Pete is "no snap and shoot photographer". He is a creative individual, who will strive to add an inspired dimension to every photograph he takes. His large client base speaks for itself - from professional publishing organisations through to the man in the street. We would recommend his work.
Annabelle & Mark. (Reportage Wedding Shoot August 2008, Wirksworth & Alison House Cromford).
Zeroeight photographed our wedding in August 2008, and I can honestly say we couldn't be more pleased with the result. Pete was so unobtrusive on the day that sometimes we hardly even knew he was there. He really captured the atmosphere of the day by taking casual photos of us all just enjoying the day, without forcing anyone into any uncomfortable/unnatural poses, which was exactly what we were after, especially with so many children there! Other members of the wedding party and our guests also commented afterwards how friendly Pete was and how he made taking the photos fun rather than the usual chore they are at weddings. The service and help we've received since the wedding regarding extra prints/albums etc has also been excellent. We would 100% recommend Zeroeight to anyone, and can't wait to meet up again soon for some more photos.
Caroline & Darren. (Wedding Package November 2009, The Churchill Hotel York & Peak District).
Pete brought to our wedding day enthusiasm, energy and imagination. From the pre-shoot through to the wedding days itself Pete was creative and professional in his approach. The pre-shoot was a fantastic day and designed to ensure that our wedding day ran as naturally as possible, we couldn’t have been more taken care of! Thank you to Pete for making our special day one to be remembered for years to come.
Tony & Louise. (Wedding Package December 2009, Walton Hall, Wakefield).
Zeroeight Photograhy exceeded our expectations, Pete's approach was so enthusiastic and friendly which put us both at ease. The passion he has shines through in the end product and nothing is too much trouble. Our Wedding day was the best day ever and Pete's creativity ensured every little detail was captured. We could not be happier with the fantastic photos you captured. We are delighted to have found an excellent photographer with a versatile approach and hold you in high regards and we are rest assured that we have found a photographer for life. We certainly would recommend your professional and talented services for any event.
Hairess. (Hair Fashion, Magazine On Going Projects, Sheffield).
Working with Pete (photography08) was inspirational. Pete is very easy going, creative and professional with his work. Working with us at HAIRESS Pete's approach to our ideas were met with our passion for hairdressing and his passion for photography. Ideas flowed easy from stylist to photographer to model and as quick as the flashing of the camera Pete's friendly nature made working with him a pleasure. The atmosphere of his working environment which he creates is one full of energy and excitement. Pete is very approachable and he has no boundaries to his unique photography, the sky is the limit. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pete to clients, friends and family because his versatility and pricing is unbeatable.
Andrew & Jodie. (Wedding & Album Package February 2010, Leopold Hotel, Sheffield).
Pete has recently completed the photography for our wedding and we have nothing but praise for him. He really went above and beyond what we expected, staying until late into the evening reception which most photographers don't do. Apart from being a dedicated and accomplished photographer he is a really nice guy and both him and his assistant were able to put the guests at ease and obtain the photos without being intrusive. We would definitely recommend him. We received the album in really good time and when it arrived were overjoyed at how it turned out - the quality and finish is outstanding. We have had tons of compliments from everyone who has seen it! It is the perfect album to top off a perfect day, thankyou.
Ross & Bob. (Wedding & Album Package February 27th 2010, Mercure St Paul's Hotel, Sheffield).
Thank you for making our wedding a wonderful day to remember, I would recommend you to anyone. The way that you are there the whole day taking pictures helps make it so special. We never got the feeling of panic from you or your assistant everything felt so relaxed whether that was us or you or a mixture of both. Thank you for making our day special.
Katie & Phil. (Wedding Only Package May 22nd 2010, The Downcliffe House Hotel, Filey).
Peter and team photographed our wedding in May 2010 and we couldn't be happier with the results. They were at the venue before breakfast and stayed until well into the evening reception, and all our guests have commented on how good the images are and also how laid back and easy the group photos were. The preshoot we had in the Peak District was also great and gave us chance to get to know Pete and Josef. We would 110% recommend them to anyone.
Cass & James. (Complete Photography Only June 26th 2010, The Tigers Rugby Ground & Leicester).
Photography08 photographed my wedding in June 2010. Pete is a very creative person and has great ideas to make photography interesting. He was very professional throughout the whole process and during our special day I hardly knew he was there. He involved my children throughout the pre-shoot and allowed them to be part of the process of the shoot as well as staring in it. He is very friendly and when I had my boudoir shoot I was rather nervous, but Pete has such a great personality and makes everyone feel very relaxed. He exceeded our expectations and would definitely recommend him 100%. Thank you Pete for making the memories of our day so special, and I can't wait for my trash the dress shoot.
Elise Bruce, Director, HQ Hair Stylist, Sheffield. (Website, Front of Store Displays & Marketing).
It was fantastic to work with such a passionate and talented photographer. The day went exactly to plan, I received the images really quickly and they really exceeded my expectations. The price was unbeatable and for the same service and standard I would have expected to pay 10 times that amount, I would recommend Pete to all clients and friends. We look forward to working with Photography Zero Eight in the near future.
Mandy & Adam. (Photography Only 3rd July 2010, Cubley Hall, Penistone).
