“I would like to sincerely “Thank you” for the wonderful photographs which you produced from our 60th Birthday celebration, they are truly beautiful and I will treasure them always.I constantly view them and it lifts my spirits.”
Words of Thanks
Over the years we’ve worked with some really wonderful people and feel humbled and honoured to receive fantastic feedback from them.
“We had Robin and Sarah over our two day wedding celebration in mid-August. Robin was so professional throughout, aiming to make us feel comfortable, taking lots of PDA photos! We had a real laugh with Robin and we trusted his creative photography fully. He pays huge attention to detail, aiming to really incorporate the surroundings in our photos, and his perfectionism really shines through when we received our album back! The photos looks flawless and even helped blur out anything we found imperfect on the day! So in our minds, we could see the vision of our days through Robin’s lens. We received our album in a timely manner and the presentation was beautiful. It is also really easy for our friends and family to navigate and download photos. Robin also helped us feel really organised by prioritising our alone time as a married couple for our wedding days. We are forever grateful and we will cherish our memories in photo form for life.”
“Big thank you to Robin for our wedding photos – neither of us feel at ease in front of a camera but Robin managed to create photos we love and that beautifully capture our special day. He understood what we were after and even helped get us into the closed botanical gardens for photos after the ceremony! We are so happy with the results and couldn’t recommend Robin enough!”
“Robin was just fantastic, really professional both ahead of time and on the day, and the photos are excellent! We were rather shy subjects and he certainly got the best out of us. Thank you Robin!”
“I can’t explain how pleased I am that Robin & Sarah were part of our wedding experience.
We wanted to find photographers who would capture our friends, family and slightly quirky wedding as they are, not staged. Every single expectation we had was exceeded! From the moment we reached out it was clear that Robin and Sarah understood the stress that a bride and groom go through when wedding planning. They went above and beyond to put us at ease and get to know us as a couple ahead of the big day. Questions were answered and reassurance offered, leaving us to worry about other things.
On the day itself they had a fantastic rapport with us which put us at ease for staged shoots (and ahead of big moments in general) and meant they captured more relaxed moments. They know the venue (Avoncroft Museum) really well and guided us to the best locations for couple shots. In fact, the photo sessions I’d been dreading actually became some of the highlights of the day, moments where we could catch our breath and enjoy everything that was happening. Their creativity and sense of humour meant we could enjoy the day knowing we were in safe hands.
Photographers are one of the vendors you have most contact with after the wedding day and I’ve been impressed with the quality and service of everything they’ve done since. Communication about timeframes and actions needed have been clear and friendly. Digital galleries and album building tools have been easy to use. Most importantly: the photos are stunning! I didn’t know we could look that good. They captured everything we hoped for and many magical moments and details that we would have missed otherwise.”
“Time has been a blur so we’ve not had the chance to say thank you for how great you both were on the day, making us feel super comfortable. Thank you so much for our photos we love them!!! We watched on our big screen with a bottle of fizz last night as recommended, and was so great to re-live the day!”
“We’ve just watched the slideshow together, happy tears were shed, they brought back some lovely memories and really capture the day, thank you! Really looking forward to seeing the gallery now and sharing them with our friends and family!
Thank you so much! We absolutely love them and will definitely be looking to get some printed! We loved so many of them, there are some real gems in there and such fantastic memories to treasure!”

“Robin and Sarah are the ultimate professionals and what they don’t know about weddings isn’t worth knowing! From the very early contact when making your booking you receive a access to a plethera of previous weddings in order to see their work, whole weddings rather than odd singled out individual shots, and you can be assured of their skill and and quality.
During the planning Robin and Sarah make sure that couples are able to make their day personal and unique. At no point were we shoehorned into a standard way of doing things – it was always personalised so by the time the wedding day arrived we were completely confident with how the day would be recorded. On the day, they are such a reassuring presence. They were sure to make sure our stated preferences were realised, but also adapted to the flow of the day monopolising on opportunities that arose. The resulting photos are perfect, a balance between posed family and couple shots and a relaxed storytelling style.
We have delighted in going through the images repeatedly constantly finding new favourites. The exquisite albums they put together are flawless and to be treasured. We couldn’t be happier to have chosen Robin and Sarah as our photographers and recommend them unreservedly!”
“We absolutely loved the photos we saw on the your website first and we were not disappointed. The flexibility of what you offered in terms of packages was ideal and with the current Covid problems you were more than happy to chat or email to adjust plans when needed. Everyone has said how amazing the pictures are and that you really did capture the day. You took such a lovely range of photos and the option of the slide show was so worth it. It was very well put together. I would highly recommend! Thank you again!”
“Robin & Sarah did our wedding photos at Stanbrook Abbey and did such a fabulous job! It was a very long day with them arriving at 7am for hair/makeup preparations and leaving after 10pm! They covered 2 ceremonies for us (we had a Hindu ceremony in the morning and a civil ceremony in the afternoon) and they blended in so well with our guests, yet got the most stunning photos at the same time.
