What can I say? Linus gave us the most incredible photos to cherish from our wedding day. They spoke volumes about how much emotion and joy there was. And they transport us at a glance to the moment they were taken.But aside from that fantastic quality you want from your photographer, Linus offered even more! He was an absolute trooper! He arrived at our door bright as a button at 6am sharp, and stayed with us, still smiling until 7pm. He followed us around the New Forest, and even took us on a trip to get some more intimate photos. And on top of all of that, he spent the majority of the day shooting in the rain! AND still... Our photos are stunning. He really captured the essence of the day for us. And we can't thank him enough. Whilst he was shooting through the day, we had no idea where he was! He was everywhere! Alot of our guests commented how they had no idea how he got to the other side of a river quite so fast. He knew what shots he wanted and he didn't mess around getting them. And the result was a massive variety of beautifully natural shots. He caught everyone's best side, somehow seeking out the perfect moments before they even arose. And on top of all of this, the level of care in planning the day with us was wonderful. We had several phone meetings to nail down details, met up on site to have a walk and take in the possibilities. All ensuring he had an image of what we wanted, and get to know is as a couple! And once the day was finished we were gifted with our beautiful images, and a celebratory box of champagne truffles. A perfect way to view your pictures in our opinion! So to summerise, if your hire Linus to capture your wedding. Your won't be disappointed. You'll get beautiful heartfelt photos, and will get to know a fascinating and lovely man. More...

My wife and I are so pleased we came across Linus when searching for a photographer to shoot our wedding. The photos are stunning, natural and perfectly capture the day. On top of the photos, Linus is a genuine pleasure to work with either side of the event, setting up Skype calls, arranging to meet us beforehand etc. If you are considering Linus to photograph your event, you won’t be disappointed.

We had an idea to shoot some family pics at Corfe Castle, while holidaying from Australia. We found Linus online, reached out and were very glad we did. Linus was very easy to work with, great with our kids and produced a large number of high quality photos. Special memories and a terrific experience. Thanks Linus. More...

From the very first conversation with Linus we knew he was going to do a great job with our wedding photography, and he didn’t let us down! The photos we got back from our special day were really amazing and managed to capture all the memorable moments, from getting ready through to the evening party, so that we’ll have them to treasure forever. What’s more is we got our photos back really quickly (within 3 weeks) which was super, because once the day is over you just want to re-live it! If you looking for a wedding photographer, we couldn’t recommend Linus more highly for your big day. More...

Linus was so lovely from first chat to the end of our day. We felt very at ease with him and that's saying something as my husband hates getting his photo taken! The first sneak peek photos came through after just two days and I love them. His documentary style is exactly what we wanted, natural and fun and captured the essence of the day so much better than a posed shot ever could. He even travelled all the way from Dorset to the North of England. The final edit was perfect, we couldn't be happier with how natural the pictures looked. We recommend him 100% Thank you Linus More...

I cannot recommend Linus Moran more highly . He was an absolute pleasure to have around on the day and the resulting images have blown me / all the family away . Linus Is very talented and I can’t recommend him enough. I’ll divide my review into three sections : 1. approach , 2. quality of shots and 3. pricing .1. His approach . Linus set a plan before the wedding about which photos should be ‘caught’ ie as a must - a plan discussed with us beforehand . So, you do need a photographer, in my opinion , who is organised and is going to make sure that he or she gets those certain ‘must have’ shots ie when the light is good/ the rain has stopped/ the opportunity strikes . Linus did that - he made made sure that he got those shots. Example: I wanted outside shots and , in the small ‘rain-free’ window that we had on the day, Linus ‘lined us all up’ and got those shots . So he’s a focused person . But he wasn’t too pushy . He was clearly extremely experienced. What was also good , is that he gets the balance right . For example: at one point, at the wedding breakfast , we started wandering around the tables of guests , so we could say hello to every guest ( so glad we did that ). Linus had reminded me , before I did that, that I had said I ideally wanted certain other shots with certain people . Anyway , because I was so caught up in the wedding , I forgot what Linus had said ( about the further shots) and continued to see the guests . Linus didn’t say to me ‘susan , you really need to stop going round the tables now , as we now need to get shots e f and g ‘ , what he did , was he worked out that we had key shots a b c and d already and that there was a balance to be struck ie between the experience of the day and the need for further ( bonus) good shots. I liked that. I wouldn’t have wanted to miss out on the experience of seeing each of the guests on the day ie just to gain another few ‘bonus shots’ . Linus instead started taking shots of us with the guests as we spoke to them and, funnily enough , those are some of my favourite photographs as it happens . Some photographers, as I understand it , from the wedding coordinator, put the ‘shots’ above the experience , which includes stopping brides for a posed shot on the way down the aisle !! but Linus has got the balance absolutely right . Totally professional . 2. Quality of the shots - Linus’s shots are top quality. The images are really interesting too - they are true portrayals of the wedding , that have somehow managed to pick up on people’s characters and the nuances of people/ the subtleties/ the emotions of the day, ie all of this has been captured on the photos. When I received my photos , It was like relieving the day. Mum and Dad felt the same. I say this as someone who is a tricky customer too! I am a creative person , but as a solicitor, I’m also a detail driven person. On top of that , I have a Dad who has won national awards for photography and who vetted the photographers that I short listed and who picked Linus . Despite Dad and I being quite careful customers, in the sense of having high standards, we were blown away by the quality. The photographs are just excellent .3. A totally fair price for an amazing photographer - . More...

