TWO PHOTOGRAPHERS, TWO PERSPECTIVES

One Beautiful Collection of Memories

We each bring a unique rhythm, a distinct style, harmonizing to capture every shared glance and every tender touch. Together, we tell your unique love story through a rich tapestry of images. Your special day, woven into a timeless narrative.

REAL PEOPLE. REAL LOVE STORIES

It’s OK to be nervous. It is absolutely normal to feel those emotions while having your photos taken. In fact, we believe that these beautiful jitters can add a touch of magic to the moment, creating an exquisite blend of vulnerability and authenticity.

Each of our photos captures the essence of the people in them. Our photographs don’t abide by a rigid recipe or predefined formula. Instead, they embraces the beauty of spontaneity and individuality. We plan each wedding based on the couples needs, what they’re looking for and who they are.

Wonderful Photographers

Fantastic experience with Darren. Made the whole process effortless and easy. Very quick turn around for previews that look beyond what we could have anticipated. Would highly recommend them for any couple!

Blessed to have them for our special day!

Darren and Costel were incredible from start to finish. They made us feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole process and captured our day beautifully.

We had a structured shot list, but the final photos far exceeded our expectations with so many natural candid moments alongside all the key parts of the day. They blended in so well that we often forgot they were there, which really helped capture everything in such a natural way.

They were also happy to travel for getting ready photos and were just so easygoing and friendly throughout. On top of that, we felt they offered amazing value compared to other quotes we had seen or heard about from other couples, especially considering the quality of the photos and the level of service we received.

We couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Book your wedding photographer with Darren 🌟📸

We had our wedding at Broadoaks Country House in April 2026, and our wedding planner, Sian Parry, recommended Different Angle Photography. We couldn't be happier with that recommendation.

From the very beginning, Darren was professional, efficient, and quick to respond to our emails. A few days before the wedding, he reassured us that everything was organised and ready to go, which really helped put our minds at ease.

On the day itself, Darren was fantastic. His photography style was artistic and creative, and he took the time to capture so many beautiful moments without ever making us feel rushed. One of the highlights was when he drove us down to the lakes for some stunning photos. He was incredibly helpful, especially with me wearing such a big wedding dress, making sure I could get there safely and comfortably.

Our wedding included several traditional Chinese elements, including a tea ceremony and a lion dance. Darren was genuinely enthusiastic about capturing these special moments and embraced the itinerary with excitement and professionalism. He also surprised us by using a drone to take breathtaking aerial photographs, which we hadn't expected and absolutely loved.

What we appreciated most was that Darren worked so seamlessly throughout the day. With so much going on and our wedding planners asking us questions throughout the day, it was a huge relief that Darren simply got on with capturing everything naturally. When he needed us, he gave clear, easy directions on how to pose and position ourselves, making us feel completely at ease. We genuinely couldn't recommend Different Angle Photography enough. Darren played such an important part in preserving the memories of our special day, and we are so grateful for his hard work, creativity, and professionalism.

We wish Darren and his business partner every success in the future—they truly deserve it.

10/10 - perfect wedding photographers

Darren and Costel were incredible from start to finish. Their communication was excellent, taking the time to understand exactly which moments we wanted captured on our special day. They had plenty of creative ideas for beautiful locations, resulting in some truly stunning photographs.

Both were so friendly, approachable, and professional, offering helpful guidance and posing tips that made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. We’ve only seen our preview gallery so far, and the photos are absolutely gorgeous—I already can’t wait to see the full collection!

As a couple, we don’t consider ourselves particularly photogenic, but Darren and Costel made the entire experience feel natural, relaxed, and enjoyable. They even included our dog in the photos, which meant so much to us.

We couldn’t recommend Darren and Costel highly enough. If you’re looking for photographers who will capture beautiful memories and make you feel comfortable every step of the way, they are the perfect choice.

Beautiful Photographs of a Wonderful Day

Darren and Costell were incredible on the day, intervening enough to ensure we got the most beautiful photos, but allowing us enough time to be with our friends and family, capturing those moments without us noticing. Their communication in the lead-up to the wedding and on the day was fantastic; I could not recommend them highly enough.

