An email I have been veeery anxious to receive! But after making a comforting coffee and psyching myself enough to open it, I am so overwhelmed with all of the amazing things my couples kindly said about me!

These awards are like the Golden Globes for workers of the wedding industry, it’s a huge deal and I am so grateful to be a part of it! I am grateful I was nominated for an award, and even more so to be a Wedding Photographer of the Year award regional finalist.

Positive feedback

The positive feedback I received from my couples took my breath away! I always knew my clients were amazing, but this really was staggering!

“Aimee was incredible from start to finish, all guests commented on how great she was – especially with little ones. All photos were stunning and captured our day perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for better. We wanted natural photos and Aimee achieved more than we could’ve imagined. Rates were extremely reasonable, quality of product was above 10! Super fast turn around too on photo edits (which was a huge bonus!) genuinely cannot fault Aimee & we recommend her to everyone we can.” – Katie

“So meeting Aimee at the wedding fare we knew straight away we wanted her to capture our day, she wasn’t in our faces telling us what we needed. Aimee was a huge hit with every she went above and beyond even to helping me in and out of my dress, aimee made me and my family feel at ease all the way through her 12 hours, her work is amazing the photos she’s captured everything we wanted and more I have recommended aimee to other brides as she’s amazing thank you Aimee again for our capturing our day” – Yasmin

“My vote is Aimee, because she made our special day go so much smoother with her “i’ll make it happen” attitude. Being on chemo at the time Aimee really did get the best of an upsetting image. So much so we have her photography hung on our wall. Amazing work, all round great lady, exceptional skills and super patience. Thank you so much, again, Love The Goodwins” – Luke

“We only required a photographer for an hour and Aimee fit the bill, providing all images fully edited included in the price. We had previews available around 5 hours after they were taken and all final images the same evening. Our optional usb was delivered 4 days later, including a personal touch from our day. Aimee made us feel so relaxed and it shows in our photos, we didn’t feel posed and everything is so natural” – Rebecca

“Can not reccomend Aimee enough, she was very intuitive and put you at ease, she was not pushy at all and was able to gel with straight away. I’m so grateful for the shots she got and grateful, she went above and beyond to support” – Anonymous

“Aimee was amazing she was easy to reach out to when needed to ask questions, We sent Aimee photos we would like to copy for our wedding photos, and thats what she did. Our photos when we got them back was amazing and I love every single one of them.” – Anonymous

“From the very first conversation Aimee was just so easy to get along with. On the day she put everyone at ease and got the most camera shy family members feeling comfortable. Aimee listened to everything we wanted and gave us so much more! All our guest say that they never felt like they had to pose or really noticed Aimee taking photos, but she was always there capturing the most pure moments. Our memory stick box was perfect, even had a leaf from the tree we were married under attached to it” – Claire

“We could not have dreamt of having a better videographer than Aimee. We only booked her a few weeks before our wedding. We were contacted the same day we sent our request, went through the package and what was involved etc and we booked her. She made us feel so at ease the whole day, she captured every magical moment and more. We got our mini video plus 150 stills back within a few days and the whole edited video within 2 weeks. Amazing. I honestly cannot recommend Aimee enough. Superstar!” – Rebecca

Not only her excellent quality of photos but her character and how she is as a person really made the day fun, special and unique.

“Aimee is absolutely amazing! My wedding was only booked and organised in 3 months. I contacted Aimee, as her photos was amazingly natural and not extremely edited. I didn’t think she’d be able to get me in. But I was lucky! As the wedding was booked within such short timing. Amiee really did work her socks off with me to get everything in place before the big day. Aimee was amazing all day and the photos and video was out this world!! Honestly Aimee is amazing” – Paige

Nothing too much trouble for her and she captured our wedding in a way that was natural and gorgeous!

You get so much more than a photographer and I really hope she wins” – Anonymous

“Aimee was super helpful from the very start, I hate photos being taken but she couldn’t have made me feel more confident on the day, she captured our day perfectly and it shows in every photo! Had some fantastic suggestions on the day (zip line?) and our photos and videos came out amazing! And to top off the most amazing day, just as I was getting in bed up pops an email with some highlights from the day and wow was we blown away. If that isn’t dedication I don’t know what is! 100% the best!” – Lauren

“Aimee was amazing! Everyone loved my photos” – Ayeza

“Aimee Lince Photography was perfect for our wedding. Not only did she make me and my husband, who are both socially awkward, relax she also included our shy niece by letting her take picture of us all on her camera. Always being there at the right moments she managed to take really natural expressions of my family and friends and these are wonderful. Even finding and keeping us a gift of the day to remember. She is brilliant and we couldn’t of asked for more.” – Anonymous

“Aimee was so kind and professional, she went above and beyond in every way possible and exceeded my expectations by miles. She helped calm my nerves, help my husband relax and produced the most amazing photos and memories for us. Can’t thank her enough! So deserving of winning!” – Rebecca

Aimee has been in touch throughout the whole process to keep us informed of progress and has turned around the our full film in 8 days which was beyond our expectations. Aimee deserves every recognition for all her hard work, dedication, passion and just being such an amazing videographer.” – Anonymous

“Aimee is an outstanding photographer and very professional from the beginning of the process to the end. She makes you feel comfortable and is friendly which I think is very important expecially if you don’t usually like having your picture taken. The quality of her work in the time she produces the photos is unreal. She was also very quick to answer any questions I had in the run up to the wedding which puts any bride at ease. Me and my partner would highly recommend her as a photographer.” – Anonymous

“Amazing!!! Me and my husband had our wedding on the 15/09/23! Aimee was everything, she didn’t just film our day she got involved in making sure we was ok, we was comfortable and most in important enjoying our day. She was patient and thorough in making sure she got the best video we could ask for and wanted! I am honestly so happy I decided to choose Aimee, but not only that to get the day filmed! We have just watched our film and my heart
sunk with joy, I had tears in my eyes!” – Anonymous

“None to add, Aimee is spot on!” – Katie

“Absolutely nothing she was amazing and did everything we wanted her to” – Yasmin

“This is an extremely hard one, honestly… I can’t think of anything I’d ask more of. Nailed it” – Luke

“Don’t be afraid to tell anyone trying to take photos with their mobile to stop. My brother was one of those annoying guests – Aimee did ask him to move but don’t be afraid to tell them to stop completely. As the bride – I am paying for professional photos, I don’t care if my guests get upset, I just want my professional photos to look good” – Rebecca

“Honestly couldn’t think of anything Aimee could do better.” – Anonymous

“I feel Aimee should offer instead of 1 hour sessions, 1 hour 30 min sessions, although the hour maybe be enough for a registry office wedding for a church wedding I think 1 hour is really pushing for time and although there is a option to purchase longer hours of session the 1 hour 30 mins would give couples that bit of breathing space and time to enjoy their couples shoot without the rush and also a great option if only still wanting the photographer for a short amount of time?” – Anonymous

(Aimee here! I just wanted to clarify for new clients that I no longer offer a 1-hour wedding photography session. I originally introduced the 1 hour package to make beautiful photographs more accessible to people on a lower budget and to offer a helping hand to couples whose weddings were cancelled due to the pandemic. Even though I’ve never ended a session without checking the couple were happy, I totally agree no one wants that stress or panic at the back of their mind, including me! As of 2024, wedding packages now start at 8 hours, and my custom quote option is still available if you’d prefer a shorter session.)
