Andrew at Picture Partnership took the photos at our annual event at Westminster Abbey, a hugely prestigious and important event in our organisational calendar. Andrew was a pleasure to work with, knew exactly what we wanted, interacted in just the right way with people at the event, and produced some fantastic photos we will use throughout the year. I would definitely recommend him.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After meeting and Andrew and Caroline we choose the baby steps package as we loved the idea of having photos of our daughter at each milestone. Caroline gave us lots of useful information before the shoot so we were well prepared. On the day of the shoot Caroline made us feel very comfortable, she set up a variety of backgrounds and themes for us so we had lots of options to pick from once the photos were ready. We had a viewing session a few weeks after and Caroline helped us select a great collection of images, we can't wait for the final shoot to see all the milestones together. Thank you Picture Partnership!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Andrew Dunsmore and his colleagues at the Picture Partnership have been a major part in the success of the Bromley Rotary Clubs' Youth Awards Scheme. This project rewards local young people who have made a key contribution to their local communities or as young carers. The photo of winners receiving their award from the Mayor of Bromley is an important part of the red-carpet ceremony.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my daughter’s pictures taken for her first birthday, we had a photographer called Caroline and she was incredible! My daughter is very shy around new people and environments, Caroline was amazing and let my daughter roam around until she felt comfortable, also brought out teddy’s and toys and played with her. The photos were incredible too! Thank you so much!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Picture Partnership and specifically Andrew Dunsmore highly enough. Not only is the coverage fantastic and the end product of the highest quality, Andrew has a beautiful way of making the subjects of his images relax and feel at ease resulting in some truly special shots. Andrew thank you for all your help, I look forward to us working together again in the future.
