Forth Engineering
“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Brian Austwick Photography on two occasions — first for the opening of our Precision Machining Facility in June, and again in October at our 25th Birthday Celebration Fundraiser.
Brian is a master of being completely inconspicuous, blending seamlessly into any event while capturing the most natural and genuine moments. His images go far beyond simple snapshots — they carry atmosphere and emotion. You can almost hear the laughter and feel the warmth of the occasion through his photos.
We were especially impressed by Brian’s flexibility — moving effortlessly from photographing in a complex engineering environment to capturing the vibrancy and joy of a large celebration. His ability to adapt his style to suit the setting is outstanding.
Brian works alongside his partner Nikkie, and together they make a wonderful small family business that’s deeply invested in our community. Their professionalism, friendliness, and talent make them an absolute joy to work with. Highly recommended!”

Talkin Adventures - Talkin Tarn Carlisle
“Keen to showcase our range of group adventure experiences, we contacted Brian Austwick Photography. We’d seen some of Brian’s work before and heard good things.
We’re so pleased that we did!
Brian and Nikkie were really helpful and had plenty of ideas to create a brilliant video and range of photos. The day of filming was a lot of fun and Brian promptly sifted through hours of footage to put together a short movie to professionally display our services to future clients.”

Anderson's
“We engaged Brian to prepare a promotional video to showcase what we have to offer in our Carlisle Store. The end result was exactly what we were hoping to achieve so we really couldn’t ask for any more.
From our initial enquiry right through to the completion Brian understood what we were looking for which made the process very easy. With a mixture of internal and external work in addition to some drone footage the output was an excellent standard and that was down to the level of detail and attention that Brian paid in making sure that the footage was just right.
I couldn’t recommend Brian more and would be happy to speak to anyone thinking of working with him regarding our experience.”

Just Company
“Just Company is a unique service specialising in quality companions for the elderly. We recently decided that we needed to update our website and the new site would benefit from some high-quality photographs of our companions and clients, whilst actually out together.
Rather than “just use your mobile phone camera”, we used the services of Brian at Brian Austwick Photography, who had been recommended to us by a mutual business associate.
Brian and his partner, Nickie met us at the lovely village of Arnside in the South Lakes area of Cumbria where two of our clients and their respective companions attend a regular session of the local table tennis club and a third client was enjoying a lovely walk along the seafront.
Brian spent around 3 hours with us and took great care in making sure that the subjects of the photos were positioned and framed to the best effect and took full advantage of the location as a backdrop. He is a perfectionist and invests the time to make sure that he is fully satisfied with each set of shots before moving on to the next. The resulting photographs were amazing; Brian truly has the “photographer’s eye” and we would highly recommend his services.”

Sunnyside Guest House Keswick
“As a small business we appreciate the impact a professionally produced video can have on creating and conveying the right image but it can be daunting where to start. Through recommendations we called and discussed our needs with Brian and Nikki from Brian Austwick Photography, what a great experience. Brian and Nikki put us both at ease, listening to our needs and giving their thoughts and ideas. From the initial consultation through to the proposal, the shoot itself and then on to providing the draft and final edited film was a joy and we both enjoyed the experience and are thrilled with the final production. We’re now looking at more productions to be produced in the future and yes we’d highly recommend Brian Austwick Photography.”

We would definitely recommend him.”

Ballard PR Agency
“As someone who advises clients to have a bank/ library of professional and commercial photos to be used for promoting the business such as via press releases, social media and marketing, I thought I ought to also do the same so I had hired Brian Austwick Photography to do them for my business Ballard PR Agency. Brian and Nikkie were very professional and thorough. I felt that they also listened to what I had asked and the types of photos I felt I could use. I am very happy with my photos and even seen an increase of connection invites on LinkedIn from using one of the photos they had done as well as had many lovely comments about them. Shows that professional photos make all the difference! Looking forward to using them all when I update my website which will be soon.”

Cumbria Chamber of Commerce
“Brian photographed our business conference (Conference Cumbria) in October 2023. Leading up to the event communication was easy with all emails quickly answered. Everything went just as smoothly on the day of the conference and we received the photos quickly afterwards. The finished photos are excellent and perfectly captured the day. Five stars!”

Debbie Loring
“As a professional in helping business have a secure foundation, I want to ensure that my branding, videos, and content are of the highest standard.
I required a new section to be added to an existing video, providing more detailed information. I understood this to be a complex task, as it required you to unpick the existing content and then to add the new section seamlessly. This required you to visit my office, to film me in my working environment and then integrate the new content efficiently.
I found our interactions to be very professional. You clearly explained the process, keeping me informed of the changes, and you kept to the agreed timescales and budget. You a very nice, warm-hearted person who is only too happy to help.
I would highly recommend Brian, for any promotional content that is required, including photos, videos and drone work.”
