Guy was amazing from start to finish! From our initial contact, Guy has been extremely professional and efficient - asking us what we were looking for in our photos and guiding us through the day. He would always respond to our questions quickly and provide great ideas or suggestions with no pressure. We had a small wedding of 30 guests at the registry office and wanted a few professional photos to treasure.
Guy really went above and beyond, taking charge whilst making us and all our guests feel very comfortable (which is particularly impressive as Hubby hates having his photo taken!). The photos are marvelous and we received them quickly. Well above our expectations. We would highly recommend Guy.

We were so happy with our wedding pictures from Guy. We had so many comments from our guests on what a lovely person he was. The pictures arrived very quickly, we got to go through them on honeymoon. Definitely recommend him! We will get in touch with you again if we need further photography services. Marion & Darren

We are so pleased that we chose Guy as the photographer for our wedding. The photos are exactly what we wanted - a great mix of lovely photos of the two of us throughout the day, nice group pictures and lots of natural shots showing really fun and sweet moments. He is very familiar with Old Marylebone Town Hall (our wedding venue) and really helped us make the most of photo opportunities there.
He's lovely to work with and made the whole process feel very streamlined and easy. He even went above and beyond to help coordinate our guests and the registry office on the day which we very much appreciated! The quality and variety of the photos he produced are excellent. Looking through them we really felt that he captured the spirit of our day. Would highly recommend!

My partner and I were looking for a professional wedding photographer for our small town hall wedding ceremony and after a quick google search we found Guy's website. We immediately loved the photos on his website and the candid/documentary style of his wedding photos really appealed to us. Guy was always professional and friendly throughout my communication with him.
He provided all the information we needed and was happy to answer additional questions. When we met Guy on the day, he was super friendly and it felt like we had always known him and he made everyone at our ceremony feel super relaxed while he took photos. We also benefited from Guy's familiarity with the Marylebone Town Hall because he knew where and when to take the best photos.
We are very happy with our decision to book Guy for our wedding because the photos he took during and after our ceremony are amazing. We received the photos soon after the wedding and he captured all the moments that we would have wanted and more. It was a pleasant surprise to see some of the photos he took. If you want beautiful photos of your special day, choose Guy. You will be very happy with the experience and pleased with the resulting photos. I wholeheartedly recommend Guy Milnes Wedding photography.

We are so happy with the photos and the entire experience of working with Guy! Right from the beginning, Guy was extremely professional and responsive. He also went above and beyond to explain to us what to expect on the day (his website contains amazing information about weddings too!). We booked him for our micro-wedding, which started off with an hour of pre-wedding photoshoot around Chelsea Old Town Hall.
It felt weird and awkward for us at first but Guy immediately made us feel at ease. All my guests also had a great time working with Guy and everyone was impressed with our choice of the photographer! The final photos didn't take long to arrive at all and they look amazing! Guy has perfectly captured the greatest moments of the day and we can't recommend him enough! Thank you Guy!

Guy was a pleasure to work with and made us feel so comfortable although neither of us really like having our photo taken! He was so accommodating and made sure we had all the photos we wanted - he was even happy to climb on a wobbly picnic table to get a shot of everyone! He sent our photos to us one week after our wedding and they are all great shots which capture the fun of the day. We cannot recommend Guy highly enough! Thank you Guy!

We booked Guy for our wedding day as we wanted someone to capture the natural flow and not focus too much on "posey" photos - Guy was absolutely perfect. In the lead up to the wedding he was very responsive and understood what we wanted, he was also really helpful with explaining what's usually expected on the day! On the day, everyone thought Guy was really friendly and unimposing, but he still captured really lovely formal shots for the in-laws etc!
Some of my favourite photos are just lovely natural shots of people chatting and laughing with each other, which Guy has a great knack for capturing! He also made an absolutely beautiful slideshow of highlights, which was well worth it! I'd highly recommend :-

We're so glad we booked Guy to take our wedding photos. We chose the one hour wedding package for our micro wedding and found the whole process to be effortless. Guy immediately put us at our ease and took beautiful photos. He also provided them within two days, so we were able to see them before going on our honeymoon. We highly recommend Guy for the quality of his work, relaxed natural style and great customer service.

Guy has been great to work with from start to finish. We decided to give Guy a call because he'd photographed many weddings in Bristol so knew the area, best places etc but also his style of photography was one we were comfortable with. I hate getting my picture taken but Guy made it so easy on the day and we had lots of fun. Thanks so much for making me feel at ease and for bringing that sense of calm to the morning.

We hired Guy for just a few hours to photograph our small wedding in London. Right from the initial enquiry, he was really helpful and made the whole process so easy. I was very impressed with Guy's website, which is full of useful details. I have worked with several photographers in my professional life and too often their websites are just a showcase of their portfolio with little practical information. Guy's site told me everything I needed to know about the entire process, so I knew he would be right for us.
We didn't even consider booking anyone else. We had to postpone our wedding twice due to Covid and Guy was very understanding about this, and despite our wedding falling during what must be an exceptionally busy time, we had our photos within four days. We're not fans of having our photo taken, but the posed shots were over with very quickly and the rest of the day we would hardly have known Guy was there. The photos are lovely and I can't wait to share them with our guests. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Guy to anyone.

Guy was extremely professional and easy to communicate with throughout the process, from our initial booking to after the wedding itself. He was very open to our suggestions and engaged well with all our guests. We had a great time taking both posed and candid photographs and we were so impressed with the outcome. Thank you!

