We have been to a few photographers in the area and none have come close to Discovery Photography, We have used them many times now and have them booked for our wedding this year. They are friendly and listen to what you want, would highly recommend them.

Discovery Photography are a really laid back team. They share their experience, through photography courses and are always willing to help you improve your own personal skills. It dose not matter if you have to ask them time and time again how to do something because you are not under standing the concept and they are very patient in explaining how to do things. It makes you feel like part of a big family. The studio is set out for all access! The team work with children and animals , so the saying never work with children and animals is not considered here as the team have both.

Stu and Kirsty are fantastic we have had them do portraits of our children a couple of times now, and we asked them to cover our wedding day! They are so friendly, professional and go out their way to help their clients. Both Stu and Kirsty were fantastic on our wedding day being both professional and patient with us to get some beautiful (some funny) shots! We would highly recommend them to anyone
