Wedding photography testimonials and portrait photography feedback

 

Kevin and Marie (Wedding photography at Oaks Farm, Surrey)

Rob gives total attention to detail. Marie and I felt so comfortable and to us we felt he was like part of the wedding party. Everyone at the wedding commented on how outstanding Rob was and how they all enjoyed the format he had of getting the best pictures from everyone. Finally our wedding album is faultless – we could not have asked for anything more.
The high standard of the web-site and for us the one thing that makes the difference is total professionalism which Rob has in abundance! Quite simply a class act!
Marie and I cannot thank Rob enough for his outstanding efforts. We had a fantastic wedding day and have great memories and the photo album Rob has designed for us adds the icing to the cake. This is not the type of album you look at once and put away. Everyone wants to see it every time they come over to us. A wedding is an expensive event and Rob made his service total value for money. The best thing we did was choose Rob Hooper!

Peter and Kila (Wedding photography at Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park)
We would like to take this opportunity to say ‘thank you’ for all of your hard work in making our wedding album so perfect! We love looking through all the photo’s and have picked up on loads of little things that we missed on the actual day! Some of your shots actually made me laugh out loud, some had me welling up with tears, all captured the essence and rollercoaster emotions of the day….
We loved the online gallery where friends and family can view all the photo’s although I have to say, nothing could have prepared us for how fantastic the final completed album looked. I have already recommended you to several of my friends who have been as impressed as I am – I’m sure you will be busy next year! I have advised them to book early!
You always dealt with any enquiries we had efficiently and in a friendly manner and we felt that we got a truly personal service from you. So once again thanks for giving us a wedding album we will cherish forever – have a great Christmas!

Francesca and Mark (Wedding photography at The Whitgift School, Surrey)
Had to write and let you know how much we love the album!!!
It’s so much better than either of us imagined it would be, the quality of the photographs is incredible. Thank you so so much for this whole process. And thank you as well for the lovely calendar, currently on or kitchen wall. Just brilliant!!!
You have been just fantastic, and we are soooo glad that we made the decision to choose you. Just amazing, thank you so so much.

Laurence and Nikki Stubbington (wedding photography at Goodwood, Sussex)
How can we thank you enough?… You have an amazing ability to disappear into the background and yet still capture, in such great detail, every moment of our special day. We are thrilled with our photographs and cannot express our gratitude enough for your patience, guidance and truly personal service. We can honestly say that you could not have done any more to put our minds at rest and prepare us for the big day, a true professional in every sense of the word.
You only get one chance to choose the right person to do the photography on your wedding and without question you were that person.
Thank you so much,

Lynsey and Neil (wedding photography at Gatton Manor)
I can honestly say that Rob deserves a medal for putting up with me in the run up to the wedding!
As I was not able to meet with him before the actual day I sent numerous emails to him all of which were replied to very quickly. He was very patient and talked me through everything that I needed to know as well as suggesting timings for things that would never have even entered my head.
When Rob and Kevin arrived at the house before the wedding they were constantly around but were never intrusive or ‘in your face’, apart from when it was actually Rob himself that explained that I would be late for my own wedding if I didn’t hurry up and get the bridesmaids out of the house!
Neither my now husband or myself wanted ‘posy’ shots and Rob took that into account when photographing us, I’m still not entirely sure about the rugby tackle photos that were taken but the groomsmen loved them!
Throughout the day Rob and Kevin blended into the crowd and took some truly stunning photo’s. As I was so nervous before and during the ceremony it is lovely to have these photo’s to look back at as I don’t remember any of the wedding itself!
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Rob to any of my friends, he was the major contributor (apart from my parents!) in making sure my wedding day really was the best day of my life!

Concept Finance (Corporate headshots)
Our experience with Rob was fantastic. We asked for professional head shots for use on our company website and none of us like having our photos taken so if I can be honest it was not something we were looking forward to. Rob came along and was very professional, patient and extremely friendly and made us all feel at complete ease and made the whole session a lot of fun. I did joke to Rob that I hoped he could work miracles as he had very hard subjects to work with and he did just that. I have never heard the team I work with ever say they liked any photos taken of them, until today…..so he achieved exactly what we were looking for. I would definately recommend Rob to friends and family and businesses if they are looking for similar professional head shots. It was a pleasure to meet him and we enjoyed our time.

Tiana and Daoud (wedding photography at the Wentworth Golf Club, Surrey)
I just wanted to say a big thank you and how much we absolutely adored the wedding photos!! You really managed to capture so much! We’ve watched them online over and over again! People have been complementing the photos all week! I have had nothing but excellent feedback from all our family and friends on our wedding day photographs!

