Sam and I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you both for last Saturday. Our day was more perfect than we could have ever imagined and we honestly could not have done it so calmly without the help and organisation from the both of you! You were both such big helps on the day and you went above and beyond to capture our big day.
We really want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything!

[Raksmey Photography] captured our wedding in April 2025 and we would absolutely recommend them! True professionals who work in a kind and friendly manner. Our wedding photos were delivered so quickly and edited beautifully as a collection. We are truly grateful we found Smey and Doug at a local wedding fayre as they captured our special day as memories we will cherish forever.

Not only were the final pictures incredible but Smey and Doug really provided a 5-star service all-around - reassuring us, pointing out things we may not have considered about the day's schedule and just genuinely being a pair of lovely, friendly guys......
We really felt like they listened to us and there were times when they blended into the background so seamlessly that we felt like we could just be ourselves and trust that they would capture the best possible shots they could.
10/10 - would highly recommend.

Smey & Doug were amazing on our wedding day. They were very professional, lovely and polite. I was really happy that Smey suggested different poses to get the perfect shots and wasn't worried about advising my guests what to do and where to stand. Doug was so kind in helping my family find guests for photos while I was busy getting my photos taken by Smey. The whole day everywhere I looked Smey and Doug were there getting photos of our special day. I also loved that if I wanted a certain photo, they were more than happy to do it. My husband and I were very lucky with the weather and we are so happy they suggested a sunset photoshoot. All our guests said they were both wonderful. I still can't believe how affordable it was to book Raksmey Photography for our wedding day. If anyone is getting married, I highly advise booking Smey and Doug.

Smey and Doug are wonderful photographers who made our engagement weekend so special! As a couple who had not had professional photos taken before, they made us feel so comfortable and the result was a beautiful collection of memories. They are friendly, calm, extremely skilled, and seem to truly love helping others commemorate their events. Highly recommend booking them!
