Happy Couples
His photographs speak for themselves! But what you can’t see is how wonderful Peter is behind the scenes. He was the most organized of all the vendors we worked with for our wedding (and more organized than we were!) This meant a Skype consultation beforehand to discuss all aspects of the wedding and working together to create a precise schedule for the portraits and other photos on the day of. He was such a calming presence, and his careful organizational process leading up to the wedding made us feel well-prepared and at ease.
In addition, Peter’s demeanor behind the camera made us feel very comfortable. Everything felt incredibly natural, because he gave us a series of actions for the shots that allowed us to move and interact like we normally do as a couple. No awkward staged poses here! Most of all, Peter’s continual positive reinforcement quelled any nervousness we felt, and allowed us to best express what we felt for one another on camera. We are beyond grateful to Peter for his artistry, and his gorgeous photos of our wedding, which will help us relive the magic of our special day every time we look at them.

Peter was one of the first suppliers we found and booked. The way he captures real, candid moments and doesn’t forget about the surrounding details and environment made us fall in love with his work within seconds. What we actually didn’t realise when we booked Peter is that we would also gain a good friend in the process.
We booked Peter in 2021 and didn’t get married until September 2023 so we had quite a bit of time to get to know him and wow, did he go above and beyond as a supplier. From sending us vegan chocolate for Christmas and a beautiful little sign that we used during our day to creating various playlists, and sharing tips for calming nerves etc.
Neither of us particularly revel in having our photos taken but throughout the process of both the pre-wedding shoot and our wedding day, Peter and his second shooter Emily both made us feel so relaxed, to the point where we could actually find the process enjoyable.
The morning of the wedding was made so special by the suppliers I had with me, Peter being one of them. They all created such a lovely, calm atmosphere and then throughout the day, Peter helped us to keep the day running smoothly (on top of taking the most sensational photos). At times, both Peter and Emily were so good at being discreet while working, I didn’t even realise they were there and yet the photos that have come back to us show they were right there in the thick of it all capturing so many amazing moments that we’re so grateful to have forever.
When you book Peter you’re getting way more than just beautiful, timeless photos. You’re getting a friend, supporter, advisor and probably the best hype man you will ever experience.
I don’t think we’ll ever stop looking at our gallery. Thank you for everything Peter!

It’s hard to capture the magic of Peter’s process in one review – but I’m going to try! We were immediately drawn in by his timeless, stunning and entirely unique portfolio of work on Instagram and the way he captures the essence of what makes each couple tick. He spoils you with thoughtful gifts at each step, very welcome bars of chocolate and beautiful tokens of his gratitude. We feel extremely blessed to have met Peter and experienced first hand the kind, funny and talented being that he is! From our first emails to our pre wedding photoshoot to the big day itself, his consistently calm and grounded approach brought us back to the joy and specialness of the whole process, whenever we needed it. He had us laughing our heads off at our pre wedding photoshoot, which I would highly recommend, especially if one or both of you aren’t totally comfortable in front of a camera! The end results were incredible and exactly what we wanted.
On the wedding day itself, both Peter and his wonderful second shooter expertly captured our unique wedding magic in ways that I couldn’t have anticipated. He was very open to my (slightly mad) coven-style bridesmaid photos, made us feel totally at ease whenever he was around, and was an integral part of what made the wedding feel so special. Plus the actual end result was so perfect that it blew us both away. We’re sending a few physical photos in with each of our thank you cards to share the joy, as everyone who’s seen the photos have been enthralled. We hope to make use of Peter’s phenomenal talent again at the next opportunity, for whatever milestone comes next! Thank you Peter for being you, and for the incredible work that you do. We couldn’t be more grateful, and feel so honoured to have your amazing photos to keep forever. If you’re looking for the kindest, most generous and insanely talented wedding photographer then you’re in the right place!!!
Honestly all of my words fall short at capturing the pure genius and joy that Peter and his process embody – but thankfully the photos speak for themselves!

