WEDDING TESTIMONIALS

"We were both quite nervous about being photographed and had tendencies to either pull rictus grins or look away whenever a camera was being pointed at us. For me, Cathy's skill lay in her efforts to get to know us so the photos that she and her team took capture our emotions and characters perfectly and most importantly, naturally. She made us feel relaxed enough to forget that a camera was pointing at us and we were both surprised by how much we enjoyed the pre-wedding shoot. Cathy and her team were brilliant at being very professional but unobtrusive, so much so that we hardly noticed that we were being photographed. The result is a beautiful collection of photographs from which we are now struggling to select a short list for an album and seeing the photos makes us feel like we're re-living the day all over again! We really appreciated all the hard work that was put in and Cathy's easy friendly nature made it a really fun process; we felt more like friends rather than customers. All in all, I can't recommend her enough and she will definitely be my first and only port of call should I need a photographer again."

"Thank you so much for agreeing to take photos of our wedding. The photos are amazing, they truely capture every aspect of the day we wish to treasure and more. We had such a wonderful day, everything was perfect we wouldn't change a thing. Its been lovely sharing our memories with family and friends and now we have an amazing collection of photos to tell the story over and over again. There are so many lovely photos we are struggling to choose. Thank you again for all your support and encouragement during the day."
- Rachel and Paul

"We would both like to say a big thank you for your excellent service you provided for our wedding. From the initial consultation your caring and professionalism stood out from other photographers we had spoken to. You really seemed to listen to what we wanted and endeavoured to make it happen. The 'get-to-know-you' shoot really helped to put us at ease and gave us an idea of what to expect on the big day. We were both really impressed and grateful for how hard you all worked during the wedding day and went above and beyond what we would have expected. A delay to the first dance meant you stayed later than planned and we really appreciated it. Of course, the photographs are beautiful and we are delighted with how they turned out. Also the presentation of the CD and Proof Book exceeded our expectations and are beautiful keepsakes. Overall, we can't praise you enough and are grateful that you were part of our wedding. We would definitely recommend you to any of our friends and family."
- Liz and Adam

"Just a little note to say a big thank you to you both for all the hard work, care and personal attention you put in to produce our amazing wedding photos and albums. We are so thrilled with them! They capture the day and range of emotions so beautifully and are a wonderful reminder of our special day. You were both such a pleasure to work with and made it so easy for everyone on the day. Thank you so much again for leaving us with such fantastic photos that we will cherish forever."
- Anna and Matt

"Well! The photos are absolutely beautiful. You have caught some absolutely gorgeous moments and there is so much of the day we didn't see that you have both captured brilliantly! We are so pleased with them. Thank you so much. There are so many telling smiles, a few tears and lots of romance in the pictures. Tears were shed looking at them. So thank you both. They are exactly what we'd both hoped they would be. The shots taken during the ceremony and the ones in the bridal suite with the bridesmaids, mum and dad when dad came in are some of our favourites. The sunset behind the twilight shots is incredible ...Thank you so much for doing us so proud."
- Lucy and Robin

"We would like to thank you both for an outstanding approach to our wedding photography. We are so pleased with all the pictures ... Thank you for making us feel relaxed and at ease throughout the whole process. We have enjoyed the whole experience."
- Kate and Steve

"Cathy and Brian have been fantastic, they were really enthusiastic about our plans for the day and were willing to let us contribute our ideas to the photography. Thank you so much, we are so pleased with the photos. Thanks for all your hard work, the photos turned out amazing. Can not thank you enough!"
- Kirsty and Simon

"Thank you so much for our wonderful wedding photographs. We had a lovely day and the photos really capture the atmosphere. Even a year on we still can't stop flicking through and remembering what an amazing day we had! You were fantastic from the first phone call. You listened to what we wanted, gave us some handy tips and ideas and even on the day you were more than happy to accommodate any requests. When our photographs were ready to view you made us feel really special and welcome in your home. The whole experience was just lovely. There was one major problem with the photos: it was so hard to choose our final selection - we wanted them all! Thank you again, you will always be top of our list if we ever need a photographer!"
- Kate and Wayne

