Kirsty has been exceptional from first contact, all the way to photo delivery and printing! Not only is Kirsty incredibly professional, but the friendliest, kindest and warming soul. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in photography and made our wedding day seamless whilst capturing every ounce of love. We cannot thank Kirsty enough for going out of her way on our day to accommodate potentially un-social hours/ timings, but she did everything with a smile and really ensured to capture every second. Kirsty has an eye for detail and thought of innovative ways to picture our day that were still natural and ‘real’. Thank you so much Kirsty, from the bottom of our hearts – you are wonderful and we will be forever grateful to have your images to look back on our special day forever. All our love x
