Chris was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From our first meeting, it was clear that he was not just a photographer but a true artist. Chris has an incredible ability to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. On the wedding day Chris captured every special moment, yet was so unobtrusive that it felt like he was part of the family. The candid shots, the emotions, the little details - every photo told the story of our day so beautifully.
We barely noticed the camera and yet he managed to capture the essence of every moment. The photos we received were beyond anything we could have hoped for. Every single photo is breathtaking from the romantic to the fun moments! Chris has an amazing eye for light, composition and capturing genuine moments. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the best day of our lives over and over again.
Not only is Chris an incredibly talented photographer, but he has also such a kind, positive and calming presence, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who will not only capture stunning images but also make your day even more special, Chris is the one. We couldn't be happier with the results and will cherish these photos forever! Thank you so much Chris for giving us the most beautiful memories of our day. You are truly amazing!

We had Chris on our wedding day after our videographer we had planned for cancelled (due to an emergency).
Chris came to the rescueliterally! In terms of Chris as a person, he is exceedingly polite, well mannered, calm and easy going. This really made it easy for us to speak with him and explain the structure of our wedding day. We had a pre wedding meeting with Chris at short notice and were able to explain what we were hoping for to which he was exceedingly understanding but also offered advice and recommendations to improve the order of our special day.
On our wedding day it rained therefore the order of the day had to be modified. Chris was flexible and professional. What is more is that he worked seamlessly with our photographer, even though he had never worked with them prior. This was a real testament to Chriss professionalism. We have seen Chriss work and are happy with the results.
Chris, thank you for being there on our special day.

I hired Chris for my proposal whilst punting in Cambridge. He was excellent from the start, with great communication, very quick replies and excellent pointers to improve the experience (such as timing of sunset, where best to propose etc). On the day Chris arrived early and communicated with the tour guides. With all the nerves, Chris made everything else so easy.

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!

I had planned a birthday punt for my sister and friends in Cambridge. Chris was super fast to respond and book the session with no stress. He arrived ahead of time and was so amiable. He was relaxed and kept quietly to himself whilst we enjoyed the event. Nothing was too much of an ask, he knew how to capture the special moments which were natural and unposed. I would 100% recommend Chris. His photographs were simply wonderful and are a great memento for years to come.

Chris is not only a skilled photography but also a lovely person! Chris has kindly helped me with photography for the Cambridge Union, Cambridge University Entrepreneurs, and Clare College. I have enjoyed all my conversations with Chris and have utilized his photography for various social media platforms. Cannot recommend him enough!

We couldn't recommend Chris enough as a photographer. He was so friendly and accommodating with moving our dates due to COVID, and on the day he was excellent. He made us feel comfortable and nothing was too much. Thanks a lot Chris. We absolutely love the photos.

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.

We booked Chris as our videographer for our wedding in June, and it was possibly one of the best decisions we made. He was extremely calm and professional and had a very kind presence. He came for bridal prep and stayed until the dancing began, blending in to the wedding seamlessly. I have watched the wedding highlights video so many times already and each time i am filled with such emotion. Thankyou so so much for giving us all the memories and the feelings!

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.

We honestly could not have asked for more from a photographer than Chris delivered. He cared deeply about our enjoyment and memories of our wedding day - from going the extra mile to get the perfect shot, to pleasantly and pragmatically negotiating the photography rules at our particularly Covid-strict venue. The quality of the final product was great, and were ecstatic with the blown up versions weve now had wall-mounted.

I have worked with many professional photographers/videographers in the past.
Chris set another bar in terms of quality of service. His approach, understanding and instructions will ensure that anyone or group that hires him will receive nothing but the best. I have no hesitancy in recommending Chris to anyone, so whether its a pre wedding shoot or private party... or anything in between. Thanks again Chris.

Chris was our photographer for our wedding back in October after we looked on his website and decided that we liked his style the most and we were not disappointed. Me and my wife are extremely camera shy and we don't usually like being the centre of attention but Chris is one of the friendliest photographer we have met. Not only did he made us feel comfortable in front of the camera but we actually enjoyed and it felt more like a friend helping us take photos :) we probably gave Chris a challenge with our more chinese traditions part of the wedding which he has never done before, but he was definitely up for a challenge and was a great sport. Definitely recommend Chris.

Chris photographed our wedding in September 2017. We had previously seen him shoot a close friends wedding and loved the way he worked, capturing candid images throughout their day. It was really important to us to have the memory of our wedding captured in a natural way and Chris managed this and some! His photos really caught the feeling of our day and are something we now have to remind us of this for the rest of our lives.
The pre-wedding shoot helped us get to know Chris and helped him suss us out too. From this point on we felt in safe hands and had complete faith that he would deliver a great series of images. I couldnt recommend him highly enough. Thank you Chris!

We had Chris capture our day and we felt lucky to have him do so. He really made us feel at ease, almost forgetting he was there which was great. - His photography has a great natural, documentary feel to them which we really love.You can defiantly tell this isn't just wedding photography to Chris, this is his passion and he loves what he does.
...Chris, you were super kind and thoughtful, and I just want to say thank you
