Even with twelve years of experience under his belt, Rik, by his own admission, still hasn’t seen it all for the simple reason no two weddings are the same. This is the man we’d want at our wedding.

Sarah’s diary usually books up within 18-24 months in advance – yes, she’s in very high demand. One look at her unparalleled portfolio and it’s easy to see why (it’s a little bit WOW, to say the least!).

Through The Woods We Ran

Style: Documentary
Where: South West & UK

We need to clarify, although we’ve described their style as documentary, they self-identify as somewhere between ‘documentary-style’ and somewhere between ‘we’re-just-here-to-make-you-look-f******-awesome photography’. And, hey, that’s exactly what they do. Every single shot, people look awesome. Every scenic shot, it looks awesome. Everything is awesome. If that’s what you’re after (and who isn’t?), that’s what you’ll get!
