Hayley and Craig recently captured our outdoor elopement wedding at Loch Muick and they exceeded all expectations. We had the worst possible weather imaginable - it did not stop raining or hailing the whole day! However, Hayley and Craig went above and beyond to capture the most magical wedding photos I have ever seen. Both Hayley and Craig made myself and my husband feel completely at ease and we all had the best day. They are professional, reliable and all round lovely people who produce outstanding photographs and I would absolutely recommend them every day of the week. Thank you so much

Now that the dust has settled and all the family are away and back to normality :( I just wanted to send over a review. These guys are just the best there is!
Hayley, you were an absolute joy to be around the morning of the wedding. Your calm and smiley nature just made everything so easy. Craig, the lads have all said what a true gent you were and that you kept them laughing and relaxed all morning. Tim said hes made a pal for life! Throughout the day, you were both just absolutely amazing. Made everything easy and straight forward, nothing was too much trouble. The group shots were executed

We are so glad we picked Hayley and Craig as our photographers. They've done lovely job for us and were also wonderful to work with, both on the day and otherwise. We chose to work them for several reasons. Firstly, we saw they produced consistently good photos indoors and out. We also loved the warmth and emotion of their work and after seeing some full galleries (and seeing how high the overall standard was) they were our first choice to work with. We were very grateful too that they were willing to work with us on the price for our small weekday wedding, since they were initially over our