We are truly grateful that Pete was there to capture our special day in his unique, fun-but-professional style. There were times that we weren't even aware that Pete was at the wedding - which is a credit to him. He blended perfectly into the mass of friends and family, which is appropriate as we quickly came to regard him as a friend as much as a photographer, so good was he at putting us at ease. From the first day we met Pete, his enthusiasm was so infectious and his approach so common sense, that we knew that our search for a wedding photographer was over - we'd found our man. Pete's work more than repaid our faith in him. The man is an artist, a perfectionist, and most important of all, a nice guy. A genuine joy to work with.
Sara & Charles. (Gold Package 10th July 2010, Crafton House, Buckinghamshire).
We was very desperate to book Photography Zero Eight as we had heard so much about them and looking at their portfolios. They have such a wide spectrum of photographic skills which we where willing to pay for without hesitation. At one point myself and Charles worried that we could not book due to the amount of work they are doing. They spent the whole day at out wedding photographing us so beautifully, the images are fantastic. We have booked them for Trash the dress shoot.
Laura & Justin. (Wedding Photography, Coffee Table Book & Pre Shoot, 16th July 2010, Hodstock Priory, Nottinghamshire).
From the moment we met Pete we knew we had found our photographer. He listened intently to our ideas and looked with passion through our inspiration boards, gave us loads of wonderful ideas and discussed how he would work with us on the day in order to capture our wedding the way we wanted. We had immediately fell in love with his photography style and the beautiful prints he showed us but for us what truly sets Pete apart from the other photographers we met, is his sheer dedication and enthusiasm to his work. Never have we met anyone so motivated by their profession and so eager to produce above excellent results for their client. On our wedding day Pete was absolutely AMAZING. To us he was there as more than a photographer he became our guest! We knew he was dedicated to our wedding but the fact that we have had so many wonderful comments from our guests at how unbelievably hard working and friendly Pete was made me feel proud to have him there on the day. Our photographs are beautiful- Pete didn’t just take photo’s he captured the spirit of the day and memories that are so close to our hearts and will be for a very long time. We can not thank him enough.
Susan & Guy. (Gold Package 31st July 2010, Rideswell Hall, Chadwell).
It took us along time to find a good photographer, but after meeting Photography Zero Eight, viewing their work and even watched a studio shoot our faith was restored. These guys are so professional and friendly going that bit further with the images. When we opened the box to our album I was so excited and the pictures are so sharp and clear, a mixture of black and whites, colour and those arty ones. Some of our friends have booked Photography Zero Eight since then and are looking forward to their wedding pictures, We would always recommend Pete and the team to anyone.
Natasha & Ian. (Photography Only, Pre & Post Shoot, 7th August 2010, Radisson Blu, Birmingham).
We were lucky enough to book Peter as the photographer for our wedding earlier this year after our original photographer told us in January that he would not be able to do it. So after a panic, we saw a recommendation on a wedding website and thankfully Peter was available! From the first email enquiries through to the big day itself and even beyond, Peter has been nothing but friendly and professional. On our first meeting, we were extremely impressed with his work, attitude and enthusiam. In fact, we've never met someone who is so talented and in love with what he does! At the pre-shoot, Peter and his assistant really put us at ease and we were really looking forward to seeing what they were going to do at the wedding. It was clear Peter had his own ideas about creative ways to capture the esscence of the day being a non-traditional city wedding but he was always listening to what we wanted and our ideas too. On the day itself, Peter was there from breakfast through until well after the first dance, mixing easily with our family and friends and taking photo's that we will treasure forever. When it began to rain heavily just when we were going to go outside to do the group shots, he reacted quickly and calmly and changed to plan B. Nothing phases Peter, he was always one step ahead and made sure we slipped away after dinner to take some of the photo's we had missed out because of the weather and is going to come to do our post shoot soon to take even more! Even before the wedding we were reccomending Photography Zero Eight to friends and family as we trusted him implicitly and that trust was not misplaced. The photographs were with us so quickly and the detail and perfect is evident in every image. We are so glad now that our original plans fell through as we have great photo's and memories as well as making two good friends in Peter and assistant. Thank you guys!
Paula & Jonathan. (Gold 14th August 2010, Private Residence, London).
We were wanting a certain look to our images classy and modern rolled into one, not the typical traditional thing. We found Pete’s work through some friends that he had work for a number of years ago, and was amazed at the styles he has worked in. Our wedding took place within the grounds of our own home adding a real sense of creatively from our own ideas. Pete brought his skills all the way from Sheffield to capture us, with an outstanding ability of camera use mixed with lighting. We did not want to look unnatural like leaping into the air of blowing silly amounts of bubbles, but real classical images with some good post processing. The finished product has a centre place within our family’s heirlooms, we would most recommend the work of Pete’s
Natalie & Darren. (Photography Only 20th August 2010, Sheffield Town Hall, Beauchief Abbey, Otto's and Tapton Park Golf Club).
From two people not usually too comfortable in front of a camera one of the biggest compliments we could give a photographer is how comfortable we felt working with them and Pete certainly delivered on this front. The engagement shoot out in the Peak District was great fun and Pete seemed to pick up on our preferences really quickly, providing us with some great shots. On the wedding day itself Pete interacted really well with us and our guests and was in tune with the atmosphere of the day making the posing of our shots and group shots laidback and fun. We are really pleased with the breadth and variety of the photos Pete captured of our wedding day and would happily recommend Photography Zero Eight to anyone.
Zoe & Craig. (Gold 21st August 2010, Shank Farm, Kent).
We just want to say if was well worth having Photography Zero Eight on board. All the images came out brilliantly, we had so much fun without any stress to our day. Pete worked long and hard not missing any details from close-ups to wide formats of our venue, the images are perfect.
