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 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

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 :)

So friendly and captured the heart of the day

Dash and his daughter Katie are both so lovely! They were both very attentive and friendly towards both the bridal and groom party. Dash would inform me what ideas and photos he wanted to get, all amazing, and he would talk everyone through each set up (even getting us girls to jump over a sofa haha)
Both Dash and Katie had great communication and made both myself and my now husband, feel very at ease.
We would highly recommend Dash as a wedding photographer, such a great guy and we are very much looking forward to seeing the final photos!!

Thank you so much for capturing our special day!!

Super friendly, professional, and affordable!

Had my wedding exactly a week ago today, and lovely Dash was our photographer. We had a few unusual requests, as our wedding had a few extra complications, and covered them on our initial call. He was super accommodating and understood very well about the changing timings on an actual wedding day and how to work around them and suggest beautiful alternatives. He has already sent us our private gallery with all our photos! They are lovely and there are lots of them, I can't believe that he managed to work so fast on them too. Highly recommend :)

Loved the service provided!

We ordered the very minimal package as we wanted to spend time with our family. Dash and his apprentice made us feel very comfortable and we had fun along the way. The photos were just beautiful and turned out better than expected.
Communication was perfect leading up to the wedding and during the photographs. Can't thank you both enough and so happy we chose you to capture our special day ❤️

Couldn't have asked for more

Beendan was the perfect professional from start to finish.
We hired him for our small and unique, 1920s themed wedding and he got the style and the theme absolutely spot on. We couldn't have asked for more, especially at such a reasonable price.
Would highly recommend Dash
