review of tim hensel photography

Angela and James Crisall

On behalf of me and my husband, I can’t say enough how great Tim was on our wedding day, all the guests loved him and nothing was too much for Tim in making our day special.

Amazing photographs and service from start to finish! I would highly highly recommend.

Even the after service with help in making something special for my family has been amazing-again nothing too much for Tim!

I think people are missing out on a top rated photographer who goes that extra mile and makes you feel comfortable throughout the whole process! You will NOT find another photographer like this for such a reasonable price (too low in my opinion)!💙👰🎩 thank you Tim Hensel!

tim hensel wedding photography review

Ted and Kate Mitchell

I cannot stress enough how fantastic the whole process of working with Tim on our wedding photos has been.

From our first introductory meeting right through to the final album, Tim has been everything you could possibly want from a wedding photographer.

The quality of his work is exceptional and the personable and friendly way he dealt with us throughout the process and more pertinently with all our guests on the actual wedding day was outstanding.

If you are looking for a professional, friendly and innovative photographer that understands and appreciates your own personal requirements and delivers the best quality products on the market at a value for money price then Tim Hensel is this photographer.

    Tim has been absolutely fantastic. He was very organised and helpful leading up to the wedding. On the day, he was a source of calm, keeping everyone in good spirits. The final results are beautiful and we will treasure them forever. Thank you, Tim!

    Tim has been excellent throughout the whole process from silly questions prior to booking, on the shoot day- with all the family members involved, to the return of the images. ( We had a large scale family photo shoot for 60th birthdays with several generations and sections of families) i would absolutely recommend him and would use his talents should the need arise again!

    WOW, from the start Tim was professional, supportive and a damn right amazing supplier. He looked after us superbly on our wedding day as well in the run up to our big day. He listed to what we wanted, gave us ideas and performed above and beyond our expectations. Tim not only is our photographer but we have become amazing friends over time and is simply a super star. Made us feel so relaxed and at ease. Never felt intrusive and honestly we said we didnt know he was there. Perfect for those candid, relaxed and natural images. We have since sat down with a bottle of bubbles to look through them all. Wow, we had tears of laughter, belly laughs, tearing joy and alot of giggles. Amazing images and cant wait to share them all. Thank you Tim from the bottom of our hearts. We really couldn't have picked and chosen a better photographer for our day. We wouldn't hesistate recommending you to anyone looking for a photographer. Thank you so much. All our love and wishes. Sarah and Andrew McNicholas xxxx

    A professional and entertaining photographer that really put a smile on our guests faces (and ours when we got the album!) The style was tailored to our needs and they turned out perfectly, Tim was very forthcoming and listened to our requests and delivered with outstanding results. Very well priced and a lot of communication before the wedding made the whole process enjoyable. Highly recommended.

    Tim photographed my family recently for a special birthday celebration and he is absolutely delightful and personable to work with. He facilitated all our requests before, during and after the shoot which made all the 'admin' aspects totally smooth for me. Not only this but we are thrilled with the results - Tim's style blends effortless and natural-looking portraits with a chic exuberance - believe it or not that's really what I see when I look at the pictures! Thank you Tim 🙂

    Tim was the photographer for our wedding at Thornsett Fields Farm on 30 June this year, and we could not be more delighted with everything he has done. He immediately puts everyone at ease, and is a lot of fun to have around on your day; he is also a firm believer that your wedding day should be about enjoying the celebrations and not spending hours taking pictures, which is something that was really important to us and he was as good as his word! The photographs he has produced of our day are absolutely phenomenal - with a great blend of documentary style and more traditional portraits, we really feel like Tim captured the atmosphere of the day perfectly (there aren’t many pictures where people aren’t laughing!). I don’t think there’s been a day since where we haven’t looked at them and loved them a little bit more! We also asked Tim to create a Fusion movie of the day, and having now seen the results, would recommend everyone to have one. It is such an amazing way to look back on your day, and see snippets you had either forgotten or didn’t get to see first time around: we’re so happy with ours! On top of all of this, Tim has also been fantastic both before and after the wedding. He is always quick to reply, has plenty of great ideas but will never impose – he gets that it’s all about you – and turnaround of photos and Fusion movie has been so fast. So a huge thank you, Tim. You’ve captured so many happy memories for us and we’re so grateful! James & Kay

    Tim did a wonderful job with a business video for my sign company and he also did a fantastic photo shoot for a new up and coming brand I’m launching. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have professional photography 😉

    Tim Hensel is an amazing photographer. He was totally professional but also a great and fun guy who puts you at ease even if you hate having your photo taken. He did some brilliant outdoor headshots for my new website and I have had a lot of positive feedback about the photos. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. You won’t find another photographer like Tim!

    We had Tim for our Wedding in September and he was absolutely fabulous. With is calm and humour nature it was a joy working with him and having him around on the day. The pictures are amazing (lots of our guests have given us good feedback about them) and will help us to remember this special day.

    Tim was incredibly professional, helpful and attentive whilst photographing our wedding. He put us and all of the guests at ease whilst guiding and giving direction. He has a great sense of humour which all of our guests commented on and he was a massive hit. We really appreciate him coming all the way from Kent to honour our booking and it made the day extra special! Thanks Tim! Sam & Jake.

    Tim Hensel photographed my wedding last year, and was simply brilliant. The photos are lovely, and everyone said on the day how nice and easy he made everything.

    Absolutely incredible photographer. Our wedding photos are amazing and he captures moments that others would miss. Tim has done all our family events now and all photos have been fantastic. Couldn't recommend a better photographer, also makes everyone at ease on the day
