The Wedding Industry Awards and a 2015 message from us!

Wow, what an incredible year it has been, culminating in the company being a regional finalist at The Wedding Industry Awards at the first time of asking! It wasn't to be our year this time but it was great recognition for the work we're producing for our couples. What's more, it was nice to have a night out with Kate which is unfortunately a rare occurrence nowadays with our second child born only 5 weeks before the event took place!
It was also a pleasure to catch up with so many amazingly, talented suppliers that I have met along the way. To be in your company on the night was an honour.

I'm so proud of the comments from our amazing clients who took the time to cast their vote and I wanted to share a few with you. I'm happy to say that we had a lot! This company was set up to try and set a new, better standard when it comes to wedding photography with work that is different, truly natural and with customer service like no other. Looking at the below I'm truly humbled!

We've already booked 3 more weddings for 2016 than our record breaking 2015 so this vision that I had wanted to achieve, seems to be going from strength to strength, thanks to a big part by you.

We wish everyone a very happy new year.

James & Kate x

James went the extra mile to make a our wedding day extra special. He spent a lot if time before the wedding getting to know us as a couple, and didn’t leave the wedding until extremely late, making sure he captured every aspect of our day. We really feel that we have made a friend in James, he wasn’t just our photographer, and thats how he makes all of his wedding couples feel. 
Mr Andy Pilsbury

From booking our wedding photography to our pre-wedding photo shoot through to our wedding day and receiving our photographs, James was amazing. So professional and talented! He made the whole day run so smoothly, made everyone feel relaxed and was a pleasure to share our wedding day with! We were so overwhelmed with our wedding photos, they are absolutely incredible. 
Mrs Laura Pike (Lewis)

James made us feel comfortable from very first meeting right through to the wedding day. His ability to blend in but still get the shots and to make all around him feel happy and comfortable was wonderful. He was also very understanding of our need to be involved in the wedding and we spent very little time away from our guests during the day. 
Mrs Amy Andreoni (Hadley)

James was amazing from start to finish. His photographs are beautiful, his albums stunning, and James, caring and passionate about capturing something truly special between two people. James put so much time and effort in and really went the extra mile, right from our pre-wed shoot through to the last minute on the wedding day! We could not have picked a more perfect photographer for our special day, and he really has captured some precious moments for life. 
Mrs Daisy Molin

James was very professional, great fun and easy to get on with. The photos are superb and really tell a story from the pre wed all the way to the last picture! 
Mr Andrew Biddle

ATD photography from the very first day we met them were extremely professional and very friendly. We found the whole process extremely comforting with them and having them be part of our wedding was fantastic. The quality of the photos are extremely good and James has a great quirky side which gives a different element to your album. Overall we could not recommend ATD enough and look back on the day and weeks running up to our wedding and thank their professionalism and approachability. 
Mr Chris Mahoney

James of ATD photography made myself and my now husband Gez feel really comfortable from day 1. When it came to the wedding day this was very apparent as several people asked if he was one of our close friends, to which I replied; no we found him at a wedding fayre. I have completely fallen in love with all of my photos and there is not one that I thought negatively in anyway about. His natural photography is outstanding and I believe he fully deserves the award. I would recommend him to anyone! 
Mrs Charlotte Evans (Morris)

James at ATD photography went above and beyond with our wedding images, when we viewed them we laughed, reminisced and cried happy tears. They were breathtaking! James' dedication to his bride and grooms is second to none, I've never felt so relaxed and at ease. I would recommend ATD to everyone I know :) Thank You James 
Mrs Jess Chandler (Mincher)

James was absolutely amazing from the moment we first spoke with him. He had such a relaxed attitude and made us both feel really comfortable in his presence. We loved that he wasn't at all formal and the fact that we got to spend a whole day with him for the pre-wed shoot made it even better as we knew what to expect on the day. To be completely honest we hardly knew he was there on our wedding day but his photographs were amazing and his attention to detail we think are unrivalled. 
Mr Peter Trotman

All brides find themselves looking through magazines and popular blogs for inspirations and ideas. I realised that it was in the strength of the photographers ability to capture these images that made all of these wedding articles so inspiring. For me a photographer was such a key part in telling your story and James did this. He did not just simply take a photograph of all the separate aspects of the wedding but captured our wedding in a way that was personal to us. Thank you ATD Photography! 
Mrs Laura Hinde (Lewis)

