“Thanks so much for taking such creative and striking photos of my dress making business for me. They’ve come out beautifully! It was a pleasure to work with you, you really put me at ease during the shoot. Exceptionally happy with the photos 🙂 Thanks again!”

“I absolutely hate having my picture taken, but needed a new set of head shots for work. Chris did his utmost to make me comfortable and his calm and flexible approach really helped to relax me, which resulted in pictures that I’m really happy with.”

“Chris was brilliant to work with. He developed a fantastic, easy going rapport with the children which allowed him to capture them looking completely natural, whilst putting us both at ease. Combining this with endless patience and a great eye for light and setting, he gave us a wonderful set of pictures. We love them!”

“We asked Chris to take some photographs of our baby girl and loved the whole experience. Chris made me feel comfortable and knew exactly the style of pictures that I liked. I’m so glad we booked Chris and now have photos to last a lifetime!”

Really great photos! I can’t decide which ones to get! Thank you very much, they are perfect!

The pictures are great, these are really beautiful – I really love them. I’m going to send them out to our clients and it would be great to use them on social media to promote our shoots.

Photographs are so important. Once a child has grown up or a wedding day/christening day has ended all you are left with are the memories. I am so glad I called on Chris the last 2 years to capture those memories. I was looking for photos that were natural, tasteful and a bit different from the norm. Chris really delivered on this – he took on board what I was looking for and worked on my ideas to create beautiful shots. My pregnancy photos are stunning and I am so glad I did them. He was happy to find different locations and made each shoot effortless and was so patient and caring towards the children. He even did a second shoot because my son was teething during the first one. I have never managed to get the whole family in a shot and make it work, but Chris gave us photos that looked like they belonged in Hello magazine! He even managed to get the dog in too! When I look back through all the photos, I beam at how beautiful they are. I can’t thank Chris enough for not only the photographs, but also the service he delivered. I wouldn’t hesitate in using him again.

“Beautiful ‘school’ photos done. Chris saved the day after my daughter didn’t have school photos this year. Really pleased with them, thank you”

“5-star feedback! Everything in the lead up and on the day was perfect! 😊 It has been great meeting and working with you, and to know we can always rely on you for future events.”

“I really liked how patient Chris was with us especially with our little one (8 months old). Chris was so professional at handling our emotions at the time, we got so comfortable and he made it all worthwhile. I’m really happy with the pictures; it was a lovely experience for me and I would love to do it again!”

“My husband and I have two young children and realised we have no pictures of the four of us together. I saw Chris’ work and realised he was probably the man for the job – how right I was! Chris is easy-going, kind and great with kids, and I was relieved when I realised mid-photoshoot that my 3 yr old, despite being unwell, was responding to Chris and allowing himself to be photographed. We got some gorgeous photos in the golden hour, at an efficient pace, and I’m so proud of my little family whenever I look at the shots. Thanks so much, Chris. Would recommend you any day of the week!”

“We booked Chris at BrightRise Photography for our recent public event – a classic & retro themed car show and family fun day – and he was an absolute pleasure to work with, from quote stage till the photos came through. Chris was enthusiastic about the event and made a real effort to get to know our exhibitors and visitors – he not only shot the cars themselves beautifully, but also perfectly captured the whole ‘feel’ and spirit of the event. I couldn’t be more pleased with the photos and have already booked Chris for two more events. Highly recommended, both in terms of being a very talented photographer, and also a great person to have at any event.”

“Chris did our wedding photos this year and we would thoroughly recommend him. Chris put us at ease straight away and came over to discuss what we wanted and the plan for the day. The photos were stunning, so beautiful and it was a pleasure having Bright Rise do our photos ! Chris recently did a family festive photo shoot for us – he was as always friendly, welcoming, patient and so good with the kids. The print was beautiful, amazing quality and service – thank you so much!!!”

“Probably like most parents, we’ve struggled to get good shots of our kids that don’t involve a silly face. Chris has obviously a natural way with kids, we not only managed to get some great shots of them individually but even managed to get both of them together and they look great! Chris is a true artist at his craft and we will cherish the photo’s he took for a lifetime.”

“My husband and I had an amazing time doing a maternity bump shoot with Chris. We were so glad to have found Chris as our photographer for this special occasion. Not only does his work skills speak volumes but the way he engaged with us since the very beginning brought passion, commitment and high service, and did not hesitate to customise as per our needs. We were extremely pleased by his work and would love to consider again soon for baby photography. I would recommend Chris any day to my fellow colleagues in UK.”

“Chris took some great photos of the kids and us as a family. He was patient, supportive and encouraging with the children, enabling us to have some great photos. Thank you Chris”

“Chris is able to capture incredible ‘in the moment’ photos. This, along with the highly efficient, professional and personable service we received from ordering through to delivery, means that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend BrightRise Photography.”

“The photos were excellent, it was a great experience and the children found it fun.”
