Justin was our wedding photographer in August, we had been really anxious about the covid restrictions and what that may mean for our wedding photos.
Justin was so reassuring through the whole process, was informative in the build up, and like one of the family on the day! He was more than our photographer, he helped advise us on all sorts of wedding bits and made the day so easy! We received our photos within 6 weeks and they did not disappoint at all! Absolutely blown away by the professionalisation, kindness and willingness to muck in! Emma and I cannot thank you enough!!

Justin is not just an amazing photographer, he fully gets involved in the day. He was so helpful and kind, he really helped put me at ease when I was so nervous on the morning. No requested was too big and he made every effort to take every photo we wanted. I truly treasure my wedding photos and always get asked who took them. You will not regret booking Fresh Photography

When we were searching for a wedding photographer one of the main things we wanted was somebody who was easy to be around and didnt feel like they were getting in the way!
Justin was professional, friendly & fun! His photography style was just what we wanted, we were so happy with all of our wedding pictures & didnt feel like we were posing with every family member for hours on end! We have so many natural shots which we love! We couldnt recommend Fresh Photography enough, a good photographer is a big part of your wedding budget but Justin was worth every penny!

Justin was the photographer at our wedding in May 2016 and we couldn't have selected anyone better! He arrived bright and early to spend the whole day and evening with us, was friendly and polite and fab at mingling with our family and friends, capturing all the important moments. We have a huge catalogue of special photos from our wedding, some of my favourites are candid shots that Justin is really skilled at catching. Thanks for being an integral part of our day and giving us fantastic memories to last forever.

I was recommended Fresh Photography as I was getting married at short notice due to my mums ill health so we brought our wedding forward. Justin was brilliant not only as a photographer but was completely understanding under difficult circumstances. He makes you feel completely at ease, you have a laugh and he captures every moment perfectly. I feel so lucky to have found Fresh Photography that captured my special day so perfectly. I would not hesitate to recommending ..... I cant praise enough how talented Justin is.

Justin was amazing!! He made the entire experience a pleasure from start to finish. He made Dave and I feel so at ease and the photos were a true reflection of this. He engaged well with all our guests yet wasnt intrusive on our day. The phots were wonderful and he captured exactly what we wanted on our special day! We would highly recommend him to anyone.