Looking for a wedding photographer… look no further!

From the beginning of our journey with Darren, he set the tone of how everything was going to be. He responded promptly and would be there to answer any questions. Everything was planned to what we wished and hoped to capture on the day. Darren also made sure to ask if there was anything we did not want. On the day Darren made us feel completely at ease and comfortable being in front of the camera. We loved how he improvised to get different types of photos for our gallery. He was a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you so much again Darren!

One of the best Wedding decisions you'll make is to hire Different Angle Photography!

Wow. It is honestly hard to put into words to describe just how amazing Darren is. My husband and I were lucky as the venue highly recommended him and so I went onto social media and checked out their pages and WOW, it was unbelievably beautiful and exactly what we were looking for!

After having some great conversations on email, we got ourselves booked and then we actually met Darren at an event at the venue and my dad spoke all things drone related! Hahaha I appreciated his time and kindness talking with my family about how he was going to support us on our big day! He showed real genuine interest and care.

On the big day, Darren and Sean were just fantastic! They were beyond helpful and were super patient and reassuring to make sure that we had captured all that we wanted too and even accommodated a new set-up at our venue working so well with our DJ to make sure our vision with the cold sparks came to life! And wow, what incredible photos they turned out to be!!

As my title says, one of the best decisions you can make for your wedding to be absolutely perfect, would be to hire these guys. You can tell they care, they are just SUCH good people and the photos and videos truly speak for themselves. We truly couldn't have asked for more and we will continue to tell anyone and everyone that will listen!

We appreciate you so, so much !

Love Mrs and Mr Purkis x

We honestly couldn’t have asked for better photographers!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for better photographers! Darren and Costel were absolutely amazing and captured our day perfectly — exactly how we imagined it. We went for the full package, including video, and it was so worth it! They blended in effortlessly with our guests, making everyone feel so comfortable and at ease. So many of our friends and family commented on how lovely, friendly, and easy-going they both were. The photos and videos are everything we dreamed of and more — such beautiful quality and so full of emotion. They are truly brilliant at what they do, and we can’t thank them enough for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever.

I’m so glad we went with Different Angle for our wedding photographers, they are great guys and helped to make everything run smoothly!

Great photographers and experience!

We had a great experience with Darren and Costel, both at the pre-wedding shoot and at the wedding itself! They are both very friendly, professional guys who take great photos! We are very pleased with the service they provided and would recommend them to anyone looking for wedding photographers!
Our guests also really enjoyed their black and white photo booth, and it was lovely to come away from the day with printed photos they could take home with them!

Captured Our Day Perfectly

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photographers, Darren and Costel! From start to finish they were relaxed, friendly, and incredibly creative. Having our dogs involved in the wedding was so important to us, and they were absolutely brilliant with them, making sure they were a meaningful part of the day and the photos.

Before the big day, we sat down with Darren and Costel to run through the plan, and their calm confidence and local knowledge immediately put us at ease. We knew we could enjoy the day without worrying about what was coming next, as they had it all covered.

Their familiarity with the area really came through when they took us for some couple shots. They had a few beautiful locations in mind and let us choose what suited us best. Even with the classic Lake District weather, rain one minute and sunshine the next, they didn’t miss a beat and captured everything so naturally.

We received a preview of the photos the very next day and they were absolutely incredible. We can’t wait to see the rest! We honestly can’t recommend Darren and Costel highly enough.

Absolutely Amazing! Can't recommend enough!

We can't really put into words how amazing Darren and Costel are. From the very first enquiry their communication has been great, the booking process was nice and easy, forms and payments were professional and secure, every aspect has been 10 out of 10.
We had a lovely engagement shoot with them first and not only were the photos stunning, but we got the photos back super fast! We've had a sneak preview from our wedding day just a couple of days after and are obsessed! Can't wait for the full gallery and video.
Different Angle Photography was highly recommended to us and we can see why. They're amazing and made our day feel so special, even in not ideal weather!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
