Testimonials From Clients
Family Portrait Shoot
Dear Nick,
Many thanks for an outstanding family photoshoot – not only are we thrilled with the pictures taken but we also had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon! We were made extremely welcome in your lovely home which provided the perfect balance of professional studio and warm, comfortable environment.
You also adapted easily to capturing the poses of our 13 month old – a moving and exceptionally unpredictable target at the best of times! Your informal and relaxed style perfectly suited our needs and it was easy to forget that the camera was there as we played, fed our son and changed outfits without feeling under any pressure at all.
We are delighted by the shots taken and impressed by the speed at which they were ready for us to view – we were able to look at the photos and select our favourites at leisure in our own home that same evening.
We have been left with pictures and memories that we will treasure for a lifetime and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to others.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Tano, Jenny and Junior.
Testimonial from Samantha Rathling (International Speaker)
“As an international speaker, I come across a lot of Photographers at events and conferences around the world. Nick has photographed me twice now and I have always been impressed with his friendliness and high attention to detail in to his work. I have never been distracted on stage by his photography which is very important to any speaker and the shots I now use to promote my business.
Thanks Nick, you are brilliant!”

Wedding Photography Training Workshop
I recently shadowed Nick and Anne Sievewright of Footprint Photography at a wedding they were shooting in Harrogate. They both made me feel very welcome and were extremely easy to get along with.
Not once did I feel in the way, especially as wedding shoots can sometimes be very stressful situations. I was clearly briefed on what my role would be which made it a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
One of the best things about my Footprint shadowing experience was that I picked up many tips and tricks of the wedding photography trade as both Nick and Anne are very forthcoming about sharing the skills that they have learned over the years.
Where some professionals close their doors with regards to sharing their skills and experience, I found Nick and Anne at Footprint Photography to be open, encouraging and a delight to deal with.
Following the shadowing experience, Nick invited me for a second tutorial in post production using ‘Adobe Lightroom 3′ which is one of the best tools in post production photography. Nick is a patient, thorough and excellent teacher and I came away from the experience much richer in knowledge and motivated to utilise the new skills I had learned.
I would encourage anyone who is interested in honing their skills in photography or post production to contact Footprint and I very much hope to work with them again in the future.

Photography for an International Motivational Speaker
Dear Nick & Anne,
I am a motivational speaker and I recently asked you to photograph my workshop held at the Aston Hotel in Sheffield. My brief was that I wanted to use the photographs for marketing purposes on my website and Facebook. When I spoke to you about my requirements you were more than happy to help.
You were very friendly and professional and have provided me with a large selection of high-quality photos. You are passionate and expert in what you do and this is reflected in the photos. You captured just what I was looking for.
I would recommend you to anyone and will continue to use your services for my products and social media.
Many thanks.
I wish you a lot of success, happiness and fun!

Digital SLR training session 1:1 with Dorothy Arthur
Hi Nick,
I really enjoyed my photography lesson yesterday. It was superb! Particularly because it was a 1:1 session and we could focus on all my questions.
You were very patient and took the time to explain and clarify things, which for an experienced photographer may be quite simple, but for me as a beginner quite large obstacles.
I found Photoshop amazing….the things you can do to recover or improve a photo; the importance of histograms; how to straighten buildings, etc.
I’m also greatly inspired by your artistic use of depth of field. I had only seen DOF as a necessary technique to ‘blot out’ unwanted objects rather than to encourage people to see what you want them to focus on.
Thank you for your offer of advice when I can afford to buy a new camera.
with kind regards,
Dorothy
Property Photography for Estate Agent “IS Property”
We recently asked Footprint Photography to photograph two properties we were preparing for market. Nick from Footprint agreed to go the same day as we were up against another estate agent who the vendor was considering signing up with. It was important for us to show that we could work quickly and provide a good service
Footprint Photography helped secure the sales instruction by doing an excellent job for us and using professional cameras whereas the previous estate agent had gone around the property and only used the camera on his mobile phone which didn’t impress the vendor at all.
The property is fairly substantial and there were various features we wanted to be highlighted in the photographs. Nick provided us with 63 photos which is far more than we normally get from other photographers. This selection allowed us to choose several for immediate use with many other photos which we could use to update our website in due course.
When dealing with vendors and using 3rd party businesses such as Footprint Photography any issues reflect directly on our business. With Nick the vendor was full of praise which also reflected very well for us
I will definitely be using Footprint Photography in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for a fast and professional service

