“There aren’t enough wonderful words in the world to describe Ray or the pictures that he’s taken. They are out of this world amazing. You were everything we hoped to find in a photographer and more. Your laid back, down to earth, relaxed approach and your humour made our day even more amazing than it already was.”

“Ray did our wedding on the 5th November 2018!! He made us feel at ease as I’m not one who likes photos taken. He stayed with us till late and took as many photos as he possibly could. The photos where amazing, even better than I imagined them to be. I can’t wait to see which one’s belle bridal have chose to use in their magazine. Thanks for doing such an amazing job. I would well and truly recommend Ray to do photos for any wedding!”

“We booked Ray for our wedding on the 23rd November. Met him previously at a friends wedding where he was also their photographer and again had a pre meeting with him before ours, he instantly makes himself a friend which is comforting on a day filled with nerves as this puts you at ease. He gets on with everyone and becomes apart of the party! Our photos are amazing, his quick turnaround is incredible and does not lack quality due to this, I love each and every one of them and we’re now in the dilemma of only choosing certain ones to print. Highly recommended! Thank you so much! X”

“Fantastic service! Ray was accommodating, organised, diligent with details and so very amicable. My husband Dean, and I hired Ray to do our wedding photos, initially for a date in July but had to push the wedding date to November. Ray was accommodating, pleasant to interact with and just an all-round star when it came to this!  We were particularly impressed with how organised he was, with the provision of login details that gave us access to invoices, forms we had filled out for him as well as an eventual resting place for our photographs. Not sure if this is the norm nowadays but it’s these details that made us feel very secure in our choice in the run-up to the wedding.  On the big day itself, Ray was punctual, well prepared and friendly. He was particularly quick and efficient when it came to the couple portraits (thankfully, because it was a freezing day on a windy hilltop!), taking only 10-20 minutes to get the shots he had planned and taking some impromptu ones I wanted as well. The results were spectacular!  Couldn’t recommend him enough!”

“Absolutely amazing. We have just finished going through all our images that ray got back to us in 4 days. I’ve laughed and cried re living the day. These pictures are full of love, happiness and fun and I will treasure them forever. Ray was also fun and totally down to earth and a pleasure to have at our wedding. Thank you so much!!!!”

“Ray did an amazing job and took every picture we asked him too. Nothing was too much. He was friendly and comfortable having him there. It was as though he were one of the guests as the atmosphere around him was so relaxed. He kept an eye on the weather too, ensuring we had photo’s taken at the best time. He made everything work. I would highly recommend Ray. We’ve had loads of comments on our photo’s about how amazing they are. Thanks a lot Ray.”

“Wow what an amazing photographer. He managed to capture every single moment of the day perfectly & he was so friendly and kind to all of the wedding party. You have to trust his ideas as he 100% knows what he is doing and the end results are amazing and magical. Do not hesitate to book him, you won’t regret it!”
