We hired Pete (all the way from NY) to capture our 25th anniversary (in the Cotswolds) with our adult children, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! He was so easy to communicate with, albeit with different time zones, as well as currency exchange. From start to finish, he made the experience so enjoyable and stress-free. Pete was professional, friendly, and incredibly talented at making everyone relax in front of the camera! The photos turned out absolutely stunning—perfectly capturing the love, laughter, and joy of the day. We’ll cherish these memories forever, thanks Pete for your amazing work & the quick turnaround. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled photographer who truly cares about their clients and the moments they capture!!

Peter is absolutely outstanding at what he does. I won a photoshoot and am so glad I did. I took along my partner, two young boys, my two nans and my dog....well they say don't work with children and animals because they can be somewhat temperamental. This was true for my dog and youngest who didn't really want to participate however Peter took it all in his stride. He was patient and couldn't have been more accommodating to my requirements. My eldest took to the camera like a duck to water. I was so worried that when I went to view the photos that they would be top heavy of my eldest but this was far from the case. Sooo many beautiful memories captured of all the family and made it incredibly difficult to choose. My nans both walked in stating that they don't take a nice photo but even they were heard saying 'oh I don't look too bad in that one, oh that's a nice one of me' and trust me when I say they can be a tough crowd lol. There was no pressure at all to purchase anything but when the photos are as fantastic as they were I couldn't walk away with nothing. I would 100% recommend Paredes photography to anyone looking for a relaxed, enjoyable shoot to capture beautiful memories. I haven't yet finished paying off my photos so cannot add one, however when I can I will!

We had a lovely family experience with Pete. I can't recommend him enough! He made the whole process, from booking to shooting and viewing, so easy and fun for us. I was a bit nervous, firstly because I don't really like to be photographed and then I had a 6 months old, who barely sits and gets tired or bored quickly. Also, we wanted an outdoor shooting and the weather wasn't very promising. But in the end it all turned out so well. The rain stopped for a while, my baby was all smiles and Pete took the most beautiful pictures of us. Pete also made the Zoom viewing appointment easy, although it was so hard to choose from all the wonderful images. When we received the pictures we couldn't stop looking at them. They are so much more than what we expected! Just love, love, love them! Thank you so much!

My family and I were lucky enough to win a shoot with Pete, and all I can say is, it was incredible. We had a great experience at a beautiful local location. My 4 year old daughter felt instantly at ease, and found Pete so funny. Although my one year old son took a bit longer to warm up to the camera, Pete was so patient, and really worked hard to create us some wonderful memories and photos to treasure. All of the photos are amazing, and one even made me cry! (In a good way!) I couldn't recommend highly enough!

We were lucky enough to win an Autumn shoot and so took our 18 month old to a gorgeous location. Peter was great with all of us, especially as the little one seemingly didn't want to smile or have fun at all. Peter managed to get some amazing shots and was so helpful on the zoom call to decide what to get. We managed to get some of the Winter packages which has meant we got several of the photos, not sure how we would have reduced the list anymore!

Firstly I would like to thank Pete at paredes photography for choosing my little family runners up in a winning competition, we had an amazing day, I'm quite self conscious in front of the camera but Pete made us all at ease, and we just had so much fun, and many laughs. It was such a friendly atmosphere in the studio and my 6 month old loved her first photography shoot, Pete was brilliant with her getting his toys out especially the sqeeky monkey. We choose our photos last night, they're all amazing it's hard to choose from so many. I highly recommend Pete its a complete A++++++, cant wait to recieve our package Once again, thank you Pete 😊

We just had a photo shoot with Peter and we were delighted with the results. The whole experience was fun and Peter made us fill at ease as soon as we got to the studio. He greeted us all by name and even when our lovely luna the lab made a grand entrance he just let her do her thing and when we were all in position for our first photo she was suitably chilled to join in the whole experience. We would highly recommend Paredes photography the results are outstanding.

I knew Pete was in for a hard time, 5 adults that don't like having their picture taken, and 1 toddler who is very shy and anxious in a new environment. He had my little boy laughing almost straight away. The shoot was a very relaxed environment and we all had such a laugh doing it. We had the viewing today and the pictures are amazing. We are all so relaxed and happy. I've adopted my little boy so the family pictures are extra special for our family. Pete has created very precious family memories.
