“Our wedding photos & gorgeous album by Kensa are fantastic!
Adrian offered an outstanding service right from the first time we contacted him, which was by far above & beyond the other photographers in the area. I knew that we could totally rely on him to capture the special moments of our day.
Adrian was a great guy to have around during our wedding day. He blended in so well with our guests that everyone kept asking if he was part of the family. He was totally calm & professional throughout the occasion, with a great sense of humour that made us feel relaxed in front of the camera. Our guests were happy to see some of his photos played on his laptop in the early evening.

“We searched high and low for a photographer we felt comfortable with and as soon as we met Adrian we knew he was the one. He made us feel so relaxed and his previous pictures were amazing. A few of my friends had got married before me or have recently got married and their pictures dont compare!! He is an amazing photographer and I would recommend him to everyone!”

“Very friendly and approachable, Adrian managed to capture amazing moments for us to remember forever with our beautiful photographs. We have already recommended him to all our friends and family. Amazing!!! Thank you again Adrian.”

“Adrian made our day perfect and has given us the perfect photographs to remember it forever. Not only that but our parents have the beautiful parent albums too. We had the most beautiful day which could be shared with guests in the evening on an excellent slide show. Adrian made our day unique and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. He established such a great rapport with guests and we thoroughly enjoyed having him with us. I have to say thank you Adrian for being such a great photographer from start to finish, thank you! We’ll never forget it.”

“Adrian was an absolute star, we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. We met him at a wedding fayre and immediately took to him, his work is fantastic and he is such a likable person.
He blended into our wedding like a guest. He was so friendly and all my guests have complimented his work and I am sure when my friends finally tie the knot they will be asking for his number!”

“Adrian was a true joy to have with us leading up to the wedding, on the day, and his service to us afterwards.
He produced some amazing photos, and an amazing album, well beyond any of our expectations.
So glad to have used Adrian to capture some fantastic memories of the day.
He should definite get the award ”

“Kensa is amazing, Adrian was friendly and professional and from our first meeting we felt both confident and at ease.
We contacted Kensa through the website, hugely better than the examples of other photographers. We were also impressed as Adrian travelled up to meet us in Suffolk.
The whole experience was exceptional but the points that stood out for us were the extra touches….. Adrian and his assistant were fun to have around on the day and got on brilliantly with our guests, they listened to what we wanted and even provided a slideshow of images on a laptop for the evening so that we could all view some of the pictures from the day. The after sales service was fab and we are especially appreciative as I have recently been very ill and our wedding album was a great comfort to my husband”

“Adrian was always available to answer any questions and organise all arrangements. He was punctual for our wedding day and captured all the magical moments of the day – you forgot he was even there! We had our wedding album upgraded. The quality of our wedding album is amazing and we will treasure the memories for many years to come.”

The voting was anonymous but after the results was announced i was given a copy of the feedback i received.. Here are some of their kind words…

We cannot recommend Adrian highly enough.
From the minute we met him at the Northcote Manor wedding fair in Mar 2008 we felt at ease with him. He is so friendly & on our special day it felt like he was part of the family. He was relaxed but professional & put everyone at ease, all of our guests commented on what a top bloke he is! When we received the first taster of our photos via a slideshow on his blog we were both reduced to tears, it really made our Xmas to see that he had captured the special moments of our day in the exact style that we had wanted. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone.

As we’re not from Devon we thought it would be a stressful task to find a photographer. This was not the case, as soon as I spoke to Adrian I knew he would be perfect, a complete professional & so down to earth with a fabulous eye for photography.
He’s extremely supportive through all the preparations & always on hand to answer the many questions I had. And even when the sea tractor broke down on the day of the wedding he was determined to get across so off came the socks & shoes and paddled across in a small boat to make sure he got to the Island!
I’ve lost count of the people who have commented on how fabulous they are and how they captured the whole wedding day.
We can’t thank Adrian enough for all his hard work and enabling us to have the most amazing photos that we will treasure always!

