We had Max for our Intimate Ceremony in Dublin, he was the most amazing person to have around on the day, friendly, charismatic and most importantly so calming. Not only was he wonderful to have on the day but the footage of the video I got was so impressive it brought tears to the eyes of anyone watching.
We were thrilled with his expertise, his presence and how he managed to deliver all our requests.
I couldn’t recommend him enough.
