Peter Reynolds Photography

Peter is kind, friendly, professional and the absolute best when it comes to natural wedding photography! Our first interaction with Peter was back in 2021 (for a wedding in 2023). Before booking Peter we met with 5 other photographers, each lovely but none had the ability to put us at the heart of the conversation and make us feel heard. Peter listened to our ideas and showed genuine interest in our plans. He put us at ease from the beginning which then made the decision to book him incredibly easy. Fast-forward to 2022 and our pre-wedding shoot. Prior to the session Peter asked for our ideas and made appropriate suggestions. We have links to Canterbury so he suggested the most beautiful forest just out of town which he believed will provide the perfect backdrop for our shoot. Boy, was that the best suggestion! Peter met us at the location, the conversation started and we did not stop talking until we parted ways in town and not before Peter made superb suggestion for lunch! The session itself felt comfortable and natural. My partner and I didn't stop laughing! Peter talked us through everything, the session was very relaxed and the results were STUNNING! And I mean absolutely STUNNING! This takes us through to the run up to the wedding. I am a planner and we had very specific ideas for our day. I sent Peter an unbelievable amount of emails! He responded to every single one. His responses were quick, thoughtful and really helped the planning process. When it came to crafting and synchronising the time line for the day - he was in his element! He had taken detailed notes about our plans and made suggestions which improved the flow of the day significantly! On the wedding day morning Peter turned up early and was a joy to have around. He was calm, helpful and made sure we run on time. Peter worked extremely well with our videographer, hair and makeup artists! This put me and my bridal party in such ease! Jumping a bit ahead but the photos from the morning prep for both me and my partner were AMAZING! Both Peter and his second shooter Emily beautifully captured the mood, the details, the joy and excitement! Throughout the day Peter made sure to capture all of the moments which were so important to me and my partner (the first looks are a particular standout)! The portraits session was an ace and looks straight out of the pages of Vogue! The group photos were so much fun for everyone as Peter made sure everything moved smoothly whist capturing the beauty of each connection! Even with all of this in mind and having observed him throughout the day nothing could have prepared us for the final gallery! It is out of this world! Peter has organised it in a storytelling chronological order where every image has a meaning and serves a purpose! It represents the day as we remember it but also adds all of those details we missed (photos of animated conversations and huge smiles)! So if you are considering booking Peter as your wedding photographer - have every faith that you are making the best decision! He cares for his clients, he is easy to communicate with and he will deliver unbelievable gallery at the end of your adventure! Peter, thank you for being amazing!

Well, where do I start?! Having known Peter for quite a few years now, I've known for a long time I wanted him to capture our wedding day (in fact, we basically planned the date around his availability). After our pre-wedding shoot, we knew we'd feel relaxed around Peter & absolutely loved the photos he took. One pandemic and a postponed wedding later, we were so grateful he could rearrange for the same date. On the day, Peter was nothing short of amazing - his relaxed nature, friendly approach and organisation meant we received the most beautiful photographs of our wedding day. We will always be so grateful for the memories Peter & Emily captured and can't thank you both enough for all your hard work.

I mean, where to start from? Peter is an incredibly talented photographer. Hes highly skilled and knows so well how to capture your special day in the most exquisite way ever. He will go the extra mile to make sure your day runs as smoothly as possible. I lost my lipstick after the first glance? He ran across the venue to bring it back. We had family shots? He made sure everyone was organized and around for the photo. His kind nature and positive attitude lightens up the day. Now, lets talk wedding photographs. I mean. Oh my gosh. We had a pre wedding shoot with Peter before the wedding to prep us for the day. The pictures were beautiful. Comes the wedding day, we felt so relaxed in front of the camera. It didnt take Peter more than 10 days, our wedding photos were with us!! Imagine receiving your wedding photos on your honeymoon They were masterpieces! Beautiful, delicate and just so special and personalized to us. We laughed, cried, giggled and smiled looking through them all. Incredibly grateful for the hard work Peter put in since day 1.

We knew Peter was the perfect wedding photographer for us from our very first email exchange, after seeing his amazing work on Instagram, we got in touch to see if Peter was interested in travelling to the south of France to capture our destination wedding, and from the first reply, we could tell Peter was as excited as we were! Peter answered all of our questions, and his enthusiasm and kindness shine through. The personalised gifts that Peter sent in the post throughout our planning were such a lovely touch and made the whole process more special. From the pre-wedding shoot, Peter put us at ease instantly. We had never done anything like that before, but Peter makes it feel like you're just hanging out. The pre-wedding shoot was a blessing, as by the wedding day we felt totally relaxed infront of the camera. We knew what we were doing as Peter had already taught us the techniques he uses to capture natural pictures, nothing overposed. Peter's wife Lindsay was his second shooter for our wedding, and they put everyone at ease and blended in with our guests to capture the most authentic story of our day. They worked really well together and alongside our videographer. Peters organisation helped everything run smoothly on the day, he even came to the Chteau the day before the venue to drive around to find the perfect spot for our portraits on the day. We were overwhelmed with the final result of our wedding photos. Peter and Lindsay captured everything we wanted. We have had lots of compliments from our friends and family about how wonderful the photos are. Peter is so talented and booking him as our photographer was the best decision!

We knew that Peter was the photographer for us after browsing a few Instagram accounts: his photos speak of nature, movement and insight, and are a world away from anything artificial and over-posed that really doesn't capture the emotion of the day. And my-oh-my is there a lot of emotion to capture! We've only seen a select few so far as our wedding was just a week ago but we are already blown away by how just these three pictures capture joy, intimacy, and celebration so perfectly. Peter was wonderful from the word go. He's intuitive, professional and responsive and at every stage his talent and thoughtfulness impressed us. On the morning of the wedding he genuinely made what was already a fun morning even more so, chatting with ease to everyone there. The wedding day itself flowed seamlessly and he and Emily were totally on the ball. Peter - your photos are beautiful and unique, and you have a real knack with people. What a perfect combination for a bloody good photographer. Sam and I agree that we're genuinely sad not to hang out more!