Bump & Baby shoot
Dear Nick and Anne, I am writing to thank you for the excellent service once again at Footprint Photography. You photographed the “bump” and now that Lyla is here we wanted photographs to capture her as she grows. As a busy mum bringing up two children and also helping to run a company you fitted us in at a convenient time and made us all feel at ease.
You took a lot of photos during Lyla’s shoot and captured just what I was looking for with the very first one! But they are all so lovely it has been hard for us and family to decide which ones to pick! You even took some impromptu ones when our son Harry dived into shot which have also turned out beautifully and captured his “big brotherness” perfectly.
Thank you once again, we are continuing to recommend you to family, friends and anyone we meet who wants any sort of photography as we know you certainly know how to put a smile on everyone’s faces, even dribbly babies and sticky toddlers

From Ant Clifford – Director, Creative Stream (www.creativestream.co.uk) Web Design Company
It was a pleasure to design the website for Tyler Brothers (www.tybro.co.uk) using the images supplied by Footprint Photography. They provided us with beautiful, high-quality photos which perfectly represented the services and products that Tyler Brothers offer. Using great images makes the designer’s job a lot easier!

From Sarah and James – Majestic Hotel Harrogate Wedding
Dear Anne and Nick, we just wanted to get in touch to say we have looked through all the photos and we don’t think any need anything changing, we love them all! Could you send us the high res images please?
Thanks again for everything you did for us on the day, it seems so long ago now, but you were brilliant in helping us organise what we wanted in the build up and on the day itself, and the photos are amazing, exactly what we wanted, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone.
Take care,
Sarah & James
From Nigel Palin – Demolition Photography
Having met Nick and Anne from Footprint Photography and discussed the project we wanted them to photograph we were confident that they could deliver the results we required
The brief was to photograph a 6 storey building being demolished with explosives but to use high speed photography to capture the building in various stages of collapse
On the day of the demolition it snowed heavily and Nick and Anne were stuck on the side of the road for over an hour but kept in contact with us and still made it to site on time
When they got to site they only had a few minutes to be briefed and to get into position before the building came down but the images they captured for us were excellent and exactly what we wanted
They did an awesome job in difficult conditions – I wouldn’t hesitate to utilise their services for other projects where we need a photographic record

From Dean Elmore – Dean Elmore Building Services (family shoot)
Dear Nick, I recently came to your studio for a family shoot along with my two daughters, son and future son in law.
Right from the start you made us all feel at ease in front of the camera and made us all smile. You also made my son Alfie pay attention which is no mean feat!
You captured the moment of us having fun and were full of ideas of what group and individual shots would look good. You and Anne both make a great team
The end results were everything and more than we expected and the prints will make excellent Christmas presents
I have no hesitation in recommending you to anybody who is looking for super hero with a camera – You are Captain Camera!
Yours sincerely,
Dean Elmore
From Emma Digby – Senior Partner and Principal CLL Solicitors
Dear Nick,
Having just set up my own law practice life has been a little hectic over the last couple of months. However, when I spoke to you about my requirements for some photos for promotional material you were more than happy to help. You made arrangements for me to visit your studio at a time convenient to me and you put me at ease. I absolutely hate having my photo taken but you made it good fun and I almost enjoyed the experience!
You provided me with a large selection of images so that I could use my favourites and you dealt with me in a prompt, professional yet very personable manner throughout.
I have been so impressed with Footprint that I have passed your details to my brother who is getting married next year. Trust me this is a real testament to how much I trust you and Anne to deliver the service and quality photographs you promise.
Hope to see you at the wedding but no laughing at the bridesmaid dress!!
Kind Regards

