Mr & Mrs Hellier-Hagger - Newton Hall

We hired Dash to photograph our wedding a few weeks ago at Newton Hall. What can I say, he was fantastic. From correspondence prior to the wedding and our pre wedding meeting right through to the day itself and afterwards. Dash is so friendly and put us at ease from the first time we met, we wanted relaxed, natural photos for our intimate wedding and he absolutely delivered.
On the day, our guests were so impressed. We had minimal staged photos which saved time however, the ones we did have are stunning. Most of the time you hardly noticed Dash was there, he was discreet and calm which meant our photos are perfectly natural. Our 6 year old son absolutely adored him and Dash was kind enough to get him involved in the photography and Drone flying which he was incredibly excited about. Nothing was too much of an ask, he transported our rings from myself to the Groom (and took some beautiful sneaky shots on the way!) and went out of his way to ensure there was no stress.
The photos themselves are beautiful and Dash was so quick to get the finished albums over to us! They truly do capture every aspect of our day and tell a story, something we can look back through for years to come and remember conversations, laughs and tears.
We were also lucky enough to have Dash set up a photobooth during our evening reception which meant we had classic style black and white photos taken, they are brilliant and fun and our guests loved it! A chance to be silly whilst getting some really super unique photos was brilliant, they are of a fantastic quality and a great little bit of memorabilia for our guests to have printed and hang up at home. Different from the "traditional" wedding portraits!
We truly cannot recommend Dash enough, if you are looking for a friendly, attentive photographer who has years of experience and produces incredible photographs he is perfect. His natural style but with signature theatrical shots creates an incredible portfolio of photos, you'll most definitely want to hang them all up as it's impossible to choose favourites!
We cannot thank Dash enough!

Professional and personal - A breath of fresh air!

Professional and personal, Dash was a breath of fresh air!
He did a fantastic job of keeping two usually very camera shy folk feeling comfortable and confident the whole day long. From our first point of contact Dash was always very friendly and approachable, nothing was too much hassle for him. Dash's passion shines through, and it's very clear to see he genuinely enjoys what he does.
I would not hesitate to recommend Dash to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding/events.
Thanks again!

Highly recommended

Great value for money. Dash made two people who don’t like pictures taken feel comfortable and well pleased with the results!
Dash is highly professional and extremely efficient. All of our guests commented about how professional he was and how he made it personal remembering everybody’s name after seeing them once.

Would highly recommend Dash

We would highly recommend Dash, he was fantastic at our wedding.

We had a good initial conversation and he was always quick to respond to questions when we had them in the build up.

The pre-wedding shoot was good fun, it put us at ease with Dash who is friendly and engaging, plus we got some great photos from it.

On the day Dash had got there early to take some pre wedding photos and getting ready. He worked through the shots we’d asked to get but in a way which was natural and flowed with the day, he wasn’t fixed or pushy, he adapted with the day as timings inevitably changed and caught a number of surprises our friends and family had planned for us.

Dash was with us throughout the day and he was great throughout, as I say always friendly with us and guests, his advice was really good in structuring pictures so we maximised time with friends and family.

He worked to get us our photos back to us very quickly too and our guests have really enjoyed seeing the photos on the gallery website. The photos are great and we’ve so many we’ll cherish and a number we think we’ll get in bigger prints and photographs.

We also consider Dash to offer really good value for his packages as we’d done plenty of research. Would throughly recommend him.

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
