Wedding Photography, Wellingborough

From first contact Clive offered an exceptional service, great communication and tailored to individual wishes. This made our engagement photos and wedding day package perfect with everyone commenting on how wonderful the photos were and also how attentive Clive was on the day. Highly recommended and affordable packages to suit all needs. Even received extra touches we weren't expecting. Very impressive. We will continue to praise and recommend to all  Dave and Clare Lee

Wedding Photography Stowe Park & Northampton,

From our first meeting, we fell in love, with our professional photographer! He made us so at ease, showed us examples of previous work and ideas. We needed both pre-wedding photos to use for our receptions, as well as the event itself. Whilst we talked about doing a short pre-wedding session, Clive ended up spending almost the whole day with us and seemed to enjoy being driven around Stowe Gardens on a buggy, even though it was a very cold February day. He helped keep our spirits up and we barely noticed the cold as a result, as we rushed through different spots and even clothes changes! We were more than happy to have Clive be our wedding day photographer and he was very flexible on this despite us taking up so much of his time in the earlier shoot. He gave us plenty of advice (how to walk like a model, where to put your hands!) and at times during the wedding it was as if he wasn't even there! He was also opportunistic, reacting to what's going on to take shots that you may not be expecting but you'll still enjoy when you see them (like the attached photo of us waving at people on a Zoom of the wedding). The shots we received are going great around the family, everyone loves them and they were delivered quickly in multiple formats (online, usb, colour & b/w) we would definitely recommend Clive to anyone who's looking, and will likely use him again in the future for events we may have. Completely professional, puts you at ease, knows his stuff, friendly, nice and easy to talk to. He's also happy to go with your choices if you have your own mind on what you want or what you don't want, but very helpful with suggestions if you don't. We can't thank him enough for capturing our special day and the special memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Clive! Fa & Chris.  

Wedding Photography, Bordesley Park, Redditch

Clive was brilliant! From many re- arranged dates due to Covid and rained off engagement shoots, Clive always made sure he could fit us in and didn't book any new clients until he had accommodated all his current ones! Clive's photos are exceptional and he made us feel at ease all day. He took so many beautiful, natural photos and sent them all to us in black and white and colour. We had over 2,000 to choose from! I will be recommending Clive to everyone and can't thank him enough for helping us make so many memories of our perfect day.  Zara & Luke

Guildhall Wedding Photography and Picturedrome Live band

Clive is quite simply , everything you'd want from a professional wedding photographer. From the minute we met for our pure wedding practise shoot, he was brilliant. He explained the poses he'd ask us to adopt on the big day, asked us who and what we'd like captured and suggested different ways to capture the perfect pictures. In the day, he took the pictures without us really knowing he was there. The quality of the images he supplied, in both colour and B&W are exceptional. The lighting, the mood, the laughter, the dancing. We've had his images put into a printed book, and rest assured, they'll make us smile forever. Thank you Clive. You are fantastic!  Glen cousner

Once Upon the Southdowns Way book cover shoot

I asked you to take some photos of me which I needed for the back of my latest book. With a smile on your face, and a sparkle in your eye, you knew what I wanted before I did! Without hesitation, you asked me to meet you at the historic building of Delapre Abbey in Northamtpon and the setting was perfect. We took photos in a variety of locations, which included the lake, the woods and the grounds of the abbey. At one point you even got down and dirty which resulted in you being covered in mud and dust, just to get teh perfect shot! I was impressed with oyur creativity and your determination to get everything just right. You wanted the photo to say "come with me on this journey" and that is exactly what the photos portrayed. I posted a selection of photos on Facebook as I was spoilt for choice. Over 170 people complimented the photos which wwas a huge exposure for me, and this was all down to your expertise. Eventually I chose a headshot for the back of my book and I love it! Thank you for your professionalism, dedication to the task and for listening to what I was looking for. You are hugely talented and I cannot recommend your services highly enough. Julia Doherty, Adventure Geek

Richard Davies Family Photography

I would like to highly recommend Clive of Profound Image Photography to anyone in need of a professional photographer for any occassion. Clive has been extremely flexible agreeing to come to my house on a Sunday to photograph me and my family. I have to be honest I had proper man flu and was struggling and entitled children (step-children were ok!) couldn't be bothered to get ready for the photoshoot. Clive not only made the whole photoshoot fun for us all he made everyone feel at easewhilst also suggesting and taking some amazing pictures. Everyone was smiling throughout the shoot and we all enjoyed the rare occassion of being together at the same time and having fun. Everyone was buzzing after Clive left which never happens especially on a Sunday! We all live at a fast pace these days and life has a habit of passing us by. So whilst Clive is a brilliant wedding photographer he has the rare ability to capture special moments whith you and your loved ones too and at an exceptionally reasonalbe price. Why wouldn't you book a family photo shoot right now? Clive you are a true professional that cares about your clients. Brilliant! thanks again. Richard Davies, Collingtree

Sandler Training Silverstone, Headshot Photography

I recently had the great pleasure of having Clive shoot my first "corporate" headshot. His attention to detail, professional knowledge and patience made the whole experience a pleasure. The images he captured were a great reflection of my personality and really lived up to the expectations of my brief. I would have no hesitation in recommending Clives services to anyone who wants to have their story told in a single image.  Mike Guest, Managing Director, Sandler Training Silverstone