Jenny and Dan’s wedding in the Lake District
Hi Nick and Anne
The photos look fabulous, I don’t think we need anything further doing to them so if you could burn the hi-res disk we would be more than delighted
Thank you again for the wonderful memories you have given us.
Jenny and Dan
Family Portrait Studio Shoot
I had a fantastic photo shoot at Footprint Photography last month. I explained to Nick and Anne that I wanted some informal shots of my children and they suggested that I bring along changes of clothing and fancy dress so that the children could dress up as their favourite characters.
The whole shoot was fun and relaxed. Despite two hyperactive children causing mayhem Nick and Anne were patient throughout and achieved excellent pictures which are now the envy of many of my mummy friends
I have no hesitation in recommending Footprint Photography to my friends and family and I would certainly consider having further photography done by Footprint Photography in the future as my family grows
Many thanks

Camera Training and Photoshop Tutorial Sessions
As part of a photography training session I recently joined join Nick and Anne Sievewright of Footprint Photography at a wedding shoot in Harrogate. They both made me feel very welcome and were extremely helpful from the moment I arrived. I was fully briefed on what to do and was encouraged to shoot photos in a relaxed documentary style which made it an enjoyable and educational experience.
One of the best things about my Footprint shadowing experience was that I learnt many tips and tricks of the wedding photography trade as both Nick and Anne are very experienced and forthcoming about sharing the skills that they have learnt over the years.
Where some professionals close their doors with regards to sharing their skills and experience, I found Nick and Anne from Footprint Photography to be open, encouraging and a delight to share the day with.
Following the shadowing experience, Nick invited me to their studio some days later for a tutorial in ‘Adobe Lightroom 3′ which is one of the best tools in post production photography.
Nick is a patient, thorough and excellent teacher and I came away from the experience much richer in knowledge and motivated to utilise the new skills I had learnt.
I would encourage anyone who is interested in honing their skills in photography or post processing in either Photoshop or Lightroom to contact Footprint Photography and I very much hope to work with them again in the future.

From Nicola and Paul
Nick and Anne were great, they did everything we asked and gave us ideas that we wouldn’t have thought of for really different wedding photographs. We have really great picture memories from our wedding day!
Commercial Testimonial from CS Electrical (Sheffield) Limited
Dear Nick, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the photography services you recently provided to my company. The brief was to capture me working from a mobile elevated platform on an all weather sports pitch.
You arrived on time and jumped straight into action. Even though the weather conditions weren’t optimal you still managed to take some really good quality pictures of me high above ground.
Footprint Photography is now the official CS Electrical photographer and I would not hesitate in recommending your photography skills to anyone who may require them
Once again many thanks

From Laura – a bridesmaid at Diana & Rob’s wedding
Hi Anne & Nick, I’ve just caught up with Diana and Rob back from their honeymoon and seen the photographs you both took at their wedding. I have to say I am particularly impressed at the wonderful photos that Anne was able to capture on the morning of the wedding; I genuinely thought we would end up with no photos given how late we were all running!
They’re all beautiful shots; thank you very much for making the day so easy. It really would not have been the wonderful day it was without you both; thank you so much for your patience and calming influence
Every one of the guests has commented how great they thought you were, we really could not have asked for more.
One more bit of good news; Adam and I have been engaged since March and after the wedding he finally decided to set a date. He was so impressed with how easy you both made the day it got him in the mood.
Expect to be busy; there are about 200 people out there all raving about you
Hopefully you’re not booked for my wedding day yet but if so, who do I have to have assassinated?
On behalf of all of the family thank you so much once again!

A further testimonial from Becky & Chris
Dear Nick & Anne
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and to say how pleased we were with the photos you took at our wedding in August.
Every time we visited you before our wedding you made me and my family feel so welcome, going the extra mile to entertain our children and make our time an enjoyable experience.
Our wedding was amazing and we both feel that you did everything we wanted you to and more. It wasn’t like having two photographers with us it was like you were part of our friends and family. it was great to have both of you there. Anne was able to take pictures of me and my bridesmaids getting ready and Chris was thankful to have Nick around to guide him as well as take photos
The following morning all our family and friends commented on our photographers saying how lovely they were.
Based on our experience with Nick and Anne I would have no hesitation recommending Footprint Photography to anyone in the future
A thank you card from Amanda & Simon

You have both done a great job and we are really pleased!
Thanks Becky : )

