"I have been sitting on the 'testimonial' for a while as I just could not think of the right words to describe you and the most amazing gift you have given us. A perfectly photographed day in history - our wedding day.

The arrival in my inbox of your email to view the photos came at no better time as Dale had just left for a month away working. My heart completely melted on just 'seeing' the first photo! I did cry...but they were tears of absolute happiness. You had brought back to me, in such beautiful clarity, our wedding day. On the first viewing of the photos, I was so stunned by the beauty that I actually wanted to have 'this girl's' wedding day - it looked perfect and flawless. I looked amazing and my husband looked so handsome (I wanted to marry him again). You captured our smiles, our quirks but most importantly, you captured our love. We couldn't have asked for more.

You didn't only make Dale and I so amazingly happy, our family and friends were made so comfortable by you it shows in every one of the photos. A 'real' smile is rare to photograph but you caught them - thank you.

The feeling I get in knowing I will have these photos for the rest of my life makes me so unbelivably happy - you wouldn't believe.

I still don't feel these words really portray my true feelings about these photos...how to explain something so amazing and beyond your dreams - it's impossible.

So dear Ant, you are not only a Class A photographer and an amazing man - you are also a legend.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Mr & Mrs Nelson :)"

"I would just like to thank you for our beautiful wedding photos and DVD slideshow!!!! They both are just so beautiful! I have looked over them so many times now (I have lost count) and just can't get over how brilliant they are, the way you captured us, our guests, the colours in the photos!

I can honestly say that from all the photos, they are ALL brilliant! I find it amazing how all the photos are great, as I have never before had so many photos taken of myself and they all look great! The DVD slideshow is so beautifully done! A large number of people I have showed this too have cried because it is so beautiful!, the ones that didn't cry (mainly men) commented how awesome it is! It is so wonderful to re-live the whole day again through the photos and slideshow, as the day went so quickly and seemed so surreal at the time.

The thought of planning/organising my wedding was a VERY VERY daunting task. I didn't really know where to start when it came to anything e.g. venue, photographer etc. I found the best way to do anything is to go by word of mouth/peoples opinions in the first instance and then your own gut feeling after that. You came very highly recommended from various people at my work. When I met you, I found you to be a easy-going and lovely person who was professional and passionate about their work. After seeing some photos and a DVD slideshow which I thought were beautiful, I decided you were the perfect person for the job.

You turned up on the day with your positive lovely manner which put me at ease. Your guidance and help with the posed photos was great (as I am not very good at posing – you are brilliant at posing I must say!). And you snapping those photos I didn't even know you were taking look brilliant!

Getting the photos on our return from our honeymoon was just awesome and my various email queries e.g. getting a high resolution disc etc. were answered very promptly, professionally and kindly.

I would strongly recommend you to anyone looking for a photographer (I already have actually!).

Overall this was a brilliant experience for us! I feel so happy looking at the photos and watching the DVD slideshow! You truly captured our day!

I know that Joe and I and our future generations will have many happy years of looking at the photos and DVD slideshow.

Thanks again! We think you are truly brilliant!

From Laura Scarlett (& Joe Scarlett). "

Out of the blue this lovely testimonial popped into our inbox. We just had to include it!

"Dear Anthony,
I am Laura Scarlett's  mother. Ii just wanted to thank you for the wonderful photographs and slideshow of Laura and Joe's wedding.
I have sent them to my family and friends all over the world.
Comments are "Who was the photographer? The photographs are amazing!  Very creative! What a collection of beautiful photos!  Stunning!  So many fabulous photos. The photographer certainly captured the happiness of the day."

The black and white  photographs you took of my husband's two brothers were exquisite. I am sure they would win a prize for character study. Their faces tell a thousand stories. I appreciate having such a variety of superb photos to choose from to display.  I know many people have played the slideshow over and over from Facebook.
I have had great pleasure from making up two albums using your professional photos and those taken by friends.

A precious record of our darling daughter's wedding day. You have a wonderful  talent and I will certainly recommend you as the opportunity arises.

With Kind Regards
Pauline Kau Kau =)"

"When the honeymoon is over, the bills are paid, and the dress has been dry-cleaned, post-wedding reality kicks in. The magic of the day goes so quickly, and it is so easy for your wedding to become a slightly hazy memory of the past. Anthony at Snap photography provides the magic key to help keep those memories alive.

No matter what your budget is, the only real lasting memories of your wedding day (aside from the ring, and the spouse, that is) are your photographs. The work that Anthony puts in to making your shots look fabulous really stands him apart from others, for him, the work does not end with the last shot of the day. The effort is continued through to amazing post-production work that will make your photos look individual and incredible.

If you are looking for token stilted photographs with no life to them, then Uncle Bruce with his $200 digital snapper will do that just fine. If you want stunning photos that transport you back to your special day, photos that seem to live and breathe, photos that make people stand back and say Wow!, then you need Anthony.

We were so staggered with the vast array of shots that Anthony was able to create. Not only was he fun and easy to work with, but each picture seemed to have its own story to it. Watching the DVD slideshow made the both of us tear up – the magic of the day was captured so beautifully, and we were transported back.

We cannot recommend Anthony enough, he was so eager to help, and all the little touches helped to make our day exceptional. He made sure everything went beautifully and smoothly. Thank you so much for everything!"