We had a pre-wedding shoot with them which we would FULLY recommend, to help you as a couple get used to being in front of the cameras, this is for the benefit of the couple photos , when you go off for photos just the two of you. The pre-wedding shoot was a little weird at the start, as you might expect – most people aren’t used to ‘just acting natural’ with cameras pointed at you!) but they both made us feel at ease very quickly; they told us to just chat between ourselves and the first thing we discussed was what was for dinner – hardly a long conversation discussion but gave us all a laugh, and apparently that’s quite common!! By the end of it we were just having a bit of a laugh between ourselves and felt very comfortable – the photos were stunning and we printed them to use as (very) large welcome signs at the front of our wedding venue on the wedding day itself. We received so many compliments on them!
The photos Robin & Sarah took of the wedding ceremonies were all super natural looking, and we barely noticed either of them during the services! The same can be said of the photos of our guests – many of the guests didn’t spot themselves being photographed at all!! They are brilliant at taking photos of moments that could so easily have been missed and, in doing so, preserve lots of mini ‘stories’ that make you smile when you look back at the pictures. It brings context to small parts of the overall day, which we really loved when we saw our final photos. During our wedding breakfast, Robin very discretely appeared at the head table behind us and told us there was an incredible sunset outside – he’d told us he’d keep an eye out, which he did, and they both got some lovely shots of us both out there before it disappeared. None of the guests even seemed to notice us sneak out between the food courses, and the photos came out beautifully – double win!!
We’ve just received our album from Robin & Sarah today. Despite the delay from our side, Robin was super approachable and very willing to make minor amendments (i.e. photo swaps/slight page layouts) for us on the work he’d already done so it was truly perfect. We had a lot of photos with it being a long day and wanted to make sure our all time favourites were in there. The final album looks so fantastic and we’re so grateful to both Rob and Sarah for their hard work both on the day itself and throughout the editing stages.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Robin & Sarah Gillespie for engaged couples looking for photographers for their own special day.”
“Honestly one of the most lovely couple duos ever! We were recommended Robin and Sarah by our wedding venue. As we sifted through so many different albums from various photographers we came across their portfolio. We fell in love with the way they naturally captured the day, nothing was pretentious and this was key for us as we are both very camera shy, so posing a lot wasn’t something we wanted to do.
Robin and Sarah captured our wedding day on 4th September 2021. Despite having several dates due to the pandemic they were very understanding, fair and accommodating. They both made us feel very relaxed and gave us great advice and guided us throughout our journey in what to expect. They went above and beyond. We recently received our wedding photos and were extremely happy. It was so nice to see our day as we missed a few bits so it was like living the moments we missed on the day and it was nice to see our guests their reactions, things you tend to miss! It’s exactly what we wanted.
I would highly recommend Robin and Sarah and I knew the moment I saw them they were the one! It took me months to research various photographers but when it came to it I only ever contacted them, because when I saw their work I knew they had to be our photographers. I would like to say a super thank you to them both. And honestly if you are reading this .. after you’re done you need to message them and book them. You will not regret it!!”
“Robin and & Sarah photographed our wedding in November and we can’t put into words how much we recommend them! From the pre-wedding shoot to the wedding day, everything was so perfect. They both made us feel so comfortable for a couple that doesn’t enjoy having their photo taken and they made us feel so at ease. We were pretty set on not having lots of group photos so we had more time with our guests and they were so helpful with organising and giving us advice with this. We felt so at ease with both of them and felt comfortable communicating what we were looking for with them.
We knew the pictures would be amazing but when they arrived we were completely blown away. The presentation just represented the day perfectly and we have had so many compliments on the pictures. Thank you so much xx”
“Robin and Sarah were the photography team for our daughter Felicity’s wedding in November 2021 and what a superb team they are! They are exceptional in terms of their service and their creative skill. The rapport they developed with our families and guests enabled us all to feel totally at ease and confident that we were in completely safe hands knowing that all the precious memories of the day would be captured with such expertise.
During the planning process, Robin was extremely thorough and well organised and offered excellent advice and guidance to ensure all the essential details were considered and clarified. Throughout the actual wedding day Robin and Sarah worked incredibly hard with professionalism and good humour, capturing every important moment, detail and emotion of the day and they even successfully battled through an unexpected snowfall on the wedding morning to get to us!
The resulting collection of photographs are absolutely beautiful and provide us with all the treasured memories we could have wished for. Robin is now continuing to guide us through the album planning process with equal expertise and helpful assistance. We feel incredibly blessed to have had Robin and Sarah as our daughters wedding photographers as they have created for our family a beautiful collection of memories that we will treasure forever. They are excellent photographers, lovely people and we recommend them most highly. Zena, Felicity and Chris xxx”
“Robin and Sarah did a fantastic job at listening to what photos we wanted for our wedding and executing this. They knew the venue and sussed out the best lighting and backdrops. They blended into the background during the day and then when we did the couple shots we felt at ease. The photos came back whilst we were on our honeymoon and they are flawless. They did an absolutely amazing job and we can’t highly recommend them enough!”
“Robin and Sarah photographed our wedding in August and we couldn’t be happier with the photos. They are both so skilled at taking natural photos and it is now wonderful to look back to see all the special moments captured from the day, from getting ready, to family hugs to post dinner conversations to the first dance. We have been so impressed by Robin and Sarah’s creativity, using the lighting on a very hot day to create the most beautiful photos. We will certainly treasure our photos forever!”
“Well what we can we say! We are absolutely over the moon with the photos. You’ve really captured the day exactly how we asked. Blown away by your work and you’ve captured all the moments even the bits we missed ourselves at the time. The slideshow was beautifully done.”
