“Ray was one of the best things about our day. He kept us calm, kept us laughing and kept everybody in check! Every single photo we got back was INCREDIBLE and we haven’t even had them all back yet! Ray was a perfect blend of professional and friendly, it didn’t feel like a photographer, he felt like our best friend who we had known for years. I couldn’t recommend this man enough and can’t thank him enough. You’d be silly not to choose him! We love the GINGER NINJA!”

“Where do I start with Ray Sawyer? Just a totally amazing photographer. We were so lucky to have had such a brilliant guy, capturing all our memories on our special day! He was great from start to finish, he was on time, no infact he was early for the start of the day to do the bridal prep photos. And he kept capturing gorgeous photos throughout the day, right until the first dance was over! He was just amazing. Can’t fault a thing. Plus to top it off, he isn’t over priced and will always go that extra mile for you. Nothing is too much! I assure if you book Ray, you’ll not be disappointed. Thank you so much once again Ray. xx”

“Ray was absolutely amazing at our wedding and two weeks later people are still talking about how beautiful our photos are and how awesome he was on the day. I was worried we wouldn’t get very good photos as we can both be a bit reserved, but Ray was so funny, he not only put us at ease but he made our guests and us have such a laugh. What we loved most about Ray was his excitement. He would practically bound over to us with an idea he had and he was just bursting with enthusiasm and passion. He clearly loves what he does. We can’t recommend Ray enough. We are so glad we chose him as our photographer.”

“Unbelievable photographer. It was great to have Ray for our wedding day. He was a nice person, that made you feel at ease and gave you all the tips on how to look 100% on every photo. Meeting Ray firstly before our big wedding day was a pleasure also, he talked me and my wife through the basic layout of our big day. This helped us so we didn’t feel pressured on just getting photos took throughout the day. Anyone who wouldn’t have Sawyer and Sawyer Photography at there wedding would be missing out big time. Top man thanks again Ray you have made my wife and I very pleased with your work.”

“Ray… where do we start? From our very first meeting I knew I could trust you to capture our very special day. You are the exact recipe for success…genuine, friendly and professional with a great heart and eye for detail. You are ambitious and forward thinking and all of our friends and family commented on your amazing service. It was like having a friend attend our wedding who just so happened to take the best photos. You promptly sent u s the link and I can’t tell you how Happy we both are with the end result… and how proud that we could play a tiny part in yet another award. Desperately trying to think of another reason to book you. Big love, Mr & Mrs Turner.”
