“My wife and I hired Winston to shoot our wedding and Tipi reception. I really must say that from the off we were very impressed with just how much he cared! We had a couple of Skype convos so we could meet and to give Winston a good idea of how we were hoping the day would pan out and again closer to the day so we could go through some of the finer details such as group shots and the who’s who of the family as he wanted to ensure that we got plenty of pictures of the important guests through the day as well I.e grandparents etc..

On the day he was fantastic he captured so many absolutely amazing moments perfectly as well as the usual “staged shots” he also got the finer details that we had worked hard to include into the background at the reception, brilliant pictures of the guests enjoying themselves and of course us enjoying the best day of our life.

We gave Winston free reign to be a creative as he liked on the day and especially with our just us shots and I am so pleased that we did!! The man is a photography wizard!!

The photos we got back were beautiful I can not put into words just how happy we were with them! Creative, innovative, and beautiful! We will absolutely 110% be calling on Winston again in the future for any of our other big life events!

Can not recommend enough!!”

“Choosing Winston to be the photographer for our special day, was most certainly one of the best decisions we have made as a couple. Beyond his unique ability to capture special moments, his kindness, professionalism and enthusiasm made our day so memorable. He blended seamlessly into the background, it was like he was a guest, yet he made an impression with everybody, who kept asking: ‘Where did you find your wedding photographer?’

Each time we watch our slideshow or flick through our photos we see another memory that makes us smile. Both formal and casual shots were caught perfectly and his creative mind meant we captured some shots we wouldn’t have dreamed of. If you choose Winston as your wedding photographer you are in for a special treat, he will guarantee amazing shots and will be fantastic company.”

“Winston was our photographer at our wedding in September. He was completely brilliant. From the initial conversations to find out what we wanted by phone and then Skype, to taking the time to get to know our friends and families on the day, and working with us throughout so everything went smoothly. Winston’s lovely personality means that he quickly puts people at ease and is able to take awesome natural photos, which really capture the day and everybody smiling, whilst also being able to coordinate and fit in the group shots and couple photos that you’ve asked for. I can’t recommend him highly enough! thanks again for everything!!”

~ Catie & Dustie

“Not only is Winston an absolute wizard with a camera but he is also one of the nicest people you will meet. Other than his brilliant photography one of Winstons greatest skills is being able to mix in with all the other guests and not knowing you had a photographer there but just another great guest at your wedding. We are so glad that we chose Winston as our photographer for our wedding and he managed to capture our day perfectly which has been fantastic to look back on. Everyone who has seen our photos have commented how great the pictures are and just how good Winston is. Thank you so much for your great work!!”

“Winston did an amazing job on capturing the joy, emotion and happiness of our wedding day. There are some really stunning shots of us, the wedding guests and venue. We asked Winston to capture moments that really reflected the day rather than lots of formal shots. That is exactly what he did! He has an amazing eye. He is a lovely guy and is very good with small children and nervous brides! He puts everyone at ease and gets smiles out of very shy children, whilst working efficiently, unobtrusively and creatively. We couldn’t recommend Winston more highly. Thank you!”

“I’m so pleased that Winston was recommended to us. Not only were his photos stunning but he was lots of fun to have at the wedding too! He captured each moment perfectly and I cannot help but smile whenever I look back at the photos.”

“Winston was our photographer for our elopement to Iceland and for our wedding celebration when we returned. He has an amazing eye for the perfect shot. Some of our favourite photos from Iceland are places that he spotted at the side of the road. Winston photographed our two very different days perfectly. Our photos are simply stunning and have captured all of the joy, emotion and laughter of each day. All of the guests at our wedding celebration loved Winston. He put everyone at ease with his unobtrusive style, including a camera shy bride and groom! We couldn’t recommend Winston highly enough.”

~ Helena & Ben
 

“Thank you so much Winston, words cannot express how happy and grateful we are to have had you at our wedding. Not only are you a lovely person but our photos are perfect, you really encapsulated what we wanted in our day. Half the time we forgot you were even there because of your creative ninja-like technique, you put not just us at ease but all of our guests too. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

~ Megan & Angus

 

“Winston is a brilliant photographer – and a really lovely person to have involved in your wedding day. We found Winston after searching for a photographer that was going to capture our laid back summer wedding as it happened without being ‘in the way’ or detracting from the day. From the first meeting with him at our venue we knew Winston was exactly who we had been looking for and he made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. He instantly understood the type of photos we wanted and on the day somehow was invisible while capturing every great moment perfectly. The final photos are better than anything we could have ever imagined and looking at them is like reliving the day all over again. We would 100% recommend Winston!”

