Vivienne Haldane photographer and journalist
Testimonials

Do you know how special it was to open our album full of our closest and dearest friends and family while living in another country, in a new house? It was special and it looks lovely and you captured the day well.

We went out and bought frames for the enlargements the very next day. I wanted pics up in our new home and they look great. I enjoy looking at them as it reconnects us and inspires me to be and feel loved and to enjoy and relive that special day.

You created a treasure my family will enjoy. Thank you Thank you Thank you!! and well done!

We picked up a copy of the April 'Growing Today,' to check out the article that Vivienne Haldane has written about us. Funny seeing yourself in print and seeing things in the photos we wished we'd tidied away! However, we were really happy with the way Vivienne has written about us, the info is correct and it feels like she understood where we were coming from.