Edele & Benjamin. (Coffee Table Book 27th August 2010, Slaley Hall, Hexham).
Pete at Zero-8 is the epitome of the model professional who's enthusiasm and character shine through in his work and the way he applies himself. Pete was the photographer at our wedding and through his interaction with my wife and the guests he was able to ease our concerns and fears around the big day. The spirit of the day was captured in the photos and the quality of Pete's work is unrivalled. Both my wife and I were ecstatic to receive our photo set and couldn't have been more impressed with the finished product, the process and we were glad to have the pleasure of Petes time and expertise, many thanks.
Marie-clare & Karl. (Full Photography Package 11th September 2010, Wood Lane Countryside Centre, Sheffield).
Dear Pete, Thank you for doing our engagement, boudoir and wedding pics. We are really happy with the variety of the finished images and the way you managed to capture our personalities and the mood of the day. It was great to have a photographer who enjoys his work as much as you do, because it helped to make the sometimes arduous task of the photography fun for all the guests. The engagement pics gave us the opportunity to feel comfortable being photographed and was a really enjoyable day. Its great to have the rights to our images too. We've already recomended you to our friends who you will be photographing next year!
Serwah & Emmanuel.(Full Photography Package 9th October 2010, Camberwell & Crystal Palace, London).
We chose Photography Zero Eight for our large, African London wedding in October 2010. Peter's enthusiasm and passion was obvious from the very first meeting. He visited both venues before the said day to assess them. It was reassuring to know Peter had been there prior to the event. Peter is very talented. We had some excellent and unique shots, professionally edited; we and the family will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Peter! You are not all about the money, like some photographers. All the best to you and the team. Keep up the good work!
Gemma & Stewart. (Full Photography Package 23rd October 2010, The Legacy Oaklands Country House Hotel, Laceby).
Pete did a fantastic job at our wedding. They were with us from early in the morning to late at night and the enthusiasm and passion lasted throughout. The photos that were taken did not feel like a chore and all guests we have spoken to felt the same. Pete made the process of having photos taken very relaxed and the love for his job clearly shows through and rubbed off on ourselves. The children were also able to fell relaxed as Pete made sure he introduced himself to them so that they did not feel embarassed or shy of a person coming to take their pictures. We were pleasantly surprised that not even 24 hours after Pete had left out company, there were photos posted on the website. This was lovely to be able to see a couple of the shots from our professional photographer that quickly. When we received our DVD we were very pleased with the job that Pete had done with the photos and the fact that there are so many to choose from; unlike other photographers who only offer up to 25 pictures from the whole of your day. It would be a pleasure to use Photography08 again in the future and I would highly recommend their services for any occasion.
Neil & Jenni. (Full Photography Package 27th November 2010, 62 Castle Street, Liverpool).
Pete is a talented and innovative photographer with a real passion for his work. From the moment of booking our package, we were impressed with his communication and genuine willingness to 'go the extra mile'. We opted for a mostly 'reportage' style package and were eager to avoid traditional wedding shots. After meeting Pete in advance of the big day, we were reassured that Pete grasped our taste/style and would deliver the pictures we wanted. As requested, Pete blended in with the crowd on the big day and we hardly noticed he was there! We were thrilled with the finished result and wholly impressed with the quality of his work. As soon as you meet Pete, you'll realise what a genuine/decent guy he is. We will have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Pete to friends and family.
Polly & James. (E-Shoot 11th December 2010, Bolton Abbey, Skipton).
We couldn't be happier that we have chosen to use Photography Zero Eight to photograph our special day. Unlike many photographers, we were offered a pre-shoot with Pete, which proved to be a fantastic experience in the beautiful grounds of Bolton Abbey. Not only is Pete a wonderfully creative and talented photographer, but he has that rare ability to just 'get' you, his pictures capture who we truly are and his down to earth, friendly and personable approach is one that we challenge other photographers to better (and we bet they won't come anywhere close). Looking forward to the big day, happy in the knowledge that Pete will be there to capture it (and hopefully share a beer with us as well!).
Gemma. (Pro-Mo Shoot, Image on Disc, January 2011).
I would like to thank Pete for the beautiful images of my daughter. He made her feel really relaxed and the photos are stunning and very natural.
Paul & Laura. (Pro-Mo Shoot, Image on Disc, January 2011).
I took along my 20 month old daughter to a photo shoot for a Bridesmaid dress maker and I was introduced to Pete the photographer. I must say I was a little concerned about taking my daughter to a photo shoot as she is still young, but Pete made me feel at ease and really made Willow feel special. His photography of Willow was great and he worked with her even though she was running all over the place, he was utterly professional and I would recommend him to any of my friends or family. He made Willow feel so special and made the day one that we won't forget. Thank you very much Pete.
Jane & Richard. (Wedding & Album Package January 2011, Newport, Isle of White).
Fantastic images and beautiful album, Pete really pushed himself to give us what we wanted. With the advent of wedding photographers coming out of the woodwork, we only wanted someone who knew what they were doing with a proven track record. See you in 2012 at out best friend's wedding, thanks.
Suzanne Stevenson, Sales Manager. (Marketing Imagery, Cutlers' Hall Hospitality, Sheffield).
Pete is listed as one of our preferred suppliers here at the Cutlers' Hall. He has worked with us to provide some beautiful wedding photographs for marketing purposes. He is very professional and a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any of our brides.
Patricia & Clive. (Wedding & Album Package February 2011, London E14, Private Residence).
