Joe was recommended to me for my engagement shoot. I talked with him before hand about what kind of pictures I wanted and how we could plan for them with props. He also asked before hand to check what roughly we would be wearing to make sure he could take the best quality pictures. When I arrived on the day I was incredibly nervous but Joe made me feel relaxed and started with just some casual warm up pictures to get me used to having my photo taken with my fiancé. He should is the pictures every couple of shots to make sure they were what we were wanting. I left feeling so happy and closer with my partner. When we got the pictures back they were everything I could have ever wanted. We had some fun pictures but Joe has also managed to capture true happiness in the pictures without posed smiles. I knew at this moment that I wanted Joe to be my wedding photographer. I cannot recommend joe enough, he is so easy to get on with, profession and his prices are amazing! I know I will treasure my engagement shoot forward and look forward to my wedding pictures! More...

I love the photos Joe took of my work, it can be difficult to get photos of ceramics that really do them justice but he really captured the energy that I try to put in the pieces. His professionalism, lovely personality and skill is definitely 5 star. Many thanks from Wyn Abbot Ceramics :) More...

My Capoeira group invited Joe to take some challenging action shots, and with his technique and professionalism we got many amazing pics. Therefore I super recommend Joe for sports shoots too :) More...

Joe Hudson is professional, creative and great fun too. He provides a very relaxed atmosphere which helped my 9 and 7 yr old daughters as they were a little shy.

My partner and I went for a pre-wedding shoot here, and Joe was extremely professional & friendly in his dealings with us. He made sure he communicated in a timely and efficient manner with us, answering all our questions and worries we had even before hand. On the day of the shoot, the environment was okay and we were allowed to play our own music throughout the shoot (which helped us get into a relaxed nd happy mood throughout the shoot). He was also very patient with our outfit changes (which took us some time to get changed). Throughout the session, he helped us with posing properly for each photograph (as we were not sure how to position ourselves most of the time). Finally our pictures came out great and in the best time possible. We were pleased with the service provided. I will definitely recommend this service. More...

Joe is a fantastic photographer, but is also a really down to earth guy who communicates well. The latter of these two characteristics really made the difference on our family photoshoot, where despite juggling an energetic 6yo and a newborn baby we were comfortably able to take some of the best family photos we've ever had. The whole session was very relaxed, yet professional and the end products were wonderful. I'd recommend Joe for all your high quality photography needs. More...

A friendly, hospitable atmosphere with a truly talented and creative photographer. Joe really knows how to bring the best out in people - even if you normally shy away from the cameras. You will not be disappointed! PS: I also had my passport and university smart-card photos taken with him, and believe it or not: they actually turned out decent! Extremely pleased! Highly recommend his services! More...

Joe has the biggest smile and exudes calm. I'm very bad at having my picture taken - I just sit there like a lump! Joe took his time to get me relaxed and really encouraged me to loosen up. I actually enjoyed it in the end and the pictures were great. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
If it's a professional photograph, then obviously understanding what the customer wants is key. Then it's about knowing your craft, preparing and having a great sense for timing, composition and lighting.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
I'd ask, what is your vision for the project, what needs do you have for it and how will the images be used. Knowing these things, together with an idea for time scale and budget, means I can better serve you as a photographer.
What do you love most about your job?
My love of photography has grown over several decades and continues to inspire me, both personally and to improve my craft.
One of the greatest pleasures as a professional photographer, aside from the rush of getting the moment, the light and the composition all spot on, is sharing in the joy a customer has of seeing an image that exceeds their expectations.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I felt I could offer an exceptional service and that it would be a business I'd enjoy growing over many years.
Why should our clients choose you?
