Once again many thanks and we hope in the future we will have the opportunity to work with you again."
Charlene and James Ives
"Our baby is nearly 11 months old and because we haven't done any professional photos when he was tiny, we thought we would do it before he turns one. We booked our photo shoot session in Kingston and were extremely happy with how it went.
Paul put us all at ease and made sure we enjoyed the session. He was very good with our boy and not only made him laugh but also us, which resulted in beautiful and smiley photos!
After viewing the final photos we've ordered a family package with big portrait, plus 7 other photos and a DVD with a slide show. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking about having some professional photos taken!"

Kelly Stevenson, Walton-on-thames
"We found Paul and Alexandra online. Once we phoned them to discuss the options for having photos of our 10 month old son and us together we knew that it would be a great experience. Even in the discussions prior to our photo session they accommodated us with times, days, full information on prices and some tips on what to wear to make the photos stand out!
On the day it took us 35 minutes to get all the photos taken, Paul made our little boy very at ease and knew what pose would look good on camera and he made him smile easily!
Since our experience we have recommended Paul to all our friends for a great experience, professional care, great results and value for money. Thanks very much Paul!"
Anatis Sahafi, London

"I would like to thank both you and Alex for all your hard work on our wedding day and all the occasions we met with you previously to make arrangements for the big day. We liked you from the moment we met you and knew we would be pleased with the outcome of our album. We were astounded as it was only by chance I found you on the internet, at how fantastic your work is and how professional you are. We will definitely be recommending you to other people. We could not have asked for a better photographer, to capture the atmosphere perfectly of our special day. You both made us feel so at ease, and were so patient with the little ones who did not want to stand still. At some point I had forgotten you were even there capturing the more natural shots. It was so wonderful when we saw the shots, and was able to remember all of what happened on the day."

The standard and quality of the final products were very high and have made a beautiful addition to our family pictures displayed around our home.
We also found that follow up with phone calls and emails from the photographer very professional."

Paul was happy to try different shots and the resulting portfolio of photos was great. He helped us select our photos and create a montage and we very much felt that he was there to help us and advise us and never once did we feel we were under pressure to buy. We love our photos and would recommend this to anyone who wants to capture those special milestones in life. It was an investment but 'good value for money' and we are so pleased we did this!"

Every step of the way we have been impressed from our first consultation, to the organised, friendly and calm manor which Paul captured the images on the day, to the care and attention spent producing the album, we couldn't have asked for more. Paul's discreet and friendly manner on the day was impressive and has resulted in an album full of photos that caught the mood and moments, sensitively and artistically. The album design is unique and something we will proudly treasure. We can't recommend Paul highly enough.”
Lou and Mark Davies
“We were having a relatively informal wedding and we wanted the pictures to reflect this – Paul achieved this perfectly. We have an album of photos that really capture the feeling of the day for us, with a mix of group shots and some fantastic reportage style pictures. Paul had spoken to us before our wedding about what we were looking for – and it’s clear that he really understood what we wanted, and produced a collection of pictures that make us smile every time we look at them!”

“Paul took some outstanding photographs at our recent Parliamentary Seminar on Africa at the British Museum in London. As the official photographer, he worked diligently and mixed well with the 120 politicians from Africa, Europe and North America who attended the event as well as with famous figures such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Some 300 photographs were taken – and 30 of them were used in the latest issue of the IPU Review which is circulated to all MPs, Peers, Government Ministers, Ambassadors and many politicians overseas. Paul also took great pains to ensure accuracy in captioning his work.”
David Kemp, Media Advisor to the British Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union and Editor of the IPU Review.
“As a Manager with Tesco, I was shocked to be asked to feature in a calendar which was to be sold to support our annual charity! We selected Paul to take the photographs on a personal recommendation. Being truly amateur "models", we were all very nervous on the day of the shoot, however we were put immediately at ease by Paul and Alex who were truly professional and very understanding. Paul advised us on the best shots to take, he made us all feel very comfortable and relaxed and we were delighted with the photos which are to be published in a 2007 calendar. Watch out Hollyoaks girls!!”
Helen Skeet, Personnel Manager, Tesco, Caterham.
