Having had a family photo shoot with Pete at Paredes Photography just recently, I must say I was extremely impressed! Pete made the whole process simple and smooth at every stage and made us feel at easy from the off! The photo shoot itself was great fun, full of laughter and smiles and he made it fully accessible to all involved in every way possible - whilst being very safe and Covid secure too! The viewing was done virtually and with our family bubble in two different location we were all able to share the pictures and pick our favourites with ease through a zoom meeting hosted by Pete! The photographs are absolutely stunning and Pete has done a great job at capturing all of our personalities and bring them together to create memories to last a life time - thank you so much! The next time we need to capture some memory making - what ever the occasion, Paredes Photography will unquestionably be called upon again!

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!

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!!

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 was absolutely brilliant throughout the whole process - from keeping us informed about booking, where to meet, what to wear etc to the actual shoot where he got beautiful pictures of our three children we will treasure forever. He made them all laugh and kept them happy and engaged on a cold day. The result is wonderful, I couldn't be happier. Thoroughly recommend!

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!

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 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!
