Came all the way down to Hertfordshire to photograph our school prom. Both Chris and his colleague were amazing! They were great with the students, who loved having their pictures taken in a professional setting. Would highly recommend them to everyone. Thank you again!

A friendly informal greeting at the door was followed by excellent service for my very modest request of passport photos. Chris took the trouble to at least minimise the inevitable mugshot effect and care was taken for my exacting photo dimensions. I would definitely come back and recommend .

Many of our guests commented on how good Chris was and I would recommend him to anyone I know. May be back for a photo shoot sometime soon too. Thanks again for capturing our special day for us so well.

Just heading towards our first wedding anniversary and thought it might be a good time to give a little shout-out to Chris - a year on! We had a great day and thanks again Chris for all you did for us. We're so grateful to you for the photos, the album and all the memories that they represent. I remember you were almost ghost-like on the day - just there in the background gathering priceless images for us both to treasure forever. Thanks again my friend!

Today was my daughters 11th birthday party. The girls had such a great time and really enjoyed the photo shoot. Chris made us feel very welcome and as soon as the girls had a couple of photos they really got into it. I would definitely recommend going to chris for any photographs as they all looked amazing. Thank you so much again chris

Me and my wife have just been to see our photos Chris took at our wedding. He did an absolute fantastic job. He was excellent on the day, he captured some amazing shots without being too obtrusive. He came up with some great ideas on the day and we've ended up with a great portfolio of photos. We would recommend him to anyone who's getting married or having a special event. Overall great photographer and great professional.

Anyone looking for a photographer for their big day look no further. Chris captured our wedding on New Years eve and to say he did an amazing job would be a massive understatement, Friendly, Calming & professional are just 3 of the words I could use to describe Chris. Helpful on the lead up to the wedding & following it we received our photos so quickly and the quality of them is unreal. We cant thank you enough!
