My children commissioned an album of our house and farm from Ed Shepherd for my birthday - it is without doubt the best present I have ever received.

It was a wonderful surprise as Ed cleverly arranged to come on the few days I was away from home, and miraculously found some sunny weather in a truly dreadful summer.

I shall never forget my delight at opening that lovely red book. Page after page of glorious photographs of Foxcote - all my favourite places and views recorded - the dogs, horses, birds, chickens, rabbits etc are there, and the pictures of the garden at the height of flowering would do justice to a specialist horticultural photographer.

Everyone who comes to the house takes a look at the album and they are blown away.

Foxcote is very special - with great sensitivity and superb photography Ed has completely captured the essence of the place.

Not only are the photos stunning but everyone concerned commented on the unintrusive official photographer who went about his business with an easy manner and relaxed approach. Thank you so much, it was a great pleasure to have you at the wedding and for the truly splendid resultant photographs.

Most grateful thanks. A very skilled and imaginative collection of work performed with consummate ease.

I just wanted to write you a short note to thank you so much for the photographer at Jennifer's wedding. Right from the very start, you put us all at ease and we felt very relaxed about having our photographs taken.

I did think it was really tough for you, when you had to stand in the rain for some shots - but your good humour never left you at all.

Throughout the day, many people asked who you were and hopefully, once they have seen the photographs, some fresh business will be coming your way.

Thank you so much - we are very pleased with the result. I will ask you to take some of Nicholas in the next few months.

Once again, we wanted to thank you very much for doing the most wonderful job and for capturing our wedding day so perfectly. We will certainly be recommending you to any friends who are looking for a photographer.
