives!!