~ Emma & Geoff

“Picking Winston as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. We had heard excellent things, and seen his beautiful pictures from previous weddings, but Winston still managed to surpass our expectations! Every dealing we had with Winston, from discussing our ideas and requirements before the wedding, to receiving the photos shortly after the wedding, was an absolute pleasure. We have had almost as many compliments about Winston himself as we have about the photos he took. He had the perfect balance of being unobtrusive, yet still managing to set up perfect shots, and get the guests to where they needed to be. Winston managed to beautifully capture our many different groups of friends and family, but did it quickly and efficiently, allowing us plenty of time to mingle with our guests, and plenty of time for some amazing couple shots that we will treasure forever. I really can’t recommend Winston enough for any event!”

“We’ve known Winston for years and he’s worked hard to become an absolutely fantastic photographer. There really was no doubt when it came to our engagement shoot and wedding, Winston was the only choice! Everything was immaculately organised, with every request taken on board and he made some great suggestions on shots and also the best order of photos on the big day. His enthusiasm for what he does shines through and puts everyone at ease. The results were fantastic and every bit what we’d hoped for, and more. Thanks Winston!”

“My wife and I were married in May 2016. After viewing the websites of many photographers, we chose Winston due to the professional layout of his website, the high quality of the content and previous positive reviews. We met up with Winston around a month prior to the wedding and we were extremely impressed with his relaxed style. We discussed what we wanted him to capture on the day and he was more than happy to accommodate our wishes. On the day itself Winston was fantastic. He put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy the day whilst still managing to capture those all important group and couple’s shots. Having now had access to our private online gallery as well as receiving our USB memory stick with the photos on, we are thrilled with his work. Winston managed to capture our day perfectly and he even stayed later than planned in the evening to take some more fun photos on the dance floor. Ruth and I cannot recommend Winston highly enough. If you are looking for a photographer for any occasion, look no further – Winston is your man.”

~ Ruth & Peter

“We cannot recommend Winston highly enough! He was fantastic from the relaxed first meeting right through to saying good bye to him as we left at the end of the wedding reception: Winston makes a point of staying to the end of the festivities and he was still on the dance floor capturing our guests antics as we left!!! Winston put everyone at ease and perfectly judged how much we all did (or did not!) want to be posed, as well has handling an unruly crowd with ease. He captured our wedding not only beautifully, but how we remember it: full of family, friends and laughter!”

~ Charlotte & George


 

“We first met Winston at a close friends wedding and once we did we were sure we wanted him to be at our wedding. We are absolutely over the moon with our wedding photos. Winston did a brilliant job and what we loved was how it felt like we had another guest who found time to take a series of stunning, emotional and not to mention fun photos that perfectly captured our day. A really great guy and we couldn’t recommend him enough to anyone. Thank you Winston, a truly great job!”

~ Sam and Lizzie



 

“Winston is the perfect complement to any ones wedding regardless of the size or venue, not only did he provide such a high level of professionalism, but his authentic kind nature and loving character give him the key ability to combine his work/passion for everyone else’s pleasure. A few things we loved about Winston other than his presence at our special day, was that he really did his homework on who was who, making both our family and guests feel more comfortable but also where exactly the best places in the venue would be to get those memorable pictures we all want to see from morning until evening. In fact he even took us to a hidden maze we wasn’t even aware of at our own venue.
It goes without saying that we would hands down recommend him to anyone we know seeking a fantastic photographer. Thanks again for completing our day and for making it so easy for us.”

~ Alice & Dan


 

“When it came time to choose our wedding photographer, Will and I loved the unobtrusive and relaxed photos in Winston’s portfolio. We were so happy to have the opportunity to get in touch and find out that Winston is still the incredibly friendly chap he always was from our university days in York. His brilliant personality was such an attribute on the day. During the chaos of wedding morning preparations, Winston made everyone feel totally relaxed. He was tactfully unobtrusive at the appropriate moments during the ceremony and managed to capture all the emotions of the day. And what a day it was. Winston and his fantastic girlfriend stayed until well after we had thought they would to snap some wonderful pictures of the band. All in all, we cannot imagine being any happier with the photos Winston took, but more than that, we were so happy that Winston and Rachael could share our day with us. Thank you!”

~ Lisa & Will


 


“Winston is a total legend! Not only were his photographs absolutely brilliant but he manages to strike the perfect balance between being unobtrusive and engaging. Our guests loved him! We cannot recommend him enough.”