We did not want any traditional photographs but just lots of the new style of reportage type. Pete gave us all his time in every way possible, the support and passion was seen right from the consultation. When the album came our whole family could not believe the quality of both the pictures and album, outstanding. We just want to say thanks Pete great job.
Claire & Micheal. (Engagement Shoot March 2011, Podsock Priory, Nottinghamshire).
Thank you Pete, we love the photos. We had a great day out, Pete made us feel relaxed and we can't wait for our wedding day photos now - something I thought I would never say!!! We would highly recommend Pete; his love of photography is clear and he is passonate about getting the right kind of photos and style for you.
Butterflies & Angels. (Marketing Media Imagery, March 2011).
"Pete, these are amazing. It's just how I hoped, but somehow a million times better too, Thank you so much. They're perfect!"
Louisa & Kevin. (Wedding & Album Package April 9th 2011, Filey).
"Pete, our photo's are amazing. You have captured the mood perfectly and you get a real feel for our great location. We can't wait to see the rest of the photo's"
"Exceeded Expectations! From the very first minute we met we knew you would be the person to capture our special day. The whole mood of the day has been captured in each shot and I know we will look at these later in life and remember exactly how we felt at each stage during the day. Your energy and knowledge of photography sets you apart from the rest. We will definately be booking you for every special occassion in the future..."
Laura & John (Full Wedding Package April 21st 2011, Peak District).
Amazing shots in the peaks and good capture of the moment during the confetti throwing. Lots of love to the couple!
Christina & Peter (Full Wedding & Album Package April 23rd 2011, Manchester).
I'm loving the photos already! Can't wait to see more! Thanks so much to you both for a fab day and for capturing it in such beautiful photos.
Polly & James (Full Wedding Package 30th April 2011, Skipton).
James and I have had a fantastic weekend looking at the wedding pictures on the disc that you sent to us - thank you so much for these. We had a family BBQ on Saturday and had a wonderful time looking through the pictures, there was laughter, tears and a lot of charged emotion, we all felt like we were right back at the Devonshire. Thank you so much for all you have done for us, you are a truly talented photographer and we wish you all the very best for the future.
Helen Pepper
"Wow! These are the first wedding pictures I have ever seen that actually capture emotion. Polly and James have more than a record of the day, they have the real essence of it, I suspect the scent will never fade.The picture of Lorimer made me cry, where did my little baby go? when did that cool, self-confident boy emerge? Hx"
Claire & Michael (Full Wedding & Album Package 14th May 2011, Blyth Nottinghamshire).
Pete - Fantastic. Wonderful photographs. Thanks for your help in making the wedding such a great day. You didn't stop working and were always lookng for the next great shot and it really shows - we love the photos and cant wait to see the finished album. Thanks for helping decorate the van - beyond the call of duty we think, we really enjoyed having you there beautiful photographs.
Victoria Green
The pictures are amazing. You totally brought the wedding back to life. They are natural and full of excitement.
Antony Garlick
Brilliant photos, as Vicky said the bride and her bouquet one is amazing! We did wonder a little at first when we saw you were not wearing a suit at the wedding, but then all was explained when we saw you crawling on the floor, dancing and jumping with the kids and lying on the grass in a dark field with a 15 lads all was made clear! Cannot wait to see the rest.
Kirsten Blower
Wow! I genuinely got all choked up seeing these fantastic pictures. Every emotion, scene and event has been captured beautifully. Well done that man!!!
Lyndsey Craine (Model Portfolio Shoot).
Fantastic photographer! Was really great to work with him. He gave really good direction and was really encouraging throughout the shoot, which helped me feel really comfortable! Would love to work with Pete again!
Danni & Ian (Full Wedding & Album Package 16th September 2011, Sheffield).
Fully committed, and unobtrusive....Even though you'd explained how it was going to work - I didn't quite know how it would work as we've never been this involved in a wedding before. Anyway - I totally enjoyed the whole experience. Energetic, Unconventional, Enthusiastic, Perfection, OCD Photography in the nicest possible way. Then point them in the direction of your website and let your work speak for itself!!! You explained about your non conventional style, which is what makes your photos stand out from the competition. You've got your fingers in lots of pies lately - which I think is great!! We recommend you highly!! And everyone we show your photos too, thinks they are great, original and different!!! We couldn't have chosen anyone better!!!
Caroline Drain, Office Manager PHA UK
Pete is an extremely professional and dedicated photographer with a great work ethic. The passion that he shows towards his work is very refreshing and makes him a funny and interesting guy to work with. I love his integrity towards his work and the fact that when I asked him to do a shot he knew wouldn’t work that he said so. The photographs are absolutely stunning and we have a new trade stand, poster campaign and photographs of our Trustees and Members to use for editions of our newsletter and on our website. All this out of one shoot!
Vicky & Diddy, (Full Wedding Shoot 3rd December 2011, Scunthorpe).
Pete is the definition of dedicated. From the moment we made our first enquiry Pete was professional and attentive to our needs for our wedding day, and now we are proud to consider him our friend. Quick to respond to any questions we had and eager to suggest ideas to help us get the best shots for both our Eshoot and our Wedding photos, Pete went above and beyond any preconceived expectations we had about wedding photographers. On our Eshoot day, Pete made my partner feel as ease, photos definitely aren’t his favourite past time and after that date my partner was excited to see the result. On our wedding day we couldn’t fault Pete, due to the bitter cold day, Pete was caring and conscious not to keep us outside too long and was efficient and precise with his shots. He then partied away with us into the night, and guests are still singing his praises to us now! Our photos are beautiful and evoke precise moments of our big day, giving me the ability to live our wedding day over and over again. What more could we ask for. First Class!

