I’ve used Liz a few times now for photography jobs at the Arch GP surgery and events we run and she’s always been excellent. She understands the brief each time, delivers plenty of high quality photos within a short turn around time, and we’ve had lots of positive comments from the staff, patients and event attendees she’s photographed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Liz, she’s fantastic to work with.

Liz approaches her work as a photographer in a very professional manner . She meticulously plans and prepares for the shoot in advance which is very helpful. She is flexible, hard working and very good to work with. Her results are fantastic; she produces wonderful photography. I would highly recommend her.

I have worked with Liz for seven years across two schools where I have been the Head. She has provided us with both outstanding photography and levels of service. Capturing the essence of a school’s ethos and culture in images is not easy, but Liz triumphs again and again. She is discreet and easy to work with. I highly recommend her services.

Susi and the Vervate Team are legends! They helped us capture the best shots for raising awareness of our mission and engage more people to fight food poverty and tackle food waste. They have been very flexible and thoughtful considering the Covid-19 restrictions and precarious times. Susi was also very helpful to support the Fundraising and Communication Team professionally to build their skillset and network. Recommended 100%

Susi and the team were a dream to work with on a short project explainer video that had quite nuanced requirements and a tight turnaround. They were flexible, professional and excellent value. Recommend!

I can definitely recommend working with Vervate. I did give them quite a big brief to work on and Susi was brilliant at breaking it all down to ensure they captured all the elements I wanted for the project. The team are personable but professional which makes them easy to work with and they really do take the time to try and understand what you are looking for.
