YOU’VE FOUND HIM, CONTACT ME NOW

 
And this is what you DO NOT WANT:
You are definitely NOT looking for a part-time, weekend only, amateur photographer, who will promise the earth, but cannot deliver the high standard you need and expect. That is a recipe for disaster and tears! and I most certainly do not want you coming to me after the wedding, with a disc of very disappointing photographs that the amateur or family friend took and asking me what I can do to enhance them. Just remember one crucial point. The amateur will take wedding photographs when he or she WANTS TO, NOT WHEN THEY NEED TO
 
So, look at my Testimonial page to see what my clients say about me. Here is one testimonial from Flo and Fraser, who married in Godalming, Surrey last summer and had a fabulous reception at Clandon Park, Guildford.
 
"John photographed our wedding in July 2014 at Clandon Park, Guildford, and did such a fantastic job. I was particularly uncomfortable about the prospect of having my photo taken so many times, but he made us both feel so relaxed on the pre-wedding shoot that the results are really natural. We had such a happy day and John really contributed to that. A number of the guests remarked on how inconspicuous he was - yet we have so many great photos of everyone who came. A huge thanks to John for giving us such a real and magical pictorial record of our big day, we will treasure it always!"

All the best,
Flo and Fraser

Another nice testimonial from Caroline and Dan:
 
John came and photographed our wedding at Cranleigh Church and afterwards at Cranleigh Golf Club on the 23rd May 2014. In the lead up to the wedding he made excellent suggestions and was able to help us get an idea of what we wanted out of the wedding shots. During the ceremony he blended perfectly into the background, also got on very well with the guests having a good laugh and a joke with the younger ones and remained more formal around our older relatives. We got many positive comments from our guests about John. After the wedding he helped us adjust a few photos to maximise smiling friends and relatives in the larger group pictures to our spec. The whole process was great from start to finish and the finished book looks amazing! Dan and Caroline - Cranleigh Golf Club

I will receive from you....Tears of Joy!

 
If you book me, you are trusting me with a huge responsibility of creating a highly memorable and long lasting pictorial record of one of the most important days in your life. You will expect me to capture amazing moments, big moments, small moments and all the rest in between. To create beautiful images to make you smile, laugh, and bring tears of joy to your eyes. As an example, when Cara and Ashley got married at Great Fosters, Egham, in 2014, when Cara came to pick up the album, she burst into tears and flung her arms round me, kissed me on the cheek, and couldn't stop thanking me.  Gladly, that is generally what often happens when a Bride and Groom see their amazing Graphi Studio wedding album for the first time, well, maybe the groom can hold the kisses, a thank you is just fine!