We have just received Guy's photos, and we couldn't be happier with the result. There are amazing, wonderful, great moments frozen in time, just as we had imagined when we decided to hire a photographer. We choose the 1 hour-package because our wedding was going to be a short ceremony at Kensington and Chelsea Old Town Hall, but we wanted to have good memories of the whole thing.
Guy was helpful from the beginning, friendly and quick responding to a changing environment and throughout the entire day of the wedding. When we met him in person, we could feel his charm and supportive behaviour. We were very relaxed and had a lot of fun doing some of the pictures. The result is first-class, and the value for money is definitely one of the advantages. He's our favourite photographer from now on. Thanks, Guy!

We asked Guy to be our wedding photographer for our small family wedding at The Celtic Manor. From when we booked him until after we received the final photographs he was great. We asked him to photograph before the ceremony, during the ceremony and for group shots after. He was relaxed, professional and made everyone feel at ease. We didn't have to wait long for the final images and when we received them we couldn't believe how stunning they were.
We've shown them to family and friends who all loved them. We were so glad we found Guy, to be our photographer, he fitted in with the day perfectly and we are so thankful for the photographs he took of our day. They are lovely memories that we will always cherish and look back at.

My wife and I are so glad we hired Guy Milnes for our wedding day in London, November 2017. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and has given us so many lovely photo's of our special day. He was friendly, professional and knowledgeable and has a manner that outs everybody at ease. He was very patient with our young daughters who are 1 and 3 years old so not easy ages to shoot.
We now have some absolutely beautiful shots of them as well as our venue, family and us on our big day. We'll definitely be recommending him to others and are hiring him again for our reception in 2018. Ryan and Charlotte Wharton

We live abroad but were having a civil partnership ceremony in London, so we had to play it all a bit by ear, organising everything online and not being able to meet anyone - from caterer to reception venue, Town Hall, and photographer of course - until not long before the big day. After looking at various photographers' work on the internet we decided that we really liked the look of Guy's style of photography.
We contacted him and kept in touch by email and on the phone, and at his suggestion met up a month or so before the ceremony so that we could discuss the kind of things we wanted/didn't want, and Guy couldn't have been more helpful throughout the whole process. On the day itself everyone commented how friendly he was, and patient too, on what turned out to be a scorching hot day to say the least!
Just a week after the ceremony we already had a slideshow and a quite a few photos. We also ordered the photo book and we stayed in touch to sort out the photos that were to go in it and how it should look, again Guy couldn't have been more helpful: the end result is we now have a fantastic set of colour and black and white photos, a photo book and a slideshow to remind us of what a great day it was. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a professional photographer. Thanks Guy, we really appreciate all the hard work you put in!

Guy was the photographer for our wedding in Oxford back in October 2016 and he was everything we hoped he would be. He was professional throughout the process from our initial email and phone conversation through to the day itself, and was particularly helpful in talking us through and pointing out important things to consider on the day. His communication throughout was top-notch.
His documentary style was exactly what we were looking for and we're so happy with the natural shots he got of the day. We hardly noticed him and we never felt like we needed to do forced poses, he just popped up in the right place at the right time to get the perfect picture. We would recommend Guy to anyone!

Guy was absolutely fantastic from the moment we met him. He captured every wonderful moment of the day and was very discrete and professional, but also a lot of fun! His photographs are beautiful and we couldn't be happier with him. His service is outstanding and we will be recommending him to everyone who we know getting married. He took such beautiful natural photographs and did everything we asked for.
He made a stunning photo book and took so many photos, if only we could display them all! The best wedding photographs we have seen (he also did our friends wedding before so we knew they were amazing). Can't recommend highly enough!

Guy photographed our wedding for us in May and we couldn't be more happy with his work. We found him online and were impressed with his photos so we called him. His response time was super speedy and gave us all the information we needed, which made us feel comfortable with him from the start. The moments he captured on camera, of our special day, were absolutely perfect. He made sure he knew what we wanted and subtly snapped away. We now have beautiful pictures to keep forever. Thank you Guy!

We used Guy for a small and intimate second marriage at the end of last year at Chelsea Old Town Hall. We only used him for a limited time slot as we were only 7 people, but in that time he got lots of really nice shots. He worked well with my children also, getting the best out of them and the end result was both a very quick turnaround and of very high quality.

The fact that he was able to offer less than a full day meant he was an excellent choice for our requirements.

Amazing!!! The more we look at them the more we love them, and we were very impressed from the beginning so that's saying a lot! You made our day so special, such a patient and pleasant photographer, great personality - just put everyone at ease. Thanks for working non stop and giving us such a great selection of memories. We are so happy. Matthew and Jacqueline Robbins

We asked Guy to take photos for my Dad's 70th having been impressed by what we saw and read on his website. We were not disappointed - Guy is a very unobtrusive photographer who excels at taking spontaneous 'natural' photos. We were enormously impressed and I will be strongly recommending him in the future.

My husband and I used Guy Milnes Photogaphy for our wedding earlier this year. We really couldn't fault his service from start to finish. Guy was receptive to our wishes and gave sound advice and suggestions both at our initial meetings and on the wedding day itself. On the day he was really flexible and efficient. He worked hard and produced so many fantastic photos which we and our families will always cherish.
He organised for us to have a CD and photoboooks which are presented beautifully. He produced a range of photos including group, portrait and reportage photos. Guests commented on how friendly he was without disrupting the natural flow of the day. We would (and have!) recommend Guy to our friends. Thank you! May and William (!)
