Take a look at some of my reviews:

“What can we say… we were recommended Thomas and from the start he was professional polite and great communication. Nothing was too much trouble, even arriving before us all at the wedding venue after travelling a long way . We wanted our photos to be of the candid nature and Thomas captured this perfectly, he was extremely involved with us all yet never noticed when he was taking pictures, which was perfect. He’s a real charming, friendly guy and made our day less stressful , and the pictures are absolutely stunning!

We can't recommend Thomas enough. you will be delighted with his work”

Andy and Steph

“Tom has been able to capture the event, and the emotions, somehow knowing the exact right moment to press the shutter. He has captured the joy and delight of our wedding. Not only this, but has was able to blend into the environment, so much so, that seeing the photos made us wonder when he had been able to capture the shot.
Five Stars and VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”

“I hired Thomas Cannings to photograph my engagement photos. He arrived promptly, after providing excellent communication during the enquiry and booking process. The whole experience from start to finish was very pleasant and I would use his services again- in fact, I have already paid the deposit for my upcoming nuptials. He is nothing short of amazing and very affordable for what he is offering. 10/10”