“I wanted to add how impressed I was with at how easy you made it for us! The prep meeting was so helpful and really put any worries we had to rest. We really appreciate how hard you worked on the day and how you had the most amazing skill of being in the background but capturing the most special moments throughout the day!
“There doesn’t seem much we can add to the many 5 star reviews already here but if you need any further convincing… We had Robin and Sarah at our wedding in August and from the first zoom meeting to the moment we sat down and watched the beautiful wedding slideshow they created we could not be happier with the service they provided. They are both incredibly talented and experienced so we knew we were in safe hands and they were exactly who we needed on the day – making us both feel comfortable during the couple photos and working flexibly around some of the delays in timings on the day.
We are utterly delighted with the photos – they exceeded our very high expectations and it has been so much fun re-living the day through them… The slideshow in particular has already brought many joyful tears to our parents! In short, 10/10 from start to finish – thank you thank you thank you :)”
“Hiring Robin & Sarah as our photographers for our wedding day was one of the best choices we made.
Throughout the whole process Robin was friendly, professional and very understanding when we had to postpone our original date due to the pandemic. On the wedding day itself, both Robin and Sarah put us at ease which meant we were able to relax and have photos which captured our personalities. They were unobtrusive to our wedding guests which has resulted in some really lovely moments between friends and family being captured which we were thrilled to see as we were particularly interested in seeing photographs from parts of the day that we wouldn’t have seen for ourselves. They also understood that it was important for us that our baby was included wherever possible and thanks to Sarah’s excellent shaking of a rattle, we have come away with some absolutely beautiful pictures of our little boy.
As someone who rarely likes the way she looks in a photo, I was hoping for one or two really nice ones which I could frame but Robin & Sarah have gifted us with literally hundreds of amazing photos to the point that I am still struggling, weeks later, to choose which ones to frame or have printed.
Robin & Sarah’s photos are of the highest quality and perfectly capture the love, joy and laughter from our wedding day and we will enjoy looking at them for all of our years to come.
Thank you Robin & Sarah!!”
“We had our wedding originally diarised in 2020 but was postponed due to Covid. Dates rearranged with no dramas to 2021 and communications throughout was key. On the actual wedding day both Robin & Sarah captured so many fantastic shots it was a headache in a pleasing way to choose which ones we would hang on the wall. Overall they captured some great less formal shots that we emphasised we wanted and couldn’t be more thrilled. Definitely recommend their skill, professionalism and artistic eye for detailed shots!”
Over the moon with how all the pictures turned out. Robin maintained the highest levels of professionalism from start to finish. From the video chats a month beforehand to his adaptability on the day, everything ran like clockwork.
We had a village hall wedding and did so much of it ourselves but the photos were not something we were willing to compromise on and we are very pleased with our decision. Couldn’t recommend them more!
“We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding photographs. Robin did an incredible job and was a pleasure to work with. He captured the whole day perfectly and we have received lots of compliments. Thanks again Robin!”
“We searched for a long time online to find the photographer(s) with the kind of quality and emotion that we had dreamed of for our wedding memories… and boy did we find them. From an extensive search online I could find no one better in their field; atmospheric, in-the-moment, portraits with pure emotion. I use the word portrait because I don’t think ‘picture’ or ‘photograph’ does them justice. There are so many pictures that look like they must have been chosen from 1000s to get such good quality but they all captured particular moments which doesn’t allow for repeats. I was astounded by the quality of the results, not because I I didn’t trust and believe in Robin and Sarah, but because I didn’t think I could ever ‘look the part’ at a beautiful wedding. Guys you did the impossible.
The results speak for themselves, but the process by which they were generated, i.e. Robin & Sarah’s ability to pop up at the right time without anyone knowing they were there was magical. They let our day flow, capturing what was in front of their eyes, being sympathetic to moments where we were with friends or alone but letting us know when the time was right for a few couple shots when the light was perfect or when we were more available. I would book these guys again in an instant if we had to do it all again. From the moment we saw the first picture on their website we knew they had to be the ones.
Thank you so much for captured our day and allowing us a lifetime of happy memories.
“Robin and Sarah were fantastic from start to finish. They spent time with us before the wedding talking through what we wanted, helping us plan the timings of the day, and talking through how it would all work. On the day, they were so brilliant – relaxed, and totally professional – and we knew that we were going to get fantastic photos. The photos didn’t just capture all the key moments, but they really captured the joy and the feel of the day. They also managed to capture lots of lovely moments with our guests, some of which we didn’t even see ourselves! We love our photos and they are really something that we are going to treasure forever. The only downside is that there are so many amazing photos that it’s hard to know which ones to pick to have up or put in an album! We would not hesitate to recommend them.”
“Having to postpone and rearrange our wedding date a few times during Covid- Robin & Sarah were great to work with and very accommodating throughout the whole process. The pictures from our day look amazing and we particularly love the slideshow that was put together also! Thanks again for everything on the day.”
“It is not possible for me to exaggerate quite how good Robin was on the day of our wedding. The quality of the photography was superb & avoided all the usual cliches, something we were keen to do.
However, Robin went above and beyond mere photographer. When at times the organisers seem to be losing the plot, he stepped in with a steady, experienced hand to settle things down. At the end of the day I had to tell Robin that without him, the day would not have been as successful as it was. We are very grateful. Robin was an absolute joy to have around.”
