I recommend Arnott & Arnott highly and enthusiastically for every occasion

 Both as a family and as a business, we have been so fortunate to work with the multi talented Lara - and later Bizzy - for over a decade, their personalities being key to their work. Well organised and efficient, their sunny, positive, warm disposition brings out the best in everyone. Challenges such as a sandstorm over an English vineyard, to high winds and lashings of rain at our son’s wedding, were encountered with skill.

Each guest, even the most camera shy, relax and beam in their company. They make the protagonists of each wedding feel at ease throughout a long and emotional day - with stunning results. I have seen thousands of their photos, and never, ever a bad one.

Bizzy and Lara Arnott are an absolute dream to work with

They have been an integral part of our Boodles events, from capturing press days and launch events to directors’ portraits. Their talent, professionalism, and warmth make every shoot effortless. With their bubbly yet calm presence, they have an incredible ability to put everyone at ease, creating a relaxed atmosphere that shines through in every single photo.

As sisters, there is such a natural synergy between them, and they were everywhere without ever being intrusive. So much so that I’ve booked them for my own wedding this summer, there’s no one else I’d trust to capture my special day!

The photos are incredible - every one brings the joy and lightness in the moment

Nothing feels staged and every single one feels spontaneous, real and full of feeling. Your enthusiasm and infectious joy makes them come alive. There’s a brightness in them all that is a testament to you behind the lens. You have captured it so beautifully.

Lara works effortlessly with royalty and stars alike, always calm, relaxed, and a natural with everyone she photographs

Lara is a true star. I had the privilege of working with her on three royal photographic commissions, and she was superb on every one. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, bringing considerable style to every assignment - and she always delivers.

Though usually behind the camera, she has the presence and poise to be in front of it as well. I’ll always be grateful to her for capturing the best photograph of me with The Queen - something I will treasure forever.

Wow - the photos are amazing!!

You’ve captured the energy and fun of the day so beautifully. I’m sure Elton & David will especially love the ones of their boys in the grass.

It was a joy having you with us on the day. Can’t wait to have you back for the next one.

You’ve somehow bottled the very essence of the day. We can’t thank you enough 

Firstly, I just want to say the biggest thank you from me, Tom and our families for taking such beautiful photographs - we adore them. They're completely magical. You've not only captured us, our families and our guests so perfectly, but you’ve somehow bottled the very essence of the day, from the sun shining through the church, spring all around, the colours, all the energy and all the love... and you even managed to make sure the wind actually added to the magic and and didn't ruin them!

You and Bizzy were a completely perfect choice for us. Your calm, joyful presence made everything feel effortless and we were so lucky to have you both with us. We'll be pouring through our photographs for the rest of our lives loving them more and more each time.

I was blessed to have not just one, but two Arnott sisters photographing my wedding

I was just reflecting on the crazy year that has been 2024 and realised I simply had to message you to say thank you, thank you from the absolute bottom of my heart for making mine and Camilla’s wedding so incredible. Simply put, your photos are stunning and will forever be a reminder to us of that wonderful day in October. 

Thank you too for the energy, love and warmth you brought to the day. You somehow make every bride & groom of every wedding feel like it is the only wedding you have ever focussed on which is an extraordinary trait. Thank you so much again - we will both forever be so grateful to you.

I was blessed to have not just one, but two Arnott sisters photographing my wedding

Their work ethic is truly uncompromising, and as a result, they managed to capture every possible special moment. Not just the big ones, but the intimate, fleeting ones too - guests meeting for the first time, old friends reuniting, the big energy of the day down to the creative little details.

Thanks to them, I’ve been able to relive the celebrations and emotion of the day, and even experience all the moments between the people I love that I couldn’t be present for in the whirlwind of the day. I’ve got the best memory of my wedding, captured from every angle and so full of love and connection.

They also have a rare gift for putting people at ease and bringing out the best in everyone— even those family members who usually shy away from the camera!

They delivered far beyond our hopes and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

It honestly feels like you have a dusting of magic in your lens

On your wedding day - with lots on your mind, and tonnes of people coming to say hello - you really want a photographer who makes you feel calm, relaxed and joyful. You make everyone feel all those things and more!  The memories you captured are incredible. You felt like part of the family, and it was an absolute delight to have you with us. You were a total asset.

I’ve never seen so many brilliant shots all together in one place

Lara & BIzzy, these are an absolutely AMAZING set of pictures! I’ve never seen so many brilliant shots all together in one place - I honestly can’t believe how lucky we are. You’ve captured everyone so beautifully, with incredible family and group shots, and every little detail. I feel like I’m reliving the whole day exactly as it was. I’m completely blown away. 

You are total SUPERSTARS and I can’t thank you enough. You were so great and relaxed, and somehow managed to cut through all the chaos and get everyone where they needed to be - no small feat! You were truly brilliant from start to finish, and we’re just so grateful.

What an amazing job you do — you’ve given us the gift of time travel. We’re beyond grateful

Bizzy, I'm sure you hear this a lot, but you are an absolute delight! Everyone LOVED you, your gorge smile (and dress!) and the way you made everything so effortless and fun. I can't get over how beautifully you captured our day.

Through your magic lens we’ve been able to piece the wedding back together — seeing who laughed, danced, and connected in moments we missed at the time. Having so many favourite faces in one gallery, especially with friends and family scattered around the world, feels like immortalising one extraordinary day in time.
