I was looking for a photographer to take a photo for my mums 50th birthday. A lot of places didnt get back to me but John Hendry replies the same day. Donald was the photographer that worked with me for this and he was fantastic! We didnt have a lot of time for the photos but he was amazing and put the photos under priority. Even my brother who is rather unphotogenic and doesnt smile manged to look good. I would 100% reccomend this place to anyone, well worth the prices. Thank you so much!

Both John and Donald are amazing photographers, who are able to put adults and children of all ages at ease - nothing phases them (including the 'disasters' associated with photographing newborns without nappies....). Their customer service is also second to none.

We have now used John for our wedding, baby, children and family photographs. The service offered is excellent. The quality of the photos is superb and the atmosphere in the studio is extremely friendly and fun. Some photograph shoots with babies have been challenging, however, John persevered and the resulting pictures were again excellent. John's manner with both the babies and children is great. We have on a seldom occasion not quite felt the picture was not quite what we had hoped for, John altered the picture with no additional cost under his guarantee to obtain the right picture for you
