Choosing a wedding photographer was a big decision for both of us. Our families always display their family holiday photos when they return from a trip, so they hold a special place in our hearts. When looking for a photographer, we knew we wanted someone on the higher end of the spectrum.

We weren’t initially planning to go for the biggest package they had. We were thinking of the middle one that included videographers as well as photographers. However, with some of my family living in Australia and my partner’s family in India, it turned out to be cheaper and easier to go for the package that live-streamed the wedding.

We reached out to Declan and his team, and to our delight, our chosen church and reception venue had the facilities they needed to live-stream the wedding. This meant that family members worldwide who couldn’t travel to join us could still enjoy our ceremony. We also got same-day edits for friends and work colleagues to see when they arrived for the evening. And guess what? We have our own wedding movie that we’re not ashamed to admit we cried the whole way through watching! It was so moving!

While it was a significant expense, it was absolutely worth it. I wouldn’t hesitate to book it again!

Booked Declan as he was someone we had seen working other weddings, we weren't sure if he would travel up to Edinburgh to do it, but he was more than happy to! He even traveled up for the engagement shoot!

We had a great day, and the photos are timeless! I have already recommended him to three friends!

Declan and his colleague were just an integral part of our wedding, we had a destination wedding that was booked and Declan came highly recommended by a friend!

While we initially were a little unsure about the cost of flying two people out, it meant that we had someone local to us (We are Chichester) if anything went wrong, and we were able to have coffee and a chat before the wedding date, it was all quite reassuring.

We got about 1000 photos back, and have the most beautiful wedding book, he was also able to get us two more, i cant remember the cost but they were quite affordable under £50 i think, that we were able to give to our parents.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Declan in the future, and have already done so!
