Testimonials From My Clients

Pete was great!! We were lucky enough to win a competition at Christmas and at first I chose to have a studio shoot but last minute changed to an outdoor location and Pete didn’t have a problem at all. He captured lovely photos of our family and presented them beautifully in a slideshow for our zoom photo viewing. I’d highly recommend using Pete if you need a photographer. He was great with our eldest (2 years) and is super friendly and down to earth 😊

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!

We had a great day with Peter where he was able to take some amazing pictures of me, my mum and my 2 dogs! He was so calming and patient with the dogs - who at times really weren't cooperating! Highly recommend as the finished photos are just beautiful, especially the wall art which has come out perfect! Overall a great day creating memories that we were able to now keep.

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!

Absolutely amazing, I would not hesitate to recommend! Not only did Peter make my teenager children completely relax and really enjoy the whole experience, he got my Nephew, who is only 6 months old, smiling and giggling, so the end product was absolutely perfect. Peter thank you, I cannot put into words how happy we are with our photos.

Wow! Wow! And WOW! I reluctantly entered an autumnal photoshoot for the kids and was absolutely gobsmacked when we were selected. I felt really unsure and nervous about the shoot as its something neither of my boys had ever experienced. My oldest is reserved and shy and my youngest had just turned 1 and hadn't had much interaction with other people due to covid - so to say I was anxious was an understatement. I had kind of already decided it was going to be a nightmare. How wrong was i! As soon as Peter approached us, I felt at ease straight away. Peter was fantastic from the get go. He struck up a friendship with my oldest son Noah, immediately and I couldn't believe how confident Noah was within 5 minutes! It was like having a different child. Peter made it magical and fun the entire time! Milo, my youngest was a little bit more challenging but Peter was so patient and just took everything at Milo's pace. There was no pressure at all. It was natural, relaxed and so much FUN! The photos on our viewing date were just so amazing. Better than i could have ever imagined. I cant believe how beautiful my children are and i look at the pictures, with a huge smile and a very proud mum. They honestly just make us smile and beam so much. Peter has captured some beautiful memories and we cant thank him enough for doing so. He is such a genuine person and we hope we see him again very soon in the future. Noah still talks about Peter and Bob the monkey often and asks if we can see them again. We would highly recommend Peter to anyone, he really is a very talented man and absolutely fantastic at what he does. The overall experience is something i won't forget. Thank you SO much Peter!

We have recently taken part in the Autumn experience and we had great fun. Pete was so good with our little boy and captured his personality perfectly! We have recently purchased some of the pictured & Pete made the whole process so much easier and was so helpful. We will definitely be using Pete again and would recommend!

We are absolutely delighted with our photos. The whole experience has been a joy. Peter captured beautiful shots that really tell the story of our family. Peter listened very carefully and was incredibly creative and didn’t miss a thing. He is very skilled and just seemed to know exactly how to get the shots without fuss. His skill in putting the album together and guiding us through the process of choosing shots was brilliant. Thank you so much. He has captured treasured memories. And we had lots of laughs along the way. I would highly recommend Peter.

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!

Pete was so good! I couldn't recommend him highly enough. He dealt with 3 teenagers and a dog perfectly and I would definitely recommend him!
