We were thrilled with our wedding photos and the service provided by Peter. Peter was friendly, professional and blended in nicely in our day. He captured some amazing photos, and we absolutely loved his documentary style photos which give us fond memories of our day. We also hired the photo booth and really enjoyed looking through those photos too!

Peter was very friendly and professional and put everyone at ease on our Wedding Day. The events of the day were beautifully captured. Peter worked very unobtrusively but managed to record the happy atmosphere of the day and the typical mannerisms of our guests. The beauty of the autumn day at Wellington Barn shines through. The quality of our wedding album is just superb. We are thrilled with Peter's work and will recommend him to our friends.

Truly outstanding photos of my two Golden Retrievers, Bella and Niki. Never easy shooting animals especially two together. Peter was amazing, so patient and professional. Quality of the pictures is just beyond words, never expecting anything to what i got. Memories of a lifetime, such a shame i was not aware of his talents, for times gone by but never captured. Cannot recommend highly enough

Highly recommended. Peter was our wedding photographer at Priston Mill last summer and we are delighted with the photographs. He really captured the spirit of the day and has given us great memories to enjoy. The photographs are excellent; exactly the style and quality of the examples on his website. His service was professional, efficient and friendly; he really helped make us feel at ease on the day. And all this at a very competitive rate!

Peter thank you so much for capturing our wedding day so well - we absolutely love the photos and are really pleased with the great mix of natural documentary style photos as well as the more formal group shots. We would definitely recommend Peter, he is very professional and talented. Thanks again, Sarah and Ravi.
