We booked Nick to photograph our wedding at Wadhurst Castle (which was meant to be in May 2020) back in February 2019. When we found his work on his website and Instagram page we were so impressed by how beautiful his wedding photos were, and his eye for lovely, natural photos rather than all posed or arranged. Our wedding was postponed to September 2021 due to Covid, and Nick was very accommodating with the new date. When the day finally came round, Nick blended seamlessly in with our guests and put everyone at ease - we honestly didn't even notice him during the church service, but he somehow

Thank you so much Nick! My husband and I got married in September this year and using Nick was a wonderful experience. Nick made us both feel so relaxed on the day which allowed for wonderful photos. The images we received are stunning - we could not have asked for a better photographer! Highly recommend, and in fact, my maid of honour is planning to use him for her wedding! 10/10.

The first time we met Nick was at our pre-wedding photo shoot. Neither of us like having photos taken but Nick was lovely and really put us at ease. The resulting photos were lovely so we knew we were in good hands for our wedding. Nick was excellent on our wedding day and captured every moment and everything we had asked for. We received over 400 digital photos and we have just received our wedding album which is stunning. The quality of the photos and the album itself are beyond our expectations! Thank you Nick for capturing our special day.

Simply incredible photos! If we could give Nick more than 5 stars we would. From the moment we contacted Nick he made us feel at ease, taking the time to really get to know Steve and I both as individuals as well as a couple. Nick really understood the type of wedding "feel" we were going for and also the type of photographs we were looking to get.
Knowing that Nick had photographed at Wadhurst Castle many times before was a massive bonus for us as he knew all the amazing spots to take the photographs, from which angles and at what times of the day to get the best light...which also took the

We have used Nick for our wedding photos and to create our website for our care home (still under construction). We have always found Nick to be pleasant, polite, professional and extremely good at his craft. I would recommend him to anyone who wishes their big day to be captured with pure quality. Hire this man, you will not be remotely disappointed! With regard to the photos Nick took of our business premises, I cannot fault them. The pictures of the house inside and out looked amazing and will certainly be of great benefit when we add them to our new website. This man is a wizard with a camera
