Testimonials

We have had the pleasure of working with Chris on multiple projects, and his work has consistently exceeded our expectations. He is highly professional, with exceptional attention to detail, ensuring that every project is executed to the highest standard. The content he produces has been invaluable for our case studies, directly contributing to securing new clients.

Chris is our go to photographer/videographer, and we truly appreciate his ability to accommodate last minute bookings while always delivering high quality files promptly. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with him and highly recommend his services!

Chris came to our property to take promotional images for our Airbnb website. He was very polite and respectful and worked autonomously without fuss. The images were edited quickly and to the highest standards. We are extremely delighted with the results; they are better than we could have imagined. Chris will certainly be hired by us again.

—Andrew Duncan

Elaborate wooden staircase in a period home with golden walls and arched architectural features.

Highly recommend! Chris went the extra mile by scouting out good spots before our wedding day and making sure he was around to capture the key moments. We are really impressed with the quality of the photos and we’re surprised by the shots he took as we didn’t notice him taking photos throughout the day! Quick turnaround, and also super friendly and responsive to emails. The drone shot was a crowd favourite and made for some great photos!

Great work from Chris—lovely photos of our birthday celebrations. He caught the fun and the atmosphere perfectly. Friendly guy with top-class equipment!

We hired Chris for a doggy photoshoot while on holiday in the Peak District. I thought it might feel quite silly but Chris is a super nice guy, easy to chat to, and helped make it a very fun and memorable experience on our holiday. Despite our two subjects not being the easiest (our dogs can’t sit still / rarely take direction or listen to instructions) he managed to capture some wonderful pictures of our two pooches – both posed and with them moving in action, and sent them all across really quickly. Would 100% Chris (whether for a doggy photoshoot or otherwise).

—Fred B, Dog owner

I contacted Chris because I was looking to get some portrait-style photographs taken for my website and promotional material. He was very responsive to and positive about my enquiry and interested to understand the nature of my work. Chris brought his studio to me so I didn’t have to go anywhere and, at the actual photo-shoot itself, he soon put me at my ease and handled everything in a professional and friendly manner. He had some great ideas about what might work with attention to the details that would make a difference. I was able to relax and have a bit of fun and I enjoyed the whole process.

Chris turned the photographs around quickly and sent me a bundle that I can work with. I have to say the quality of Chris’s work is fantastic and I’ve been surprised by and delighted with the results. I wanted the photographs to show me as I am and he has captured that really well. I would have no hesitation in recommending Chris and his photography. He combines high quality work with a warm, friendly and professional approach.