Where to start with Peter Reynolds?!
From our first interaction via Instagram to the pre-wedding shoot to the wedding day, it was clear that choosing Peter as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made. He is the most lovely, genuine guy who put us right at ease from the get go – it was just like you were hanging out with a friend.
Not only are his photos edited so beautifully, he really gets to know you as a couple to ensure that the shots he takes are the ones you really want. Whether or not Peter would deliver was never in doubt – what is truly impressive is how he manages to capture things in such a way that transports you straight back to the day, with all the emotion that comes with it.
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU SO MUCH for being an absolute dream. We will cherish this gallery for years to come.

We’ve been eagerly planning what to say in our review for Peter probably since our first video call with him! Now that the moment is here, we’re struggling to articulate just how incredible he is. From that first call, he made us feel so valued and took the time to get to know us, our story, and make us feel like cherished friends. We chose to do a pre-wedding shoot to get used to being in front of the camera and also because we wanted some stunning pics! We had so much fun with Peter and we went from feeling slightly nervous to belly laughing and having such a fabulous time. It’s such a small thing, but even Peter’s emails put huge smiles on our faces when they appeared in our inbox. He’s so enthusiastic and when you’re in the thick of wedding planning, it’s so refreshing to have a supplier who is just as excited as you are. When it came to the day itself, having Peter taking pictures was like having another friend there to calm the nerves and make us laugh. Our family can’t stop talking about how much they loved him! Our pictures are so incredible and we can’t stop looking at them! If you’re considering Peter for your wedding photographer, you simply need to book him. You will never regret hiring the best of the best because your pictures will last a lifetime and Peter is worth every penny. We could go on forever and ever about how amazing he is but the review would get a tad long! Thank you so much Peter for making our wedding and the planning process the best it could be. I’m sure we will find an excuse to have another little photoshoot some time in the future!!

So it’s review time, and this is tough because do words even exist that could adequately describe Peter’s work? It’s unlikely, but we will give it a shot.
So when we began planning, the now Husband and I were keen on keeping those costs low, but agreed that, being our wedding day, we could pick one thing each that we wouldn’t question costs with. Husband picked hog roast (why wouldn’t you, it’s amazing) and I picked Peter!
Photographers are a huge expense, but I won’t rant as to why that is (they deserve it all, trust me), I’ll just say, photos are the one thing that you take from that day which does not get overlooked or forgotten about. Your photographs are your memories, it’s what you show off, hang on the wall and post on all social media accounts – they are worth the investment.
Why Peter, well, all my recollections of weddings I’ve attended have the awkward thirty minutes of; “okay, stand here, smile, now the next group shot”. Meaning achey jaws, awkward, staged photos, with irritable guests, because we all just want to start the food, mingling and drinking! The photos just aren’t REAL. Plus, who actually enjoys having their photo taken?!
Peters work and work ethic is exceptional, he has emailed regularly throughout the planning, even helping find a venue when our first choice fell through! He’s always on hand to offer his knowledge and advice, and to remind you to be kind to yourself! A couple of weeks before the wedding, he even sent a date night pack to pick a movie, with some popcorn! (Ps, tip, the earlier you book, the more Christmas presents he sends you).
I think the thing that separates Peter from the rest has to be his very evident love for his work, and it’s something that is demonstrated in every single photo!
You’ll see a lot of reviews referring to Peter as a friend, not just their photographer – and it’s all true! I’m not entirely sure how he does it, but from the moment you send that welcome message, he’s invested, he’s in and he’s there! He cares and that’s so important as your wedding day only happens once (hopefully, that’s the goal, right!)
I know I haven’t actually spoken much about the photos, but is there any need, it’s why you’re here reading this isn’t it? You can see for yourself his work is exceptional. After receiving our photos, he asked us if we had any favourites (yes, you’re stuck with him after the wedding too, I wasn’t lying about making a friend for life!). We don’t, how can we, every single image is so naturally taken, raw, straight up capturing the emotion of that exact moment. We couldn’t pick a photo, because they aren’t photos, every image is a little emotional time-warp!
Peters work is exactly what we envisioned, natural grabs of the day that truly captured the emotion, story and essence of that moment in time, and that’s exactly what we wanted.
To say we are ecstatic with our photos would do Peter & Lindsay an injustice, but I hope that my rambling has captured at least some of the reasons that you shouldn’t hesitate and book!