~ Charlotte & Nick




 

“We were lucky enough to have many excellent recommendations when looking for suppliers for our wedding, but Winston was the best recommendation of them all! Not only is Winston a really nice guy – it was a genuine pleasure to have him at the wedding – but he’s also a fantastic photographer. The photographs he took literally could not be better, so far as we’re concerned. We didn’t want too many posed shots and his natural style captured absolutely perfectly all the love and laughter of the day. The group photo he did take of our whole wedding party is absolutely wonderful and perfectly captured the fun everyone was having. If you are still wondering who to book as your photographer stop wondering and book Winston immediately!”

~ Cathy & Chris




 


“We met Winston at a wedding in Poland and we were both guests. I don’t remember Winston taking any photos, but I was amazed at the photos he sneakily took of the couple. We shortly got engaged afterwards and instantly thought of Winston. Winston was professional throughout, we completed a brief on the photos we required and had a Skype call to talk through them. Winston went above and beyond at our wedding (in Cornwall) and arrived the night before to get a feel for the venue. On our wedding day he was there from 10am until after midnight. Winston’s strengths lie in taking natural photos and catching people at their best; we have some beautiful formal shots and some hilarious photos from later on in the evening which still make me laugh. We will treasure our photos forever and I can’t recommend Winston enough.”

~ Livia & Mike

“We are so happy to have hired Winston as our wedding photographer. He was always there to capture the right moments, with all their raw emotion, whilst remaining unobtrusive. #Photoninja. He’s also an ace individual and a very handsome addition to the wedding party… We’d have no hesitation recommending Winston to anyone. Thanks Dr Sanders.”

~ Chris & Russ

 


“Thank you so much to the amazing Winston Sanders for his wonderful photography skills. If you are planning a wedding, bar mitzvah or other event, he is the person to take your photos – fact!”

“Winston was superb! We wanted relaxed photos with only a few formal shots for our wedding, and Winston was perfect for us. He blended in with the wedding party fantastically & took amazing natural shots of our guests and us. We have had many lovely comments about our photos and how beautiful the moments were captured. We 100% recommend Winston. Thank you so much for all the wonderful photos.

~ Luanna & Callum

 

“Winston…..we just cannot say thank you enough! We were so thrilled when we found out you were free to photograph our wedding as we didn’t want anyone else but you to capture the memories of our special day. From the outset your professionalism and friendly nature put us completely at ease and your attention to detail shone through. The images you produced of the day were truly stunning. You have the ability to not only recognise the magical moments, but to capture them with such finesse. You were never intrusive but blended in with the wedding party with ease, even getting the picture shy bride to relax! We have so many fantastic photo’s which we will treasure forever and have received so many wonderful compliments from our friends and family regarding them. We cannot recommend you enough! Thanks again.”

~ Dom & Nic Beverton

 

“We’re so pleased Winston was our photographer! He completely understood that we didn’t want to spend much time away from our guests having our pictures taken, but still wanted amazing pictures! We barely knew he was there throughout the ceremony but he still seems to have taken some really good pictures. He breezed very calmly, but efficiently, through the group photos and took some really beautiful pictures of the two of us in hardly any time at all. We were really impressed with his calmness and professionalism and could t recommend him highly enough. He can even pull some moves on the dance-floor! I’ll definitely use him for my next wedding!”

~ Amelia & Angus Scott

 


“Winston was our wedding photographer in May 2012, and he was an essential part of a wonderful day. During the day, Winston was the perfect blend of friendly with the guests and yet still unobtrusive. He seemed to spend the day in just the right place at just the right moment. All our guests thought he was wonderful – a warm, friendly person who made the guests feel comfortable having their photographs taken, with the ability to fade into the background when he needed to. In short, the perfect wedding photographer. Finally, the results were simply wonderful – beautiful, high-quality photographs of a perfect day. We treasure our wedding photographs, and the memory of having Winston as our photographer. We cannot recommend him highly enough.”

~ Jack & Jill Sharples

 

“Winston is a professional yet friendly photographer, who we can’t speak highly enough of. His photos are natural, and captured many precious moments throughout our day. He was available from the very start, and got some great shots of me getting ready with my bridesmaids. Truely stunning, with a level of service that is hard to find, and definitely will never be forgotten.”

~ Georgina & Sam Irving

 

“Winston was the perfect wedding photographer. Relaxed but with stealth, he captured ‘staged’ as well as informal moments without being invasive or bossy. The outcome of his labour is our treasured wedding album that charts the whole day beautifully and artistically. We would recommend him highly.”

~ Laura & Mark Grayson

 

“We heard about Winston quite by chance from a friend and we were really pleased we did. A lovely relaxed man who captured a fantastic day brilliantly. He was clearly enjoying himself which we think transfers to the photographs. Thanks Winston.”

~ Andy & Amy Birch
