After having looked at all of the photography firms in the South East and East of England that we could find, we stumbled upon Natalie Solveland of Silverland Images by word of mouth.
We needed a wedding photographer. So much rides on one special day. Everyone we looked at looked average to humdrum. All were expensive to very expensive, and the quality of the work just wasn't there.
Upon looking at her portfolio, straight away, we could see that Natalie was in a different league from most wedding photographers.
Some photographers are great at composition. Others have a gift for light. Some can produce traditional portraiture. Others are better at the reportage style.
Natalie seems to combine the best of all these styles and go further - she captures the essence of the day, without making things look staged, and best of all - she captures the 'real' you.
She makes you radiant, and makes all the details of the day sparkle and glow. We were blown away by the quality of her work. I swear her lenses have magic dust on them.
There is something about her that makes you feel like you have known her for a while - something that makes you joyful and so comfortable in her presence - so vital on a special occasion when other elements of the day may be emotional or stressful and when you need to trust the person who will capture your memories.
She is an exceptionally gifted photographer. She is incredibly professional and her fees were brilliant value for money.
I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you want the kind of quality you find in high end coffee table books and magazines but with understanding and the personal touch, you've found it. She's phenomenal. read more
