"Just a quick note to thank you for your fabulous photographs, which captured our wedding day so perfectly.

Many have commented how your relaxed style put them at ease & that you genuinely seemed to be enjoying yourself that day!"

"May I say, having now seen the photographs, how pleased we are with the outcome. It was refreshing to be at a wedding where there was not an interminable interlude while every conceivable pose of all possible combinations of people was set up. Your approach is so much better; the photos record the event, rather than dictate its proceedings. Naomi was delighted with the whole day and can look back on it with pleasure, aided by the photos which have captured much of the relaxed atmosphere which made it so special"
- Philip Smith (Naomi's Dad)
"Many thanks for the fantastic photos you took on our wedding day. Many of our guests commented on how friendly and unobtrusive you were on the day - you really captured the spirit of the day ... Once again thank you for the lovely photos - we are really pleased with them."
- Lyndsey & Jason

Joseph Molly, 5 years old who has a PNET Brain Tumour, made a wish to be a Pirate. The 'Make A Wish Foundation' granted Joseph's wish and he spent the day at The Hartlepool Maritime Experience as a pirate on the pirate ship with Captain Jack Sparrow. I was asked to photograph the event for The Make A Wish Foundation and to be sensitive to the situation. "Thank you so much for these they look fab!