We spent ages looking for a photographer in the Devon and Cornwall area that did contemporary, reportage photography brilliantly well with value for money thrown in – We found that in Kensa. We were surprised with the level of attention that he paid from our first enquiry to the ordering of our photos. Our pictures of the day are outstanding and everything we could have ever hoped for. There is a huge focus on attention to detail and the customer service is exceptional – whatever we have asked for Kensa Photography delivered and their website is exceptionally good and gets updated regularly. From just a few days after the wedding there was a beautiful slideshow of the pictures so everyone could see and they pay great attention to detail ensuring that the bride and groom are always happy.

top chap…not pushy at all did the pics as we liked ! and they look fab , which was a great help as we hate having ours pics taken

FAB. I had looked and searched and met several photographers close to where i was getting married (Sennen); but none fitted the bill 100%. Although Adrian lived over 100miles away from the location; one telephone call and i knew he was the photographer for us! As he had family living not so far away; and we were marrying on a Bank Holiday; he combined a family weekend away with photographing our wedding_waiving the traveling costs for himself… what a star. The finished product is amazing; and every time i look back at the photos.. it still brings a tear to my eye. EXACTLY what you need from your wedding photos

Adrian offered a fantastic service from the first email contact right through to organising extra photo’s following the delivery of our album. Adrian was also such a great guy to have around during our wedding day, chating to all our guests and really just fitting into to everything. I was also really impressed that Adrian stayed the whole day – it was a long one! Finally it was great working with Adrian over the creation of our album… living miles away from where we were married, emailing changes etc was so easy. I would absolutely recomend Kensa photography!!!

Words really can’t explain how brilliant Kensa are. The whole experience was fantastic from the free engagement session where he gets to know you and your individual style, to the big day when he slipped into the background and captured our most precious memories in his beautiful photos. He was always there for anything you may need, giving you advice on things that he’s done a million times! he’s willing to go the extra mile in not only his photo style but in his whole approach. He was so fantastic that i even want him to do our family portraits when we start our family. i have recommended him to all of my friends who have got engaged recently and cannot praise him enough.

Adrian and his wife (his helper for the day) were amazing. I could not have asked for anything more. They were extremely professional and obviously cared a great deal about capturing our day on film. Adrian blended into the background during the ceremony as not to distract and had wonderfully artistic ideas for the group photos. We were unsure of where to have our photos taken and Adrian, off of his own back and in his own time, found us Trevarno Gardens to have our photos, he even spoke to the owners who gave us free entry. Our photos are outstanding, Adrian is a truly talented man and his passion for photography shines through in the quality of the photos and vision for a great picture. We had our finished photos and a DVD set to music of our choice within a week! Adrian is truly amazing!

When we decided to get married we wanted the perfect photos to remember our day as is goes so quickly. We looked around for a while when i heard about Kensa Photography. Well what can i say about Adrian (kensa photography), he came to see us for a chat about what kind of pictures we wanted and we had a look through his display album and WOW the pictures were absolutely amazing. Adrian was very punctual on our wedding day and was with me bright and early taking pictures, he was very professional and blended in with our guests. He sent through a profile of our album within 2 weeks and asked for any changes, we loved them all and didn’t need to change any. I cried when we saw the album for the first time it was amazing and it brought back all the memories of our day we cant stop looking at it.

The West Country Wedding Awards are Devon & Cornwall’s most Prestigious awards for customer service and excellence. Basically past clients were asked to vote and appraise us annonymously on both us, our service, quality of the final product as well as our commitment throughout and beyond… So to say that we’ve made it to the final is HUGE for us and to actually win would be amazing. Please help us by keeping everything you can crossed  

A BIG thank you to all our past clients that voted for us, it was very, very much appreciated.

I recently submitted a panel of 20 wedding photos to the prestigious Master Photographers Association (MPA) which were then assessed by a panel of judges from the Professional Photographic Qualifying Board (PPQB). The PPQB is a joint initiative between the MPA and BIPP. 10 had to be from the same wedding whilst the remaining 10 can come from a selection of weddings. They asses everything from the composition of the photograph through to the control of my lighting and even down to the quality of the photo print itself.
Well I’m pleased to say that I passed and have been accepted into the Association as a Master Photographer and I believe am one of their youngest qualified members in the South West! Hey, I even now have letters after my name – Adrian Downing LMPA. A big thanks must also go out to all of my brides of 2008 who helped to make this happen.
