Cancellation from Photographer and Response

I unfortunately did not have the pleasure of having Mr. Ramsden be our photographer. We initially signed a contract and had the deposit paid; however, he was unfortunately unable to fulfill the role. However, he went above and beyond and offered MANY other options for the same date and paid the difference of cost for the new photographer. He was prompt and understanding of the last minute changes and I really feel he really went above and beyond his duties as a small business owner to go about this. I hope he finds success in his future.

I've never had more fun taking photos!

Seriously cannot speak enough about these two. They went above and beyond for us, from helping our grandparents get around, fixing dresses, and even fetching food and drinks for us. But more than that we thoroughly enjoyed the time with them-- they were a delight and it was more like hanging with friends for a few hours while taking photos than with a photographer. Made us feel very comfortable and frankly made the day that much more enjoyable. Haven't seen the final shots yet but I know they'll be great!

Absolutely amazing!!

Stephen did an absolute amazing job! Everything I said I loved, he showed a little extra attention to which made for some of my all time favorite pictures. He is such a blast to work with and so laid back. His eye for detail was so appreciative because your day goes by so quick, you miss so much. It was such a blast going through the photos in timeline order and seeing EVERYTHING!! I even got compliments from the guests about how amazing my photographer was. I knew I needed to go with the best and am so happy I did! He got moments that I will cherish for the rest of my life! I mean my favorite photo looks like it should be in Vogue😍😍

Amazing experience!

Stephen is an absolute professional. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and make sure he knew what we wanted. His experience was readily apparent when he performed like a coach and orchestrator. He didn’t just know how to photograph, but knew where to be and when to capture our special moments perfectly. Stephen regularly went above and beyond to make sure we were happy.

Stunning and Seamless

I would (and have) recommend Ramsden Photography to anyone I know looking for a photographer for any occasion. Stephen did both our engagement and wedding photos and my husband and I could not be more pleased with the way Stephen captured our day. He made us feel so comfortable behind the camera, and took unique shots that were genuinely candid and not posed or artificial. He went above and beyond by preplanning locations for shots that he thought would be perfect for our day, and that showed us his genuine care, intentionality, and passion for photography and the impact it has on others! I could not have asked for more!

Unique & beautifully styled photography

We were so excited to book Stephen for our wedding - his style is gorgeously moody. I was looking for something unique from the typical light and airy wedding photos. Stephen made us all feel comfortable and delivered amazing shots of our wedding day.
