Highly Recommended
A special thank you to Kim and Martin for being amazing photographers for our wedding at Slaters Country Inn on the 7th September. We could not be happier with all the beautiful memories that were captured. Kim went above and beyond for us and ensured that we got some extra special outstanding shots. We were very impressed with her professional friendly manner and her time and people management skills to get everybody into position for the group shots. It has been a pleasure to have Kim capture our wedding and we would recommend her services to everybody 😄

your enthusiasm and expertise was second to none!
We have recently chosen our album and WOW!! Thank you so much Kim Shaw for capturing the most amazing collection of photographs we could ever have wished for! You not only captured our every emotion, but you have also captured every single moment of our magical day. Each time we look through our photo’s all of our memories come flooding back and make us grin from ear to ear! Our wedding day was just perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a warmer hearted and professional photographer. Kim Shaw you are an amazing person and we cannot thank you enough! From the beginning to the end of our day, your enthusiasm and expertise was second to none! Your focus was entirely on us for the whole day to ensure you captured the most perfect photos and we can honestly say that all of your hard work and determination paid off! We would also like to say a big thank you to Martin, who was our second photographer within the package that Kim provided for us. You were absolutely brilliant as a team and worked together extremely well. Martin also captured some beautiful memories and his patience with all of the children was fantastic! You were both absolute treasures which contributed to making our day perfect in every way. We truly love our collection of photographs and memories and will cherish them forever. We would recommend anyone looking for an enthusiastic, warm hearted, reliable and professional photographer - to hire Kim Shaw! Thank you Kim, Much Love Rich & Sarah Foden

I couldn’t recommend anyone better than Kim!
We booked Kim because we had a chat to her at a wedding fair and we instantly felt 100% comfortable with her which was the number one thing we were looking for in a photographer (as the idea of all eyes on us was daunting)! The whole process with Kim was so easy, we showed her what styles of photographs we liked and what group photos we wanted. We loved her photography style because she can do the traditional style photographs with family but then also the fun ones too. When the day of the wedding came I don’t know what we would of done without her! She kept us to the schedule so we didn’t miss out on anything (time flys!!) She also helped me into my dress and really helped not only me to be calm but everyone who was with me too. During the day Kim made it effortless, everything we asked for, we got. When our photographs were ready to view Kim sent us the link se we could see them and we absolutely loved them! They the perfect mix of timeless traditional and fun, modern style. The album we chose is really high quality and shows the pictures perfectly. If you want someone who will not only take amazing photos but also look after you and add that personal touch then I couldn’t recommend anyone better than Kim!

We can’t recommend her enough.
We couldn’t thank Kim enough for being our wedding photographer on our special day. Her professional yet personal manner set our nerves at ease and we are delighted with our photographs, which truly capture the memories and essence of the day, we can’t recommend her enough.

'we were treated with respect and professionalism'
After months of searching we decided upon Kim Shaw as our wedding photographer and on the day we could not have been happier with our decision. Kim was there to capture our day from the very beginning; including bridal preparations and never faltering with her microscopic attention to detail. An added surprise on the day came in the form of Martin; a wonderful second photographer who attended the house my husband was getting ready at. These photos are priceless as they create a fluent story through our day and gave us each an insight into the hours leading up to the wedding. Throughout our day Kim played many different roles; she seamlessly organised people into positions for photos, played master of ceremonies when required and continuously perfected dresses, suits and hair for all of the bridal party and guests to ensure they looked their best throughout the wedding. She continuously went above and beyond what was expected of her as a photographer, never being afraid of getting down in the mud or up high for the perfect photograph. During the course of our experience with Kim we were treated with respect and professionalism, ensuring that all our questions were dealt with efficiently and never made to feel like anything was a bother. Having a catalogue of images to view which included many different styles of photography however some of our favourites have to be our candid images, her ability to capture raw emotion is nothing less than artistic. We continue to have wonderful compliments about our photos and we are so proud to show them off. By the end of our journey it no longer felt like we were treated as customers but rather as friends.

All of the images are perfect
We made the perfect choice having Kim Shaw Photography for our wedding day. After our first meeting we were 100% sure that we wanted Kim to be a part of our day. We felt comfortable, relaxed and fell in love with the sample albums that she showed us. All of the images are perfect and our photo album is stunning, Kim helped to choose the final images as we just couldn’t decide, and we couldn’t be happier. Our family and friends gave so many compliments, and some said it’s the best wedding album they have ever seen. Alex & I would like to say a huge thank you for all the hard work and effort on the day to get us so many beautiful pictures, despite the rain. You really did go above and beyond to get us the photos we wanted, as well as making us, and our guests feel comfortable. The whole day was enjoyable and fun. We loved every minute. We will be sure to recommend to anyone looking for a photographer and we will be back for photos in the future. Love from Amy & Alex xx

the pictures captured every part ofour magical day
Kim Shaw is an amazing photographer! She shot our wedding back in March and she was amazing!! Nothing was too much trouble and I felt at ease all day with her taking our photographs! When we went to pick up our album we re-lived the day all over again as the pictures captured every part of our magical day. It was so hard to pick the album pictures as they were all so good. This lady is amazing and I would highly recommend her to everyone.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

All weddings have their memorable moments as each wedding is unique, but the most memorable location for a wedding was the Churnet Valley Railway. The couple got married in the station office then the bride, groom and their guests were served their meal on a steam train whilst travelling through the beautiful Staffordshire countryside. The evening reception was held in a marquee at Consall Station and the evening guests arrived at the reception on a steam train .....!!! It was just a fabulous, different wedding.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Beautiful, Stylish, Classical yet Modern, Natural, Fun

What about your business are you most proud of?

The fact that my clients, their family and friends love what I do and tell others.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Don't leave things until the last minute. To avoid disappointment book your suppliers in plenty of time as if you don't then someone else will.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

The bride and groom had green apples that doubled up as wedding favours and place named as they added a card leaf to the stalk with names on them. The reason for the apples was two fold, their colour scheme was shades of green and they were both teachers so it was an 'apple for the teacher'.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I love to meet up with potential clients to get to know them a little, to hear about their plans and requirements for their special day and also for them to get to know me a little too (as booking a wedding photographer is as much about liking and getting on with them as a person as it is about their photographs). I show some sample albums and leave them alone to have a discussion. I then return to answer any questions they may have.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

If you are still lucky enough to have your grandparents, then make sure you have a photo with them. Also your parents, make sure you have a photo with them individually and together. You will not realise the significance of these photos until way after your wedding day has past.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

.... you really don't want to know ... lol !!!!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

You can never tell what the weather is going to be like on your wedding day until you get up in the morning and look out of the window! If it rains the first thing is not to worry as if you have hired a professional photographer to shoot your wedding you will get some great shots. Bring your wellies and your smiles and leave the rest to the professionals you will be amazed what we can do in the rain :)

Describe how you got into photography.

My love of actual photographs goes back a long long way but I became a wedding photographer by a very happy accident and I am so glad I did as it's the best job in the world and I love love love it !
