Testimonial - Sarah and Ollie's wedding



We were so pleased we picked Sarah Aires to be our wedding photographer. She had already come highly recommended and we were certainly not disappointed - she exceeded all of our expectations.

Sarah is very friendly and relaxed and listened to what we wanted and also made suggestions taking into consideration what we liked and what we were comfortable with. She put 100% effort into our day with detailed contracts, a practice photo shoot and visiting our venue; Wotton House. On the day, Sarah got all the shots we wanted and took such breathtaking pictures of the chapel and us. She took pictures that truly captured the emotion of the day and how we were feeling.

Sarah has such a keen eye for detail and takes shots that other people might miss and also has a very good technical grasp on lighting and angles! The result is so original and unique and really illustrates her style and identity.

(Thanks again Sarah for creating such a beautiful collection of memories for us.)

Testimonial - Sue and Nick's Wedding


Really enjoyed capturing the wedding day of Sue and Nick who had their relaxed reception for family and close friends in the dreamy village of Peaslake near Guildford - another wonderful sunny May afternoon. The children had free run of the hotel garden and I was in my element taking pictures of them having fun while they grown ups were taking their time over the Wedding Breakfast. Here are a couple of the kind messages I've had..


...Just to say a huge THANK YOU for all your help on our big day - whether it was organising me, making me drink, helping with my last minute make-up or some friendly "directing" at the reception. You fitted in so well and your whole approach to the day was exceptionally thoughtful and very helpful. We're really pleased with our photographs and they show your special talent for taking pictures of children.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
All the very best
Sue and Nick



Dear Sarah
Just a quick note to say what a fantastic job you have done with the photos for my sister's wedding, we were absolutely delighted with them. It was a pleasure to meet you and wish you all the best from bonny Scotland.

Regards
Nick and Rhona Garrad
PS - Now the whole world will see what an Englishman keeps in his sporran!

Ed and Pip - Wedding warm-up session


















It really looked like we were going to get rained off on the Bank Holiday Monday morning we'd earmarked for our 'wedding warm-up portrait session' but we were blessed with the most fantastic weather (bright but cloudy). And although we had a plan to wander round the nearby Goldsworth Park Lake we didn't get further than the back garden! Pip and Ed are a terrific couple, so at ease with each other and naturally fab for the camera! Without masses of space to move around the photographs turned out to have a gentle and intimate feel to them. A result I am very pleased with!

I am so thrilled that it'll be me taking the photos of Ed and Pip's Woking wedding in September. It's going to be a great day....

Sarah and Ollie's Wedding at Wotton House


We had the fun task of photographing Sarah and Ollie's purple extravaganza of a wedding a few weeks ago at Wotton House in Dorking.




These two were so clearly besotted with each other and that shone from their wedding throughout....a highlight for us was their releasing two 'love birds' from the temple in the house grounds... (this is one of Sarah and Ollie's favourite images)

I especially enjoyed the challenge of trying to capture the care that Sarah had so obviously taken planning every last ornate detail of her day in the various regal hues - and not forgetting the elaborate floral displays and bouquets by Lily and Myrtle.

Testimonial - at home family session

Thank you so much Sarah, for the material you sent - an excellent portfolio of varied shots. Everyone concerned was suitably impressed both with the shoot and with the results.

Hope business continuing to be buoyant, and wish you and yours every success in the future.

Once again, thanks again for your flexibility and proactivity with my original request, and for the superb pictures of my grandson and his family . . . .

Kind Regards,

Richard Thomlinson
