Wedding at the Bodleian Library in Oxford | Lisette and Duncan

What a beautiful wedding!

Lisette and Duncan's natural Oxford wedding photos were created at Oriel chapel, this was followed by a champagne reception, wedding breakfast and evening entertainment at Bodleian Library. Both of these venues are spectacular in terms of architecture, light and atmosphere.

I first met Lisette and Duncan for their engagement shoot in London several months prior to the wedding. These sessions are always so useful for couples to understand more about the way I work and for us all to get to know each other a little before the big day.

Dear Allister,

Thank you so much. We absolutely love the photos. The slideshow is just beautiful. We've been showing them off this week and everyone has been hugely impressed. 

Those at the wedding said they had not noticed you at all during the day and were therefore even more impressed by the photographs you produced. Duncan and I were particularly delighted with the sheer number of friends and family members you managed to photograph so well, how do you do it!? Such talent! 

We've loved working with you, Allister and are busy singing your praises. Frankly the photos speak for themselves and I know some I've shown have been making a note of your name.

On a practical level your set up in terms of accessing the photos and presentation is brilliant. The turn around time and access to photos has been great and easy. We are very much looking forward to receiving the album ( we just need to select the photos which will be tough!

We will be highly recommending you and should we need a photographer in future you will be our first call. Thank you so much for capturing our day so expertly and with such magic. We shall treasure the collection of photographs.

With very best wishes to you and your family,

Lisette and Duncan 

Brian and Jen's Wedding at North Cadbury Court, Somerset

We want to say a word of thanks for the beautiful wedding photography you created on our wedding day. It is a perfect collection executed in a timeless, reportage style. It follows our effortless-appearing engagement shoot photos with the two mischievous puppies where you made us feel completely at ease.

We felt your reportage approach worked perfectly for us; capturing key moments we knew we wanted but also so many photographs that have surprised us and we now love! The real happiness of the two of us getting through the stages of the day comes through so genuinely, in a way a series of staged poses just couldn't provide.

Days after receiving them we still enjoy going through the collection, each one a glimpse into when our families and friends from across different sides of the pond got together to share our big day. We couldn't be happier.

Thank you so much!

The UK’s Top 50 Wedding Photographers 2016

Very pleased to have been shortlisted as a top 50 wedding photographer in the UK by the Go Hen blog! There's some real talent in the UK industry at the moment so I'm very pleased.

Here's a little blurb from my shortlisting...

Style: Reportage, natural, contemporary

Where: London & UK

The thing that struck us about Allister Freeman is how much attention he pays to the smallest details; the make-up, the straightening of the bow-tie, the nervous glass of bubbly with the bridesmaids and the moment where the groom lays eyes on the bride are all caught in his unique, creative blend of contemporary and reportage.