“Robin & Sarah photographed our wedding in October and we can’t recommend them enough! We were put at ease instantly after speaking to them and felt exactly the same on the wedding day. Having such a lovely, fun couple there to take our photos was just a joy. We are absolutely blown away by the results. We knew the photos would be beautiful but they are even better than we could have imagined. They have captured our wedding day in the most perfectly beautiful way possible. Thank you so much for everything!”
“We booked the smaller weddings package for our micro-wedding after getting lost in the amazing wedding photo galleries Rob & Sarah have on their website.
The pandemic meant lots of uncertainty, changes of plan, and rather bizarre circumstances but Rob was completely on top of the latest regulations and was so proactive, flexible and just generally really helpful – it was great to have one less thing to worry about when everything was so up in the air.
Neither of us usually enjoy having our photo taken and get pretty awkward in front of a camera, but Rob put us at ease and got such great shots. The photos themselves are absolutely stunning, and everyone who sees them comments on how gorgeous they are. Thank you so much for the a great experience and for the beautiful photographs of our special day!”
“We are really grateful to Rob for what a wonderful job he did of photographing our wedding in September 2020. Obviously the last thing we thought we’d have to contend with during the planning stages was a global pandemic! There were many tense months before our date but Rob was clear and communicative about our options in relation to COVID-19 and was very flexible in terms of offering postponements to couples if that was what they wished to do. It was comforting to see his pragmatic approach to the tough times ahead.
Once we decided we were definitely wanted to go ahead – we met him on a pre-wedding shoot and he put us at ease with any reservations we had of being in front of the camera. From that point, we were comfortable with the decision we’d made to book him and on the wedding day itself, he was punctual and had a positive enthusiasm to be shooting weddings again. He was unobtrusive during the day and followed guidance to ensure his safety and that of ourselves and our guests.
Communication was great – Rob was always responsive to any questions or advice we were seeking in terms of plans or timings. He was very professional and it was a very quick turnaround for photos. We were really happy with the photos he took and moments that he captured of our big day. Highly recommended for a personal and outstanding service.
We’d like to thank him in joining us on a whirlwind of a journey, navigating through these times but we managed to pull it off, with beautiful images and memories that we’ll cherish!”
“Rob and Sarah photographed our wedding in August 2019, and were great to work with in advance and on the day. They offer a professional service from start to finish, and a quick turnaround of photos after the event.
On the day they made us feel completely relaxed, and captured the mood of our incredible (hot) day at Gorcott Hall! Would recommend highly to all – we also benefited from a pre-wedding shoot.
Thank you so much Rob and Sarah, we’ll cherish our photos and album forever. Jay & Chloe”
“Rob and Sarah photographed our wedding in October 2019 and we are so impressed with the photos! Their work ethic was fab and with their expertise in the business helped us with timings so we could fit in couple shots as well capturing the day as it unfolded. The planning stages were made so much simpler with their help and it just meant everything flowed nicely on the day so we could get all the shots we wanted. The photos really reflect our day brilliantly and this was sentiment shared by family and friends.”
“Wow, we are speechless! Were absolutely blown away! Thank you so so much for your quick work, and the skills in the pictures is just fantastic!!! We are so so happy with them!!! Thank you so much once again! You really have captured the magic of our day and watching that slideshow allows us to relive it again.”
“Well what can we say! The photographs Rob and Sarah took of our wedding were absolutely breath taking. Both are extremely passionate about capturing the right mood and would do anything to get the best shots.
From our initial set up meeting they made us both feel at ease and we never once worried about anything to do with the photography side. We knew they had it covered! Due to your large breadth of knowledge on weddings they even helped us tackle some common issues around timings (always leave more than you think you need!! haha). During the day we never once felt uncomfortable and everything seemed to flow naturally. This we know is down to Rob and Sarah’s expertise of how to get the best pictures.
They both became a big part of our day and we would like to thank them from the bottom of our hearts for taking such wonderful photos. They are absolutely amazing!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have Rob and Sarah as our wedding photographers. In our first meeting, they were really friendly and seemed to offer exactly what we wanted in terms of capturing what the day felt like not just a series of posed photos. In the month leading up to the wedding they were very helpful in responding to all our questions about timings and other minor details, they really put our minds at ease.
When they sent us the photos themselves, we were absolutely blown away. Every single picture was incredible. The fact that they could literally be in two places at once really made a difference, for example being able to capture my nervousness with the groomsmen at the front of the church while my wife was getting ready just outside, and we felt we could relive the day just by watching the slideshow they put together.
Thank you so much Rob & Sarah! We couldn’t recommend you enough!
“Rob and Sarah photographed our wedding in November and the photos are absolutely wonderful! They came recommended from friends and we had been at a couple of weddings which they photographed so we already knew they would do a brilliant job, but the photos of our own wedding were more than we could have ever expected, imagined or hoped for.
Looking through them is like reliving the day – Rob and Sarah captured it so perfectly! Our friends and family who we have shared the photos with are amazed by not only their talent, but also their discretion and hiding skills on the day – they can’t recall them being around for most of the pictures! Most importantly for us they made us feel so relaxed and at-ease on the day and it felt like we were hanging out with friends when we were out and about with them having our couples photos! We also did the pre-wedding shoot with Rob which, unless you are a natural in front of the camera, we would definitely say is a must!
