Testimonials

"We are so glad we chose Karn to be the photographer on our wedding day. She was so professional and nothing was a problem to her. She came up to Scotland to be at our wedding and when she was home visiting her family she could always squeeze me in for a quick catch up on the wedding plans. On the day I didn't know Karn was there most of the time, however she still captured the most memorable parts of our day. They definitely showed how much of an amazing time gordon and I were having. We would just like to say a massive thank you Karn. Our photographs were stunning and you also went that extra mile running after me on my wedding day."

Gordon and Gemma Hood

"We just wanted to thank you again for the amazing job you did as our wedding photographer. From the moment we booked you right until we received our wedding album we were continually impressed by not only the excellent quality of your work but also by the professionalism & friendliness of your service. (As were both our families on the day too!) Your photos captured the spirit of our day beautifully and the efforts you made to ensure we were able to get those elusive beach shots, especially as you knew how important they were to us, were so so appreciated.

We didn't even realise so many of the photos had been taken which not only demonstrates your great skill but also made receiving the wonderful slideshow and CD even more exciting!

So thank you again, we will not be hesitating to recommend you to all our family & friends."

"I've known Karn for a number of years so when it came to choosing our wedding photographer she was a natural choice. Karn listened to all our ideas and on the day she was there on hand capturing every special moment, there were times we didn't even know she was there and she captured moments we missed. The final photos are something we will treasure forever, and something we can't thank Karn enough for. They are truly amazing photos. Thank you again."

We just wanted to say a HUGE Thank you for the birthday party photo shoot. It's such a fantastic party idea for girls who are getting a little too old for pass the parcel!
All the girls had a blast, they loved striking a pose - you had them so relaxed even the shy ones came out of their shells! With all your imaginative ideas the whole thing so much fun, they loved every minute.
I think the general consensus was that it was the coolest party ever and they are already planning next year's!
And the results! All I can say is WOW! Amazing photographs of my girls and their friends which I know they'll treasure forever, Thank you again."

"Thank you so much for the wonderful photographs of my son and my niece, they turned out better than I imagined especially as you had a two year old and a 9 month old to contend with! The whole experience was very relax and the kids had a ball. As a result, we have a fabulous set of of natural photographs on which everyone compliments. Thank you again!"

"My husband and I took our 3 1/2 month old son to Karn for some family photos and we were over the moon with the result. Karn is friendly and approachable, puts you totally at ease but also offers a professional service. We are glad that we chose Karn as a photographer and will certainly be back for more."

Louise Smart

"This is just a quick note to say thank you once again for being our wedding photographer. The photo’s you took on the day, and slideshow you compiled afterwards, are absolutely fantastic. You really captured the spirit of the day & the photos are an amazing record that we will cherish forever. The photo’s are all superb and while this obviously a reflection of your creative skill and experience, this is also in large part attributable to your effortless ability to make people feel at ease. Every time we look at our wedding album we smile – what more could we possibly want? We could not have asked for a more professional and personal service. Thanks again."

Dave & Philippa Cotton


"I was looking for ideas for my 10 year old's birthday party and wanted to come up with something original. I booked a photo shoot party for my daughter and seven of her friends they all wore red tops and jeans and then changed into a party outfit. Karn made it fun for the girls they felt like celebrates for the day! They all got to pick a photograph and received it a short time afterwards, the girls are still talking about it at school."

The album she created for us will be cherished forever and we are so lucky to have such an amazing account of our day. Karn is a talented photographer and we could not recommend her highly enough to anyone choosing a photographer."

Katie and Phillip Lennon


"I would fully recommend McSpadyen Photography. As soon as my family and I arrived Karn made us feel very welcome and relaxed. The photos that she produced were fabulous, we really couldn't have asked for more. We were a big group of mixed shapes and sizes but the poses that Karn asked us to do didn't make any one look out of place. The shoot had a very fun approach as well as being professional, which made everyone relaxed and made it a very enjoyable experience. Karn is clearly a very skilled photographer and this shows in her work. I will never use a different photographer again. I would recommend Karn to anyone and everybody!"

Stephanie Bancroft


"I'm really glad we asked Karn to take pictures of our new baby boy. She is really professional and its great that you get to do it at home. Her prices are also really competitive when compared to other photographers. Our pictures are amazing and are something we will treasure forever!"

"Setting up a new business was difficult enough, but we also wanted to offer our customers an e commerce option. Getting the photography right for our website was very important for us as we wanted to be a little bit different. Working with Karn to help create our site photography was a fabulous experience; she worked tirelessly to create that special shot we wanted and her help and advice was invaluable. We would highly recommend Karn for your photography requirements, her talent is immeasurable."

"Just wanted to say a big Thank-you for the wonderful photoshoot you did for my daughters 8th birthday! The girls all had a lovely time and the photos were great! You were very professional throughout the shoot but at the same time you also made it a lot of fun...so thanks again Karn!"

Denise Shepherd


"Having had a couple of experiences with famous high street photography companies, we've always been very frustrated to only be able to have a couple of pictures for a very high price. The kids also found photography studios intimidating. Our experience with Karn was amazing! She is very professional but also has a great connection with children and is very patient. We were very impatient to get our CD and absolutely thrilled with it when we got it very quickly! I have already recommended her to all my friends!"

Melanie Bouyer & Family


"We wanted some shots of our group of friends and so booked with Karn. Not only did she make the session lots of fun (crucial to get everyone relaxed and get the best shots!) but she also had loads of great ideas for different photo's and was great at making us pose to get the most flattering sillouettes! We definitely going to have some more done, although I don't know if the walls can't take them, we've got them all over the house! It was a great session. I would highly recommend McSpadyen Photography."

Emma Gregory


"We have used Karn for a number of photo shoots after being so impressed with the first one she did. She has taken photos of my baby bump, newborn photos and we also booked her for our wedding photos. She always acts in a professional manner and made us feel very comfortable and at ease. Her creativity when taking and producing the photos is amazing and the results are truly wonderful. Karn takes on-board any requests you have and works hard to get the photos you want.  Karn's ability to take photos that make people look natural and relaxed is breathtaking and inspirational. Karn comes highly recommended."


Fiona and Kirk Fagan


"For our child's christening we wanted to fully concentrate on the experi"We are so glad we got you to shoot our 'BUMP' pictures, you made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I would never believe they were taken in our very own home. Even Ollie took part and we now have some fantastic photo's of that special time, and of course the photos you took of our precious newborn Lara, I love all the pictures and want to hang them all !. You have captured some beautiful photos of us as a family. We can't thank you enough Karn. Xx"

Ben, Janine, Ollie and Lara Gregory


"For our child's christening we wanted to fully concentrate on the experience and enjoy every moment of the special day. The way you quietly and professionally went about your tasks and gently supervised all of the big family on the day, made your work so transparent and allowed us to focus on the important matters.


To then look back on the photo album that you put together was simply incredible. I have worked with several photographers and obtained many different types of photographic products, but nothing prepared me for the level of quality, detail, beauty, sensitivity and style that you managed to display in every photograph and the whole book itself as a beatifully flowing storybook of our child's special day. Thank you so much."

From Lucy and Paul Darwin


”We can't thank you enough for capturing such a special day for us that will always be with us and be able to share with all our friends and family. You truly have a great gift. Use it well. Good luck for the future. Our thoughts are always with you. Lots of Love”
