Very happy customer

We hired a camera and lens for our wedding and we couldn't of found a better company. Stephen has been so helpful during all our communications. The ordering process was very straight forward and the service received very professional. The equipment arrived really well packaged, with full instructions on how to return the hire kit. The camera itself was of very good quality and well looked after. We would definitely use Limelight again and recommend to anyone looking to hire photography equipment.

Returning customer

This was my second time using limelight, the service and communication from Stephen was exceptional once again. The Sony A7IV I rented was sent out a few days early to ensure I had it in time for my weekend shoot and although there was a few technical difficulties (potentially on my part) Stephen was very patient and remedied them super fast. Limelight will be my go to camera rental from now on for sure 👌

Best hire experience!

Had a really easy and efficient hire experience from Limelight last week. I go through a lot of hires every year and this is by far the best deal and service I've received. R5 body was brand new and delivery and return service was super easy. I'd be using this hire service often! Thank you

Excellent Service

Required some good quality camera hire equipment and have had no regrets on hiring from Limelight Camera and Lens Hire. Pricing was very competitive, the website was easy to negotiate and I had great communication from Stephen who answered my queries quickly and with obvious knowledge. Equipment arrived in good time, was well packaged and in quality protective cases and was all in excellent condition. Return of equipment was very easy and overall hire experience was great. Would certainly use this company again.