We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to anyone so if you are reading this with a view to booking them, then do it – you won’t regret it!!
“Thank you so very much for the beautiful photographs, we absolutely LOVE them! Each part of the day is perfect.! You were both such a pleasure to have involved throughout the process and made it all very easy!”
“From our first meeting with Rob & Sarah, we knew that they were perfect for our wedding. They were so friendly and made us instantly feel comfortable. They responded quickly to all of our (probably annoying!) questions, and made us feel like nothing was too much trouble.
We are absolutely over the moon with all of our photos, they are better than we could have ever imagined! Thank you both so much!
“From our first Skype call, to our in-person meeting the week before the wedding, we knew we had made the right choice with Rob and Sarah! The professionalism and commitment demonstrated by the both of them truly made planning the day from afar a lot less stressful. As a result, we were able to enjoy the wedding day itself so much more knowing that they had things under control. The photos truly turned out amazing and capture the entire day perfectly from start to finish, and were also beautifully delivered to us with a personable touch that is rare these days
It has been a sincere pleasure working with Rob and Sarah and would very highly recommend them to anyone. We can’t thank you both enough for all your hard work.”
“When we booked Rob and Sarah as our wedding photographers we knew we 100% that we had made the right decision. We had met with a few photographers beforehand but none were as friendly and approachable as Rob and Sarah were. They made us feel very comfortable from the day we booked them. They were so easy to contact and communicate with, so if you are a future bride that needs to be on top of everything all of the time then Rob and Sarah are the people you most definitely need.
My partner and I aren’t particularly comfortable with having photos being taken of us but Rob and Sarah made us feel at ease during our pre-wedding shoot. The photos they produced were stunning and they made it so easy to look natural. On the wedding day they captured everything we could have ever hoped for and more, with very beautiful and natural shots which is exactly what we envisioned. We have had so many compliments and are constantly getting them for our album.
What’s the saying “photos never really do it justice” this just doesn’t apply to Rob and Sarah. We love everything they have done and cannot thank them enough for helping us to remember a truly special day xxx
“I’m sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I literally haven’t stopped looking at the photos, they’re fantastic! I actually got really emotional looking at the slideshow and my Dad said the same thing, the pictures are just beautiful! Thank you so much, you & Sarah worked so hard on the day & you can just tell by looking at the photographs. You captured the joy & emotion of the day entirely! Thank you again for our beautiful photographs, looking at them really has been like reliving the most wonderful day all over again.”
“Dear Rob & Sarah, thank you both so much for the absolutely incredible photos you took on our special day; they completely surpassed what we thought possible!
On the day you said it was “just physics” but the way you used light and composed the photos is quite extraordinary – you have given us something incredible to look back on for many years to come. Love, Ali & Faye x”
“Robin and Sarah were absolutely fantastic. We have just received the pictures from our wedding day and they are everything we could hope for. We were nervous about posing and having our pictures taken, but the couple helped to relax us and gave easy to follow instructions that led to some beautiful natural feeling photos.
They really have an incredible skill at making sure every moment and every feeling is captured perfectly. This means the authentic emotions of the day really shine in their photos. You also get to have two photographers with different perspectives, which meant we didn’t miss a thing.
A meeting was set up in advance (which was thankfully done over Skype due to our distance from the area) to talk about what we could expect and to give us a chance to make any special requests. Additionally, well crafted electronic forms were provided to capture our requirements (such as the group photos we wanted taking). We would highly recommend Robin & Sarah to anybody looking for a photographer.”
“Can’t thank Rob and Sarah enough! Fantastic photos which captured our day amazingly, even better than we could have hoped for. Personally they’re such a nice couple who showed true passion for what they do and Rob’s boundless patience means I have the most amazing photo album now to treasure forever. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommmending them!”
“I couldn’t recommend better wedding photographers than Rob & Sarah.
After capturing beautiful shots of my sister-in-law’s wedding in 2012 and my sister’s wedding in 2016, I didn’t hesitate to book Rob & Sarah for my own wedding in June 2018. From the previous weddings, I already knew they would provide us with amazing pictures and they did not disappoint. They had definitely not lost any of their professionalism or expertise since we first met them in 2012, and despite inevitably photographing the same people again, it’s testament to Rob & Sarah’s skill that our wedding pictures are not just remakes, but in fact capture our own personalities.
My husband and I are extremely pleased with the photos Rob & Sarah have produced, particularly their eye for knowing that ‘the light is really good in this spot at the moment’! They know what they are doing!! They manage to capture the atmosphere, the expressions of friends and family and all the things it is so easy for the bride and groom to miss on the day.
They are both so friendly that you feel immediately at ease with them and it doesn’t feel awkward at all when you’re having your photos taken! We are so happy we chose Rob & Sarah and we have some gorgeous pictures to look back on and cherish. Thank you.“
Rob and Sarah are such talented photographers not only with the formal photos but for capturing the ‘moments’ of our special day. Their ability to not miss a moment is incredible and they blended in so well with our guests. We have received a huge amount of photos, all with stunning quality and they also created a beautiful slideshow for us. The album is excellent quality, shows the whole day and we couldn’t be happier. Communication prior to the day was spot on and on the day itself we were really impressed with how Rob timed pulling us to one side when he could see light conditions were at their best. We both really enjoyed Sarah and Rob’s company and would definitely recommend them.”
