Jason & Lisa

Married at Dillington House – Ilminster, Somerset

 

From Jason: “I’ve had Ross take photos for my headshots, 40th birthday, engagement, friends family shoot, stag do and wedding. Now this run of important events that Ross has chronicled with his great photography must surely tell you – he is one of the best around. Remember, when your event is over you’ll be left with just two things, your memories and your photos. And we’ll never regret having Ross at our wedding. Brilliant, thanks for your fantastic work on our special day!”

 

From Lisa: “If you are searching for a wedding photographer who can provide you with professionalism, advice, is naturally at ease with all of your wedding guests and provides you with a high class wedding album with the most amazing photographs and memories that you can cherish for years to come …. then Ross is your man!!! Without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding and wanting everything to be perfect.”

“At first it was great that you were local, but the main reason we chose you was when we met you, you made us both feel confident that we were going to get good pictures as you made us feel at ease about having our picture taken, and also because you were so friendly. We also thought where we met you looked very professional and the work that you had previously done made us definitely want to book you.

 

Thank you sooo much for the photos, all of them are fantastic. Thank you for being a great photographer and we enjoyed having you at our wedding, you definitely made us feel laid back about having our photo taken and I have recommended you to loads of people!!”

Married at Sheldon ManorChippenham, Wiltshire

 

“Mark and I hired Ross to cover our wedding in July 2010 at Sheldon Manor, Wiltshire. We had complete confidence in Ross’s creative and technical ability, and we were proved right as our photos were so fantastic that we decided to upgrade from a basic package to the biggest and best album available. We still get great pleasure looking at the album and I am sure we will for many years to come. You only get married once, so its important to keep those memories as special as they were on the day you said “I do”. I would not hesitate to recommend Ross – a really top, personable guy with an amazing creative ability.”

 

Facebook comment: “Hey Ross – just been looking at our wedding album. 4 years on – the pictures are so great and it’s such a fantastic record of the day. Thank you so much.”

“We chose Ross Alexander to photograph our wedding because we wanted someone who would capture the special moments throughout the day. For us, our wedding day wasn’t just a picture in a frame, but a collection of images that would remind us of the commitment we made and people we shared it with. We loved the way Ross captured the emotions, and the adventure. We get compliments from people all the time on the photos – how beautiful and yet how natural they are. People who weren’t able to attend saw the photos and felt like they were there!”

“We booked Ross at the last minute for our intimate wedding. We only wanted a small package due to the size of our wedding and Ross tailored it perfectly, even with flexibility on the day of staying for an additional hour because the weather was too good not to take the opportunity to capture more of the day!

 

We are super pleased with all of the photos, Ross captured the day from every angle. Our family commented that he was a lovely guy and 'not one of those intrusive in your face sorts of photographer' !! Blending into the background working hard for you. Thanks Ross!.“

“Ross really captured the happiness and fun of the day and I will treasure the photos forever. He was so unobtrusive yet skilled at getting the right shot, and my guests all commented on how they didn’t even notice him as he captured them in the moment. The result is photos that really show the emotion and laughter of the day without looking at all staged. Thank you Ross.”

“Despite organising a wedding in 2 weeks, I was still keen on making sure we had a professional photographer on the day. I was not disappointed with Moment Photography. From our initial meeting to the long list of requirements and finally the day itself, Ross was always on hand to offer his excellent advice and recommendations. We are very happy and could not fault the outcome. Would recommend to anyone.”

“We cannot recommend Ross from Moment Photography highly enough. From the outset we were clear that we wanted a photographer who could be in the right place, at the right time but blend into the background. He promised a mix of formal and informal shots and he delivered. What we have is a stunning collection of photographs, that tell the story of our day, in beautiful technicolour and classic black and white. Thank you Ross...you interpreted our brief to perfection!"

I have to say that I am not a fan of having my photograph taken usually, so was worried about that part of the day. You made me feel very relaxed and you managed to get so many lovely photos without me noticing you taking them!

 

Also, thank you for the first dance video. It was really lovely of you to do that and such a brilliant surprise!“

"We used Moment photography for our family photo shoot as it was a more personalised experience. Ross came out to the location which was at my parents. We got some great natural looking pictures of us all in their woods and gardens (not easy as our Siberian husky does not like to keep still ). Ross made sure we got everything we wanted to capture and more :)"

“Ross at Moment Photography did an amazing job of taking our wedding photos a few years ago (we got gorgeous photos in a beautiful large album for a good price) so we hired him again recently to come and take photos at a family birthday event. He was punctual, professional, friendly, reasonably priced and we were really chuffed with the photos that he took this time too. Would definitely recommend!”

"My wife had always wanted a photo of all the children and grandchildren so when we booked a family holiday for her 60th birthday we decided to book a photographer to come to the holiday house. We didn't have any recommendations but liked the look of Ross' work. Ross was with us for an afternoon and he was brilliant, so patient with us all especially the two toddlers . He listened to what we wanted and also gave us ideas.


The photos were ready for us to view within a few days and they are amazing, the only problem is choosing which to have as they are all so good. Thoroughly recommend for those special photos."

He didn’t bat an eye lid when the children got bored. The photos he got really captured our family and the cheeky essence of all the children. He delivered the pictures really quickly."

"A fantastic way to spend time with the family and capture the moment. Lyme Regis is our favourite place and we looked for the right person to capture our family picture while on holiday. I came across some of the previous shoots in Lyme Regis and gave Ross a call.

 

Arranging the session was so quick and easy and the communication excellent. I loved the work shown on Moment Photography's website. Ross was reassuring and professional. He knew exactly what we could achieve in an hour. He read our family well and made us feel at ease.

 

Our favourite pictures are just capturing conversation around the table and of our son fooling around! We love them. We would highly recommend Moment Photography to capture your family. Outstanding."

"I Googled for a local photographer for my Mum's very special 80th birthday and looked at sample photos from a number of options in Somerset. Ross' website stood out for the quality of pictures and range of occasions he was experienced in. He was really easy to communicate with and very organised which gave me a lot of confidence.

Ross turned out to be the perfect photographer for our very special family get together. He fitted in so well with our group and his taking pictures didn't detract from our event at all, and he was great at working with all ages and types of people. He managed to produce fantastic photographs which completely captured the feel of the day.

 

We have wonderful relaxed pictures of us all socialising as well as more formal group shots with superb backdrops despite very limited surroundings. There are some fabulous pictures which will be treasured. Ross worked so well with our specifications, he totally understood what I was hoping for and nothing was too much trouble.

 

Excellent value for money and a great experience. I can't recommend Ross highly enough as a quality photographer and a really good chap to work with.

Thanks Ross."

"My family and I had booked a holiday to Somerset to celebrate my youngest son's 1st birthday and my eldest son's 3rd birthday. We wanted to mark the occasion by creating some fun memories. I contacted Ross from Moment Photography to help us capture these memories in the form of photos.

From the moment I contacted Ross he was prompt, professional, and courteous. He was patient and thorough answering all of my questions and very informative. Ross recommended the location.

During the photoshoot Ross made everyone feel relaxed. Ross tried to make a connection with the boys so he could get the best out of them. Ross made up various jokes to put the kids in a perfect mood for silly poses.

In summary the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. Our goal was exceeded and we have got 20 beautiful pictures to cherish.

Thank you so much Ross :-) "
