Chris was our photographer for our engagement photoshoot in Cambridge and made it such a most memorable, fun experience! Right from the start, he was prompt in replying messages, and incredibly accomodating with our various requests! On the day itself, he was cheerful, kind and patient- and was able to put my fiance and I at ease throughout the photoshoot process! Chris was very quick with returning the photos and we were blown away by how beautifully he had framed each image- capturing both us, and the location perfectly. The colours of his photos are vivid and clear, and he has a way of capturing our expressions so candidly! We couldn't be happier with the photos we have received!

We were grateful to have Chris as the photographer at our wedding in Cambridge four years ago. It was a small ceremony with close family only and Chris captured amazing natural shots of everyone. He also took us to scenic spots around Cambridge centre for a photoshoot session afterwards, which was what we requested. We loved Chris' calming demeanor during the day, his eye for beauty and passion for photography and weddings.
He was so keen to capture every key moment and emotion, Chris did it unfailingly. Chris also delivered the photos very quickly as we wanted to print a few for another event afterwards. Chris is a highly talented wedding photographer who offers excellent professional service. Highly recommended!

We used Chris for our wedding in Cambridge in December and could not be more positive about him as a wedding photographer. Not only did we get lots of wonderfully curated pictures but he was also super patient and flexible during the day, which meant we could concentrate on enjoying ourselves and taking care of our guests. The quality of the pictures and videos were spot-on, would definitely recommend his services.

We asked Chris if he could do a family portrait to mark my parents' wedding anniversary. Chris was really flexible regarding location and date, and prior to the shoot was quick to respond to our many questions. On the day, Chris' friendly manner put us all at ease. He was even able to tame my 5 year old niece long enough to capture some really natural and memorable photos. I would highly recommend using Chris as your photographer.

Chris and his team were fantastic at our wedding in May. We couldn't have asked for anything more. The pictures and film were beautiful! What's more we had preview pics within a few days, and the full photo album ready in 2 weeks with the videos shortly after. We would recommend Chris and his team 100%. They helped make our day very special.

Chris was an absolute joy to work with not only on our wedding day, but also leading up to the event! Chris showed flexibility and patience and his go with the flow attitude, meant the day still seemed to run smoothly even when things were not going to plan (missing groom for a wee bit eek). It meant that my wife and I had one less thing to stress and worry about on the day. Chris' interactions with our guests were courteous and friendly, and as a result the pictures turned out amazing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Chris to anyone who needs a friendly, professional and talented photographer for their event, at reasonable prices.

Absolutely cannot recommend Chris enough! He photographed our wedding in August, and we have so many beautiful photos. He was a very chilled presence during the day, just capturing moments and stayed well into the dancing for some wonderful party shots! Tons of fun, natural shots with a mix of classic family shots too. We looked at several photographers, and just loved Chris' portfolio. The results from the day were even better than we could have hoped for! Highly, highly recommend!

Chris did the photography for our wedding in early November. He was not only great when working with us to plan and organise before the day, but was wonderfully calm on the day amidst all our relatives. The photos he's taken are beautiful and will be a reminder of an amazing day for years to come.

Chris was our wedding photographer six years ago (he also took two sets of engagement photos for us, one in Cambridge and one in Paris), and we cannot say enough wonderful things about him, both as a person and as a photographer. We absolutely loved our photos, as did our family & friends. On the day itself, Chris put everyone at ease and captured particularly special, unposed images of the children and older folks who attended. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to everyone.

Chris was a delight from start to finish. The pre-wedding planning was an easy stress-free process. On the day he was brilliant at grabbing the wonderful candid moments that really make the event, without feeling invasive or intrusive on any of the moments. The photos are all stunning and he got them back to us so quickly. Couldn't be happier. The hardest part of the whole process is now picking which one of the many gorgeous shots we want to hang up in our house. Too many to choose from!

My wife and I got married on 21st August 2021. Chris was our videographer. He was amazing. Helpful and communicative throughout. On the day he was direct and gave insight but did so in a measured way which was unobtrusive. He took some amazing shots and created a 1minute Instagram video and a 5 minute highlights video. We were so pleased with the result and have watched both many times over already.
They are beautiful and really capture the day. They are an artistic level that people could enjoy even if they were not there on the day. He also made the full dance, speeches, and Ceremony which perfectly capture our wonderful day. We cannot recommend Chris enough and if you are looking for a great videographer you should consider Chris. Best wishes, Amy & Pete Whitney

Chris joined us for our somewhat unconventional wedding in these covid-times which found us un-tied to a particular location or venue. This sort of situation I believe presents quite a few challenges photographically, as it is far more difficult to prepare and plan for the specific moments or compositions that you'd typically encounter in a more traditional wedding.
Chris was more than up to the challenge and tackled it with the same sense of fun, adventure, and confidence that we needed in order to properly capture and enjoy our day.
He was an absolutely delightful companion while we all explored the city together, looking for interesting locations to get the next shot. He brought a very calm and easy going presence to the day which made it effortless for us to relax and have fun with the shoot. And this is coming from a serial photo-avoider! The pictures turned out truly beautifully and my wife and I couldn't be happier about the entire experience. If you're hunting for a fantastically talented photographer, and also just a great guy, look no further! Thank you again Chris!!

Chris took photographs of my husband and I both as a couples photo shoot in Cambridge and at our wedding. Chris is so unassuming that you very quickly feel relaxed and at ease.and that's from someone who has always hated having their photo taken. Until Chris took my photo I honestly don't think I had ever looked good in one.but these i was happy to have enlarged and hung on the walls! At our wedding Chris mingled with guests taking photos.
Every single person commented how nice and friendly he was - be they young or old! We had asked him to take some guest photos and it still amazes me that Chris - despite not knowing these people - took photos that captured their characters as well as their likeness. I think that's what gets me about all of Chris' photos - people or buildings or animals look great in them - but you feel like you can see who they are, too.
He captures both image and personality, and his photos are brimming with life. I genuinely don't have the words for how brilliant Chris' photographs are. I defy anyone to meet him and then NOT want him to take their photos, or see his work and not be arranging their wedding for when he's free.

Chris photographed our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the photos. He is a true artist, and did an amazing job capturing the day in a natural and beautiful way. Also, throughout the planning process he was excellent with communication and after the fact he sent us the finished photos in less than a week! I highly recommend!

Chris photographed our wedding this summer and did a great job capturing some lovely moments very naturally, as well as being patient with big crowds of family in posed group shots! He also put together an album which we really love. He responded promptly throughout all our correspondence and was a really nice person to have photograph our special day. Thanks so much!

I chose Chris to be our wedding photographer because we absolutely loved the photos on his website - his relaxed, informal style and gorgeous compositions were exactly the sort of thing we wanted for our wedding day. I was even happier when we met him in person, because he seemed to really understand our requirements and was a thoroughly nice chap into the bargain! He did a brilliant job on the day and perfectly captured the jolly, sparkly atmosphere of our wedding.
All our guests were totally impressed with both the fantastic photographs and also with Chris himself - he blended in perfectly and was never obtrusive, and he had a really nice way with everyone and made them feel comfortable in front of the camera. We were delighted with our photographs, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a fantastic photographer for their special day!
