Testimonials

Sharon and Ben

We are over the moon with our wedding photos and level of service we received from Francis and Stephen during the lead up to and delivery of our wedding day. We previously met Francis a couple of years ago when he was the wedding photographer for a relative and we were impressed with his professionalism and interaction with family members. The end result was their fantastic photos, so we had no hesitation in booking Francis as the photographer for our own wedding day.

From the initial meeting, Francis put us at easy and we were confident we had made the right decision. Both Francis and Stephen worked brilliantly together on the day and liaised professionally with both us and our guests so the day went like clockwork.

We are so thankful to them both for the fantastic photos we now have and an amazing story book that really captures the essence of our wedding day, and we know we will look at this time and time again.

We have now encountered two brilliant experiences with Francis, so would have no hesitation in recommending him to family and friends not only for his superb photography but his friendly nature. We wish Francis and Stephen all the best with their continued success in this field.

Francis was really friendly and  made us feel at ease. The photos were very natural and had some lovely shots of our wedding day even though we didn't have brilliant weather. We had seen Francis at a friend's wedding and were impressed with his professionalism, unobtrusiveness and friendliness  The photos he took were lovely and  we received them very quickly. We can highly recommend Francis and his colleagues to anyone looking for quality wedding photography.

Natasha and Stephen

From the moment we first met with Francis, he put us at ease and we knew straight away that he would do a great job of making our guests feel at ease and get some excellent shots. On the day, Francis and Stephen had to contend with the usual unpredictable English whether but were flexible in terms of timings to make the most of opportunity when it arose. As a result, our photographs are fantastic and feel very unique to us (on some photographer's sites you see the same shot being used again and again). We wanted a mixture of formal, 'arty', and natural shots and that is exactly what we got. Francis and Stephen captured both the 'bigger picture', as it were, as well as the smaller details. Great value for money too - we would definitely recommend! Thank you so much!

Lisa and Simon

The photos are excellent....Thank-you. Some people said to us before our wedding that photographers can take over the day, but we have to say honestly there was none of that on ours....in fact we really didn't notice you there, it was relaxed and informal and a superb day. Our family and friends also commented on how lovely the photographers were. We would highly recommend Francis Pullen and Stephen Salmon....GREAT JOB....THANKS VERY MUCH.X

Michelle and Robert

We would love to say thank you so much for the work you and Stephen did on our day - we both enjoyed every second of it. We were very pleased with all the photographs you and Stephen captured on our special day making every moment  unique and intimate. There have been many requests to see our wedding photos and all of our guests and family were very impressed with the time and effort you both made to make it a very good day for everyone. I personally enjoyed having my picture taking with my new husband around the Abbey Gardens especially when I had to climb up a hill in my high heeled shoes - it made it more adventurous!

Nicola and Robert

Francis, Stephen & Olivia, thank you so much for our wonderful wedding photographs. You made the whole experience easy and enjoyable, from the engagement shoot to our big day. We were overwhelmed by how many wonderful photographs you had taken and we found it extremely difficult to select ones for our albums as they are all equally as good and there are none we dislike. We really like the photographs taken at the rehearsal as is it lovely to see everyones' expressions and how well they 'scrubbed up' the next day! We also love the variety of formal and informal shots as well as the sneaky photos taken during the service and we will treasure these. You made having our pictures taken so easy, adding humour and making us feel relaxed and we really feel that you have captured the essence of our big day. Thank you so much, Nicola & Rob

Lindsay and Michael

Well what can I say! We had a photographer booked for our wedding but unfortunately he let us down, and I'm so glad my Mum found Francis and that we booked him for our wedding photos. We would like to say a big thank you to him, second photographer Stephen and trainee Olivia for making our wedding day so special with the lovely photos that you all took of us. You made us both feel very special and at ease on the day, and we have our lovely wedding photos to look back on for many years to come. We can't thank you enough for what you did on our special day and thank you for sharing it with us.

Katherine and Neil

We were extremely happy with the service you provided, from our initial contact right through to our special day and very quick service afterwards to provide us with the photos. We found it very useful to meet you beforehand as it gave us realistic ideas of what was achievable, and you were very accommodating both in the selection of photos we wanted (especially bringing along Stephen to ensure we got some of the photos that would have been impossible with a single photographer) and in attending just the service and reception rather than the full day. We are both very impressed with the quality of the photographs, despite both the fairly dim church and very bright conditions outside, and were pleased with both the family portraits and the informal ones. In particular during the service, we found you to be very unobtrusive and I cannot remember seeing you for large portions of it, although the photos you took proved you must have been there!! We were also pleased with you and Stephen's efficiency, which gave us plenty of time to enjoy the company of our friends and family. We found you and Stephen very professional and very competitive on price, and are delighted with the photos and would not hesitate to recommend you to other couples.

Clare and Chris Gregory

Choosing a photographer for our wedding was one of the most important decisions and getting it right was vital. Your passion and enthusiasm was the reason we chose you and we certainly made the right choice! The photos were absolutely fantastic and were exactly what we wanted, a mixture of family portrait and documentary shots and they captured our day perfectly. You were a pleasure to work with and most of the time we didn't even know you were there. Thank you for helping to make our special day so perfect and for giving the best present ever, lovely photos that will be enjoyed for years to come.

Rebecca and Jonathan

"May I say how delighted we are at your fantastic eye for detail. Your formal and informal style suited the day perfectly and the time you spent with our family and friends was remarkable; the emotions you captured, together with your second “Ninja” Rebecca, expressed the quintessential nature of a typical English village wedding, the colour and contrast, the joy and happiness, humour and commitment, captured in a moment at the click of a button! Thank you for being part of a fabulous day. Thank you so much." - Tom & Jane (Rebecca's parents)

Jackie and Matt

We were absolutely thrilled by the service which we received from Francis. Both he and his second camera, Stephen, did a fantastic job of capturing our special day. Francis has a lovely nature and fantastic sense of humour so he was brilliant at putting us at ease; all smiles were completely natural on the day! He has been kind and accommodating throughout, ensuring a personal service at all times. We were very happy with the quality of the photographs, particularly the informal, natural ones which him and Stephen took without us even noticing. They worked extremely hard and thoughtfully throughout the day without intruding on any of the events. We would definitely recommend Francis to our family and friends!

Rebecca and James

We'd like say thank you for providing such a professional and attentive photography service to us on our wedding day. From the informal discussion we had with you and Rhian at the Star Radio Wedding Fayre, to all the visits you kindly paid us at home to get to know us and our style, to the way you both fitted in with our whole day - it was seamless. Our guests commented on how they enjoyed the relaxed and contemporary photographic style, and said that by the end of the day it felt as if you were both guests of ours too. 

The quality of the photos and the storybook are just what we wanted, and your flexibility in providing images from our Ceremony to display on the TV screens for the first dance really made our wedding feel different and special. 

We would thoroughly recommend your services to anyone looking for a contemporary, professional and approachable service.