From Jo Stokes Denson at the “A Fitting Company”- Pregnancy photography session
Dear Nick and Anne, At the A Fitting Company we take care to listen to and consider the unique needs of our clients. When I recently wanted to record the beauty of my pregnancy I had specific and unique requirements and needed a photographer who would help me to capture the memory in a personal and stylish way.
I am pleased to say that Anne & Nick both listened carefully to my specific requests. They were professional yet relaxed from the outset and the result is a set of photographs I am incredibly happy with, capturing exactly what I had in mind. These will form part of my treasured memories of the beginning of my family.
I will continue to highly recommend Footprint Photography to any family, friends or colleagues who would like photographs that are personal and which will record special life events.
Nick & Anne from Footprint Photography certainly know how to put a smile on your face
With sincerest thanks

From Faye & James – The Parsonage wedding
Dear Anne & Nick, we would like to say a huge thank you for all your hard work and effort that you put into capturing our wedding day.
We knew from the moment you both took our pre-wedding photos that we had chosen the right photographers for our special day. You made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera.
Many of our guests commented on how professional yet friendly you both were and you worked so well with everyone there.You did your utmost to get all the photos we wanted and also welcomed our ideas.
Your photographs are truly amazing and capture the day perfectly. The difficulty comes now choosing our favourites from all 910 pictures.
Your service has been 1st class and we would highly recommend you.
We’re looking forward to seeing a photobook put together in the future.
Many thanks

From Sarah & Paul – Granborough
Hi Anne and Nick, what can I say, the photos are amazing. You have done a lovely job and there isn’t one photo we don’t like (note from Footprint – Sarah & Paul got 975 photos from their wedding). Even I look relaxed and I’m smiling which we all know is rare for me!!
I don’t think words could ever comprehend how grateful we are for the amazing job you both did for us. You captured our perfect day with beautiful well timed photos and we could never thank you both enough for giving us lasting perfect memories.
They really did exceed my expectations so a massive thank you!!
We’d love an album too so would it be OK to talk about that at a later date?
Thank you so much

From Emma & Dave – Hargate Hall Wedding
I love em, love em, love em!
Probably shouldn’t have looked at them without Dave but never mind hehehe, too late now!
I would like a few in black and white but better consult with him first
We absolutely love the pics and to be honest there hasn’t been a single day since we got them that I haven’t wasted at least an hour looking at them again hehehe
Speak soon and thanks again
Emma
From Sarah & Paul (the day after their wedding)
Hi Anne and Nick,
Just wanted to drop you an e mail to say a massive thank you for being so great at our wedding. It was lovely having you both taking photos, you were great, even in the rain !!
We can’t thank you both enough for help make our day so perfect and travelling down to be with us it meant a lot to us both and we really enjoyed having you both there.
It was like having friends take our photos rather than photographers which is a great feeling so thank you really looking forward to seeing the final pics!!!

Bluebell Wood Hospice
Footprint Photography are the official photographers for the siblings groups at Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice. These groups, run monthly, give Bluebell Wood siblings some time on their own to have fun, relax and meet friends in the same situation as them. Nick and Anne capture the group’s experiences with fantastic shots, without ever getting in the way of the group’s activities or disrupting the flow of the groups. They are sensitive to the circumstances of the siblings and a real pleasure to work with, and the images produced are always of the highest quality and really tell the story of what the group has been involved with.
I would recommend their services to anybody looking for a photographer, either on a commercial or personal basis.

Ben & Vicky’s wedding at Rogerthorpe Manor
Hi Nick and Anne
We have looked through the photos and wow!!
I would like to say again thank you we cannot believe you have taken so many top quality photos. We really enjoyed our wedding day and you have made a massive contribution in making that day special.
Thank you for being there to capture it. Throughout the day you were there not just as a photographer but somebody to ask advice from.
Many of our friends and family asked how we knew you and thought you were our friends. We cannot recommend you highly enough, and will definitely use you guys again. Thank you so much.