Our wedding was very hectic because we were trying to organise it from overseas. I had fallen pregnant 8 weeks before our wedding day so on the day I was struggling with both the changes in my body and the heat. Anthony was brilliant and he made all of us girls feel fantastic. Prior the day he sourced places for pictures around the area and the end result was amazing. He did everything we asked and more.

We had to speak to Anthony a lot via emails and this worked fantastically. Anthony visited the venue the day before and discussed places for photos. This was excellent as it took the stress of Jonathon and myself and we felt like all we had worry about was us and our bridal party.

The venue that we choose was amazing and Anthony captured the beauty of the venue and the happiness of the day. We are so happy and the day was amazing.

Thank you Anthony for capturing our fantastic day it was such a special day and everything went perfectly.

Anthony has a patients and understands how weddings work he helped organise us which was exactly what you need when you have so many people talking to you and so much going on your feet don’t touch the ground.

It was a fantastic day that Jonathon and I will always remember thanks to our wonderful photos.

Our experience with Anthony and SNAP! Photography was easy and the service was fantastic. Your service was above award winning we both really enjoyed it. Thank you Anthony and the SNAP photography team.

Tracey & Scott

"Good morning Anthony,

The images have turned out great. You have obviously understood what we wanted and have fulfilled the brief remarkably well. There are some standout images amongst them and you have done a brilliant job of capturing the moments in an artistic, theatrical and almost cinematic style. The images have turned out particularly well considering the difficult circumstances of weather and timeframe. As you know with weddings, things can be so hectic that you struggle at times to even recall the events of the day and all you have to keep are the photographic records. These images will certainly serve as a beautiful reminder to us for many years to come. The photographs have received great response from everyone that has seen them so far, my mother even cried with emotion when she saw them. It was great working with you and we appreciate all the effort you put in for us both prior to the event and on the day.

We really appreciate everything, thanks so much again.

Scott Downes"

"Dear Anthony and Sarah

We would like to thank you very much for the absolutely amazing job that you did of our wedding photographs. They are stunning and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. We just love how you captured the relaxed and fun day that we had.

With all of our friends and family scattered throughout the world it has been fantastic for them to be able to see the photos on Facebook and on your website as if they were there with us on the day. Everyone has commented on how amazing the photos are and that they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen.

It was quite a daunting task to choose a wedding photographer over the internet, with us being based in Scotland and our wedding taking place at home in New Zealand. We feel very lucky to have stumbled across you and we are so glad that we chose to have you as our wedding photographer. We instantly got a good vibe from you, you really put us at ease and we felt that you were on the same page as us with the look that we wanted for our photos.

You made the on location photo shoot a really fun and relaxed experience and really put a camera-phobic bride at ease.

It was really nice to have you and Sarah there to share our special day with us. We feel like you fitted in with our friends and family like you were one of our wedding guests.

We also really appreciate how hard you must have worked to get the photos ready for us so quickly so we could take them back to the UK.

We wish you all the best for the future and would definitely recommend you to anyone.

Best wishes,

Jayden and Dana"

"Dear Anthony and Sarah

When we first met to look at photo locations for the Big Day your enthusiasim really got us excited!

We loved that you were so open to all our ideas and we were happy for you to explore and find some great spots for our wedding photos. The day went realy well and we were very relaxed and felt we were in good hands. When we recieved the photos we were both amazed at the quality! We have had some large prints made and also a canvas, all came out fantastic and we were very impressed with the quality and how they looked. I would recomend you to anyone, we really enjoyed the time spent with you on our special day.

Thank you again

"Dear Anthony – Snap Photography.

All we could say was WOW when we first looked at the DVD of our photos online (it brought a tear to a lot of people’s eye).

Not only are the photos absolutely awesome but Anthony’s ability to link them together to tell the story of our day was magical. Every time I watch it I get to re-live all the beautiful parts of our day.

We have so many great photos with a variety of arty, traditional and funky shots that it is hard to find room to display them all. Anthony’s eye for detail is incredible, he would find the perfect place, angle and lighting every time.

Not only are the final photos amazing but it was a pleasure working with Anthony and Sarah before, during and after our wedding. Their fun and friendly approach put all the bridle party at ease while off on the photo session. Anthony was constantly snapping away but made us all feel very relaxed will doing so. In fact so relaxed he was the one who had to tell us it was time to get back to our guests!

We have nothing but great feed back about Anthony and Sarah from the day. They blended in with the crowd well and managed to get a photo of almost all our guests, mostly with out them even knowing.

Thank you Snap Photography for being a pleasure to deal with and delivering a top quality service and product.

Craig and Heidi Sowman."

Andrea and Todd

"Just a little note to say a massive thank you for our wedding photos. The album is absolutely amazing, it far exceeded our expectations. All our friends that have seen the photo's have commented on the quality and the detailed way in which you have laid out the album. It captures the essence of the day perfectly.

We like the mix of formal photo's versus the candid shots taken of the guests enjoying the day. It was always going to be a challenge dealing with Todd who hates having his photo taken. Your relaxed but professional manner made everyone feel at ease, even Todd!

We would highly recommend you to any potential clients. With the level of quality and detail that has gone in to our photo's and album we are sure that there will be many more satisfied clients to come."

Arna and Jamie

"Just a quick email to say a big thanks for the fantastic service you provided for our wedding. The photos are incredible and all of our friends have commented on how amazing they are. The photos you took really told a story of the day and we are both so pleased we chose you as our photographer. Please feel free to pass this email on to anyone you like and we would be happy to recommend you to anyone. Thank You again,"