“We wanted to say a huge thank you for photographing our wedding, you really did capture so many memories and moments of our special day that we really will cherish forever. After looking through all the pictures, we have found moments that tell stories of when we weren’t present and that is what we love.
Your style and technique is truly amazing and we appreciate the awkward angles and standing on chairs to get the perfect picture. We received our memory stick, in our box yesterday and this was a special, unexpected surprise that we love, so thank you very much.”
“I saw a picture online and knew instantly that these were the photographers for us. Each image captures the emotion and sentiment of the day perfectly, and we simply could not have asked for better photos. Everyone who sees them says they are the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen.
It’s the attention to detail from Rob and Sarah that make the photos and their service worth every penny. From engagement shoot to the personalised memory stick and box of photos, to welcoming clients into their house when designing the wedding album. For me it all just went above and beyond what anyone else was offering!
Rob and Sarah just ‘see’ fantastic photo opportunities and the results are hundreds of captured moments that you didn’t even realise were taking place. I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“How do I even start? You guys have been absolutely fantastic, great photographers and great people! I was a bit of a nervous wreck when we first met but from then on I knew we were in safe hands. You guys have produced some great images, in exactly the style I was looking for. You got some brilliant shots at the wedding and I hardly noticed you were there (well Sarah was probably up a tree somewhere anyway!). Thank you, thank you so much.
“Dear Rob & Sarah, thank you so much for the lovely presentation box, USB and surprise photos inside – it was such a thoughtful, classy way to display everything and our family and friends have been very impressed!
We would like to take a final opportunity to thank you for the beautiful photographs to help us remember the look and feel of our wedding day. The day went so quickly but each time we look through the images we remember so much and notice new things too. We will do our utmost to recommend you to as many people as we can. You were such a lovely couple to work with – you put us at ease with the result of amazing photos we could only have dreamed of and that we are proud to show off at every opportunity. Thank you for helping us to create wonderful memories which will last a lifetime. “
“We searched and searched to find the most perfect photographers for our wedding day… and I can say that we honestly found more than perfection with Rob and Sarah!
The way they captured our day was incredible. They captured the moments… from Nick’s face seeing his wedding car, my tiny flower girl bolting it down the aisle, the laughter of our speeches, the intimate and real photos of myself and Nick, all the way to the Irish Dancing in action!! Rob and Sarah knew exactly how to make those moments alive and precious to us. Everyone who has seen the photographs are overwhelmed with the quality, love and care that have gone into them and we could not have asked for better photographers to capture our day.
They put us at ease from the moment we first met them, and the whole process was relaxing and wonderful. Rob and Sarah – thank you for making our day!!”
“By far the best decision we ever made to do with our wedding. Rob and Sarah took control of our day when things didn’t go too smoothly and the time when we were not with them, you would hardly know they were even there.
There website sums them up perfectly, they capture a story, our album is PERFECT, from the beginning of the day right until the end, could not have asked for anything more and couldn’t have been more happy with the result. They capture magic moments of the day that we would never have thought to take. Thanks so much. x“
“We almost didn’t bother with wedding photographers – everyone takes photos don’t they? – but oh my goodness I’m so glad that we changed our minds. Our wedding album tells the story of the day far better than any video or family snapshots could have done. I love the fact that because Rob & Sarah come as a pair, we got “one each”, and I got to see parts of the morning that I would have missed out on. Sarah even got up ridiculously early to go to the barbers with Jason to photograph his wedding day shave!!
I’d recommend that anyone considering booking Rob & Sarah for their own special day to take a look at our photos – I love every single one of them and even now, nearly a year on, they still make me emotional. The happiest day ever, captured forever by the best photographers in the world.”
“Rob and Sarah were recommended to us by James’ Mum, after she had attended a wedding where they were working. We were keen for the photos not to look too posed, and after looking up their website and scrolling through their blog posts, we loved their style of photography and felt they were exactly who we wanted to capture our day. It helped that they were incredibly friendly and approachable too!
Throughout the whole process, from the initial meeting at their house to talk through options to receiving the final USB so beautifully presented in its wooden box, Rob and Sarah were thoughtful, friendly and helpful! They put us at ease in front of the camera, and we were thrilled with the end result. They got married at the same venue as us, so could offer tips and insights that we wouldn’t have known about too.
We had just got back from our honeymoon in Iceland when we got the email to say that our wedding photos were available to view, which was much earlier than we were expecting! We were both nervous and excited to see the photographs and needless to say we were blown away – they had captured our day perfectly. Even now looking through the photos, it still gives us butterflies of happiness as we remember the day.”
“Rob & Sarah were fantastic. They made us both feel at ease and made us feel as though we had known them for years. Their style is to just let the whole day flow and they capture all the incredible moments naturally. A lot of guests commented that they forgot the photographers were even there! Rob & Sarah work great together (being married you would expect so too!) and go above and beyond to help make the whole wedding occasion something never to be forgotten. Sarah also photographed Naz’s Mendhi party and got involved in all the fun activities that went on! All the girls loved her.”
We couldn’t stop grinning as we viewed the pictures where every type of emotion had been captured. The photos were incredible and although there were hundreds upon hundreds, every single one seemed to tell a story.”
