Simply the Best! Patrick (Paddy) was exceptional both before and on our wedding day. he met with us prior to the wedding and visited the venues to get ideas for the photographs. On the wedding day he was with us early, we were so relaxed with him and his photography was outstanding, both formal and informal. he captured the day with the most beautiful photographs of us, the wedding party and the guests. He was also very flexible in his time spent with us and stayed an extra three hours, he seemed to be everywhere taking photographs which captured the atmosphere perfectly, with the formality, the love and the fun of the wedding. We were very lucky to have chosen Paddy and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

We decided to go with Patrick as our photographer based on a recommendation and could not be happier with the result! He understood our nature and captured it and our wedding perfectly from start to finish. Communication was easy and it was a pleasure having such an experienced professional there on the day. Our warmest recommendations for any occasion.

I’ve had the good fortune and pleasure of working with Paddy on a number of occasions. He is the consummate professional, his easy manner and client engagement skills are exemplary. As for his skill as a photographer in my opinion they’re legendary. He is an extremely gifted photographer, and a really nice guy. I highly recommend him and would use no one else.

Fabulous photos and a wonderful experience. Paddy went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and a range of shots. I was spoilt for choice for the final prints. I dread being in front of the camera and it normally shows... Paddy turned the shoot into fun! He really captured me. Thank you Paddy!

Pattie Pantall

I recently did a photoshoot with Patrick to update my model portfolio. He was professional, creative, supportive and easy to work with. I was over the moon with the results. I now have some first class images which I will be using to further my career. I hope to work with him again.

Paddy was fantastic and really put us at ease. He’s very polite and professional, and despite it being a very cold day (8th December), he worked with patience and clearly had lots of experience. We got our photos back within a week. Paddy was happy to resize a few for us as we wanted some made into a canvas.
Overall very happy and we would highly recommend!!

Lauren and Tom

What a find! Paddy turned out to be a gem - kind, thoughtful, happy to listen and fit in with what we wanted, blended seamlessly into the party and went about capturing the day without being intrusive. And what fantastic photos! Paddy has a real eye for a moment. Beautiful shots and interesting angles; arty and imaginative. Couldn’t be more pleased.

Jackie and John

The pictures are absolutely amazing, I’ve never seen pictures in quality like this! Thanks so much, you were absolutely brilliant on our wedding day!! We’ll be writing out to you guys soon, but in the meantime thanks again!

Rich & Natalie

I have represented Paddy for over 6 years and he has always delivered high end imagery to my clients with a professional manner and individual interpretation.

Peter Corbin  

Paddy always shows enthusiasm to our briefs and executes with individuality and quality image making.

David Wilson  

Paddy worked with me several times at The English National Ballet, including covering our performances at Latitude and Glastonbury festival. Paddy always managed to photograph the dancers performance with originality, while still managing to incorporate the specific nuances and precision of the art form.

Nicola Osmond-Evans

I have worked with Paddy as a stylist on several shoots and he always makes my job a lot easier with his clear ideas and direction. Working with Paddy is effortless and the final product always great and spot on the brief. He is incredibly professional and makes everyone in the team feel valuable and comfortable from models and assistants to the tech team and also, the client.

 Patrick took some images of Mark Watson which we used as the base for his tour posters and promo for his last tour in 2016/17. The images were the best of Mark that we've had for years. Patrick created a great working environment which meant Mark was totally relaxed (he is not normally that comfortable with photo shoots) and Patrick could get the best out of him. The resulting photographs were excellent - especially with some of the finishing that Patrick did afterwards - and we will definitely be asking him to photograph Mark again for the next tour! Highly recommend.

Lianne Coop - Mark Watson Management

Paddy was professional, friendly and supportive from start to finish! Produced both wonderful candids of the guests and hero shots. My family and I were absolutely thrilled when the photos came out, and the fact that you get all the photos instead of being forced to select just a handful felt really value-for-money. The price we paid was really fair for the quality of his photography as well - something we weren't able to find when we had other photographer interviews. Thanks Paddy!

Laura and Ed

Our photographer Paddy was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable during our wedding. He was very quick at responding to all our queries before the wedding ceremony. All the photos were delivered in a digital format very quickly after our wedding party. The pictures are beautiful! If we decide to have another photo session we would definitely contact Tunbridge Wells Studios again!

Vita and Samir

Paddy has been taking photographs of myself and Mike and the Mechanics for the last 10 years from album covers to live shots of the concerts for programmes and media/press use. 

His strength is that he always has an original idea of what to do or what to try. That originality and his endless ideas is what makes his work always so good and interesting - which is why it always stand out. It's nice to always get a call from our management saying they have the photos back and they look great.

Mike Rutherford - Mike + the Mechanics and Genesis

Paddy has been working with Tony Smith Personal Management for 10 years, providing quality album covers, live imagery and press photography for our acts, including Phil Collins and Mike + the Mechanics.

We always enjoy collaborating with him and developing new and creative ideas.

Add Paddy's natural charm and sense of humour with immense creativity and an unbelievable eye for detail, and you have the whole photography package. Whether hand-held photo-reportage or slick studio shoot, he’s a perfect all-rounder and I would never hesitate to work with him. Thoroughly recommended…

Paula O’Brien

Paddy is always my first choice when looking for a photographer to cover events. He understands our brand and exactly what we are looking for in terms of coverage. He delivers every time, with a super-fast turn around and quality images. Paddy’s relaxed and friendly manner makes him a real pleasure to work with.

 We have worked with Paddy on many events over recent years. His calm, professional manner and warm attention to our government stakeholders, along with clear  interpretation of the brief always results in engaging images that deliver coverage.
