“Paul was our wedding photographer and we couldn’t have been happier with his work. From the moment he arrived at our house to the end of the first dance, he couldn’t have been more professional. He was discreet, I barely noticed he was there most of the day, yet captured such intimate memories of our special day for us to cherish forever. The finished photographs are first class and there is absolutely nothing else that we would have wanted. He captured everything, our whole wedding day, as it happened, from start to finish. Including a few traditional posed family shots (to keep the relatives happy) and some beautiful artistic and abstract scenes. He captured the joy and laughter throughout the day, on the faces of the adults and children alike. These are photo’s we are going to be looking at and loving for a lifetime. Thank you Paul, you are a superstar!”

Jo and Lee’s Burrows Wedding Photographs
“It was important to us that our wedding photography captured us as people and our story. We didn’t want the cliche posed photos that we’ve seen (beautifully) replicated so many time before. We went to Paul as we’d seen his work and were confident in his talents. He just blended in on the day, capturing moments and working his magic. The finished product far surpassed our expectations. We couldn’t recommend him more. Thank you for capturing our story.”
Adam & Simon’s Birmingham Wedding Party
“Paul went above and beyond to photograph our wedding day! Myself and my partner didn’t want stilted poses but did want photographs that represent us as a couple and capture the fun, love and atmosphere of our big day and Paul absolutely delivered on all counts. Paul even returned after leaving for the day, as there was one last photo he couldn’t leave without taking! He’s an absolute pro! And a lovely man to boot! Highly recommended! ✨️”
Myles and Tiff’s Wedding
“Paul did my 50th 5 yrs ago and he was my first choice to do our wedding reception. Paul stealthily mingled and socialised with our guest and managed to shoot over 300 high quality photos of everyone having fun.
Each time I look at the photo’s I fall in love with your work even more. We couldn’t be happier.
I will recommend you to anyone and you will always be my first choice for the next event.
Thank you so much Paul. Keep up the good work
Much love”
Optional: Short Hybrid Highlight Film
Alongside photography, I offer a short hybrid highlight — a 5–8 minute film that blends selected moments of motion with your documentary imagery.
This is a simple, story-led addition designed to bring extra atmosphere to your gallery. It is not a full-length wedding film with extended ceremony or speeches coverage.
If you’re considering both photography and film, I’ll explain the differences between this option and a full film created through P&H Visionaries coverage when we speak.
