We had the pleasure of having Karl shoot our wedding at Colwick Hall September 2013. From first meeting Karl to receiving our finished album, Karl was extremely professional, helpful, and friendly! On the day he captured every moment perfectly - never missing a special hug, kiss, or tear - while still remaining on the sidelines. Even our guests and wedding party commented on how wonderful he was and how much they enjoyed working with him! Our wedding album was the most beautiful album I have ever seen - I have seen many and not one is like Karl's design. It is something truly special.

We booked Karl for a portrait session of our children. WOW! The photos created were simply stunning and captured perfectly the personalities of our boys. We were amazed at how calmly and easily Karl managed to persuade two normally crazy kids into behaving in front of the camera. The end result was a selection of photos that we will treasure always - everyone comments on how beautiful they are. Thank you Karl!

I cant quite remember how we stumbled across Karls work or how we came to find him, but I do remember that the moment I saw his stunning pictures online I was sure we had found our wedding photographer. Which was only to be further cemented whilst taking the stairs to his studio, where on the last flight I noticed a stunning dance photograph which can only be described as perfection, it literally stopped me in my tracks, the dancers were mid air in the most exquisite composition I have ever seen. If a photographer can take such a wonderful shot at that crucial moment a wedding day must be a walk in the park. Karl was a pleasure to work with and his pictures exquisitely capture the light, mood and feel of the day, we could not have chosen better, and as we look at each picture the emotions felt at that moment are relived again and again tears, smiles and laughter all come flooding back with every turn of the page. We couldnt be happier with the results. Thanks again Karl.

Karl is a fantastic photographer and one i would highly recommend to others. If your aim is to have beautiful magazine quality photos then you have found your guy. I find Karl's photos to be artistic yet documentative. Nomal life seen through a ballet tinted lens. I had searched extensively for a photographer who had the skills and knowledge to think outside the box, keep our photos fresh and original without compromising the overall quality. The passion comes through in every shot and this was certainly perceived by our guests. Having a wedding photographer who can shoot with the full sun behind your head and be approachable and enthusiastic enough to even help guests to take their own photos is one to be revered. I would certainly say Karl fitted into our day perfectly and the photos which encapsulated the tranquil summer day are ones which will be on my walls for years to come.