Pete is "no snap and shoot photographer". He is a creative individual, who will strive to add an inspired dimension to every photograph he takes. His large client base speaks for itself - from professional publishing organisations through to the man in the street. We would recommend his work.
Annabelle & Mark. (Reportage Wedding Shoot August 2008, Wirksworth & Alison House Cromford).
Zeroeight photographed our wedding in August 2008, and I can honestly say we couldn't be more pleased with the result. Pete was so unobtrusive on the day that sometimes we hardly even knew he was there. He really captured the atmosphere of the day by taking casual photos of us all just enjoying the day, without forcing anyone into any uncomfortable/unnatural poses, which was exactly what we were after, especially with so many children there! Other members of the wedding party and our guests also commented afterwards how friendly Pete was and how he made taking the photos fun rather than the usual chore they are at weddings. The service and help we've received since the wedding regarding extra prints/albums etc has also been excellent. We would 100% recommend Zeroeight to anyone, and can't wait to meet up again soon for some more photos.
Caroline & Darren. (Wedding Package November 2009, The Churchill Hotel York & Peak District).
Pete brought to our wedding day enthusiasm, energy and imagination. From the pre-shoot through to the wedding days itself Pete was creative and professional in his approach. The pre-shoot was a fantastic day and designed to ensure that our wedding day ran as naturally as possible, we couldn’t have been more taken care of! Thank you to Pete for making our special day one to be remembered for years to come.

Hairess. (Hair Fashion, Magazine On Going Projects, Sheffield).
Working with Pete (photography08) was inspirational. Pete is very easy going, creative and professional with his work. Working with us at HAIRESS Pete's approach to our ideas were met with our passion for hairdressing and his passion for photography. Ideas flowed easy from stylist to photographer to model and as quick as the flashing of the camera Pete's friendly nature made working with him a pleasure. The atmosphere of his working environment which he creates is one full of energy and excitement. Pete is very approachable and he has no boundaries to his unique photography, the sky is the limit. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pete to clients, friends and family because his versatility and pricing is unbeatable.
Andrew & Jodie. (Wedding & Album Package February 2010, Leopold Hotel, Sheffield).
Pete has recently completed the photography for our wedding and we have nothing but praise for him. He really went above and beyond what we expected, staying until late into the evening reception which most photographers don't do. Apart from being a dedicated and accomplished photographer he is a really nice guy and both him and his assistant were able to put the guests at ease and obtain the photos without being intrusive. We would definitely recommend him. We received the album in really good time and when it arrived were overjoyed at how it turned out - the quality and finish is outstanding. We have had tons of compliments from everyone who has seen it! It is the perfect album to top off a perfect day, thankyou.
Ross & Bob. (Wedding & Album Package February 27th 2010, Mercure St Paul's Hotel, Sheffield).
Thank you for making our wedding a wonderful day to remember, I would recommend you to anyone. The way that you are there the whole day taking pictures helps make it so special. We never got the feeling of panic from you or your assistant everything felt so relaxed whether that was us or you or a mixture of both. Thank you for making our day special.
Katie & Phil. (Wedding Only Package May 22nd 2010, The Downcliffe House Hotel, Filey).
Peter and team photographed our wedding in May 2010 and we couldn't be happier with the results. They were at the venue before breakfast and stayed until well into the evening reception, and all our guests have commented on how good the images are and also how laid back and easy the group photos were. The preshoot we had in the Peak District was also great and gave us chance to get to know Pete and Josef. We would 110% recommend them to anyone.
Cass & James. (Complete Photography Only June 26th 2010, The Tigers Rugby Ground & Leicester).
Photography08 photographed my wedding in June 2010. Pete is a very creative person and has great ideas to make photography interesting. He was very professional throughout the whole process and during our special day I hardly knew he was there. He involved my children throughout the pre-shoot and allowed them to be part of the process of the shoot as well as staring in it. He is very friendly and when I had my boudoir shoot I was rather nervous, but Pete has such a great personality and makes everyone feel very relaxed. He exceeded our expectations and would definitely recommend him 100%. Thank you Pete for making the memories of our day so special, and I can't wait for my trash the dress shoot.
Elise Bruce, Director, HQ Hair Stylist, Sheffield. (Website, Front of Store Displays & Marketing).
It was fantastic to work with such a passionate and talented photographer. The day went exactly to plan, I received the images really quickly and they really exceeded my expectations. The price was unbeatable and for the same service and standard I would have expected to pay 10 times that amount, I would recommend Pete to all clients and friends. We look forward to working with Photography Zero Eight in the near future.
Mandy & Adam. (Photography Only 3rd July 2010, Cubley Hall, Penistone).
We are truly grateful that Pete was there to capture our special day in his unique, fun-but-professional style. There were times that we weren't even aware that Pete was at the wedding - which is a credit to him. He blended perfectly into the mass of friends and family, which is appropriate as we quickly came to regard him as a friend as much as a photographer, so good was he at putting us at ease. From the first day we met Pete, his enthusiasm was so infectious and his approach so common sense, that we knew that our search for a wedding photographer was over - we'd found our man. Pete's work more than repaid our faith in him. The man is an artist, a perfectionist, and most important of all, a nice guy. A genuine joy to work with.
