Tim did the photos for our wedding. He was just amazing, he went over and beyond what we wanted for the day. He was lovely to our friends and family and made us all chuckle with laughter. He is warm, kind, professional and friendly. He has great ideas about locations too. His ideas for shots were just genius. We are so pleased with the photos. We highly recommend him!

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.

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!

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 is a phenomenal photographer with great vision and creative flare! We’re so impressed with the photos he took of our wedding at Fort Burgoyne in Dover.

We wanted more than your typical group shots, cuddly couple portraits and he absolutely delivered. From smoke grenades and lasers, to sparklers and disco balls, he got some amazing shots. We’ll never forget the day thanks to the memories he captured.

Tim has great artistic talent. His work is not run-of-the-mill professionalism. His images capture the joy, romance and excitement of one of the best days of our lives. Tim has a genuine passion for his job - he goes beyond and above what a standard wedding photography agency might offer. He is also a pleasure to be around, making everyone feel at ease while he pulls out all the stops to get the shot he is looking for.

Tim is a super chap who makes you feel at ease if your camera shy and don't like your photo taken. Tim is there to ensure he gets the most natural and fun images with a little bit of something different along the way. He has a fantastic eye on what will work in the environment he works in.
Tim is fantastic at his job, listens to your requirements and works to your plan and always adding ideas to get the best images of your day.
With his relaxed and funny sense of humour I have no hesitation in recommending Tim for weddings or any event. You will not be dissapointed. Xxx

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! The pictures are absolutely amazing, I couldn't have asked for better. Thanks Tim!

Tim did the Photography at my Brother's Wedding and my Best Friend's Wedding. He is absolutely fantastic. The pictures are the best I have ever seen. He is absolutely incredible. Tim is charming, kind, generous and fitted in superbly with all the guests at both events. He really works with the space to get the best pictures possible. I will definitely be ordering some up myself. If I ever get married I know who will be doing the pictures at my Wedding. Thank you Tim for making both Weddings so special and memorable. I highly recommend Tim for your Wedding Pictures, you absolutely won't regret it!

Our reception venue recommended Tim Hensel along with 3 other photographers for our big day we chose Tim because looking at his previous work he really tried to get the natural shots which is what we were after and I can confirm we weren't disappointed!
Tim is so easy going but also very professional at his job he took into account everything (like even taking signs off trees) to make sure he got the perfect shot for us! Even through the wedding breakfast he sat there and edited 7 different photos for us so we would have some professinal ones straight away!
Everyone commented on what a great photographer he was considering the day was one of the hottest of the year and uncomfortable for everyone in suits and tight dresses he showed so much patience and worked tirelessly all day!
Thank you Tim for being so easy to work with and I would hands down recommend you to anyone! Fab guy!

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!

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.

Zoe and Will Hayes

It really has been a pleasure, its so refreshing to find a good photographer who is great with people, especially children (even grumpy ones, lol).

I will definitely be recommending you to everyone I know and you will be our first choice next time we need a photographer, Thanks for everything.
