Cardwell Photography Proudly capturing precious memories and taking pride of place on walls and mantelpieces for over 50 years. I cannot praise this company high enough. I requested photographs from last year and they were so efficient, so helpful and so friendly. They could not do enough for me. The service from this local business is second to none. I highly recommend them and wish them continued success in the future.

Very impressed with photographer's approach and we've had very favourable comments from parents. We certainly had a much happier and greater uptake compared to last year with our previous company.

Extremely professional and most importantly very sensitive people work here! Aviv Simons, learning that my son immediately broke his school photo the day he received it, offered to make a new one and bring it home to us! I admire such people and such deeds! Thank you very much again!

My son missed out on his class photo and Aviv was great - always friendly, quick to respond to emails and he really went the extra mile to help us. Thank you!

I have used this company in connection with school photographs of my children for the past 8 or so years. Over the years I have found them to be extremely responsive and incredibly helpful. They always go above and beyond expectations when resolving queries. I have no problem in recommending them.

Well what can I say I have used this company since my now 16 yr old daughter was in primary school and then continued to use them for my son. I have never once had an issue with them and the photos I still treasure to this day. Now my son has just moved up to secondary school and I was exited to purchase his tutor photo only to find my son never received it.

Thinking all was lost I contacted the school who had no joy in finding it so I contacted the company. They were amazing, understanding and so helpful and now I'm looking forward to receiving my sons picture. They were so quick to respond and so happy to help and reassure me I would have my sons first tutor photo to treasure along with all his other photos. I can't recommend this company enough great customer service and beautiful pictures to always enjoy time and time again.

Cardwell & Simons have been taking my daughters school photos for a couple of years now, but this year they have taken my sons nursery photos too. They used a festive backdrop and got some amazing photos of a child who refuses most of the time! I struggled to pick out of the huge choice they gave us. The photo packs are great value and we look forward to getting them. Thank you

I have used Cardwell and Simons for 4 years now, therefore It won't surprise you to learn that I think the quality of the shots is excellent. In addition they offer a wide range of products at competitive pricing which (crucially for me) includes a digital download option. But where they truly excel is customer service. Yesterday I managed to delete one of my digital downloads.

I sent Cardwell and Simons an e-Mail and within 15 minutes I had a response (personal not automated) with a new download link to retrieve An image taken 9 months ago! Well worth the 5 stars and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend

We have always bought the school photographs - they are excellent quality, clear and happy photographs. The photographs are delivered quickly, any correspondence with customer service has been very helpful and they offer good value for money. Would recommend to others.

Ordered school photos of my nephew. They were fab and I like the unique code making it easy to choose. They also arrived ahead of the delivery date and I was kept informed of progress which was great. Genuinely pleased with the quality and professionalism