Photography Training Workshop
As a new DSLR user I had been looking around for a photography course for a while, and as I’m not one for reading the manuals or tutorials, Footprint’s tailored 1-2-1 photography session appealed to me as a perfect solution.
The session was tailored to me, my photography needs and my camera, and I was very impressed with the array of coverage in just a 4 hour session; basic essential tips such as how to hold the camera, effective lens changing, cleaning and care; advanced techniques such as Aperture, Shutter speeds, ISO, Exposure and Depth of Field; practical photography with my camera and also the chance to use Footprint’s equipment; and finally a quick overview of Photoshop.
In summary I attended the course knowing very little about photography and how to use my camera, and I left feeling very confident and extremely eager to get out and use my camera (and purchase some new lenses)!
For me it definitely released me from the green auto setting, and I would highly recommend Footprint’s training to anyone who is new to photography, and I look forward to arranging another session with Nick and Anne once I’ve put my new skills into practise. – Best Wishes Adam
Paul & Cheryl’s wedding at Whitley Hall – (Canadian Couple)

I would recommend you guys to anyone purely based on the service we received and we haven’t even seen the photos yet
We have been lucky to find you guys and once again thank you
I’m sure we’ll be in touch when we return from our two weeks in paradise – we may even show you some of our photos!!!
Thank you again, see you soon

Ecclesall Toddler Group
Down at the toddler group a problem appeared
No photos were taken for over 2 years
The mothers were asking and looking downcast
We need someone quick, we need someone fast
Just look at our children they’re growing with pace
There’s no-one to capture the smile on their face
So without hesitation, I picked up the phone
To Footprint Photography, in Sheffield well known
“Please Nick & Anne can you come, short notice I know”
They agreed, but were thwarted with shed loads of snow
Undeterred for the New Year, no snow on the ground
They were soon taking pictures, with chaos around
For 3 days they laboured, to the task they arose
“Just sit still and smile and don’t pick your nose”
The results were amazing, a grand gallery
Worth every penny, to print and to see
The team here at toddlers, are grateful to you
For mothers are happy and grandparents too
Not so for the children, they don’t care a jot
They’d much rather run and be covered with snot!!
Just to say thank you
Love Jo Hird

Photography for Nottingham Powerchair Football Club
Dear Nick & Anne
We have been trying to capture the essence of how Powerchair Football is used by disabled people in pictures for some time. You were asked and immediately said yes.
You attended a recent training session where players had travelled up to an hour and a half just to train for what is the only sport that some of them participate in. We were able to run a near normal session with you both taking action and still shots.
The results were amazing and are going to be used not only on our own website and posters but also for the Wheelchair Football Association which will be seen worldwide.
Everyone enjoyed your relaxed and professional attitude and were totally happy with the finished results.
Once again, many thanks for your professional and friendly service
Yours sincerely

Dear Nick
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your guidance in photography skills a couple of weeks ago.
I have owned my digital SLR camera for over a year now and even though I have read through the manual it seemed as though it was written in Mandarin and I was getting nowhere fast.
I took to using my camera on automatic modes which was a waste considering what the camera was capable of.
I then heard you mention in the Soaraways BNI meeting that you would be providing tuition and guidance on the intricacies of cameras and photography to us mere mortals and thought this would be of some use to me.
You didn’t fail to impress, explaining everything in laymen’s terms so even I could take it in.
You took me through a few steps and tips which gave me a clearer understanding of how my camera works.
I would not hesitate in recommending your tutoring skills in photography to anyone who may require them.
Once again many thanks.
Yours sincerely
Mat Sayers

Photography Training Session
Hi Nick & Anne, I really want to thank you both for time taken to teach me how to use my digital SLR. I was stumped on anything except the automatic settings and very frustrated when things didn’t come out as I wanted them to but your easy way and lots of patience has really paid off.
By the end of my session with you both I had a good understanding of the different modes and can now confidently choose Aperture or Shutter priority to match the situation and you even got me to experiment with Manual and showed me how to make the best use of on camera and off camera flash too. The confidence I have now to take my photography further knows no bounds.
Thank you both so much, you have released my poor camera from the P mode!

