Thank you's!
It always makes it so worthwhile to receive thank you's from my clients. Here are a few that I would like to share with you. They are all lovely people and if you would personally like to talk to any of one of them about their photography experience with me, then that isn't a problem:
"Symply photography gave us excellent customer service and provided us with some fantastic photos of our big day. We booked them to photograph our wedding. Sharon, our photographer spoke to us a few days before to find out what photos we would like and who we would like in them. She also understood how stressful organising a wedding can be, and she took the stress out of the photography aspect as soon as we booked her. She was flexible with our requests, but also used her expertise to point out what would work well and what wouldn't on our big day. On the actual day she arrived promptly to take photos of myself and my parents and bridesmaids before the ceremony and instantly put us at ease with her friendly manner. Again she was open to any specific photographs we wanted taking. During the ceremony she was very discreet and we hardly knew she was there taking photos until we looked back at them!
She was very good at organising lots of dithering relatives and friends in and out of photos, and the fact that the weather was horrible did not phase her in the slightest. She was more than happy to accommodate any last minute changes or requested photos, and she also managed to take all the photo's that we had originally requested and lots more besides.
It was a pleasure to have her as our photographer. Sharon put the photo's on her website promptly. They were amazing to look at and have provided us with so many lovely reminders of our day. Everyone that has seen the photo's have thought they were excellent, one friend said that if she could get married again she would chose Symply photography to do her photos, as they were much better than the ones she had taken!" Kate & Dan Lond, Bride & Groom, Reading
"Thank you so much for being our wedding photographer. You were a pleasure to work with, and for two people who do not really like having their photos taken you managed to consistently capture our best side! The photos are excellent with real variety and we are going to find it difficult to select our favourites!" Vicky and Ben Mason, Bride & Groom, Leadenham
"We looked around and spoke to several photographers for our wedding. We decided to go with Sharon because she was very friendly and professional. We arranged to go and see Sharon and she talked us through the whole process. We liked the idea we didn't have to sign up for any package but just pay Sharon for her time and then it was our decision as to what we wanted after the Wedding. Sharon was very kind and approachable and put my husband, myself and our families at ease. She was also very good with our two young children not having a rigid agenda which we had to stick to. I would defiantly recommend Symply Photography to all my family and friends" Amy Leader, Bride - Sleaford
""Sharon was the photographer for our recent wedding. From the start she was friendly and professional and put us completely at ease. The photographs taken on the day were fantastic - we are over the moon with them all (especially the album and the cd) - and the level of service second to none. We will certainly recommend Sharon to anybody else we hear are getting married" Sally & Neil Mott, Bride & Groom, - Sleaford
"Hi Sharon - I cannot and would not change anything about how you managed our wedding. You made it so relaxed and informal - I didn't stress or suffer a panic attack. You were absolutely fantastic with our special needs children also - thank you so much" Tina Goddard - bride, Horncastle
"Sharon took our wedding photos, they came out great and she was very good on the day - blending in with everyone and getting the photos without being instrusive. She helped with our albums, which we were very pleased about. Also, unlike other photographers that we looked at, pricing was reasonable and split out into each element, which allowed us to pick and choose rather than have to get a 3 album deal or the like. I would recommend Sharon to anyone" Steven & Anne Cleary, Bride & Groom, Newmarket
"WOW! What can I say; many thanks for Jemma & Rob's wedding album and calendar. The presentation is absolutely beautiful - I am so pleased with it. I just can't stop looking at it! THANK YOU Sharon for your patience, understanding and professionalism at the wedding. We were so pleased with all the photos - there wasn't a bad one amongst the 100's taken. I would have no hesitation in recommending you. SYMply Photography is SYMply the Best!!" Joyce Farrell - mother of the bride, Huddersfield.