From the moment we met James we knew he was the photographer for us. It is as important to him to understand and get to know what we wanted our wedjng day to be like as it was for us. He relaxed my now husband whomwas super nervous and made the pre wedding and weddjng day shoot so much fun. James feels like one of your perfect friend guests on the day, always aruond but not in the way, dressed impecably and subtly looking out for you too. And then there is the photos - breathtaking 
Mrs Anna Nijjar

James was great he really made an effort to get to know us and what we wanted which made our photos so incredible! Couldn't recommend him enough! 
Mrs Samantha Williams

After attending previous weddings we realized that the most successful photos are the natural ones and we wanted a photographer that would capture the natural and relaxed side. The photos we relieved capture the scenery at the church and reception venue beautifully. Furthermore the guests at the wedding said they liked the way he took photos whilst walking around. We would recommend Atd photography. 
Mrs Cheryl Kneller (Lavender)

James made us relaxed and at ease in our formal shots and captured us and our guest in lovely informal moments beautifully. 
Dr Alexandra Barnfield

James is an incredibly talented and lovely chap, it was a pleasure to have him around on our special day. 
Mrs Julia Schollick

ATD made every element of our photography experience so much fun, stress free, and memorable. From the pre wedding shoot, where James spent nearly a whole day with us, to the big day itself, James worked tirelessly to ensure he captured some fantastic moments. His fun, mild mannered, professional and easy going character set us at ease throughout; he was a pleasure to have around. He surpassed our expectations in many ways; and the end product is stunning, we have had many compliments :-) 
Mrs Angie Glasby (Button)

Why They Booked
We booked James because of the high quality pictures we saw at Pendrell Hall. 
Mr Andrew Biddle

The photos were so beautiful, and different, and captured something between couples that I had seen in no other photos. James was so engaging at the wedding fayre and passionate about his work. He seemed very laid back and put us at ease about having our photographs taken. 
Mrs Daisy Molin

His photographs of our friend's wedding were beautiful. 
Dr Alexandra Barnfield

Photography style 
Mrs Cheryl Kneller (Lavender)

The style of photos was just what we were looking for - not too formal! The price was very reasonable and to make it even more special he includes a pre-wed shoot. 
Mrs Samantha Williams

Whilst browsing ATD Photography's portfolio I was filled with both excitement and dread! I was excited to find a local photographer who's work was so current and I found myself wanting to look through each photograph that James had taken. I was filled with dread thinking that our wedding budget would not stretch far enough for a photographer that showed such a high quality but when I saw his prices it took less than a second to book him! It was a complete surprise to find included in this price would also be a pre wedding photo session. A chance to meet James before the wedding to get used to having our photograph taken at 2 different locations of our choice. This gave us chance to clear any nerves before the big day. After the wedding day we were then left with not 1 but 2 beautiful sets of photographs to treasure. I don't think value for money gets any better than that! James did not compromise on quality for cost, he went above and beyond our expectations of a photographer and just also happened to be one of the nicest people you could meet. No regrets here! 
Mrs Laura Hinde (Lewis)

I loved the photos that James does, he just gets it. 
Mrs Anna Nijjar

Quality of images and we loved James' relaxed approach, his passion for his craft was infectious :) 
Mrs Jess Chandler (Mincher)

From the moment we met James he was interested in us and what we did and how we wanted the day to happen. He was great to bounce ideas off and to get feedback from and was only too happy to help in whichever way he could. We have recommended him to friends who are getting married and would have no hesitation in recommending his work to anyone. He was an absolute joy to deal with and we couldn’t have wished for a better photographer. 
Mr Peter Trotman

Photos shown at wedding fayre were beautiful and natural. Seemed very professional but friendly and made myself and husband feel at ease when we don't usually like our photos taken 
Mrs Charlotte Evans (Morris)

We liked his style and the way he wrote about his work on his site and on his blog. 
Mrs Amy Andreoni (Hadley)

We felt a connection with ATD photography as soon as we met James at a local wedding fayre, his samples were fantastic and made us feel so relaxed right from this point. 
Mrs Laura Pike (Lewis)

Reputation, first impression of ATD extremely good, quality of work, value for money 
Mr Chris Mahoney

We really liked the style of photography and the products that ATD offered. And we really liked James too :-) 
Mrs Angie Glasby (Button)

We looked at a lot of photographers and James stood out a mile, the quality of his work is second to non, he is extremely talented at what he does
