A great experience

We are so grateful to have had Duncan as our wedding photographer. From the moment we first spoke with him, he was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in capturing our day perfectly. On the wedding day itself, he put us completely at ease – blending in seamlessly with our guests while still managing to capture every important detail and all the little candid moments in between.

The photos are absolutely stunning and tell the story of our day so beautifully. Duncan has such an incredible eye for natural light and emotion; every picture feels timeless and full of life. We couldn’t believe how quickly we had a sneak peak of our gallery, and the quality is beyond anything we could have hoped for.

So many of our guests commented on how friendly and approachable he was, and it honestly felt like having another friend there with us rather than just a photographer. Choosing Duncan was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Highly recommend to any couple looking for not only breathtaking photos but also a calm, supportive presence on their big day.

Professional, Fun, and Exceptional Results

We had an incredible experience with Duncan! He was patient, made us feel at ease, and beautifully captured natural moments. His skill with natural light was impressive, and the final gallery was breathtaking. These photos are treasures we will cherish forever. Highly recommend!

What a find!

Duncan,
we truly can't put into words how you've managed to capture the magic of our special day!
Every photo is amazing and captures another little part of the day, the behind the scene pics in the Bridal suite and the Den stand out for capturing the finer details and the unseen part of the day. We are so very lucky to have found and booked you as our photographer and the results truly do speak for themselves.
The laughs and memories have came flooding back, liz didn't even know I had sat on the ice cream bike 😂.
We will be going through them fully and definitely be ordering a few professional prints of our special day.
Thanks again they really have made our week seeing them!

September wedding

I couldn’t recommend Duncan enough! Every single person after our wedding has mentioned how amazing he was! For a couple who doesn’t like our photo taken much, he made us feel comfortable and his pictures really show it, they are the best photos I could have ever wished for! He went above and beyond on the day and even helped up when the limo didn’t turn up for our bridesmaids! I wouldn’t think twice booking Duncan and you won’t be disappointed! Thank you for everything again

Duncan is great!

Duncan was amazing! He was recommended to us by a friend, and we’re so glad we went with him. Super friendly, easy to chat to, and kept in touch throughout which really put us at ease on the day.

We got a handful of photos the very next day and the rest followed within a couple of months. The photos are absolutely gorgeous – we’re so happy with them! Couldn’t recommend Duncan enough.

Duncan arrived early and stayed later than planned. Went above and beyond. Made everyone relaxed. Helped with the blokes button holes, was great engaging kids to feel relaxed and involved. Professional and brilliant with all the guests and the images were beautiful. We received the images back very promptly. Thanks Duncan.

Great Photographer & amazing photos

Duncan was our photographer for our wedding back in May. He was absolutely amazing & made everyone feel at ease esp those of us who aren’t fans of having pictures taken. From our first meeting through engagement shoot & Wedding Duncan was great to work with & our photos have turned out amazing. He was able to capture amazing candid moments throughout the whole day along with a wide selection of portraits & details. Duncan was fun to have around, breezed in & out of the prep rooms / ceremony area and made everyone smile & feel comfortable.

So many of our friends & family complimented on the photos & how amazing they are along with the variety of photos we received & also complimented how great Duncan was to have around.

If you are lucky enough to have a date that Duncan is available then do not miss a chance to book him as we couldn’t recommend him more highly. Also value for money is great we got more than we could have imagined & Duncan’s services don’t break the bank.

Thank You Duncan for everything

Excellent!

We couldn't be happier withour experience with Duncan Edward! From the moment we met and on our wedding day, he brought such a calm, friendly energy that put everyone at ease. He had an incredible way of making people feel comfortably and relaxed in front of the camera, even the ones who usually shy away! He was professional and organised as well as fun to have around on the day. He captured every special moment beautifully from the big emotional highlights to the little candid details that we will forever treasure. The photos are stunning, natural, full of emotion and tell our day perfectly. We had som many compliment from family and friends about both the photos and how lovely Duncan was work with.

If you are looking for someone who is talented, approachable, and will make your day enjoyable and fun, I highly recommend!

Stunning! Perfection!

Wow. What a photographer! Duncan was absolutely incredible on the run up to our day and on the day! He was friendly and professional and captured all the moments I'd asked for with ease! Duncan made sure to get the best shots and was popping up through the day making sure to snap away! His creativity was game changing and the sneak peeks we've received have made me so excited to receive the lot! Could not recommend more! What a guy! If you want a friendly, professional, personable, incredible photographer then Duncan is your man!

The best photographer

Couldn't fault Duncan! He made you feel so comfortable, and very well knowledgeable.
We received our sneak pic photos the day after the wedding, and they were great. We are looking forward to receiving the rest of the photos from the daye.

Photographer review

Duncan was very professional with me and my wife for our wedding. He took care of all the photos of our special day and organised it without me and my wife having to worry about it. He is very friendly and easy to talk to and is passionate about his work.

Everything we wanted and more!

Duncan and Ben were amazing!
professional, we loved that Duncan was looking at things from a different angle, which meant we didn't have the same old, same old pictures. We had some really creative ones.
Listened to us when discussing what pictures we wanted, also understood us as a couple and represented us really well within the pictures.
Also, very good at crowd control and letting the guests know what was needed, while also being invisible when needed (In a good way!)
Loved that we had pictures printed and subtlety given to us during our wedding breakfast to have a sneak peak!
Duncan was amazing, could recommend highly enough!

The best!!

Duncan was literally everything we needed on our wedding day! He was so calm amongst the madness of getting our requested photos ticked off. He helped out in every aspect of the day, including dressing the page boys (and probably groomsmen ha) highly recommend booking in Duncan for your wedding!

Wrenbury Hall August 2024

Duncan was such an amazing photographer and the photos he produced for us were amazing. So many of our family and friends agreed. He helped us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and helped guide poses as both me and my husband were very inexperienced. Would definitely recommend him to anyone that asks.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Duncan Edward
Owner/Photographer

I first picked up a camera at the age of 9 years old when my next door neighbour's dad gave me what 'I think' was a Pentax K1000. From that point I fell in love with ‘the camera’ and at the age of 15 years gained my first job with a Commercial Photographer in Belfast, Northern Ireland! Four hard years later, and 2 years in the Middle East, I decided to put the camera down - still young, impressionable and having witnessed too many unpleasant sights through a camera lens, I was encouraged to find a ‘proper job’ so photography became a ‘hobby!

Some years later, with encouragement from friends and family, photography became a permanent feature back in my life - and many more years later in March 2016 my wife and I opened our studio. Situated on the fabulous and inspiring Wheelbirks Estate, the 800 sq ft studio that is set within 360 beautiful acres of land enables us to offer photo-shoot packages that provide both studio time and location time, something that we believe to be a very unique offering within the area.

Finally my bio picture (as I dont have just one of me) is me and my two wonderful children..
