Wedding Photography Testimonials
BRIONY & MARK // HIGHER EGGBEER FARM
If you are considering Toby as your wedding photographer, please don’t hesitate for a moment. From start to finish, he was wonderful and the photos are just incredible - his creativity and talent was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Toby has a brilliant skill at putting you at ease so photos felt natural, even for people who don’t feel that naturally relaxed in front of cameras! We laughed all day with him (and at our pre-wedding shoot), and he was more than just a photographer - from announcing us in to the wedding breakfast, to running around sorting our first dance, he went above and beyond. He also got a huge array of photos to us within 3 days of the wedding, which was such a bonus.
We loved how respectful he was at giving us time and space to be fully present on our big day while also finding great opportunities to take photos, and making it fun for us and guests along the way. The time we spent with him to take some of the couple’s shots was some of our favourite time of the day, finally having some time to ourselves as newlyweds on a busy day, and having Toby’s supportive encouragement for some stunning photos.
He has such an eye for unique and personalised shots, making amazing use of the venue. It’s really clear to both of us how passionate Toby is in his art, and in giving us both a wonderful experience. His portfolio speaks for itself but just as importantly, he was just an all round joy to have present with us on the day.
We’ll treasure all the photos he took forever, as well as his support and kindness on the day - thank you so much Toby! Briony and Mark x
BETHANY & MIKE // ROCKBEARE MANOR
We chose Toby to be our wedding photographer after a long road of meeting many photographers and trying to explain that we were having two weddings; a cosy family only ceremony mid-week, and a huge black-tie Gatsby-esque event at the weekend- and we were usually met with a slightly blank stare.
Not with Toby! He wasn’t put off by our ambition to have two weddings in a week nor that they were both different themes, with different shots and guests lists.
Safe to say, on both days, Toby was a complete joy to spent time with, capturing stunning photos with ease; no long durations of primping and posing; he just captured the magic of both days with a ridiculous amount of ease.
From initial contact, right through to the wedding itself, Toby's friendly and relaxed approach made the whole thing easy to arrange. Not to mention, he did so well at easing any nerves or pressure, and making us laugh when things didn’t go to plan (like the unexpected 3hr rain storm in the middle of the day!).
We are so thrilled with the wedding photos and they capture our memories perfectly, as we remember the day and we will cherish them forever.
Thank you not only capturing dreamy, timeless photos - but for being a little ray of sunshine through both our wedding days! If you want someone who can capture your wedding vision forever, there’s only one choice: Toby.
CHRISTINA & AARON // WONWOOD BARTON
Toby isn't just a photographer that shows up for your day and supplies your photos a few weeks later, he becomes a friend. Our guests always commented on how lovely and approachable he was throughout the day. He's definitely someone you want at your wedding not even as a photographer, just a guest. He really adds to the atmosphere of the day!
Both myself and my new husband are quite shy people, not really used to having our pictures taken, however, Toby is so personable he instantly makes you feel at ease. Most of the time you don't know you're being photographed. Our pre-wedding photoshoot really helped ease this anxiety which made the wedding so much more enjoyable!
He captured the personalities of our guests perfectly. As the bride I wasn't present whilst the groom and groomsmen were getting ready, however, from just looking at the pictures, you can feel the atmosphere of the room which is lovely.
We received so many beautiful shots from Toby. Choosing some for an album is impossible! You don't want to miss out on his expertise!
We are now thinking of events we can have just to have Toby photograph! Thank you Toby for everything you have done to make our day special and immortalise those memories forever.
VICTORIA & IAN // DEER PARK COUNTRY HOUSE
When you’re booking a wedding photographer, it’s not just someone to come and take photos. Your photographer is such a key element in the smooth running of your entire day so it’s vital you choose someone who really knows their stuff and can make you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
We were blown away by Toby’s work we’d seen online and were so pleased we managed to book him for our wedding at Deer Park. He worked so hard all day, making sure we got all the shots we’d requested and was just an absolute joy to have around – funny, kind and understanding – everything you need when things might get a bit stressful!
We went with Toby’s Diamond package, so we got to spend some time with him during our engagement shoot. This was really important for both of us to get to know each other and make sure we discussed any questions with him ahead of the wedding. We honestly couldn’t recommend Toby enough – if you’re thinking of booking him, do it before it’s too late!!
FLO & BANDELESS // LIVERMEAD HOTEL
After initially looking through a wide range of photographers, we discovered Toby and his work was just on a different level, one that instantly stood out above the rest. Despite this being his first ‘big fat Greek wedding’ experience, Toby fitted right in and produced us an amazing album of photos capturing the very essence of a traditional Greek Orthodox wedding.
Our celebrations got off to an early start at the family home and Toby had the challenge of simultaneously capturing what was happening with the groom preparations and the bride preparations both taking place in separate rooms (as we couldn’t see each other before the church ceremony!!) – for Toby this was without a doubt, mission accomplished!
Toby’s personality really shone through – being so easy-going and so personable, he did extremely well to manage a very hectic and highly energetic 200 guests for 12 hours. We could tell that throughout the day he was capturing the very best moments and looking back through the album we really have been able to relive the experience all over again and be reminded of how special it all was.
The editing Toby has carried out on his photography is also just incredible – being such an important part of the day, the ceremony photos are so vibrant and reflect the beauty of our orthodox church. The bride and groom morning preparation photos, as well as the wedding reception photos beautifully reflect just how much everyone was part of our big day; the energy of the Greek dancing and the entertainment reflected by the photos really show how much of a great time everybody had.
Toby was without a doubt the best decision we could have made – honestly can’t thank you enough Toby! Opa, Toby!! God bless!
TOBY & JESSICA // HUMBER BARN
Asking Toby to be our wedding photographer was possibly the best decision we made about the whole day. I don't even know where to start! We chose Toby as we loved the style of his photography, it is so natural and authentic and what we have received has met our expectations and more. From the pre wedding photo shoot to recieving the photos back, everything has been incredible, Toby really is the most talented photographer.
As well as being our photographer Toby was so attentive, we felt like he was always meant to be a part of our day, he fit in so well and we have had so many guests compliment him. From letting us borrow umbrellas when it was raining, messaging to see if we needed anything on his way to the bridal photos and having the best sense of humour to keep me laughing whilst I was nervous in the morning, not to mention working his magic to keep family members still and looking his way for family photos.
We truly couldn't have wished for more perfect photos, receiving them back felt like we were reliving the whole day again, the pictures are so natural it feels like you are there when looking at them. We knew how talented Toby was but the pictures are more incredible than we ever imagined. I can't stop looking at them and it doesn't feel real that they are ours. It is amazing to look back at photos and see moments we didn't even know happened, he really captured everything.
We truly couldn't recommend Toby anymore, if you are contemplating booking him then please do it because you wont regret it.
Thank you so much Toby, we will forever be grateful for having you not only be a part of our day, but for the beautiful pictures we will treasure forever.
