It took us over 6 months to find our perfect wedding photographer. We our very demanding so we spent months researching photographers. We narrowed it down to 3. From the moment we contacted Howard we were very impressed, he was by a long stretch the most professional out of the 3 we meet. In every respect Howard was head and shoulders above the other photographers. On the day he was simply wonderful, our guests.remarked on how unobtrusive he was. We had our photographs, within a week, we were blown away with his photography. We have just picked up our wedding album, we love it. We are so glad we

Both myself and hubby are camera shy, and we are very critical when choosing a photographer. After seeing many photographers, we narrowed it down to 3. We decided to use Howard. Howard was not the cheapest, but we were blown away with the quality of photography and his personality. On the day he was amazing, desecrate and not in your face. We had all are photographs 3 days later, they are amazing, Howard captured the day perfectly. I am so pleased we choose him and if you are looking for a photographer, we have no hesitation in recommending Howard. Thank you, Howard.

We booked Howard for our wedding on 03/09/21. Howard is a nice enough guy and turned up nice and early, we got some really nice pictures from our day but overall we expected a little more
We booked for up to 8 hours but after 6 he was trying to leave, there was a lull in between the meal and the after do but I dont feel like he utilised the time well enough, it was one of our Bridesmaids that had to prompt him to take certain photographs which ended up being some of our favourites. The package also contained 1100 images which at first sounds impressive but after looking through them all

We were recommended Howard to be our wedding photographer. He arrived early on the big day which was great and was fantastically quick to send us over all the pictures just 2 days after our wedding!
Howard captured most of what we wanted, including all the main traditional family photos, although we did feel some key moments of the day were missed, things we didnt think were needed to be requested, such as our first kiss, smashing the glass, and walking back down the aisle with confetti, speech reactions from family/friends, natural shots of the guests at tables, photos of the food, and informal

Howard photographed our wedding on Sunday and did an amazing job! He was so professional and organised, and captured so many lovely photos. He gave us wonderful pictures of the ceremony and throughout the day. They were clear, vibrant and included candid shots of the guests enjoying themselves. He had sent us all the photos by 11pm on the evening of the wedding! We would highly recommend Howard for any event/wedding and wouldnt hesitate to use him again.