Sara & Charles. (Gold Package 10th July 2010, Crafton House, Buckinghamshire).
We was very desperate to book Photography Zero Eight as we had heard so much about them and looking at their portfolios. They have such a wide spectrum of photographic skills which we where willing to pay for without hesitation. At one point myself and Charles worried that we could not book due to the amount of work they are doing. They spent the whole day at out wedding photographing us so beautifully, the images are fantastic. We have booked them for Trash the dress shoot.
Laura & Justin. (Wedding Photography, Coffee Table Book & Pre Shoot, 16th July 2010, Hodstock Priory, Nottinghamshire).
From the moment we met Pete we knew we had found our photographer. He listened intently to our ideas and looked with passion through our inspiration boards, gave us loads of wonderful ideas and discussed how he would work with us on the day in order to capture our wedding the way we wanted. We had immediately fell in love with his photography style and the beautiful prints he showed us but for us what truly sets Pete apart from the other photographers we met, is his sheer dedication and enthusiasm to his work. Never have we met anyone so motivated by their profession and so eager to produce above excellent results for their client. On our wedding day Pete was absolutely AMAZING. To us he was there as more than a photographer he became our guest! We knew he was dedicated to our wedding but the fact that we have had so many wonderful comments from our guests at how unbelievably hard working and friendly Pete was made me feel proud to have him there on the day. Our photographs are beautiful- Pete didn’t just take photo’s he captured the spirit of the day and memories that are so close to our hearts and will be for a very long time. We can not thank him enough.
Susan & Guy. (Gold Package 31st July 2010, Rideswell Hall, Chadwell).
It took us along time to find a good photographer, but after meeting Photography Zero Eight, viewing their work and even watched a studio shoot our faith was restored. These guys are so professional and friendly going that bit further with the images. When we opened the box to our album I was so excited and the pictures are so sharp and clear, a mixture of black and whites, colour and those arty ones. Some of our friends have booked Photography Zero Eight since then and are looking forward to their wedding pictures, We would always recommend Pete and the team to anyone.
Natasha & Ian. (Photography Only, Pre & Post Shoot, 7th August 2010, Radisson Blu, Birmingham).
We were lucky enough to book Peter as the photographer for our wedding earlier this year after our original photographer told us in January that he would not be able to do it. So after a panic, we saw a recommendation on a wedding website and thankfully Peter was available! From the first email enquiries through to the big day itself and even beyond, Peter has been nothing but friendly and professional. On our first meeting, we were extremely impressed with his work, attitude and enthusiam. In fact, we've never met someone who is so talented and in love with what he does! At the pre-shoot, Peter and his assistant really put us at ease and we were really looking forward to seeing what they were going to do at the wedding. It was clear Peter had his own ideas about creative ways to capture the esscence of the day being a non-traditional city wedding but he was always listening to what we wanted and our ideas too. On the day itself, Peter was there from breakfast through until well after the first dance, mixing easily with our family and friends and taking photo's that we will treasure forever. When it began to rain heavily just when we were going to go outside to do the group shots, he reacted quickly and calmly and changed to plan B. Nothing phases Peter, he was always one step ahead and made sure we slipped away after dinner to take some of the photo's we had missed out because of the weather and is going to come to do our post shoot soon to take even more! Even before the wedding we were reccomending Photography Zero Eight to friends and family as we trusted him implicitly and that trust was not misplaced. The photographs were with us so quickly and the detail and perfect is evident in every image. We are so glad now that our original plans fell through as we have great photo's and memories as well as making two good friends in Peter and assistant. Thank you guys!
Paula & Jonathan. (Gold 14th August 2010, Private Residence, London).
We were wanting a certain look to our images classy and modern rolled into one, not the typical traditional thing. We found Pete’s work through some friends that he had work for a number of years ago, and was amazed at the styles he has worked in. Our wedding took place within the grounds of our own home adding a real sense of creatively from our own ideas. Pete brought his skills all the way from Sheffield to capture us, with an outstanding ability of camera use mixed with lighting. We did not want to look unnatural like leaping into the air of blowing silly amounts of bubbles, but real classical images with some good post processing. The finished product has a centre place within our family’s heirlooms, we would most recommend the work of Pete’s
Natalie & Darren. (Photography Only 20th August 2010, Sheffield Town Hall, Beauchief Abbey, Otto's and Tapton Park Golf Club).
From two people not usually too comfortable in front of a camera one of the biggest compliments we could give a photographer is how comfortable we felt working with them and Pete certainly delivered on this front. The engagement shoot out in the Peak District was great fun and Pete seemed to pick up on our preferences really quickly, providing us with some great shots. On the wedding day itself Pete interacted really well with us and our guests and was in tune with the atmosphere of the day making the posing of our shots and group shots laidback and fun. We are really pleased with the breadth and variety of the photos Pete captured of our wedding day and would happily recommend Photography Zero Eight to anyone.
Zoe & Craig. (Gold 21st August 2010, Shank Farm, Kent).
We just want to say if was well worth having Photography Zero Eight on board. All the images came out brilliantly, we had so much fun without any stress to our day. Pete worked long and hard not missing any details from close-ups to wide formats of our venue, the images are perfect.
Edele & Benjamin. (Coffee Table Book 27th August 2010, Slaley Hall, Hexham).
