RAY SAWYER REVIEWS

Ray photographed our wedding in June with additional videography, and we're so delighted with the results. Ray himself was so easy to communicate and work with - he made us feel so at ease on the day and his presence never felt intrusive. He had us in stitches for most of the day, which helped us all feel so relaxed and helped him capture some amazing shots. There are moments of the day he captured which I will treasure forever, particularly on film for our highlights video. Ray's an absolute talent and we would highly recommend him for your wedding.

Ray is perhaps the best find of our entire wedding. He fitted in like one of the guests with a fantastic sense of humour and such a beautiful attention to detail. The photos are incredible showing each emotion of the whole day - even the questionable dance moves at night. Thank you Ray for making it so perfect - the BEST uk wedding photographer hands down.

Simply put - Ray is fantastic. His approach was second to none throughout the build up and during the day, resulting in some amazing images that friends and family adore. He went down an absolute storm with the wedding guests too - they couldn't believe he was there from the very early morning to very nearly being the last man on the dancefloor! 100% recommend - if you want great images from your special day - get Ray booked.

INFINITY PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDIOS LTD REVIEWS

Im really glad I saw Infinity Photographic Studios during my search! Im always camera shy and hated when my photo is taken so I was quite hesitant to have a maternity shoot but I went and did it anyway. At first I was a bit nervous as I was stepping out my comfort zone, but Alan reassured me, he was very chill and friendly, he made my whole experience relaxing and made me felt comfortable throughout the shoot. The atmosphere in the studio was very calming, no rush and I felt really secure. I also like how he gave options to use any of the available dresses and gowns he had in the studio, because honestly I wasn't very prepare and only had one dress with me. Im really glad I was able to use one and it made so much difference in terms of the outcome of the photos, the lighting and angle. When I saw the photos afterwards I was really really happy and cant wait to show it to everyone!! So thank you Alan! Ill be back with my little one soon.

I was in two minds whether to go ahead with a maternity shoot having never had a photo shoot before, never mind doing one at 36 weeks pregnant. I am not the most confident person and was feeling a bit nervous prior. However, I’m so pleased I did it! Alan was brilliant and made me feel relaxed and comfortable throughout. He made my experience a positive one and I was really happy with how the photos turned out. Thanks again Alan.

I recently visited Infinity Studios for a Maternity Photoshoot, I was unsure about doing the photoshoot but Alan was kind and reassuring. I'm really happy with my photos and the photoshoot. I would recommend.

CHRIS HUGHES PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEWS

I recommend you to book Chris for your big day or any other photographs you may want taken. He arrived on time, he was friendly and approachable, and made us feel at ease throughout the whole day. He was very professional and listened to everything we wanted and never left till we were happy. Both me and my husband are a bit awkward with photos etc but you wouldn't be able to tell by the fantastic pictures he has taken. He had great communication from the moment we booked him, and made sure we were in the loop about everything; timings etc. We love both our pictures and videos and again I recommend you to book Chris.

Chris is a phenomenal photographer. He captured our wedding day beautifully, including both formal portraits and lovely candid photos of our wedding guests enjoying the celebrations. Very friendly and down to earth. Would highly recommend his services.

Great service, really put the subjects at ease including children. Nice personality and patience, important traits for a photographer. Thanks again.