Samantha & Matt Wedding Photography

Wow. We already knew of his great work from our engagement shoot (highly reccomended). Clive captured our wedding day from start to finish even helping to entertain the 2 bridesmaids as they waited for their hair to be done. There was nothing unusual planned but he has captured moments with family and friends that we didn't even know about. Patient with the cheekiest of children and with a very large family going in all directions he captured beautiful memories for everyone to enjoy not just us. Everyone has commented on the quality and quirkiness of the images and how amazing and accommodating he was. I did not feel made to pose (well apart from those I asked for) or self conscious. The special touch with the usb stick just brought back the smiles after our honeymoon. Thank you from both us and our families for capturing our day. Samantha & Matt

Thandeka & Family Photography

I rarely write reviews, but after my experience with Clive I had to. From the beginning, Clive was just amazing to communicate with, he responded to my emails and listened to my ideas I had for the photoshoot. He also advised us to wear neutral colours since we would be shooting outside, and I’m so glad we listened because the pictures were just brilliant. On the day, unfortunately we were a tad late, yet Clive still got to the location on time; he was gracious when we finally met, and the best part was not only had he picked out the best places for the day (it was expected to rain on the day) but he blended right in with my family. We were so comfortable that it showed in our pictures (relaxed, fun and happy). He was and is a great professional, very informative and great at what he does. Since it was my moms birthday he created something special for her; he didn’t have to but he did which tells you how thoughtful he is! I can’t wait to see our pictures, it was a truly profound experience for us. Thank you so much Clive, I am looking forward to having you to future events.  Thandeka.

Emma’s Wedding Photography at Fawlsey Hall

Dear Clive. Sincere apologies for the delay on writing to you but I’m sure you will appreciate three days solid partying has slowed me down somewhat. I don’t quite know how to begin to thank you for what you did on Saturday. It is all to easy to bandy superlatives around but these can only sound glib and superfluous in your case. You transcended any level of excellence and far exceeded any expectations which were already high. Everyone commented on the way you got into the flow of the day and always had a massive infectious smile on your face. We chose you for this most central role for this very reason and you quite simply nailed it. Jane and I felt we had an old friend on board who just instinctively knew how to handle the day. We cannot wait to see the photographs and would very much like, as I said on Saturday, to take you and your Wife out to dinner as a small token of our sincere appreciation. Clive, I’m at risk of waffling on now so to close - a million thanks, you were central to the day. My very warmest regards. Nick. Ps thanks for the intro to Jazz Colossus, they were absolutely epic! Nick. Nick Swan (Father of the bride)

Family Photography

Dear Clive. We received our images today it is absolutely perfect. We were amazed at how lovely the images were but this has blown them out the water. We can never thank you enough Clive for the whole experience from start to finish. Would 100% recommend you to anyone nothing is too much trouble thanks again x Martine Thompson

Clive you true gent!!! Wedding Photography

When I first started to organise and plan my wedding I always thought my photographer would be an outsider looking in on my wedding with no real idea of what I truly wanted and expected.....then I met you...and my visions changed...it wasn't like have a photographer at my wedding it felt like my best friend was at my wedding taking photos. You were 100% on my page. Rather than having being on the outside looking in, you were on the inside looking out. You didn't capture images, you captured feeling and emotions, excitement and laughter and most of all you capture martin and I as we are, as a couple day in day out, making each other laugh and smile, joking around and loving one another for who we are. You capture my children and the moments of serenity we share with them and our loved ones, those moments where nothing else matters and nothing else is thought of. Everything went by so quickly during the and when I received the first few images from you I cried, I got to replay my special day and remember the moments and how I felt and what I was thinking. You went above and beyond for us more than once and I honestly can't thankyou enough for everything you put into my wedding and trust me it's all been noticed, your so naturally talented at what you do, you make it look easy!! This one post will never be log enough for the gratitude and respect that I have for you. These will not be the last photos you take of me and my family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Good luck at the awards, have a lovely trip.  Toni Streeton

Bespoke Xmas Card

We would like to express our thanks and appreciation for helping us create our wonderful bespoke family christmas card. We have many family traditions and each year for Christmas I scour the internet for inspiration and then hate to meticulously plan the photoshoot with James and the kids. Well this year you took the stress away from me, all I had to do was show you the picture I wanted to create, you turned up, cool and calm, dealing with my children and took everything in your stride. We are so happy with your card and will be wholeheartedly recommending your services to others. Kam Kandola, Energise

Family Photography

Clive is such a talented photographer. My family have used him many times in the past from capturing my graduation, family photo shoots and sports images of my sons. Clive's images are unique he truely has a "gift" and is passionate about his work. Above all he makes you feel at ease. I highly recommend Clive and wouldn't use any other photographer. Lisa Tibbles, Norhtampton

Family Photos

I would like to place on record my sincere thanks to you regrading the two photography commissions you recently undertook for me.

Not only are the resulting photos excellent and exactly what was required, but I could see quite clearly how much personal pride you take in your work. You also have that special knack for putting your 'models' at ease - not everyone feels comfortable in front of a camera, but you made the whole experience enjoyable and good fun. Everyone involved is very happy with both the family portrait and the business group shot, and I have to add that it was great value for the cash involved.

Well done, and my best wished for your continued success.

Yours sincerely,  Martin Cronin
