Below is a small sample of the feedback we have received from previous customers. Its important to us that our customers are happy with the service we provide and its something we pride ourselves on and take very seriously. Also take a look at a Letter of Thanks we received from a previous customer
A Letter of Thanks from a customer To John & Katie You were the first photographer we contacted and within 5 minutes of meeting you we knew you were the photographer for us. You are passionate and enthusiastic about your work without being pushy, even encouraging us to look at other photographers' work!  When my Husband and I met you for the second time, you both made us feel very welcome in your own home and we had the pleasure of Katie's home made cakes! After many emails backwards and forwards and a number of changes to your Gold Package we confirmed booking for 27th June 2015. A short time before our big day we found out Wharton Park was closed and we were devastated as we wanted the cathedral shot. When you both arrived to confirm final details we were over the moon when we realised you had already had a recce round Durham - finding us an alternative spot for the perfect cathedral shot and suggested we use the DLI museum grounds too. On the day of the wedding we had a bright and early start, upon request you both came to my mam's house and the hairdressers for 'getting ready' photo before leaving to go to the Radisson to capture the men's photos. There were loads of photos which we didn't even know were taken as you were unobtrusive. We had lovely weather which helped us when it came to the cathedral shot and walking up into Durham where we got some amazing photos! You put use at ease when we walked around Durham especially when taking some of the photos which we were a little unsure about, the turned out to be some of our favourite photos! To perspective brides, grooms and other customers: Stop looking and book John and Katie, you really won't be disappointed!  John has unending patience, taking time with youngsters, oldies and everyone in between to capture the perfect shots. Nothing is too much bother for both John and Katie. They were with us from around 8am till 9.30pm on the night (much later than expected) which we are truly grateful for. All our guests commented on how professional and friendly they both were throughout the day and no request was a problem. If we ever need a photographer for family celebrations we will not hesitate to contact John & Katie. Thank you for EVERYTHING you have done for us!! Emma & Stuart

Just a massive thank you from me and Jonny to you and your wife John for a fantastic service and photos of our special day couldn't have gotten a better photographer for quality and service. When I picked up my photos I was waiting for them to be in a bag or something but no, John and Katie take the time to put them in a lovely box. Then when I opened the box the were wrapped up, little things like this mean a lot.

Lumley Castle Wedding
After having just looked through our albums which I must say were beautifully wrapped and presented, we can honestly say that we were so unbelievably thrilled with them and think that they are perfect! Both John and Katie were the perfect photographers for our wedding day, nothing was ever too much trouble, we were never rushed, they were incredibly organised getting everyone together for the group photos (which can always be challenging!) but most of all they were both just so lovely with us on the day making us feel so at ease from the get go, never forcing us into awkward poses. They let us be us and captured some truly breath-taking photos. I cannot wait to show off our wedding pictures to all our family and friends now! I highly recommend you book them as they really are an asset to any wedding day and you will not regret it!

We were lucky enough to have John and Katie to take our Wedding photos at Beamish Hall on August 5th 2017. They are a lovely couple who put us totally at ease and John has produced the most beautiful wedding album for us that we have ever seen. Our family and friends have been so impressed. We felt really relaxed with John and Katie all day and the quality of our photos is superb we could not have wished for better photographers or photos and we would a million percent recommend this fantastic couple to anyone looking for exceptional quality photographers who really care about you and your big day.

John was our photographer at our wedding in July and he was fantastic. With Katie as his assistant, they were absolutely brilliant throughout the whole day. We couldn't have asked for a more professional pair and the photos and photo album we received were incredible. We would recommend John and Katie to anyone.

John Young Photography Durham Wedding Photography Reviews
John and Katie were recommended to us by a friend and from the outset they were extremely supportive and accommodating. Prior to contacting John, other photographers made us feel that our wedding was too small and not worth their time but John and Katie were the total opposite. We were welcomed into John and Katie’s home to discuss the needs for our wedding and nothing was too much trouble for them. The fact that our wedding was a small family affair was not a problem and he was happy to come back to the Groom’s parents’ house where we were having our Reception. John was extremely patient and dedicated to getting the right shot and Katie was fantastic! She always made sure that I was looking my best throughout the day as well as assisting John with the photography. We were totally clueless about the types of shots we should have or of any picturesque areas to use, around the wedding venue, as our backdrop. Thankfully John was happy to do this and he captured the day beautifully. Having been quite daunted by the thought of the couple shots, he made us feel totally at ease and he consistently made sure that we were comfortable with what we were doing. The experience is something we will never forget. Our family and friends were very complimentary about how friendly both John and Katie were and everyone was thrilled with the gorgeous moments he captured throughout the day. We would have no hesitation in booking John and Katie again and we would highly recommend them to anyone needing a photographer. We really can’t thank them enough. Kathryn and Rob X