"Gosh he was bloody good wasn't he!" said so many of our guests who have seen our wedding photos. And he was! Linus managed to capture the whole feel to the day in his photos including the funny and emotional moments. It was wonderful to see the parts of the day that we had both missed and the photos of our guests arriving and enjoying themselves. Linus was very friendly and professional from start to finish and put us at ease throughout the whole process. He even managed to iron out a couple of hiccups on the day for us as well! Cannot recommend enough! More...

Linus did a 'Day in the Life' photoshoot with us. We were immediately put at ease by his calm and easy demeanour, his relaxed approach with the kids, capturing those intimate shots without being intrusive, his professionalism in the midst of the chaos of 3 lively children. With skill and foresight he immortalised precious memories that we will treasure forever. We loved his style of natural, un-posed, everyday, real and raw moments. He captured the individuality of our 3 children perfectly, their energy and zeal for life, their every changing facial expressions and mannerisms that can be lost in a blink of an eye! Thank you for this incredible opportunity! More...

Linus,Thank you so, so much for capturing our two days in the most magnificent way. When we originally viewed your portfolio, we were very excited to meet you and discuss what we wanted from a wedding photographer. After speaking with you just the once, we knew you were the right man for the job, but we couldn’t have imagined that we would have received such stunning images – far beyond our expectations.You and Will were both a pleasure to work with during the preparation and everything we discussed, as to how we pictured our wedding was captured in images that will be with us for a lifetime. Looking back at them brings back such wonderful and vivid memories despite the two days flying by! You captured so many intimate moments whilst people were unaware of your presence, making it all the more special. The way in which you both conducted yourselves throughout the two days was also highly praised by our friends and family… if my dad thinks you did a great job, as a fellow photographer, then that is very high praise indeed!! The trouble now comes with deciding which photos we would like putting into an album and printing for our home as there are so many to choose from.Thank you for documenting BOTH wedding days so brilliantly, and we very much hope to cross paths with you again in the near future.Chris & Beena More...

Wow! I cannot rate Linus's photography of our wedding highly enough. His full set of pictures is more than just a generic wedding album it's like an entire story book of the day which doesn't only capture the main events or smaller details of the day but also captures the emotion felt through every part of it in the most natural way. We are so happy and feel so lucky to have a set of photos which will enable us to relive the day so vividly for the rest of our lives, remembering how every moment really felt and not just what it looked like. Linus's style is so natural and candid that these pictures won't date or age - no uncomfortable posing and no unnatural filters over anything, they're just timeless and all of our guests have been blown away by them - many being bought to tears by them. In the lead up to the wedding, Linus made sure he knew exactly what we wanted in terms of both general style and specific formal photos and we couldn't have felt more at ease and full of total confidence in him. During the day itself we totally switched off from wondering whether or not each moment was being captured how we wanted it to be, we just knew he had it all in hand. And sure enough, just over a week after the wedding, Linus sent us the whole album. We couldn't believe how quickly they arrived! Looking through the full set we got to see so much of the day that both of us had missed, it's like he was everywhere at all times and yet he was never intrusive. I have no idea how he managed this...it was a big house with many different rooms and areas outside and somehow he didn't miss a thing! 100% track record of 5 star reviews for Linus is no surprise and absolutely well deserved. We can't thank you enough Linus!!! Chad & Melanie Maunsel House, Somerset - 13.10.2018 More...

Superb Photographer! Linus was engaged and proactive about the plans for our wedding from the start, and makes sure he's very well prepared, taking a keen interest in the plans for the day. My wife and I wanted someone to simply take care of the photography, so we didn't have to worry. We didn't want too many 'staged' photos, and just wanted someone to go around the wedding and capture the genuine feel and mood of the day whilst going unnoticed and unobtrusive.Linus is a professional and spent the entire day getting on with the job and managed to capture lots and lots of images that we loved and didn't even have a clue he was taking them or where he was. Afterwards, we wanted some top-quality prints (that won't fade) and an album, his services on that front were prompt and the results were great. If you and your loved one a looking for a photographer of high standards and great service then Linus comes highly recommended from us! More...

I don't know where to start. I love photographs and didn't know where to start looking for our wedding photographer. A friends highly recommended Linus and let's say the rest is history.

From the moment I first met Linus I was filled with confidence & his photographs speak for themselves....stunning!

Linus was extreamly professional from first meeting, run up to the wedding, on the day and to receiving our beautiful photographs. In the nicest possibly way we hardly saw him on our day yet he captured the most beautiful photos. It was as if he was in the front row seat for capturing the images he did yet we were totally unaware of him being there.

Me and my husband don't like posing for photos and not once did we have to do this. Linus just told us to enjoy our day and he would capture it as it unfolded....and wow he certainly did and much more.

I'd highly recommended Linus to everyone as their wedding photographer.

Thank you again Linus, from a very happy Mr & Mrs Newton ���

How a photographer can understand you so thoroughly in just a few short meetings is amazing. I knew when I met Linus that I needed him to be my photographer and it’s the best decision we made. The documentary style of his images speaks of the day how it really was. It’s not all glamour and posing, smiling for the camera. It’s capturing real emotions. Showing the day how it really was, from ugly crying to hysterical laughing! Linus managed to be invisible most of the day... there are shots where I didn’t even notice he was there!
Linus adapted to the day as it evolved including an impromptu speech by myself, and captured everything effortlessly. I would thoroughly recommend the photo film to anyone as it gives you audio of he day which can otherwise be forgotten! Amazing!!
