We have just looked through the photos 14 times and we are absolutely thrilled with them. Worth every penny and I shall be sending your details to everyone I send the photos to. The photos of all our friends are so natural and relaxed and everyone looks so happy, they are really marvellous. Thank you so much for coming (I can't believe I almost missed you!!) and thankyou for taking such wonderful shots that will give us so much pleasure for years to come.
Shelley
We're really delighted with the photobooks - they are fab!
Thank you for doing such a good job of the photography and the setting out of the books - I can see the thinking behind much of how the books are put together and it works really well.
I'm very happy to show them to anyone who wants to see examples of your work and to recommend you to anyone.

I wanted to have something special for my husband's 40th birthday and decided a 'This is Your Life' book would be perfect. Elaine managed to transform the strange assortment of old family snaps and wedding photos into the most beautiful and spectacular album. It is the most wonderful thing and much admired by all my husbands friends and relatives.
Elaine is not only efficient and professional but incredibly creative, she has a way of making every photo look special, she captures the perfect moment and images that you always wish you had !
She has also taken fabulous pictures of my children and she is incredibly skilled at putting people at their ease and ensuring they always look their best.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Elaine and am sure that anyone would be delighted with the results.
Emma
My photobook was one of the loveliest things anyone has ever done for me. It captured perfectly the great atmosphere of the evening. We all had fun going through the book recalling the celebration highspots and the layout of the book is beautifully designed. The book is the most perfect keepsake of my 60th birthday bash.
A great gift, especially these days when many people have already got all the things they need, making it more and more difficult thinking what to buy someone.
John
I was delighted with this service, Elaine did a great job of capturing the atmosphere at our surprise party.
She took photos of every guest there and we ended up with a great mixture of portraits, groups and "action photos"
A discreet but friendly photographer, and the finished photobook is something to treasure.
Dee
Just wanted to say a big thank you for the photobook that you put together for my dad's 60th. It's brilliant!! I kept looking through it over and again! My dad was really pleased with the all the pictures and messages. You put a lot of time and so much thought into it.

I am an Oxford-based photographer, running a busy family life, with a lifelong hobby of taking pictures! I am experienced in taking photos at many celebratory events.