Q: Why did you book Robert Hooper?
A: His approach to photographing weddings, very fresh and contemporary shots as well as keeping the with traditional shots. Attention to detail!

…Robert and his assistant were always in the right place and the right time capturing things that my husband and I completely missed due to the fast pace the day was running at. It was an absolute pleasure going through the photos when we returned from our honeymoon!

Jill & Dan (pre wedding photo shoot, Hampshire)
Wow, I don’t know what to say they’re excellent had me laughing out loud in places, like I said before I think we’re going to end up spending a small fortune but worth every penny. Should have waited for Dan to get home really but curiosity got the better of me, he’s going to love them.
We had such fun that day and looking forward to the day even more now, you really know your stuff and have complete faith in the final product, also really excited to see what you do with the collage. Have a fab weekend, so glad you’re doing our photos, thanks again

Claire and Joe (wedding photography at Eastnor Castle, Herefordshire)
Deciding to appoint Robert Hooper to look after our wedding photography was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. The service Rob provided was excellent throughout. Rob works hard and his fees represent good value for money. From the initial meeting through to us collecting our wonderful album we felt at ease. Rob guided us through the process whilst providing a tailored service to suit wishes. On the day, Rob and his assistant were discreet, whilst capturing all of the important moments and more. The end results demonstrate Rob’s skill, dedication and professionalism as a photographer. We would certainly recommend Robert Hooper Photography.

Susie (Surrey pet photography)
I am absolutely delighted with the larged framed photographs. Harry has wonderful regal yet handsome look – very him. Thank you – the results are brilliant.

Simon and LA (wedding photography at Upwaltham Barns, West Sussex)
Simon and I really wanted to let you know how much we appreciate the fantastic job you and your team did on our wedding day. You were sensitive to our needs throughout and were completely unobtrusive, enabling us to simply be and enjoy our day to the full. The albums you have created we will truly cherish forever and we are so pleased to have such a wonderful account of our most special day. We could not recommend enough your talented services to anyone choosing a photographer, and wish you all the future success you truly deserve. With continued thanks

N. Greenslade (wedding photography, Surrey)
Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special. As you can imagine, I was very nervous on the day and staring into the camera doesn’t come naturally to me. However, you were so kind and soft and very caring that you put us all at ease from the moment we met you. The pictures are great and when the need arises again, we will definitely be calling on you.

Tim Duggan-Rees (actors headshots)
Came away with great photos! What more could you want! Best headshot photos i have ever had done! Great, friendly service!! Wonderful!

Sally Tooke (pet photography – dogs)
For once I am lost for words (very rare that) the pictures you have taken of the dogs and the Christmas card are brilliant I am so pleased with them and I cant wait to see the gallery – you tell a nice story too.
Once again thank you so much you are a star!

Sugi and Hari (Wedding photography at The Conservatory at Painshill Park, Cobham Surrey)
We wanted a photographer who was experienced with the venue. We were very impressed with the style of photography and the sample photos that we saw on the blog. We thought the attention to detail was great and the overall quality of the photos seemed to stand out against the various other photographers we saw. Above all, the quality of the information on the website was very good and helped us to understand the service well.
Extremely happy with the results. Rob and Karen were extremely flexible in working with us. We felt comfortable working with Rob as (unlike other photographers we met) he did not try to pressure us into taking a particular package, and he offered the full service to a high standard (not compromising on the quality of the album and editing). He was happy to take as much time as required to ensure we got a quality product rather than rushing to finish it. Considering that neither Rob nor Karen had ever covered a Hindu wedding before, we thought they did a fantastic job, capturing all the important aspects of the wedding, an opinion that was shared amongst our families and friends.

H. Kirk (pet photography – cats)
Couldn’t fault the service and the end product was excellent. Would definitely use again and recommend to others.

Lisa and Jim (wedding photography at Cooling Castle Barn, Kent)
So far everyone who has seen the album loves it and my Mum and Dad were thrilled with their mini version!
It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you and we cannot thank you and Karen enough for all your hard work and for helping to make our day special and memorable. We will definitely recommend you to friends and family so hopefully we will get the chance to see you both again.
Thanks again and all the best for the future.

Claire and Christian (Wedding photography at Oaks Farm, Surrey)
The album is amazing! Thank you so much for all your help. On the day both you and Kevin really blended in with the guests and captured some great moments. Your friendly and professional approach was really appreciated. Also, everyone loves the finished album! Thanks for all your help both during and after the big day. You made the photography aspect so easy and have captured some amazing memories of the day.

