I could not recommend Kirsty enough. Some of the photos are total art – others are total joy. The day was captured so perfectly that I was completely obsessed with our album

Kirsty is such an incredibly talented photographer and the combination of this with her awesome personality makes her the perfect wedding photographer!! I’m running out of different ways to describe all of the incredible things about Kirsty, but I’ll end with this – if you need a wedding photographer, book Kirsty. It will be the best decision you make!!!

Kirsty was absolutely incredible!! When we saw Kirsty’s work on Instagram we knew we had to book her for our wedding and we are so glad that we did! From the very beginning, Kirsty was so friendly and warm and made us feel at ease, all her tips and tricks that she sent throughout the planning process were so helpful. When we met Kirsty for our engagement shoot we instantly knew we had made the right decision, she made us feel so at ease, and so comfortable. She also has top banter and we had such a laugh shooting in the rain! On the day itself, she wasn’t just a wedding photographer, she helped me get into my dress and kept me calm throughout. She also had a magical jacket where she kept tones of items in her big pockets, mints, plasters, hair comb you name it!!
