'Professional, courteous & great value! We can only concur with the comments already posted about John. He made us feel at ease from the beginning, was fun to work with, but always professional. If you want relaxed, unobtrusive and natural but stunning photographs then look no further than John. We can't recommend him highly enough.'  Maddie & Ed

'I got in touch with John whilst we were planning our wedding day and he helped out with various ideas, even coming up with suggestions for other parts of the day which were very helpful. He came and met us and thoroughly planned out the shoot beforehand, which was really helpful as the day itself was rainy and wet throughout. During the day, John got some fantastic photos that really captured the personalities of the guests, he was friendly and approachable by all, blending into the background and we forgot he was there for most of the day. I'd highly recommend John's services.'   Steven & Jess

'Wowie! That is very impressive! The photos are fantastic. Everything I hoped they would be. Bloke did some fantastic photos of my duo - which can be seen on our web site. He has fantastic camera equipment and facilities for portrait photography and came up with a fantastic selection of prints for us. Very very pleased. Highly recommended'. Stuart'

'Just to say DVD arrived safely. We love the photos - and from the bride, who rarely sees a photo of herself that she likes, a special thank you! They capture each part of the day and all the joy, looking at them brings back such happy memories as well as allowing us to see some of the stuff guests got up to that we missed! Thanks again.'   Mr and Mrs Knott

'Having been involved in wedding arrangements many times before, I was always frustrated with the traditional wedding photographer's business model. If you're not familiar with it, most photographers charge a fee for taking pictures on the wedding day and then try to sell you as much printed material as possible, but they won't let you near the source files. So it was refreshing to find a photographer who just charges a fee for taking the pictures and gives you the freedom to do whatever you want with the high quality image files. John is organised, courteous, diligent and a thoroughly pleasant chap who will blend into your family occasion nicely and find just the right shots that capture the spirit of the day'   Dylan G

'Thank you so much for the fantastic photographs. We are absolutely thrilled with them and have really enjoyed showing our families the DVD. Thank you for making our wedding day so special. You have been so professional, kind and friendly throughout all the preparations. Many of our guests have commented how super you were on the day - you were the tops! We have very happy memories of our wedding day and we were so pleased that you were our photographer. You were so pleasant and fitted in so well, it was just like having a really good friend doing the photos.'   Ian & Louise

'Just a little note to say a big thank-you for being our wedding photographer! We received your photos safely + they are beautiful, we're so pleased. Thanks also for being so laid back, yet helpful on the day, it really made everyone relax + ensured lots of smiley pictures!'.  Alexa & Paul

'We found John's website after a long trawl through the internet and his photographs immediately struck a chord - the characters of his subjects shine through his pictures. Whilst being completely unobtrusive on the day, John has an instinct for knowing when a great photo is coming up and is ready and waiting. John's flair for capturing natural images of the day has provided us with some timeless memories of our family and friends. Having all of the images on disk has enabled us to choose exactly what we want. We bought extra disks for our nearest and dearest, which has provided hours of fun for our parents, who have been busy compiling their own photograph albums! Thank you John for a friendly and professional service - for entertaining the small bridesmaids and for the cracking photographs!'  Emma & Iain

'We received our photos today - what a turnaround! They are stunning, of course; so full of life. We really feel so lucky to have booked you because not only did our guests rave about your general delightfulness (steady on! - Ed) we also now have photos that are unique and very meaningful. It goes without saying that you were very popular with my family, and you bet that we'll sing your praises every chance we get!   Rob & Aleshia, Michigan, USA

'We contacted Bloke with a Camera after reading reviews on Hitched and looking through the photos on his website. Neither of us are very comfortable being photographed and are not fans of 'staged' photographs, we also did not want to be forced into cliched poses on our big day, but wanted it captured as it was. John did not disappoint, our photos were waiting for us on the mat on our return from honeymoon as promised, and they are fabulous. The day was such a whirlwind it was lovely to actually see the photos of our guests and families enjoying the day as much as we did, John managed to capture this perfectly, and somehow managed to do it inconspicuously, there are even photos of us that we weren't aware he was taking. If you want someone who will blend into your wedding with ease, and is able to capture all the action of the day perfectly, then we highly recommend Bloke with a Camera.'  Mark & Sara 

'Many thanks for the photos, they were waiting on the mat for us when we returned last night as promised. We've had a look at them today after resisting the urge last night! They are fabulous and exactly what we had hoped they would be. It was so nice to see all the little things we didn't get to see on the day, I especially love the one of Ben our pageboy shushing my Dad during his speech! We will certainly be recommending you to any of our friends that decide to take the plunge. Many thanks once again.'  Sara & Barry

'Strong recommendation - John was a delight to chat with ahead of the day, accommodating to our wants and needs, did a great job on the day and ultimately gave us exactly what we wanted - great shots and the digital images for us to muck about with however we fancied. Quick turnaround too... I'd hire him again without reservation.'  Matt & Tracey-Ann

'We were delighted both in the end result, and also the way you worked on the day. I was so impressed that you really listened to what Charles and I wanted and then carried this out. There were no cringeworthy moments and no soft focus photos of my shoes, but perhaps most importantly the taking of the photos did not dominate the day, but rather reflected the day. We now have a wonderful account of the wedding, recording not just who was there but also capturing the spirit and fun of the day'.  Katy & Charles

'Thanks so much for the DVD, we are so pleased with all the photos and whilst we can't believe you took so many, we are glad you did.  I hope you agree they all look amazing... Everyone commented how lovely you were although you must have blended in well as most people thought we didn't have an official photographer'  Richard & Natalie

'We found "Bloke with a Camera" after trawling through websites full of soft focus clichés. His pictures stood out as being more natural. We booked John following conversations by email and phone. John is very easy to deal with and very professional. He visited our venue in advance, offered helpful suggestions and checked our requirements for group photos etc. On the day, John worked in an unobtrusive way and was brilliant with our guests, from whom we received several positive comments. His pictures are excellent and they really capture feel of the day. Based on our experience, we'd unhesitatingly recommend "Bloke with a Camera"'.   Andy & Anne

'Many many thanks for all your hard work and extra minutes for our wedding... We have received your CD with great thanks and big smiles. Brilliant - except my pesky hair and a large comb over look alike on the quay! There are some fab images and lovely moments from guests and little ones, you certainly seemed to have captured the essence of what it was about. I appreciate it was a little hectic but I think we have caught all we could given the time. Would have been lovely to have you all day. And even Oscar gave you a great smile'.  Susie & Dan
