Unprompted review
Budget Photography, photographed my special birthday and were brilliant!
I booked Shen to photograph my 50th birthday. He was absolutely amazing - responsive, friendly and easy to deal with from the start and very reasonable in terms of price. He arrived early and took photo's from the beginning - people commented on how good he was - unobtrusive, but always there spotting perfect picture opportunities non stop throughout my event. I ended up with over 500 really lovely photos of my special day - he really captured the moments that I will cherish and there were a good number of photos of each of my individual friends and family members. I am really pleased with the outcome and would not hesitate to book Shen/Budget Photography again or recommend them to others.

Excellent service, great communication and beautiful photographs.
I booked Budget Photographer London to capture my proposal in Canary Wharf and couldn't be happier with the service.
Communication was excellent, everything went smoothly on the day, and the photographer was very discreet. The photos turned out amazing and captured such a special moment for us.
Thank you to Shen and the team! I would definitely recommend them.

Amazing Experience
We had a wonderful experience with She Said Yes in London and Shen. From the first contact, everything was handled professionally and with great attention to detail.
Shen was not only an excellent photographer and videographer, but he also helped us a lot with the organization of the event, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.
The final photos and videos were absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations. Every special moment was captured perfectly, and the quality of the work was outstanding.
We are extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend She Said Yes in London and Shen to anyone looking for a memorable and professional proposal or special event experience.

He luckily had some availability and wow - we were absolutely blown away by the whole service. Such a lovely guy who bought such positive vibes to our special day, took more photos than we could have imagined, all of which were absolutely amazing, so beautiful and best decision ever to use Shen! All of our 16 guests said the same.

Great headshots
Shen did an amazing job with my headshots. The whole session only took a few minutes, but the results are genuinely outstanding. He made me feel comfortable straight away and gave just enough direction to get the best shots without it feeling forced.
The photos look sharp, professional and perfect for LinkedIn. I’m really impressed with how quickly everything was done and the quality delivered in such a short time. Highly recommend Shen if you need top tier headshots.

Beautiful Maternity Photoshoot Experience
Shen did an excellent job with our maternity photoshoot. He arrived right on time and immediately made the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable for both me and my pregnant wife.

He was flexible with our ideas, patient throughout the session, and clearly skilled at capturing beautiful moments. The photos turned out amazing, and we were very happy with the results.
