Here are some testimonials from happy clients
WiRE (Women in Rural Enterprise)
"We have used Rural Pictures many times over the last few years and are absolutely delighted with the pictures and the service that we receive from Ruth. Between 300 and 500 WiRE members congregate for the annual conference and it is no mean feat to capture the day in pictures - vibrant, exciting, noisy, educational, Ruth manages to portray all this and more in her images as well as going the extra mile and staying 'till the bitter end to capture the tired but happy staff"
Truly a star service and photographer - Thanks
'After the initial consultation meeting with Rural Pictures we were more than happy to ask them to take our Wedding photographs. They were very professional and also had a lot of time for us to help us decide what type of photos we wanted. Having Rural Pictures do our photographs meant that we didn't have to worry about anything, they arranged all the guests for photos and also organised all the timings with the venue. Ruth made us feel completely at ease and the photography was in no way intrusive to the day itself. We were absolutely delighted with the end result. Thankyou so much.'

"Ruth from Rural pictures came to capture images of my vintage china collection! Not an easy task with the weak January sun going in and out, the displays having to be painstakingly arranged and me making unusual requests! However, the results are excellent and will give my web site and advertising material a brilliant professional look. Highly recommended - thank you!'

Sarah Dalton - Wedding client
"Ruth & her husband Rob were great in planning the photo session by coming and looking at the venues and discussing what would work well. They took all the information they needed in terms of focus and lighting, then on the day the bonus of having both Ruth & Rob meant that one could be taking the photos whilst the other gathered the right people together so there was no hanging around for anyone. Then when we were gathered together for the photos there were two lenses focused on the moment, so we had a great choice of pictures! It all worked well and smoothly. Thanks ....... you were really great in producing a great set of memories but also in making us feel comfortable and fitting in with the day"

Jane Johnson - Genesis QA
“Genesis QA is delighted with the quality and range of library and specially commissioned photographs from Rural Pictures. Ruth’s attention to detail is superb and she continues to provide us with a bespoke service which is second to none”.
"I have had the good luck to find a photographer that is so excited about her work and enthusiastic that everything is done correctly, that I shall use no - one else in the future.
Ruth Downing, of the above business came to take photographs of my litter of 6 puppies. They were 6 weeks old, and very boisterous, and I really wondered if we would get any good shots out of it, as we were looking for real "picture box" poses with them all in the picture.
However, Ruth didn't doubt it for one minute, and spent time and effort on getting all the final details together, even to bringing her own "props" in case mine weren't sufficient.
We moved around, and the atmosphere was very congenial, as Ruth is a lovely person to be around, and put us all at ease - my job was to supply the coffee and Ruth was making sure the job was excellent.
The result was pictures of my litter that I am so proud of, and will always remember the fun we had doing the portfolio.
I know its not the first consideration when you want something special, but I have to say Ruth, your prices are really reasonable too !!"