Peter was one of the very first suppliers we booked for our wedding day at The Old Kent Barn and we are so thankful that we did! From our first phone call, we knew Peter was the perfect fit for us. Peter has such a kind heart and as many of his reviews point out, he really does become a friend throughout your wedding planning – his emails will brighten your day, he regularly checks in, he’s there to offer advice and you will receive thoughtful packages in the post from Peter throughout your wedding planning – they’ll arrive when you need them most!
We had a pre-wedding photoshoot a few months prior to our wedding day and both felt instantly at ease with Peter, which is something that we never thought would be possible with a photographer given how awkward we usually feel in front of a camera! Within minutes, Peter had us relaxed, laughing, and completely forgetting there was even a camera involved. It felt more like spending the afternoon with a good friend and his photos captured that afternoon beautifully.
Fast forward to our wedding day, and Peter truly captured the magic. Looking through our gallery, we’ve been completely overwhelmed in the best possible way. Each photo tells a story, every emotion has been so beautifully and authentically captured, and you can feel the happiness of the day in every photo. We’ve found ourselves laughing, crying, and reliving our wedding day all over again. We honestly can’t even narrow down which photos to frame around the house – we love them all! Our family members have even started to suggest we create a personalised wallpaper with all of Peter’s photos since it’s just so hard to choose between them!
Peter, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You’ve given us the most priceless gift – the ability to relive our favourite day over and over through your lens. Your warmth, professionalism, and insane talent have left us in total awe. We couldn’t have imagined our day without you.
If you’re lucky enough to be considering Peter as your photographer – book him now! You will not regret it.

We first made contact with Peter by chance. Due to postponing our wedding like many others, our booked photographer could no longer photograph our wedding. He suggested Peter as he was a friend and had a relaxed vibe with an amazing reputation. We were already thrown into wedding uncertainty so thought we should just take the gamble and trust he would be a good match for us. We could not have felt happier and luckier to have such an amazing guy at our wedding!!!
From the moment we had the initial chat we knew we had landed an absolute gem. Warm, kind, enthusiastic – we came off the phone completely hyped about a wedding that we were so unsure was going to actually happen. It felt like we had known Peter for years and we were just catching up. We started getting excited and it was genuinely all down to Peter’s positivity!!
We said we didn’t want to do the pre-wedding shoot as it wasn’t really “us” – but after speaking with Peter and him explain how much it would benefit the shots on the actual day, we agreed, and I’m so happy we did. It was honestly one of the best days! It was so nice to meet up finally that at times we forgot what we were actually there for! Just so much fun playing around with movements, getting to know each other with a couple of drinks – the lighting and location were amazing and we ended up laughing for 2 hours straight! We went home on such a high and so excited for the big day!
In the lead up to the wedding Peter was in constant communication, offering help and any support. He is so professional and yet is so compassionate and caring – he makes you feel like your wedding is the only one he is focused on (I know he has TONS of course!!) – it made us feel so special.
The extra touches Peter gives are incredible. The movie night package, Christmas gift and the presentation of the pictures – all so beautiful!! He really is so thoughtful and it was so appreciated.
On the actual wedding day he was amazing – so helpful when I was getting ready and also made time to tell my groom, Joel, that I was in fact on my way after not turning up for 30 mins(!) – Peter went above and beyond and it meant so much to Joel to have that reassurance.
The actual photos – just wow. Everyone says they are the best they have ever seen and captured the day perfectly!! He made sure we still got time with all of our guests as well as getting those incredible photos that we are utterly obsessed with! Our house is now a shrine to Peters incredible talent!!
I cannot thank Peter enough for being such an important part of our day – he really made it so fun and relaxed and we genuinely have a friend for life. He gets to know you as a couple to tailor your whole journey and I think that’s what makes him so unbelievable at his job.
I would recommend Peter to anyone – I have given Peter’s number to everyone I know – engaged or yet to be!!
Peter we love you!!!
