Stunning wedding venue Brinkburn Northumberland Weddings have been just posted a little write up about me on their website along with a small selection of their favourite photos I've taken there. They've said some really amazing things!!
It's truly wonderful to be recommended to clients by a wedding venue. I'm hugely proud to be in the position that many of the UK's best wedding venues recommend me to clients not just because I take a half decent photo sometimes, but because they know and trust that a reputable solid business is going to provide a first class service. It's not just about awesome wedding photography. It's much more than that.

A quick teaser from a truly outstanding shoot a couple of weeks back. A great joint effort featuring the very best of talented artists. My personal photography brief, to walk in, find, and only use natural light.

Holy Mackerel!
So, this is a bit (a lot) awesome. Today I received news I'm a finalist for the prestigious and hugely respected The Wedding Industry Awards. Yups, super happy with that 😁
Most importantly, a HUGE thanks to my clients for your support, and every single wonderfully kind word you've took the time to say about me and my business.
... This is the result. Thank you. Very much.

Amy & Gerard / Iscoyd Park So good to see these guys taking centre stage over on The English Wedding Blog! (Link at bottom)
'Paulo was a fantastic photographer. Always professional, kind, funny and totally unobtrusive. Amy’s favourite moment was on the morning of the wedding when Paulo said “if there’s ever anything you need and there’s no one around, feel free to ask me and I’ll go and get it.” - This completely encaptured his humble friendly approach.'

“Paul was great to work with, he’s someone that makes you feel very relaxed. His style matched what we wanted – natural, in the moment, mostly un-posed shots. His use of light and shadows is incredible, he took some very clever shots! He nailed it!
... Having a great photographer to capture the day was really important to us. Paul was recommended to me by a friend, also a fantastic photographer, so I knew we were going to be in good hands – they were both included in the International 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography 2016 by Rangefinder Magazine.”

“Our photographer Paul Santos, who was supported by Caroline from The Twins on the day, was fantastic on the day; they were very discreet and caught lots of lovely moments that we otherwise would have missed.