"We're back! Had an amazing time in Kenya, and now it's back to reality. But what a amazing set of photographs to come back to! Whilst we were away we were really looking forward to coming back and seeing them, which we finally got round to this morning, and they are all fabulous. Thank you so much, we are so thrilled with all of them. You and Brian were fantastic on the day too and have done the best job ever, more than we hoped for!"
"Thank you so much for being our wedding photographers. You have provided us with such amazing photographs which will always make us smile and remember our wedding day as being as perfect as it truly was. During the initial appointment for the practice shots we could see Cathy's imagination and initiative to find new and exciting places around the village to take our pictures. On the wedding day this increased, with us having photographs in the corn field, my parents garden, my bedroom window and through the village - all places that meant so much to us, especially me, and are lovely to look back. Throughout, Cathy and Brian have been so professional, organised, informative, imaginative and unobtrusive during the wedding day. Yet they have created the most amazing photographs which capture everything that was so special about our day. Thank you very much." - Sarah and Mark

"The appointment three weeks prior to the wedding was so helpful, finding out Cathy's ideas for the day and also putting us at ease with being photographed. This meant that on the day itself we were far more relaxed regarding the photos than we might otherwise have been. Cathy and Brian both inspired confidence and their organisational skills and time keeping were great. The post wedding service is very efficient and Cathy's approachable nature was very much appreciated. We would give constructive criticism if we could but there is literally nothing to critisize."
- Adrian and Sarah

"Thank you so much for our fantastic photos. It is now 3 months on and all of that planning seems a distant memory. We are now married with two rings and a wedding dress hanging on the back of a door. You don't realise until afterwards that the nicest thing is memories. With our photos we can hold tham in our hands and remember how exciting and special the day was. You really captured it all perfectly. We had such a vision of the whole concept and how everything should look......... You put so much effort into preparing and understanding what we wanted and your attention to detail is amazing, every picture tells a story and we see something new every time....you should be as proud as we are of them....Thank you for everything"
- James and Hayley

"Cathy was excellent to work with and understood exactly what we wanted. The day went so smoothly and Cathy managed to capture all the right moments and made the moment last forever. At no point did we have to worry that the right photos were being taken and were able to relax and enjoy our day. When we went to view the photos we were welcomed as friends rather than customers and the photos were more than we could have dreamed of. If I had to explain the whole experience in one word it would be "Perfect". Thank you Cathy and Brian for the memories".
- Zahra and Vinnie

"As you may guess we both had the most wonderful day of our lives. There were many reasons for this and a very important one was your contribution. From our first meeting with you and throughout our big day you ensured that everything was just as we planned it - fun! Your professionalism was evident throughout, understated, yet busy capturing the feel of the day.....The photographs are superb and definitely capture the emotion and happiness of the day.... Thank you again and again".
- Penny and Gordon

"We were originally told about Oehlers Photography after they did our friend's wedding. As a result of this we viewed our friend's photos on the website and were blown away by the quality of the photographs. We immediately knew that we had to have Oehlers Photography. The booking was made and after our first telephone conversation we knew that we had made the correct decision. Cathy was extremely friendly and helpful....a lot of the stress involved in planning the wedding was taken away. The special day arrived and Cathy and her partner stayed for the whole wedding day and ensured that they involved all of our guests, ensuring that our specific requirements were also met. Throughout the experience they have been professional and fantastic value for money. Our wedding albums are out of this world and because of the fantastic service they provide they have made our wedding magical. I will always be able to look back at our special day. Thank you.".
- Kerry and Steve

"Cathy and Brian, I know you do this for a living but it feels as though you do it because you care --- thank you so much for the way you managed the photography at our wedding. On the day your presence was great, not intrusive to the preparations and ceremony and very helpful and supportive. Presentation of the albums was far greater than we expected. Many thanks ..... We hope we're in a position to one day recommend you to our friends, family and business contacts".
- Fiona and Simon

"Felt very special. Given time to explain exactly what we wanted and didn't feel rushed. Really relaxed and friendly attitude, Cathy and Brian put us at ease and got the best from us. Before hand they met up with us, talked through what we would expect and visited the venue. During the wedding everything went to plan. They didn't intrude in any way. A pleasure to meet Cathy and Brian and we would recommend their work to anyone needing a photographer ".