Kristie Reed (family portraits)
Wow – these pictures are fantastic, I cannot wait to see the rest. I really can’t thank you enough, not only are your photographs amazing but you make us all feel at ease, and we have fun doing it! I am afraid to say tho’ that you are probably going to be stuck with us for years!!!!!!!!

Helena and Andrew Brown (Surrey wedding photography)
We liked what we saw on the internet site – pictures fitted with our informal fun theme. We felt the packages offered included exactly what we were looking for; the hours, the Cd and the type of album. On meeting Robert we felt at ease and relaxed. In comparison to another photographers visit we felt Robert would adapt to our individual needs rather than treating it as another conveyer belt wedding package. Our wedding was a perfect day and the gorgeous album Robert created allows us to relive the fantastic day forever. We love all the images that capture the happiness of the day. Working with Robert on a few alterations was easy and gave us ownership of the book. On the day itself Robert was easy going and relaxed the guests, he also disappeared into the background allowing us the enjoy the day as he captured it without altering it. Now that the day is over we are left with the stunning photos and the memories. Thank you.

Chloe & Greg (portraiture)
We received the order – everything is perfect!
Thank you so much for everything, all the family are very pleased with their photos, and we especially love them!!

Andrew Morrish (family portraits)
…The online photos gallery is great, but still nothing beats holding the real finished articles; all the memories of a great session came flooding back.
We were really delighted with how you ran the studio session and how relaxed we came to feel – the fun and atmosphere shows through in the images you captured. We had a great time and the photos are there to prove it! As you know it was a special date for my mum and she is treasuring her prints in pride of place. Thanks again for all you did on the day – we loved it and will make sure our friends and family know who took the photos – lets hope we see you again soon.

Ayo & Justice (Nigerian wedding photography in Surrey)
110% happy with the service we received and the quality of the photographs. Our album looks stunning and completely captures the essence of our wedding. It’s cost us much higher than we had initially budgeted but i feel its well worth every penny. Keep doing what you do

Ken and Hery (wedding photography, West Sussex)
Received the photo`s a few days ago. As one photographer to another you did a fantastic job. We are really happy with the results. In fact so much so that I want to book you again… I will be doing my godfather bit and footing the bill for the young folks. I was particularly impressed by your ninja like qualities. I mentioned the ninja because they were famed for their invisible like qualities. In your line of work this works extremely well for the candid shots. I actually forgot that you were there. Looking at the photo`s this is a good thing. Thank you again.

Chantelle and Steve (wedding photography, Chichester, West Sussex)
We cannot thank you enough for making the wedding so very special – you capture the magic of the day… We have enjoyed every minute of working with you. We can’t imagine anyone more professional and we are truly grateful for such personal service. You captured so many fleeting moments so perfectly… The results of your efforts are spectacular and we cannot recommend you highly enough. Thank you so much for the amazing photographs you have done for us…. You were efficient, unobtrusive, tactful, kind and kept a sense of humour! We could not have asked for anyone better. I don’t think either of us imagined enjoying having the photographer with us… or really understood what a very intimate role the photographer plays in a wedding – we were very glad and grateful that it was you.

A. Ellinor (children’s portraiture/family portraits)
Just a quick message to thank you for my pictures. Both myself and my children were very happy with the results . I will be recommending you to friends and family. Having had many pictures taken of the children over the years this sitting was the best by far.. Look forward to using your service again..

Eileen and David (animal portraiture in West Sussex)
Eileen and I would like to say that the two pictures of our cats Spooky and Beefy are absolutely wonderful, they are sharp and clear and you have seemed to capture each cat as they really are, Spooky looks laid back as she likes to be in real life, and Beefy looks as if he doesn’t know what mischief to get into next, Friend`s that have visited have all commented on how great they are and David has said that he didn’t realise taking photo`s of two cat`s would be so much fun. Thank you very much for all your hard work.

B. Walton (family portraits)
I was delighted with the results of our family canvas portrait print, a great service, professional and prompt, and a happy and relaxed atmosphere during the shoot. fully recommended.

Jody Duddy (pet photography)
I have just got back of holiday and my parcel was here – thank you very much – fantastic service from start to finish. Much appreciated.

Robert Broxup (Corporate headshots)
Robert provided professional photography services which resulted in high quality formal and informal pictures for business and personal use. Robert understands his business well, and aimed for perfection with such attention to detail throughout the photo shoot. I am extremely pleased with the results, will most definately use his services again in the future, and will happily recommend his work to others.

Andy Kostek (musicians portfolio/headshots)
Robert is a fantanstic photographer who is totally passionate about his work. I highly recommend him…

Bridget Bunnell (pet photography)
I have received the photos - I love them – exactly as I imagined! Thank you so much for your patience and for dealing with all my queries!
