    It is very easy to be photographed by Paul. He clearly loves what he does and you never feel rushed. He has good ideas and makes you feel at ease. I got exactly what I wanted on each occasion.

    We had not met Paul before the day and he did not know the location. But he was brilliant making the most of the subjects and the location. He managed to gently corale eight adults, two toddlers and a dog into a range of beautiful poses. We knew we were in safe hands at the time of the photoshoot.

    Wonderful variety [of images] to choose from. You did what we asked for and more. Brought the best out of Lara's features. Loved the way you used the light and great colour combinations too. You created a contemporary image perfect for a 16 year old. Thank you!