“We spent a long time researching photographers as we had a very clear idea of what we wanted from the ‘feel’ of the photographs, and the kind of moments which we wanted to capture. This all felt very intangible and hard to explain in words until we found Robin & Sarah’s work, which instantly ticked all of our boxes. They have a relaxed yet hugely professional approach their work, and manage to capture so much more than the ‘formal’ aspects of get day. We wanted photographers who would understand that we wanted to see photos of the human side of our wedding, which is exactly how Rob & Sarah work so we knew we could trust them to capture our day perfectly. The quality of their photos is incredible, which was re-confirmed after seeing our pre-wedding shoot with them. Having then met them as part of the booking process we felt instantly at ease with them as people, which led to a great relationship throughout the lead up to our wedding, and on the day itself.”
“Rob & Sarah completely understood and captured the look, feel and atmosphere of our wedding day – which is exactly why we booked them in the first place. They made us feel so comfortable throughout the build up to the day, and were a joy to work with on the wedding day. We didn’t need to explain any of our ideas to them, they just understood exactly what we were looking for. We genuinely couldn’t have chosen better photographers, and feel that we made true friends with them too.”
“Rob and Sarah are very approachable, understanding, receptive and show passion not only in their photography work but also in getting to know us as individuals and as a couple in starting our new chapter through marriage and being part of sharing and recording this journey with us. During the initial contact at the wedding fair, the evidence was in their work portfolio, their interpersonal skills, passion and approach they showed, that didn’t include pressuring us but giving us the opportunity to present our vision and expectation and tease out with them their role, skills and ideas in an open forum. This approach of working together, listening and their creativity, experience and valuing our vision resulted in them sharing our special day.
Another element that we valued was that they were a husband and wife professional team and the aura we felt and saw on our until contact reflected not only passion and integrity in being part and capturing couples special day but the love and care. Without a shadow of doubt, they certainly go beyond that extra mile. Their time, commitment, passion, patient, skill and style is substantially evident in their work in not only capturing moments but the story and when I looked at the end product they certainly engrossed me back in that moment and day entirely. From that initial meeting, they worked with us to capture our vision and produce the end product. This was achieved through regular ongoing personal contact, pre-shoot, pre-meetings, the day, the initial viewing of our photos until the end product is achieved.
The personal touch was so special and invaluable to us. The little things are the most important: from getting to know us, having fun with us on the day, being discrete whilst working during the wedding day, the follow up and their advice and opinions as professionals and seeing that our vision and wishes from the start of what we wanting from our wedding day photos were delivered. Wonderful individuals, wonderful professionals and a privilege that they were part of our day and capturing it forever. Thank you”
“We can honestly say that having Rob and Sarah Gillespie photographers on our special day was the best decision we made. This most special and momentous celebration was captured in the most encompassing fashion; catching not only those photos posed but the natural and relaxed poses of ourselves, family, friends and guests enjoying our day. Despite the weather being gloomy, this was utilised to enhance our special day through quirkiness, sense of humour and good fun!!! Simply amazing!”
“We researched several photographers online, and really liked the cinematic story-telling style of Rob and Sarah’s photos on their websites. We then went to meet with them at their home and found them to be very friendly and welcoming, and their albums of photography from previous weddings were beautiful and moving.
We were extremely pleased with our wedding photographers. The pre-wedding shoot and meeting with them before the wedding helped us to feel less awkward (!) having our photos taken as a couple, and they were extremely thorough, professional and conscientious throughout the build up to, during and after the wedding. They were also very unobtrusive on the day, and were considerate of allowing us to have time with our guests. “
“Rob and Sarah provided an excellent, professional and friendly service from start to finish! The meetings and pre-wedding photoshoot before the wedding allowed us to get to know them better and be more comfortable in our photos on the big day! They were unobtrusive and efficient and captured everything we wanted and more and the photos we have received are stunning and we were quite emotional when looking through them!”
“There is so much natural emotion captured in their photographs. You feel the excitement, nerves or happiness of the subject in the photograph as the intimacy of the moment is captured.Their website and photographic style stood out from the others as they capture the small but memorable interactions of all whom attend the wedding. The guests, the places and the mood of the day is what the bride & groom want to remember however the loving & playful couple photos they took of us are also a lovely touch. They were my number one choice from the beginning so I was elated when they were free for our wedding.”
“Their photography style was exactly what we wanted. They capture the essence of the entire day by with candid shots at key moments of all the guests. We especially liked the periphery pictures of the reception marque & and sunset sky. Their style is artful & unobtrusive as the people being photographed are not staged or arranged . They capture the magic of the moment without drawing the attention of the person being photographed. A natural smile is always more beautiful than a staged one.”
“From start to finish we were treated like friends rather than another ‘client’ …from the cup of tea at their house to look through their work, a walk in the park for our pre wedding shoots and the huge hugs from them on the morning of our wedding we really felt at ease and in safe hands! Something we as a ‘non posing’ couple really valued!”
“Robin and Sarah were amazing at our wedding and took great photographs – They were extremely professional throughout the day, Most of the day we hardly even noticed they were there, both of them fitted in and were so professional. We had some great photos during the ceremony and into the evening. We love looking though our photos when we received them and were excited to share them with our friends and family.”
