Testimonials

From the moment we began planning our wedding, my husband was cautious about hiring a professional photographer, as he wasn’t a fan of being in front of the camera. However, after speaking with Smilin, he felt completely at ease. Smilin's approachable nature and willingness to address our concerns made all the difference, and we were both excited to move forward.To our surprise, Smilin even convinced us to have a pre-wedding shoot, something we were initially hesitant about. Looking back, we’re so grateful that we listened to him! The pre-wedding session allowed us to understand each other’s preferences and really set the tone for our big day. The photos were fantastic, and Smilin creatively turned them into a beautiful video clip for our reception, along with a guest book for our loved ones to leave their messages.We had three ceremonies to capture: our Indian Wedding, Civil Marriage, and Reception party. Smilin and his team excelled at making us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. They were calm, collected, and provided the right advice when needed.We wanted our photos to feel natural and candid, rather than forced, and that’s exactly what they delivered. Every detail was captured beautifully, and we now have an overwhelming amount of stunning footage and images to sift through for the final edit.We cannot recommend Smilin Occasionz enough! They were undoubtedly the perfect choice for us, and we’re so grateful for the amazing memories they created. Thank you, Smilin and team, for making our wedding unforgettable!

The pre-wedding shoot gave both us and Smilie a chance to get to know what we liked and what we didn’t like. The photos he took were great, and he utilised these by making a video clip for our reception, and also a guest book where our guests were able to write their messages for us. We had three ceremonies that needed to be captured, our Indian Wedding and Civil Marriage ceremonies and our Reception party. His team are great at making you feel at ease. They are calm and collected and advise you appropriately when needed. We both didn’t want our photos to feel forced, but just natural looking. And this is exactly what they achieved. They also captured every detail carefully. We have an enormous amount of footage and photos that we have to sift through for the final edit. And this has been a very difficult task as there are so many moments captured beautifully. We couldn’t recommend Smilin Occasionz enough. They were definitely the right choice for us!
