Why it's a dream for your wedding photos

Here is a lovely testimonial I received from a recent client after they received their Acklam Hall wedding day photo gallery
Honestly I don't think we can do Mick's service justice in a few words here. Not only were his photos simply amazing, he captured the day so well and was an absolute pleasure to be around. He made the process so stress free and was super friendly. The bridal party all commented on how easy he was to work with and the venue coordinator loved him too.
It was his idea to do the photo attached to this review. It took only about 10 minutes out of our night as he set everything up and there was no waiting around for us at all. He is very considerate and unobstrusive in his style, which is exactly what we wanted. This photo is simply iconic and it will be displayed in our home for the rest of our lives. We are so grateful he suggested it.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a photgrapher. We were quite reluctant subjects but we just literally laughed all the time we were with him. Nothing was too much trouble and he really was a huge part of our day. We have even booked him again for an upcoming birthday party too - so we can't give a higher recommendation than that really!