Sarah & Andrew – Honeymoon in Sri Lanka
We met Nick & Anne by chance at sunset on a beach in Sri Lanka. Andrew and I were on our honeymoon and Nick & Anne had been flown out to photograph a wedding. They took some fantastic sunset shots of us and were kind enough to send us the images. Nick & Anne are a lovely friendly couple and we can’t thank them enough for our honeymoon memento. The photos are now proudly displayed on our wall and impress all of our guests!
Jackie & Dave’s Wedding – Whitley Hall
Hi Nick and Anne, we would like to thank you for everything you did to make our wedding day so special and for making us feel that nothing was too much trouble.
From the moment we met you both we knew we wanted you to capture our memories from the day.
The pre-wedding shoot was a wonderful way of us being at ease around the camera and we got a great selection of photos to add to the collection which we will treasure along with our wedding ones.
By the time the wedding arrived we felt totally at ease with the camera and yourselves. It felt more like our friends were capturing our day
The only good thing about arriving back from our honeymoon was to come and look at the photographs and we love them all !!
We look forward to seeing you both in the New Year to try to pick through the nearly 800 photos to choose the ones for our wedding album

Commercial shoot at Tyler Brothers Engineering Company for Creative Stream
Dear Nick and Anne, I am writing to thank you for the photography you recently provided for the new website for our client Tyler Brothers Engineering (www.tybro.co.uk) due to go live early in 2011. The quality of images used can really make or break the visual appeal of a website so we were really pleased when we saw the results you have managed to achieve. The shots you had taken were dynamic, creative and of a very high standard which is no small achievement considering it was a roaming shoot in an engineering works. I would have no hesitation in recommending your commercial photography services to any business wanting to add visual impact to their marketing materials whether printed or online.

Hi Nick and Anne, the photos look really really good! Fantastic work. It’s great that you have given me options of lighting, aspect and style for particular shots. There is a superb selection of images.
I’ll get back to you with a list asap. It’ll take a little while though and I think it’ll be tricky to cut them down but I’ll try!
Thanks very much

Nikki & Darren’s Wedding – Ranmoor Church / Whirlowbrook Park
Having two photographers photograph our wedding was a massive plus and it meant both bride and groom had their own personal snapper which led to some excellent photos of us getting ready. The option of the pre-wedding shoot was also a clincher for us and allowed us to get even better pictures on the big day. Thank you again for your professionalism, but still calming, manner.

If you could sent us the disk with the images on that would be great as we’re eager to plug the laptop into the telly to see them on the big screen!
Thanks so much for all your hard work.

Hi Nick and Anne
We just wanted to say a really big thank you for all the work you did yesterday. Thank you for making us feel so relaxed and helping the day to run so smoothly
Sue & Andrew
Jennifer & Dave’s Wedding at Oulton Hall Yorkshire
We were fairly specific in what we wanted which was a digital copy of all the shots from the day on a disk for us to create our own album in the future. Nick and Anne provided exactly that with a combination of traditional and relaxed shots of our friends and family enjoying the day.
We are thrilled with the results.
Charlotte’s Photo shoot

I was nervous but I relaxed so quickly and felt so comfortable with you guys

Helena’s Lingerie Shoot
Being someone who is not very confident with her looks I was rather daunted about doing the shoot I had booked. However Nick and Anne made me feel more than welcome. I immediately felt comfortable and really enjoyed my shoot. The photos produced were excellent. There was such a massive range to choose from – this was the hardest bit!
Thanks again, I would recommend you without hesitation
Helena
Andy & Georgina’s Wedding at Horwood House Buckinghamshire
Hi Anne and Nick,
We would just like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you for the fantastic photos you took at our wedding – you really captured the day perfectly!
Both Georgina and I felt really comfortable having you there (the pre-wedding shoot really helped!) and even the guests commented how you blended in to get the more natural shots – this has definitely been reflected in the results which we will cherish forever.
I would not hesitate to recommend you both as your friendly, “nothing’s too much trouble” attitude helped us to relax on our big day to help get the most out of it.
PS – We are still trying to decide which of the 700+ photos you gave us we like best!!!

