    Totally professional, enjoyable and picture perfect!

    Photographs capturing our wedding day, family and friends = priceless!
    Sarah you are amazing.
    We were both not looking forward to being pictured but we barely knew you were there and helped us relax & feel at ease for all the important pictures with our wedding party.
    Eternally grateful for all the moments you captured.
    Our album is beautiful. All the fine details and unexpected surprises made the lead up to our wedding and the blues after all the more enjoyable.
    A time in our lives we will never forget and have the beautiful photographs to remind us.
    You really are a professional 💯 💫
    Great value and amazing quality.
    Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Photography was always one of the important parts of the wedding for me, and thanks to Kristeen and Sarah my husband now agrees. From the first meeting I felt at ease with them and it was a joy to have them with us on our day. They recommended an engagement shoot and it was well worth it, I love those photos and learned to relax and trust them and by the time the wedding came they felt like friends and was lovely to have them with us. Many of our guests commented on how friendly they were. There was a Pinterest photo I'd seen with sparklers and despite not having done that type of photo before they were up for trying and practiced before which was really appreciated. They captured so many moments from our day that I missed or might have forgotten. I love our photos and only wish I could have them all on display! These ladies are lovely and talented and one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding.

    Sarah & Kristeen at Fotomaki photography really were the perfect addition to our day.
    Having searched for some time for the right photographers, we were so happy with them from the first point of contact through to the final album delivery. They were so warm and friendly, putting us and our guests at ease. We had lots of fun with them on the day and the final photos were amazing - they captured so many special moments.

    I have used Fotomaki Photograhy for many occasions in my work and personal life. These two girls make taking photographs a joyful and exciting experience. Their friendly at attitude puts you at ease if, like me, you dont feel so comfortable being in front of a camera! The pictures I received went beyond my expectations and I will be working with them again in the near future.

    Keep up the good work Sarah & Kristeen

    I couldn't have hoped for a better photographer.

    Neither me or my husband are really the ''posey' sort when it comes to photos but Sarah put us both at ease, listened to what we wanted and in doing so got some fantastic, really natural looking shots at our wedding reception.

    After the do Sarah put together a great photobook of the event which I know we'll love looking back on.

    I really can't recommend photomaki enough

    I asked Fotomaki for a photoshoot of pics of my nephews as an anniversary gift to my parents. It was a huge success, they really put the kids at ease and the photos were great! One of the things we loved was that Fotomaki came to us so the kids were somewhere familiar making it easier for them to relax!

    I asked Fotomaki to take photos at our wedding reception in the evening. I didn't want anything too formal so just asked them to take some photos throughout the night and just left Sarah and Kristeen to their own devices. The resulting photos were great. They really captured the mood of the evening. I was a bit worried as the venue was indoors and very dark (The Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh) but all the pictures were very professional. What a great reminder of an excellent day. Would definitely recommend Fotomaki to anyone else requiring wedding or other event photography. Very reasonable rates!

    Fotomaki Photography are polite, professional individuals who strive to make the customer happy. I have worked with the pair several times and will continue to do so.

    I approached Fotomaki to take my product and styling shots for my company Thunder Road. The results were clean and professional looking and I recieved a CD of my images.
    Any problems or edits I needed they provided in a jiff.

    I would highly reccomend Fotomaki for a wedding or special event.

    Lovely girls who enjoy what they do.

    Fotomaki photography took photos of my nephews for me, no mean feat as they are aged from 4-12 and very boisterous. Both Sarah and Kristeen were very professional and helpful, even suggesting a very nice setting for the photos to be taken.
    Before meeting Sarah and Kristeen I was a bit apprehensive as I thought the boys might be bored and not want to have photos taken. I could not have been more wrong as they loved having their photos taken because the photographers were patient and as we were in a park they got to run around and be themselves, very natural, no formal posing, which is what I wanted.
    I am really pleased with the results and will be using their services again

    After contacting Fotomaki photograpy by email we received a quick respose and had a shoot arranged at our place of choice within a few days. We are a family of four with two dogs who like walking and the outdoors and wanted this reflected in our portraits. The resulting photos were stunning and natural which was very important to us. My husband, not a keen subject was put at ease straight away by our friendly bubbly photographers. I would hghly recoommend this company for fast efficient service, and their ability bring out the best in peole without you even knowing!

    We had a family photography session with our 18 month old son. Sarah and Kristeen came to our home and did the whole session there. They were professional throughout and accommodated our toddlers tantrums. We got some lovely family photos, despite his grumpiness that day! Highly recommended, great value for money, prompt and professional service.
