Had my little boy’s newborn photoshoot with Swain on the 28th October. He is so great at making you feel at ease the minute you meet him and excellent at guiding you into getting the best images possible. In regards to how he was with Logan, he was simply amazing and so patient when Logan got a little cranky and needed a feed. The images I got back are stunning and I couldn’t ask for a better photographer. We will be going back again for more shoots soon. Definitely recommend Swain to anyone looking for amazing and fantastic quality images. More...

We took part in the bluebell minishoot deal. We worked with Swain who was so personable and patient, especially as we had our 3 month old with us. He made the experience relaxed, fun and got some great images (especially given our baby wasn't feeling 100%). He was brilliant about contacting and replying both before and after. We are delighted with our photos. Thank you for all your hard work. More...

George photographed our wedding in June 2023 and not only did he meet them, but he massively exceeded any expectations we had. Before the big day, George was in contact with us regularly to ensure that everything we wanted was planned well in advance. On the day George was simply incredible. He put us at ease from start to finish and was able to catch a perfect blend of organised shots as well as unstructured "in the moment" photos. A number of our guests commented on George's skill of being able to capture important moments whilst not being overly noticed throughout the whole day - the skill of a great photographer. We would have absolutely zero hesitancy in recommending George for any event our friends are hosting. 10/10. Would be more than 5* if we could give them. Thank you for everything, George. More...

We used the photo booth for our wedding on 3rd May and I Would highly recommend! 3-4 hours of unlimited photos, we also had someone come and set up and stay with the photo booth all night, he was very friendly! We got given a photo book where everyone could put their photos in and write a note, they also gave us a memory stick at the end of the night with every single photo on. It’s great value for money. Everyone loved the photo booth especially the kids! Thanks again 😄 More...

Just looked though our wedding photos and absolutely loved them. You guys are worth so much more than we paid. Kelly and I are so happy with everything you did on the day. You went above and beyond what a photographer normally does. Not only taking photos but helping out with ties, timing and much more. Could not ask for a better photography company. If anyone is looking through these reviews and is unsure whether they are worth the money. I’ll tell you now, they are the best I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for making our day so special and for now making our honeymoon more special, viewing the photos. More...

The pictures were lovely. However I am not keen on this photo booth idea that they have now it seems rather childish to me. And all that does not do justice to your photographs which is not your fault is brides with dresses that are supposed to fit their bust yet they are hanging out of them like on page three of the Sun newspaper. Not elegant at all More...

George was brilliant. When faced with a freezing cold day and the worlds most photographically reluctant bride and groom he produced amazing results. Never fazed by our slightly crazy friends and relatives he calmly manoeuvred us all into fantastic photos. Thank you. Then there's the lovely Charlie who manned our photobooth. This is a man made of strong stuff. He dealt with everything thrown at him, and there was lots, with a smile and a prop suggestion, lol. My new husband and I can't recommend this company more highly. Thanks again. xxx More...