Jenny and Whitney’s Wedding in Aylesbury
“Dear Nick and Anne, we just want to say thank you both so much for all your help on our wedding day. I know this message is a little bit late as we have been away on our honeymoon but we wanted to see the photographs you took so that we could thank you properly.
We don’t know anyone else who could have made the memory of our special day more beautiful or have been so generous with their time as you two”
Thank you so much
Jenny and Whitney
Commercial Shoot for a client in Aylesbury
WOW !!! – loved them !!
We are launching a new company website and knew that the photographs on the site had to show both the professional image we want to convey but were also somehow different enough to really draw the eye.
When we came to see you, you listened to us and to our ideas before taking us into the studio to shoot the photographs. During the shoot you involved us at each step of the way by showing us the photos in camera as you took them and discussing what you wanted to achieve. You made us very relaxed and proved that even corporate photography can be lots of fun. The more we enjoyed ourselves the better the photographs became
We were working to a very tight timescale to get the finished photos to the web developer and you responded wonderfully by showing us proof copies on your website within a couple of hours and then working quickly to provide the finished results
We are delighted with what you have done for the image of our website and our company and we are so pleased with the photos that we have ordered a large 6ft x 3ft blow up of one of your images to be mounted on the wall of our offices
Thank you so much

Jeanette and Chris’s Wedding at Weston Turville Golf Club
“Hi Anne and Nick, Chris and I just had to drop you a line to say how pleased we are with the way you photographed our wedding and with how many treasured memories of our day you captured. Your friendly manner and attention to detail was second to none. Seemingly without effort you have produced photographs of the serious and the fun moments and blended them beautifully for us”
Lots of love
Jeanette
Portrait Shoot at “The Raj” in Wendover
“You guys are amazing, nothing is too much trouble. We knew we wanted a series of portrait photos of the management and some of the staff but weren’t sure how to go about it.
After speaking with you at the restaurant it all fell into place very quickly. Your choice of location and backdrops worked perfectly and even those who were camera shy were quickly put at ease and the forced smiles at the beginning of the shoot were transformed into genuine ones because of the way you put people at ease and showed how much fun could be had.
We will not hesitate to use you again and we are already planning a follow up shoot for the restaurant and family photographs too”

Katie and Steve’s Wedding at Whipsnade Zoo
“Dear Nick and Anne, Thank you so much for doing the photography for our wedding and subsequent reception at Whipsnade Zoo.
It was really advantageous to have you at the rehearsal especially with us not being particularly used to being in the spotlight and in front of the camera.
Katie and I had both been a little apprehensive about having our photos taken so many times and having a photographer with both the bride and groom’s party all day. Your incredible professionalism though made it all very comfortable and your creativity ensured we have so many photos that we will cherish for life.
I would recommend Nick and Anne at Footprint above any other photographic company I have used; they can make a special day perfect.”

Pre Wedding & Family shoot for Annette & Paul
“Hi Anne & Nick
Thank you so much for the family picture shoot you did. They were really good fun and very natural. You managed to capture some really lovely moments between us all. You made us feel really comfortable, and we can’t wait for you to take our photos at our Wedding
Thank you again”
Paul, Annette & Rosie
Annette & Paul Wedding
“Thank you Anne & Nick for our amazing Wedding pics. You made us feel really relaxed during the formal photos, and we were so happy with the pictures that you managed to capture through the ceremony, and before the Wedding. It was difficult at times with the little person running around but you managed to cope with this and take some wonderfully natural shots! You made our Wedding memories even more special
Thank you so much”

Charity Event for Disadvantaged Children
Dear Nick & Anne
Thank you so much for everything that you did for us on Saturday evening. I really do appreciate it and I know it was a really long day for you too!
The photo that I have seen this morning, that I will send to the newspaper, looks brilliant and I can’t wait to see all the others. I will mention your website in the press release so that hopefully lots of other people will buy some photos!
Thank you again for all your help and time

Commercial Shoot for Mike Carroll – Singer & Entertainer
I met Nick & Anne some time ago and having spoken with them and seen their work I booked them to photograph me and to design my latest album cover, business cards and promotional artwork for both my solo work and for my band.
I was so pleased with the results that I have used them several times since for both business and family photography. They go above and beyond without hesitation and are able to work to very tight timescales with great professionalism.
I recommend them highly and will continue to work with them in the future.

