Absolutely perfect wedding photographer

We didn’t want a very formal approach to our wedding photographs, as our wedding was deviating from the traditional format. Dash and his team fully embraced this, tailoring their suggestions and approach to match our day from start to finish. Dash went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and were happy throughout, and we felt completely at ease, despite being two people not particularly comfortable in front of a camera. Many of our guests also commented on the approach to photography, they were impressed with the speed and openness to capture ad hoc photos throughout the day.

The drone shots helped capture the amazing location we had for the day, and Dash embraced my desire to have photos taken whilst stood in a river. We can’t recommend Dash highly enough.

Simply perfect!

Better late than never but Dash is so lovely to work with and made our day! We used him in May 2023 for our wedding then in 2024 for our newborns picture. There was so much laughter involved and he has the patience of a saint when it came to both! I honestly found Dash by chance and I’m so pleased I did ♥️

Delighted, highly recommended

Dash put me at ease from our first conversation. He is approachable, friendly and super knowledgeable. He had previous experience of working at our venue. My now husband and all of our families got on with him like a house on fire. He worked tirelessly all day, he wasn't seen once without his camera in his hand. We are over the moon with the pictures and our album was sorted so fast. We had everything within weeks (not months like some other photographers). He deserves all his positive accolades and awards. I wish him all the best and much more success in the future.

Amazing experience.

Dash made me and my partner feel so at ease and made having our photos an enjoyable part of our day, all our guests said how nice Dash was and he was very well organised. He got what he needed to do without any interruption to our day or schedule. We recieved our photos back in 2 weeks from our wedding and we got a sneak peak a couple of days after.

Cant thank Dash enough for capturing some amazing memories for us and i would highly recommend getting in touch with Dash if you want a proffessional and stressfree experience.

Thank you from the Pepper family.

Top class service

Dash is an amazing photographer. He made us both feel very relaxed which enabled us to enjoy our special day. We first had an initial meeting weeks before the wedding to discuss everything we wanted which was very reassuring and we knew that no special photographs would missed. He is extremely organised and professional which made the day run smoothly and enjoyed by everyone. The photo’s were outstanding and the video was fantastic. We can’t recommend Dash highly enough and guarantee you will not be disappointed. He is one of the best photographers on the market. Thank you Dash for making our day. X

Simply the Best

First off we would like to say a huge thank you to Dash and Eve for their time and hard work to capture our wedding in the most beautiful way. You can tell that Dash truly loves his work as he goes above and beyond from the first consultation to the wedding day and the final photos. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they really helped to inspire confidence and fun throughout the day!

100% recommend!

Please look at Dash Photography. They are amazing!

Dash being our photographer was a significant part of why our wedding day was such a great day! We were worried because neither of us is photogenic, but throughout the day he and Steve took dozens of photos that flattered us, where we look happy, natural and relaxed. We also realised during the day that, when you hire a photographer, you’re not only looking for someone who can take amazing photos, you also want someone who interacts well with you and your guests; Steve and Dash have a ‘perfect’ demeanour for their job – assertive, but fun and friendly, meaning everyone enjoyed being part of the photos. They have an eye, and a good imagination, for great photo settings as well as those ‘natural’ moments. Then, to top it off, they had our photos to us just two days after the wedding! Could not have been better!

Amazing photographer

Dash and his daughter Eve were outstanding!! Our photographs are unbelievable. Dash knew our insecurities and gave us advice how to hide them and subtly reminded us throughout the day so we would love our photos! They are the most loveliest people and a pleasure to spend our day with

Fantastic experience and service

We booked Dash for our wedding and engagement shoot. From our very first meeting Dash made us feel relaxed, listened too and confident in our decision. All our ideas and concerns were listened too and he offered excellent advice throughout. We would highly recommend Dash. Our photos were better than we could ever have imagined and really captured our special day!

Book for your Wedding Immediately!

Simply cannot recommend Dash enough! From the very first contact he was nothing short of friendly, polite, professional and helpful. He was very responsive throughout the journey even just checking in from time to time with us - just to see how the planning was coming along and we found that to be so personable and helped build great rapport! What we both found was that he went out of his way to make sure we both felt comfortable in front of the camera and he was able to capture photos that reflected us as a couple - and also engaging with our 9 year old and letting her take some photos on his camera which made her feel very special! - something which for both myself and my wife found amazing! Further highlighted by the fact that we threw some curveballs his way on the day and asked for extra shots over and above what we had talked about initially and he was more than happy to accommodate these and was so flexible with his time and even made those who weren't comfortable in front of the camera feel at ease. His assistant on the day Eve was also integral to making getting the right photos so seamless by being so helpful, attentive and accommodating. While the drone will undoubtedly yield some breath taking shots of our gorgeous venue! He sent some "sneak peaks" within 2 days of our day and I must say we cannot wait to see the whole album! All in all I would say do not hesitate to book Dash for your wedding - simply amazing and you will not be disappointed!

Exellent Day

Dash and his team were at our wedding all day long ,and done a fantastic job of our photos. They made us feel at ease and a lot of the time we didn;t know when they were taking photographs (apart from the group photos) . so this made for some really natural photos . An exellent day we had with Dash and the team, and we could'nt be happier with the results. Thank you Dash.

Booking him for your wedding now!

From the first contact with Dash he was friendly and helpful. Very responsive and open to different suggestions for your day. He went out of his way to put us at ease and having our photos on the day never seems like a chore because Dash and his assistant Steve made it all so fun. When we got our photos back (super quickly too I will add) we were amazed at how many photos we had that we hadn’t noticed being taken, oh and the drone footage was superb! All in all I would highly recommend Dash for your occasion :)