“We loved the relaxed and timeless style of their work displayed on their website (which is kept up to date) and so arranged to meet with them for a chat and a cup of tea. We knew from then that they were the photographers for us, they are so friendly and down to earth, we felt as though we had known them for years. Each having a different perspective and their personalities bouncing off each other perfectly we could see that this produced a holistic set of photos that told the detailed story of a wedding day and we wanted this to be ours.”
“We can’t explain how happy we are with Rob & Sarah. We know we definitely chose the right photographers for us.
The whole process has been wonderful, from first meeting them for a cuppa, to pre wedding shoot fun, and finally the big day. Rob & Sarah have felt like our friends, as well as being completely professional, and producing outstanding work. So many of our guests have commented, on how lovely a couple they are, and how their natural style of photography meant they could enjoy the day without realising their photos were being taken.
“When we watched the slideshow that Rob and Sarah had put together, I cried the whole way through, twice! They are a fabulous husband and wife team, whose photos took us right back to our wedding day, with all the fine details, emotions, and atmosphere that they captured of the whole event. We absolutely love them and couldn’t have asked for more!”
“As soon as I saw Rob and Sarah’s website I knew it was the style of photography that we wanted for a record of our wedding. I didn’t want many formal posed photos so their relaxed story telling approach was perfect. They have a way of capturing special moments in every set of weddings that they cover and I just knew we’d be pleased with the results.
Everyone commented on how hard Rob and Sarah worked throughout the day. They fitted in perfectly with the flow of the day and we were pleased to have them join us as guests. We are thrilled with our wedding photos and album. We must have spent hours looking through them together and with family and friends. There are so many moments captured that remind us of the day and also let us enjoy things from our guests point-of-view. Rob and Sarah have truly made us feel like friends rather than customers and that is also something we are really thankful for. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Rob and Sarah!”
“We have never photographed well, and in our 11 years together we have had only a handful of nice pictures of us, so we were worried about finding the right photographer. I’d seen Rob and Sarah’s website on my multiple Google searches for Midlands photographers and loved their work. As soon as they came round for a cup of tea and to show us their work I decided that I wanted them to photograph our wedding, and when we saw the outcome of our pre-wedding shoot we knew we had made the right decision.
Their work speaks for itself, but what you can’t see is what a pleasure it is to work with them. We cannot thank them enough for the photos. They are truly spectacular. We love absolutely all of them and they’ve captured the day so well.”
“Robin & Sarah were absolutely exceptional, two of the most lovely people, it was like having two extra friends at the wedding with the added bonus of having the most perfect photographs afterwards.”
“We were looking for a wedding photographer who could capture the day in the least intrusive way possible, and who captured people in a relaxed setting. The fact there were 2 of you was really helpful, because this meant you captured a lot more than a single photographer would. We hardly noticed you were there during the day which was great because it meant you managed to get natural photos of us and our guests.
The pre-wedding shoot really helped with this and the 2 of you have such different styles which really complement each other, which meant we felt your personalities really matched ours in terms of getting the best out of us. You were very flexible and accommodating.
We couldn’t have asked for more from you on the wedding day and our guests have been so surprised at how much you both managed to capture from the day. You really did capture the day amazingly and were really good fun, so thank you.
After the wedding your communication was great, and the way the pictures were presented to us was amazing. We loved the memory stick and everything was so professionally done. And the albums are beautiful. We just couldn’t believe how much of the day you captured, and how beautiful the photographs were.
You were so approachable and friendly from day one, and your different styles and personalities meant that you captured the day brilliantly, and got the best out of us when doing the photoshoots with us on the day. You made us laugh and we thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with you. So thank you for everything. We would definitely recommend you to others.”
“Wow. We are so over the moon with the preview. Thank you so much. Amazing work and day captured perfectly”
“The response from friends and family over the pictures has been amazing, you’ve moved most of them to tears! Sean and I cannot thank you enough; we look at the pics and feel e we are back on the wedding day. Thank you a million times over.”
“Without a shadow of a doubt, Rob and Sarah were one of the best decisions we made when planning the wedding. From the pre wedding shoot right through to picking up our wedding album, we were constantly overwhelmed by the quality of their work. We lost count of how many of our family and friends were blown away by our wedding pictures, and Sean and I look back on them with huge smiles on our faces.”
“Service was impeccable, the pre-shoot really helped us get comfortable with the idea of being photographed and how to behave naturally to get the best photos. On the big day, we hardly noticed Rob and Sarah were there as they are considerate and mindful of where they position themselves for taking the photos. Feedback from the guests has been outstanding; everyone loves the photos – how could they think otherwise? The pictures are amazing. Our wedding was some what complex with a mix of ceremonies and a venue that was open to the public but the resulting photos still amaze us.”
“From our first meeting with Rob and Sarah, we were sure we had found the right team. Their photos were stunning and their friendly can do attitude made us sure that they would fit in with our day. An engagement shoot before the wedding was combined with a site visit and produced some gorgeous shots as well as getting us used to being in front of the camera.
On the day Rob and Sarah were fantastic, calm, professional and fun, in fact many of the guests thought they were friends who happened to be taking the photos. The pictures were everything we wanted and more, and the little touches such as the personalised cover to the wedding DVD made them feel even more special.
Thank you so much to you both, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone as wedding photographers.”