Family Shoot for the Clinch Family
Hi Nick & Anne, couldn’t wait until I got back from work to look at the photos. Wow! I’m so pleased with them, you have captured just what we wanted, our 3 kids having fun. Thank you so much

Testimonial from Melissa Dickens (photographer)
I have worked along side Nick and Anne over the last year and can honestly say it’s been a pleasure, hard work but great fun.
From a personal point of view, they have passed on a wealth of knowledge to me through a hands on approach and critique and given me so much more confidence in my own ability.
From a professional point of view, Nick and Anne produce high quality, stunning images that always capture the feeling of the occasion in a relaxed, unobtrusive way and would most certainly recommend them.
I look forward to working with them again in the future.
Sian & Justin’s Wedding
Dear Nick and Anne, We found a brilliant service when we found you guys and would definitely use you in the future. It was your attitude and nature that sold it for us. We felt you went above and beyond our expectations and agreed deal to give us what we wanted.
Nick and Anne have a knack for keeping a smile on your face while getting the job done. They made us, our friends and our family feel at ease in front of the camera, which enabled them to get some priceless pictures that will be treasured. They are very professional and a joy to work with, nothing was too much trouble for them.
We would drive great distance to use Footprint Photography again.

The Wiseman Family Portrait Session
A special thanks to Nick and Anne for the stunning photographs they produced during our family shoot. Our 13 month old daughter was very uncooperative on the day and I anticipated a less than successful outcome. I am pleased to say that I was very far off the mark!
The pictures were miraculous. I am not at all photogenic and yet am now seriously considering giving up plumbing and going into modelling as a career, they made us all look relaxed and natural.
Due to the hours that I work they were more than happy to work around my schedule and do what best suited us as a family. This meant a Sunday morning which I am sure is not the norm amongst photographers of their calibre. I don’t believe this was any special one off for us, but rather what they do for everyone.
They obviously enjoy what they do as is it done with passion and pride.

Pet Shoot for Lottie the Golden Retriever
Thanks for the wonderful photo of our dog Lottie which takes pride of place in our hall. The photoshoot was arranged by my children as a present and Nick and Anne from Footprint Photography made the whole process very enjoyable for Lottie and the children. The choice of photos available (after the shoot) on the internet was amazing and it took me hours to make my final choice
Nick and Anne truly captured Lottie’s “look” and I thank them for all their professionalism for making this surprise present a great one

13th Birthday Studio Shoot for Jaymee
Just a brief note to say a sincere thanks for a wonderful photo shoot that you did for our daughter, Jaymee, for her 13th birthday.
From start to finish you made her feel special and she thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We look forward to seeing the images soon and wish you all the best for the future.
We would have no hesitations in recommending you to friends or family.

Boudoir / Lingerie Shoot for Stacey
I want to say a huge thank you to Nick and Anne from Footprint Photography. The shoot that I did with them was so much fun, plus the photos were excellent too!
I had booked a boudoir session with them which involved lingerie, topless and artistic nude shots with them and I loved it!
Nick and Anne make you feel so comfortable and relaxed which makes it so much easier and the photos are ten times better as a result as you look more natural being completely at ease. They didn’t tell me to get naked or anything, in fact they wanted to start off fully clothed but I offered to go nude first so i didn’t get strap marks!
They are not pushy and work to your speed and confidence. They can give you lots of direction to get the best poses for your body shape and they encourage your input and for you to experiment with poses you like.
I was there just over 2 hours and we laughed and joked the whole time and by the end of it I was just so comfortable walking around naked! It felt so liberating just to walk around the room and not feel self conscious or feel like anyone was judging me or anything
I would definitely want to work with these two again, and cant wait for the next opportunity. The photos that we produced have made an fantastic addition to my portfolio. Plus my boyfriend loved them all too!
So if you want to just update your portfolio, start your portfolio, or just get some really beautiful pictures of yourself to look back on in years to come, then definitely get in touch with Nick and Anne from Footprint Photography.
I can honestly say you will never regret it and will cherish the photos and memories forever!

Personal Injury Photography for Kidd Rapinet Solicitors
I am pleased to recommend Nick Sievewright of Footprint Photography. Nick has recently assisted us with an injury clain by taking photographs of our injured client.
I was very impressed with the speed and quality of Nick’s work. I am sure that his photographs will enable us to achieve a level of settlement in our case that we would not otherwise have achieved.
My client reported to me that she was very happy with the way Nick dealt with her.
I would not hesitate to use Nick again for similar projects. I would be happy to confirm this reference by e-mail or over the telephone.