Pete at Zero-8 is the epitome of the model professional who's enthusiasm and character shine through in his work and the way he applies himself. Pete was the photographer at our wedding and through his interaction with my wife and the guests he was able to ease our concerns and fears around the big day. The spirit of the day was captured in the photos and the quality of Pete's work is unrivalled. Both my wife and I were ecstatic to receive our photo set and couldn't have been more impressed with the finished product, the process and we were glad to have the pleasure of Petes time and expertise, many thanks.
Marie-clare & Karl. (Full Photography Package 11th September 2010, Wood Lane Countryside Centre, Sheffield).
Dear Pete, Thank you for doing our engagement, boudoir and wedding pics. We are really happy with the variety of the finished images and the way you managed to capture our personalities and the mood of the day. It was great to have a photographer who enjoys his work as much as you do, because it helped to make the sometimes arduous task of the photography fun for all the guests. The engagement pics gave us the opportunity to feel comfortable being photographed and was a really enjoyable day. Its great to have the rights to our images too. We've already recomended you to our friends who you will be photographing next year!
Serwah & Emmanuel.(Full Photography Package 9th October 2010, Camberwell & Crystal Palace, London).
We chose Photography Zero Eight for our large, African London wedding in October 2010. Peter's enthusiasm and passion was obvious from the very first meeting. He visited both venues before the said day to assess them. It was reassuring to know Peter had been there prior to the event. Peter is very talented. We had some excellent and unique shots, professionally edited; we and the family will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Peter! You are not all about the money, like some photographers. All the best to you and the team. Keep up the good work!
Gemma & Stewart. (Full Photography Package 23rd October 2010, The Legacy Oaklands Country House Hotel, Laceby).
Pete did a fantastic job at our wedding. They were with us from early in the morning to late at night and the enthusiasm and passion lasted throughout. The photos that were taken did not feel like a chore and all guests we have spoken to felt the same. Pete made the process of having photos taken very relaxed and the love for his job clearly shows through and rubbed off on ourselves. The children were also able to fell relaxed as Pete made sure he introduced himself to them so that they did not feel embarassed or shy of a person coming to take their pictures. We were pleasantly surprised that not even 24 hours after Pete had left out company, there were photos posted on the website. This was lovely to be able to see a couple of the shots from our professional photographer that quickly. When we received our DVD we were very pleased with the job that Pete had done with the photos and the fact that there are so many to choose from; unlike other photographers who only offer up to 25 pictures from the whole of your day. It would be a pleasure to use Photography08 again in the future and I would highly recommend their services for any occasion.
Neil & Jenni. (Full Photography Package 27th November 2010, 62 Castle Street, Liverpool).
Pete is a talented and innovative photographer with a real passion for his work. From the moment of booking our package, we were impressed with his communication and genuine willingness to 'go the extra mile'. We opted for a mostly 'reportage' style package and were eager to avoid traditional wedding shots. After meeting Pete in advance of the big day, we were reassured that Pete grasped our taste/style and would deliver the pictures we wanted. As requested, Pete blended in with the crowd on the big day and we hardly noticed he was there! We were thrilled with the finished result and wholly impressed with the quality of his work. As soon as you meet Pete, you'll realise what a genuine/decent guy he is. We will have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Pete to friends and family.
Polly & James. (E-Shoot 11th December 2010, Bolton Abbey, Skipton).
We couldn't be happier that we have chosen to use Photography Zero Eight to photograph our special day. Unlike many photographers, we were offered a pre-shoot with Pete, which proved to be a fantastic experience in the beautiful grounds of Bolton Abbey. Not only is Pete a wonderfully creative and talented photographer, but he has that rare ability to just 'get' you, his pictures capture who we truly are and his down to earth, friendly and personable approach is one that we challenge other photographers to better (and we bet they won't come anywhere close). Looking forward to the big day, happy in the knowledge that Pete will be there to capture it (and hopefully share a beer with us as well!).
Gemma. (Pro-Mo Shoot, Image on Disc, January 2011).
I would like to thank Pete for the beautiful images of my daughter. He made her feel really relaxed and the photos are stunning and very natural.
Paul & Laura. (Pro-Mo Shoot, Image on Disc, January 2011).
I took along my 20 month old daughter to a photo shoot for a Bridesmaid dress maker and I was introduced to Pete the photographer. I must say I was a little concerned about taking my daughter to a photo shoot as she is still young, but Pete made me feel at ease and really made Willow feel special. His photography of Willow was great and he worked with her even though she was running all over the place, he was utterly professional and I would recommend him to any of my friends or family. He made Willow feel so special and made the day one that we won't forget. Thank you very much Pete.
Jane & Richard. (Wedding & Album Package January 2011, Newport, Isle of White).
Fantastic images and beautiful album, Pete really pushed himself to give us what we wanted. With the advent of wedding photographers coming out of the woodwork, we only wanted someone who knew what they were doing with a proven track record. See you in 2012 at out best friend's wedding, thanks.
Suzanne Stevenson, Sales Manager. (Marketing Imagery, Cutlers' Hall Hospitality, Sheffield).
Pete is listed as one of our preferred suppliers here at the Cutlers' Hall. He has worked with us to provide some beautiful wedding photographs for marketing purposes. He is very professional and a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any of our brides.
Patricia & Clive. (Wedding & Album Package February 2011, London E14, Private Residence).
We did not want any traditional photographs but just lots of the new style of reportage type. Pete gave us all his time in every way possible, the support and passion was seen right from the consultation. When the album came our whole family could not believe the quality of both the pictures and album, outstanding. We just want to say thanks Pete great job.