"The album is absolutely fantastic - thank you so much .... brilliant. You were fantastic on the day and so organised. I cannot see how you can improve on such a great service! It was fantastic working with you." Cherie & Tim Richmond - bride & groom, Boston
"Sharon - thank you for the professionalism and personable attitude you gave us throughout . It's not just the wedding day, but taking care of us the whole way through. That's what we were hoping for , and we got it - in spades! It has been a great experience!" Maryam & Blair Anderson - bride and groom , Lincoln
" Sharon was the best photographer we could have chosen for our wedding. She met us beforehand to talk through exactly what we wanted, and we loved the fact she wasn't structured to a particular amount of photos, style of photo or wanting us to pose for hours on end - she knew it was our day and not the photographers! On the day she was fantastic. She listened to us when we had had enough but also made sure she had the perfect selection without us even realising!. Choosing the photos afterwards was also so easy she listened to what we wanted and then had plenty of ideas to suit our individual budget - she made us feel very much at ease. I would recommend Sharon to anyone who wants their wedding photos informal, whilst capturing classic moments - a photographer who is laid back, but also very organsied - for us she was perfect! Thanks so much for a great day, with lots of fantastic memories Sharon, we will see you again once there is the patter of tiny feet! Liz & Steve Curley, Bride & Groom, Helpringham
"Many thanks for the service you provided for on Amy & Bryn's wedding day. You were very professional taking the photos without any fuss or disruption to the day. The photos are excellent and the albums you created are fantastic. We will gladly recommend you to anyone - a very friendly service" Glyn & Adele Thorpe, Bride's parents , Ruskington
"Just a quick note to thank you for the beautiful photos you took. The photo shoot was such good fun - Connie had a ball! I was so overwhelmed when I saw the photo montage - it was so emotional to see the girls captured with their personalities on show. We will treasure these very special images for the rest of our lives. Thank you again" Michelle New - private sitting customer, Reading
"It was lovely to meet you properly yesterday..... we liked the style of your photos and I particularly liked the way the people on them looked so natural and relaxed! We also felt that we could feel really comfortable working with you on the day. Your ideas for the order of taking the photos matched mine, and I loved the idea of the 'receiving line' after the ceremony, which I hadn't considered." Steffi Smith - prospective bride, Nottingham
"Thank you for taking such beautiful photos at our daughter's wedding. As you know we were all a bit worried that the day would be frantic with so many children to take pictures of, especially two babies. All of the pictures are perfect and a wonderful reminder of my daughter's wedding day. The DVD especially brings a tear to everyone's eye!" Gill Henson, Sleaford
" Thank you so much for all your hard work and understanding manner - you've been brill - especially having to work with picky brides like me! It's lovely to meet someone who is so passionate about their job - you have made our day last forever Thank you also for getting the photos up so quickly, they are fab! I love them all!! Just to let you know that our guests thought you were brilliant. It's always nice for you to get good feedback. Thank you again for capturing our special day so wonderfully!" Jemma & Rob Murphy, Bride & Groom Huddersfield" Jemma & Robert Murphy, Bride & Groom, Huddersfield
"What can I say - they are amazing!..... we went to see so many photographers before I met you - I was beginning to think I was being too picky but you made me realise I wasn't. I believe that the photos are one of the most important part of your wedding but I didn't want them to take over. You had it so perfect - you are so laid back yet you organized my unruly family brilliantly. I loved your approach to the whole day, the way you took as many photos as you sw fit, and let us choose as many as we wanted. The way we choose the album after the hectic event, we weren't pushed into choosing there and then (there are enough decisions to make) and you were so patient with us when we weren't ready when you arrived and all throughout the day. Thanks so much Sharon, you have given us lots of fantastic memories..." Jill & Martin Stothard, bride & groom, Grantham
"Sharon has been taking our Pre School photos for a number of years now. She has always proved to be conscientious in her approach - she is fabulous with the children and she takes excellent photos!" Karen Barry - Heckington Pre School
"Once again, thanks for all your efforts at our recent Boxing event in Spalding. I know it is a difficult job at the best of times, not allowing for VIP's running 45 minutes late but yet again you did a fantastic job in pulling it all together and making up the time..... we look forward to seeing you again next year" Adrian Griggs- Spalding Round Table

I felt that you had some great ideas about how to proceed with the structure of the day and as I don't like my photograph taken I would feel quite at ease and comfortable around you. I didn't realise there were so many options available with regard to the finished photo's! Following a discussion with my partner Anthony, we would like to proceed with booking you for our wedding photographs" Jan Fraser- prospective bride, Sleaford
