“Lloyd did our Wedding photographs for us on 22.09.19 and we couldn't be happier with them! He arranged to meet us 6 weeks before the day at the venue to go through all the details and to help put our minds at ease knowing he knew exactly what we wanted! On the day, he knew where to be and what to do. Lloyd's photos are amazing and I am so happy we will always have such happy memories to look back on! - Thank you, Lloyd!”
— Kim & Matt
“Lloyd was really relaxed and we never found him to be in the way, which is exactly what we asked for him to be like. Lloyd caught our day amazingly and we have loved looking through and showing off our wedding album. so once again we'd like to thank you for your amazing photographs”
— Tracey & Dan
“It wasn't the day/date that was originally planned but we managed to pull it off with 2 days notice and luckily Lloyd was available to be there and photograph our special day. Due to the pandemic we were only allowed 10 guests and Lloyd captured the intimate and beautiful day that it was. Lloyd was very professional, creative and was an honorary member of the family by the end of the day and we cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you Lloyd for all your help, ideas the beautiful pictures that you took!”

“Lloyd did a engagement shoot for us in Feb and it was beautiful, he knew of lovely spots to capture beautiful scenes behind. And well he did our wedding at the end of May and he was amazing. He’s such a lovely guy he could not do enough for us, he communicated throughout the day, stayed until he felt he had everything and captured beautiful pictures. I was worried following the day that just went at speed of light that we had hardly any pictures, was I far but wrong Lloyd had been catching moments all day and the end result is perfect.
Not that I plan on getting married again but I would defo return to Lloyd
