I loved the Manchester images, which were absolutely perfect for a special gift, so I messaged Paul on Sunday evening to see whether they could be produced in time (as I had left it a bit late) - to my surprise I had an immediate response! That is the first star. He then said he could send the Manchester art prints out for my Friday deadline. That's the next star. The website was really easy to use - another star. The price is excellent for the exceptional quality of prints - that's four stars. And finally the prints arrived, perfectly packaged the next day. So a perfect five star service. Thank you.I can highly recommend. More...

Think Design are a highly professional and experienced team who I would recommend without hesitation. They have recently undertaken a full rebranding project for us. They listed to our ideas and gave great advice. We were given several choices which they created from scratch. They worked hard to give us exactly what we wanted. We have now unveiled our new logo, branding, brochures, business cards, electronic and paper letters heads and templates. They designed new promotional banners, signs and even email footers. The new web site is brilliant and is ready to go, Paul and his team left nothing to chance. The project has been a great investment in our business and I would highly recommend Think Design for all your creative needs. Thanks Niel Cope, People Matters HR More...

Paul is an incredibly talented photographer. He took on a photoshoot for my organisation - Centre for Ageing Better, London - at very short notice with 200% top quality results. The shoot covered several localities across Greater Manchester (Werneth, Bickershaw, Brinnington, Eccles, Gorse Hill), featuring multiple landmarks, people shots, cityscapes and more. The brief was complex, the timeframe demanding and the end product just stunning. I can't recommend him enough and would definitely commission him again for future projects. More...

Paul photographed my daughter's wedding a few weeks ago and cannot recommend him highly enough.
I know from my experience doing wedding photography myself it is not just about taking images.
What Paul creates are fantastic memories to cherish, but he does it without imposing himself too much on the proceedings but manages to capture the essence of the event which shows in the beautiful images presented to RIchard & Nicola which not only they but all the family and friends can draw upon for memories of this special day for years to come.

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Timing. Whether it's waiting for the right light or anticipating a moment, only an experienced and seasoned pro can 'see it coming'.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What do they want to get out of commissioning me. What type of photography or style do they want. I make sure I listen and understand this before I offer any suggestions on how this can be achieved. Understanding this is paramount and a key part of how I run business.
What do you love most about your job?
The variety it brings, meeting lots of people and traveling to places I've never been before. And of course being involved in special days whether its a wedding or an event.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to have control over how I offered my services and how I maintained the exceptional quality I want to achieve everytime I do a job.
Why should our clients choose you?
I know from experience its difficult to find a supplier who you can trust won't let you down. When someone entrusts me to photograph their wedding or whatever they need doing I will go out of my way to ensure the quality surpasses their expectations.
Wedding Photography
I am documentary wedding photographer in Manchester. When it comes to shooting your wedding photographs, I'm all about capturing the essence of your special day, the little details, the special moments that you may occur throughout the wedding and of course the fun!
I take as little time as possible photographing the more formal group & couple shots so you can get on with yor special day.
The rest of the time I try and be like a fly on the wall. My style documentary style is sometimes described as ‘candid or reportage as well.
My wedding photography coverage starts from £750.
Commercial Photography
Do you need some professionally photographed team photos for your website or new brochure? Or perhaps you need some location photography doing in a warehouse, or factory? Maybe you have an event or conference you need covering? You might need to showcase your hotel or restaurant. You might even want some of your fantastic products photographing for a catalogue to help with sales.
I am equally at home on location and (can travel all over the UK), setting up in your conference room or even in the studio.
With competitive rates from £500 a day, why get in touch for a chat.
Landscape Photography
I am a published and exhibited landscape photographer. A finalist in the global 2013 Best Shots photography competition, and featured in a global talent showcase in New York.
I'm always on the hunt for that elusive flicker of light draping itself over a spectacular english landscape, or searching for a gritty urban landscape. Anything that mightcreate 'that' shot.
My landscapes make perfect wall art for your home or office space, why not take a look through my landscape photographs - you never know you may find one that brings back a spcial memory.
