Jake, what can we say....in this crazy year Jake had been accommodating, supportive and flexible with every decision and change of plan during the pandemic. We feel very lucky to have had a small wedding this summer, but even with a handful of guests Jake blended into the background, was loved by everyone and captured every part of the day in a beautiful and creative way. His photography captures the real moments and our personalities and we love each one. As so many of our loved ones couldnt join us during this time we also asked Jake for a video and we havent stopped watching it....a beautiful

I don't even know where to begin when thanking Jake for his photography at our wedding. Whilst scouring the net for photographers, we were captivated by Jake's photography, not only the beautiful photos of couples and guests, but also the landscape and the food! We chose Craig Y Nos Castle as our venue as we love the architecture and surrounding nature, which I knew Jake would capture beautifully.

As well as this, my husband is a chef, and with our venue generously allowing us to personalise our menu, we especially wanted photography of behind the scenes in the kitchen too, so that we can now look

Jake captured our wedding day perfectly. We have always loved his style of photography and were delighted when he agreed to travel to Cornwall for our big day. He captured each moment and space beautifully. All the guests commented on how kind and approachable Jake was and noted that he never made you feel uncomfortable whilst photographing. Jake captured photos that I never even thought about, including every detail of our day. Perfect. He was wonderful to work with and if we could do it all again I would book Jake every time. Thank you so much.

Jake is a wonderful photographer. He was our wedding photographer almost 6 years ago and has being taking photos of our pubs since we opened. He's really easy to work with, will always aim for specific shots that you want, as well as using his creativity and the end result is always beautiful. As well as capturing the food and environment really well, he is very good at capturing people when relaxed, rather than in a formal and posed style.

In what I would imagine is a bit of a wedding/photography challenge with only 4 guests, Jake made our wedding day feel and look like nothing at all was different about our special day. The photos look so intimate and personal and every time we look at them, we're transported back to the day! He captured the gorgeous autumn setting perfectly. He took time before to ensure he knew what we wanted from the day and was completely happy to take the reins when we said we didn't really know what we wanted, but trusted his professional opinion. He was so friendly and both families enjoyed his company

Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,Value
Jake has gone above and beyond our expectations in terms of quality of photography, friendliness and customer service. Even 5 years after our wedding, when we lost the USB of our photos in a house move, he replaced them free of charge. What a gent. Cant recommend highly enough.