Claire & Micheal. (Engagement Shoot March 2011, Podsock Priory, Nottinghamshire).
Thank you Pete, we love the photos. We had a great day out, Pete made us feel relaxed and we can't wait for our wedding day photos now - something I thought I would never say!!! We would highly recommend Pete; his love of photography is clear and he is passonate about getting the right kind of photos and style for you.
Butterflies & Angels. (Marketing Media Imagery, March 2011).
"Pete, these are amazing. It's just how I hoped, but somehow a million times better too, Thank you so much. They're perfect!"
Louisa & Kevin. (Wedding & Album Package April 9th 2011, Filey).
"Pete, our photo's are amazing. You have captured the mood perfectly and you get a real feel for our great location. We can't wait to see the rest of the photo's"
"Exceeded Expectations! From the very first minute we met we knew you would be the person to capture our special day. The whole mood of the day has been captured in each shot and I know we will look at these later in life and remember exactly how we felt at each stage during the day. Your energy and knowledge of photography sets you apart from the rest. We will definately be booking you for every special occassion in the future..."
Laura & John (Full Wedding Package April 21st 2011, Peak District).
Amazing shots in the peaks and good capture of the moment during the confetti throwing. Lots of love to the couple!
Christina & Peter (Full Wedding & Album Package April 23rd 2011, Manchester).
I'm loving the photos already! Can't wait to see more! Thanks so much to you both for a fab day and for capturing it in such beautiful photos.
Polly & James (Full Wedding Package 30th April 2011, Skipton).
James and I have had a fantastic weekend looking at the wedding pictures on the disc that you sent to us - thank you so much for these. We had a family BBQ on Saturday and had a wonderful time looking through the pictures, there was laughter, tears and a lot of charged emotion, we all felt like we were right back at the Devonshire. Thank you so much for all you have done for us, you are a truly talented photographer and we wish you all the very best for the future.
Helen Pepper
"Wow! These are the first wedding pictures I have ever seen that actually capture emotion. Polly and James have more than a record of the day, they have the real essence of it, I suspect the scent will never fade.The picture of Lorimer made me cry, where did my little baby go? when did that cool, self-confident boy emerge? Hx"
Claire & Michael (Full Wedding & Album Package 14th May 2011, Blyth Nottinghamshire).
Pete - Fantastic. Wonderful photographs. Thanks for your help in making the wedding such a great day. You didn't stop working and were always lookng for the next great shot and it really shows - we love the photos and cant wait to see the finished album. Thanks for helping decorate the van - beyond the call of duty we think, we really enjoyed having you there beautiful photographs.
Victoria Green
The pictures are amazing. You totally brought the wedding back to life. They are natural and full of excitement.
Antony Garlick
Brilliant photos, as Vicky said the bride and her bouquet one is amazing! We did wonder a little at first when we saw you were not wearing a suit at the wedding, but then all was explained when we saw you crawling on the floor, dancing and jumping with the kids and lying on the grass in a dark field with a 15 lads all was made clear! Cannot wait to see the rest.
Kirsten Blower
Wow! I genuinely got all choked up seeing these fantastic pictures. Every emotion, scene and event has been captured beautifully. Well done that man!!!
Lyndsey Craine (Model Portfolio Shoot).
Fantastic photographer! Was really great to work with him. He gave really good direction and was really encouraging throughout the shoot, which helped me feel really comfortable! Would love to work with Pete again!
Danni & Ian (Full Wedding & Album Package 16th September 2011, Sheffield).
Fully committed, and unobtrusive....Even though you'd explained how it was going to work - I didn't quite know how it would work as we've never been this involved in a wedding before. Anyway - I totally enjoyed the whole experience. Energetic, Unconventional, Enthusiastic, Perfection, OCD Photography in the nicest possible way. Then point them in the direction of your website and let your work speak for itself!!! You explained about your non conventional style, which is what makes your photos stand out from the competition. You've got your fingers in lots of pies lately - which I think is great!! We recommend you highly!! And everyone we show your photos too, thinks they are great, original and different!!! We couldn't have chosen anyone better!!!
Caroline Drain, Office Manager PHA UK
Pete is an extremely professional and dedicated photographer with a great work ethic. The passion that he shows towards his work is very refreshing and makes him a funny and interesting guy to work with. I love his integrity towards his work and the fact that when I asked him to do a shot he knew wouldn’t work that he said so. The photographs are absolutely stunning and we have a new trade stand, poster campaign and photographs of our Trustees and Members to use for editions of our newsletter and on our website. All this out of one shoot!
Vicky & Diddy, (Full Wedding Shoot 3rd December 2011, Scunthorpe).
Pete is the definition of dedicated. From the moment we made our first enquiry Pete was professional and attentive to our needs for our wedding day, and now we are proud to consider him our friend. Quick to respond to any questions we had and eager to suggest ideas to help us get the best shots for both our Eshoot and our Wedding photos, Pete went above and beyond any preconceived expectations we had about wedding photographers. On our Eshoot day, Pete made my partner feel as ease, photos definitely aren’t his favourite past time and after that date my partner was excited to see the result. On our wedding day we couldn’t fault Pete, due to the bitter cold day, Pete was caring and conscious not to keep us outside too long and was efficient and precise with his shots. He then partied away with us into the night, and guests are still singing his praises to us now! Our photos are beautiful and evoke precise moments of our big day, giving me the ability to live our wedding day over and over again. What more could we ask for. First Class!
