Testimonials From My Clients

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!!

We recently used Paredes Photography for a family shoot and were not disappointed. Pete was fantastic at making us feel at ease and getting some really natural shots. He was brilliant with my 2 teenagers, really getting their best sides! I would highly recommend him as the images we received were amazing.

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.

We arranged our photo shoot for Easter Sunday and were lucky enough to have one of the most beautiful days of the year to enjoy an outdoor photography experience in the Bluebell Woods. Our daughters, 6 and 3 had such an enjoyable experience. They had never met Peter before and it didn’t take them long at all before they were interacting, smiling and joking with Peter and ‘Monkey’ all around the woods. The whole experience from start to finish was excellent. Peter is extremely patient and this particularly showed when we couldn’t decide on which photos to have printed.... just over two hours of deciding - we finally agreed! We felt very comfortable in Peter’s company and would highly recommend Paredes Photograpy.

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 😊

This was our second photoshoot and great as the first one. The pictures that Pete took were fantastic. He was really creative in the settings that he chose, and brilliant at getting our two boys involved. The result is a set of priceless memories.

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.

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 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.

Definitely recommend. Pete was brilliant. With 2 shy children and an 11 month old he definitely worked his magic. He brought the fun and led them out of their comfort zones and got the best out of a non walker. So professional and couldn't have asked for any better end results. The photos are beautiful! Highly recommended for families with young children! He brought the best out in them. Thank you so much Pete!!
