Where do we start, Karl was amazing on our big day, he was more than just our photographer he was a great support and went above and beyond to ensure our day ran as smoothly as possible. Karl was so friendly, he made everyone relax and even laugh about the mishaps. We wanted natural moments captured as well as formal photos and he was there every moment capturing what he could. Everyone said how great he was and how he just fitted in to every moment so naturally. We can not wait to see our photos. Thank you again so much.

I'm going to split this review in two: 1) The photos. They're amazing and we couldn't be happier. Karl's documentary-style has captured the day exactly how we want to remember it - natural and fun. He also did the odd set piece where the opportunity arose, or where we requested it. And briefly whisked us outside for what turned out to be really cool shots (one outside a garage, which weirdly works!). 2) The photographer. Karl is a genuinely nice, laid back guy. The kind you'd happily go for a pint with. That's important on the day - it's tough to avoid being a bit anxious, overawed, etc. Last thing you need is someone bugging you all day. There was none of that - he's not pushy at all and for the most part fades into the background doing his thing. Overall, we can't recommend him enough. Thanks, James & Christin

I wish the words existed to express just how happy we are with our photos. we waited a lot of years to be able to afford the wedding day we both wanted and knew we'd need a photographer up to the job of catching the memories in picture form, that we may lose in our minds some day. After extensive searching we came across Karl and instantly fell in love with his style and approach. It was important to us that our photographs appear candid and authentic and told an accurate story of each moment. It was abundantly clear that Karl values this style and approach of photography too. Every picture tells the most perfect story and evokes the best of memories. The feel of the day, the love shared between everybody and the laughter and enjoyment is captured exactly as it happened with each photo. We opted for two photographers (Karl with the bride and Paul with the groom) which i'm so glad we did. Most people have raved about both of them in terms of professionality and their personalities. Both are such amazing guys with a clear passion for what they do. We had such a laugh with them and honestly believe they added positively to the day even without their cameras in tow. Just about every guest would happily be their friend and go for a drink with them both. I wish I had better words to describe how grateful we are for their work and how lovely they both are as people but unfortunately, this is the best I can do. I'd recommend them to absolutely anybody and everybody. Thank you again, Mr and Mrs Dixon

AMAZING!! Thanks so much Karl (& to Babs) for photographing our wedding day on 29.12.17 at Stirk House. We had a bloody brilliant day and a brilliant pair of photographers! To have the set of photos that we have is awesome - I literally cannot stop looking through them. Karl is such a nice, relaxed, cool, easy going guy who really fit in to our whole wedding day, making us feel at ease throughout and capturing the perfect shots from the start to the very end of our day! The photos are natural, funny, beautiful, REAL and a true reflection of the day that we had! I would highly recommend Karl for being a great guy, his fab skills/ documentary style of photography and for giving us the perfect memories.... we can't thank you enough!! Mr & Mrs P ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
