Incredible memories captured

David was amazing from start to finish, leading up to the day we had great communication and on the day he was fantastic, capturing so many candid moments that reflect the absolute fun and joy of our wedding, a lot of the time we didn’t even know he was there! He set up and organised all of the group shots we asked for as well and spent the morning whilst we were getting ready taking wonderful pictures of the venue as it was also transformed into our dream. The images are beautiful and we couldn’t of asked for better. His service was professional and relaxed and everyone felt totally at ease with him. And he is generally just a really lovely person! Our gallery was ready super quickly and we have had so much pleasure looking through it with friends and family and he captured our day perfectly. I would absolutely recommend David to anyone

We highly recommend

We highly recommend David who photographed our wedding in August ’24. Photos are amazing, it is incredible how David captured so many beautiful moments in those few hours he was with us. Looking through the photos was like having our beautiful day over and over again, discovering about lovely moments we could not see on the day. It is incredible how he blended with the crowd; we hardly knew he was there. We will treasure those beautiful photos forever. The communication was brilliant right from the start, the right amount of information given to us at the right time, David was very professional and kind during the planning and on the day. Many people who attended really do not like photos of them being taken, but they all felt very comfortable thanks to David’s professionalism, kind and patient personality. Thank you, David, the words are not enough. We are looking forward for David to capture more beautiful moments when we have the event in the future.

Wedding 1/6/24

We received our digital wedding photo album yesterday and to say we are over the moon with our photos is an understatement!
We had a home visit from David a few weeks before the weekend to get to know one another and to discuss our expectations of how we wanted our photos to look on the day.. relaxed and informal.
We tapped into David’s vast wealth of knowledge and experience and took his advice throughout the day to get the most from our guests and ultimately the very best photographs.
On the day, David was very professional, incredibly patient when we deviated from our agreed list of family groups and was unobtrusive amongst our guests.
He worked non stop and took the most beautiful, natural photos of us all.
The quality and content of the photos are second to none.
All of our guests commented on how hard he worked and he seemed to take hundreds (if not thousands) of photos of us all.
We paid David extra to stay later in the evening and we were so glad we did, as by that time everyone had let their hair down and were busting some shapes on the dance floor.
All of which have been recorded for posterity!!
I would have no hesitation in recommending David to be your wedding photographer.
The epitome of Calm ( very much needed on a stressful day) full of advice before the day, heaps of experience, excellent quality photographs and most importantly incredible value for money..
thank you so much David for helping us relive our wonderful day over and over again!
We can’t thank you enough x

Excellent service, amazing photos!

David was so professional yet lovely to deal with from the start. Got to our wedding venue early to set himself up. He was personable with all the family and guests. All that came into contact with him said he was so patient. The photos came out FABULOUS, bridal magazine worthy in their quality. David knew how to capture the spontaneous moments and he has given us so many emotional as well as humorous memories. We would 100% use David again for future events and also recommend him to all our friends and family! Thank you David! Salima and Eliot

Fantastic photography

I would really recommend David as he has an incredibly pleasant and calming demeanor. David made us feel very comfortable and was very laid back. Even with our small number of guests he was able to blend in and take some lovely candid photos as well as many beautiful group/couple shots. It's so hard to pick favourites, as there's so many beautiful memories captured.

Great photographer

David is not only a brilliant photographer, he made the booking experience and photos on the day so easy. He is very accommodating and really got to know what we wanted on the day (despite us being a little too laid back about it ;)
He is amazing value for money. I found other photographers tried to sell me endless packages but David was straightforward and honest
Definitely book him- he’s amazing

Super happy with our amazing photos!

We would absolutely recommend David to any couples looking to hire a wedding photographer. David researched the venue in advance, arrived early & worked tirelessly throughout the day to ensure the best shots were captured, whilst remaining discreetly in the background. Friendly, affable and professional - we were absolutely thrilled with the beautiful photos taken on our special day - a mixture of posed and natural shots in both B&W and colour which we will treasure forever.

Friendly, experienced & professional wedding photographer

When we started looking for a wedding photographer for our wedding we shortlisted a few and checked out there work online to see pictures from other weddings that they had done. What we liked about David's portfolio was his ability to take the natural shots which just captured the moment for what is was and that is what we wanted for our photos.

We could only have David at our church service due to our wedding being on the 4th July 2020 due to the restrictions in place with social distancing. David arrived an hour before the service to take pictures of the church, surrounding areas and to capture all of our guests arriving. My wife and I were very pleased to say the least with the pictures and although we only had him at the church service we was given 152 professional edited pictures with a mixture of colour and black & white, which we was over the moon with. There were so many natural shots of my wife and I words cannot describe how happy we are that we choose David to be our photographer and at such short notice.

David is very friendly and professional photographer. At one point David was lying on the grass in his suit just to take the shot at the best angle, My wife and I was shocked at it but just goes to show the lengths he is willing to go to for the best picture, we had a bit of rain but that didn't stop David from being out there to capture our moments.

Thank you so much David for the amazing photo's.

Kind Regards,

Gary & Marvella.
