Rafe recently shot our wedding and has since sent us through so many beautiful photos of us, our friends and our family that it took two sittings go get through! We so enjoyed looking through them all and had such a laugh at the memories. We can't wait to look through them all again and was so lovely for us to see each others day, before the ceremony and everything going on behind the scenes! Rafe and Karl both did so well to capture everyone and everything and we are so so grateful. Our family and friends have since started looking through the photos and are highly reccomending Rafe where possible

Rafe recently came to my new business premises to take photos for my website. He was professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him if you need some new images for your business.

Rafe photographed our wedding in July and the whole album is absolutely stunning. He's really captured all our best moments. We aren't a fan of too many posy shots, so loved that Rafe's style is a little more natural while also getting those standard groyp shots. The photos are in the moment and completely show how everyone was feeling and enjoying the day. Thank you so much Rafe!

We first met Rafe at a wedding fair at a venue randomly in Buntingford and we took a chance as we were drawn to him & his work instantly. What a photographer. I can honestly say Rafe was the best person for the job.if I could give more stars I would!! We hired both Rafe & his right hand man (second photographer) Carl for the whole day, lovely guysprofessional, experienced & kind enough to stayed till the DJ stopped for those late night party snaps. I was utterly blown away with our gallery. Looking through them brought back every single emotion I felt on our special day and some. We didnt
