It’s great to get feedback and many of our weddings are booked via recommendations - here are a few online reviews:

Andrew and Helen provided a fantastic service at our wedding. We met them before hand to discuss what we wanted and had a look at photo albums. On the day Andrew and Helen were fantastic - very discreet, taking great natural photos of the day. It was really useful to have two photographers on hand to get different angles. They are also really lovely people and will happily take particular photos if you ask! Our photo album is a real delight which we enjoy looking at. Tim and I were able to relax knowing that our photos were in good hands and would turn out well and we weren’t disappointed

Excellent wedding photography
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 excellent wedding photography‎ - Vicki‎ - 18 Jul 2009 -
Andrew and Helen Daykin were brilliant on our wedding day as they were super friendly and very efficient. Lots of our guests commented on how unobtrusive they were. Also they were very accommodating and worked longer than arranged as we were running late. The photographs from the day are just what we wanted, beautiful relaxed photos. We are very pleased with their service and would highly recommend them.

Fantastic photographers‎

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 fantastic photographers‎ - nikilidster‎ - 20 Jul 2009
Andrew and Helen were friendly and welcoming from the first time we met. This along with the high quality of their albums was why we chose them to photograph our Wedding. They were great on the day and you hardly noticed they were there clicking away. We have some fantastic photographs and cant wait to see our wedding album. We would definitely recommend them.

Brilliant!‎

Andrew and Helen provided us with fantastic service before, during and after our wedding. Friendly advice beforehand was a great help as we hadn’t really thought about the in’s and out’s of what pictures we would like. Also the informal style they adopt for the majority of pictures balanced by (not too many!) professionally executed ‘traditional’ group shots meant we had a great mixture of pictures for our album. Our wedding day itself was subject to very bad weather, but this doesn’t detract atall from our photo’s and in some cases is used to great dramatic effect! This, along with an ability to capture guests looking natural and as we remember them rather than posed, means we are very happy with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the Daykin’s service. Finally, Andrew and Helen have been extremely professional throughout, being where they said they would when they would, returning calls and emails quickly and despatching prints etc. quickly and efficiently. All small but very important things when trying to get everything together for a wedding!

The Flower Fairies

Andrew July 17th, 2009

flowerfairies


The Flower Fairies provided the floral bouquets and arrangements for the recent wedding of Claire and Michael in Stratton Audley. The delicate colouring of the blooms contrasted beautifully with the chosen scheme for the wedding. Both the church and the reception venue were greatly enhanced by the dramatic floral arrangements, and the bride and groom were immensely pleased with the overall effect.
