Some client reviews

Matt & Gina Quinney - Quorn Country Hotel -14/09/2018

" We had already selected our Photographer for our Wedding Day, but also wanted a Video of the Bridal Party preparation's, Ceremony and Speeches.

We placed an Ad on BIDVINE and George Baird PHOTOGRAPHY responded swiftly and quoted a very competitive price, so we agreed to meet George in Markfield near Coalville, who gave us a presentation of his work including a few past videos. We both agreed George had the experience we needed.

On the day George was calm, confident and professional and captured all of the footage we hoped he would and more.

The 4 Videos (normal and musical) and Presentation Case we have are brilliant - we could not be happier with the result.

We can confidently recommend George Baird PHOTOGRAPHY to any future couples and also say, now that we have watched ours, that the ability to have a ' rerun of actual events', with hugs, laughs, kisses, tears and claps is well worth the extra.

Perhaps if we had also known earlier of Georges dual video/photography skills we could have saved ourselves £100's.

George has our private mobile No if you wish us to confirm this review."

Adam & Cherelle St Werburghs & Donington Park Farmhouse - 15/10/2017

“We wanted to surprise our daughter with a Video of the important elements of her wedding. She had organised a friend for Photographs but no video. We wanted to see her special day on the TV relaxed at home - it all goes so fast when its your day.

With only a few weeks to go, we decided to go ahead with this and George Baird PHOTOGRAPHY was recommended to us.

We contacted George and met him at our local pub. He gave a presentation and showed us some of his past Wedding footage.

His obvious knowledge, long experience and confidence, convinced us that even at this late stage he would do a good job for us.

The Wedding Ceremony was held at St Werburghs  Spondon, a beautiful Church. The Reception was at Donington Park Farmhouse Hotel.

On the day George was very professional, respectful and courteous and we could tell he was doing the right things – we hoped his results would be good too.

We met again within days of the Wedding at our local to see the completed Videos and are delighted with the DVDs we now have.

We have 2 Discs each close to 55 mins duration – one of the Church Ceremony (Brides arrival to departure) plus one containing The speeches, cake cutting and first dance.

The picture, colours and audio are excellent and the DVD labels & Presentation Case we have is a great touch for this gift to our daughter/son in law.

Can we recommend George Baird PHOTOGRAPHY ? We certainly can and will now recommend him to others who want memories of their event.

If you employ George - he will take good care of you also and at a great price too”. 

 

Barry & Victoria - 24 Sept 2016 - Breedon Church/Amalfi White

Barry and I were married on 24th September 2016. The Church Ceremony was at Breedon on the Hill - the Reception at Amalfi White in Melbourne.

We both wanted some special memories. Not just photographs - but also a full video recording of our day, from Guest arrivals at church until after the wedding breakfast & speeches at Amalfi's.

The Photographer did not offer a Video service and so we found and contacted George Baird PHOTOGRAPHY.

The day was discussed in detail and George offered to record everything we wanted and at a very good price.

We selected George based on his long experience. personal confidence and price. Throughout our day George acted totally professionally.

We now have 2 X 1hr DVD's - Church Ceremony + Register and also Breakfast and Speeches.

We are very pleased with the quality of both audio and HD Video and we can 'action replay our day'

whenever we wish.

We recommend the services of George Baird PHOTOGRAPHY to any future B & G.

As part of his package George offers a 1hr free Intro session to present his service and for us to decide if we liked him and gauge his experience.
