    Please DO NOT employ these cowboys for your wedding.

    We unfortunately booked Wilson & Daria for our wedding and the service provided was woefully short of what you would expect from "professional" wedding photographers. We initially met both on a zoom call and all seemed fine, the portfolio is Daria's work and it was evident from the reviews that she was the lead photographer so we were happy to proceed. However, for some reason they failed to communicate to us at any point that Daria was pregnant and due 2 days after our wedding. The first red flag was at the pre-wedding shoot when only Wilson showed up, there were immediate concerns about the positions he was putting us in and where we were facing relatively to sunlight and this showed in the output. There was no word that Daria couldn't make it to our big day, and we only found out on the day itself when Wilson showed up with a work experience photography student plus another colleague, both of who we had never met or been introduced to before. This is our wedding day, we carefully selected a photographer based on their portfolio, it's not just 'call your mates because your wife can't make it'. All of our guests noticed how none of them were coordinating photos, putting people into place, capturing the key moments, directing which way to look and finding the best locations to take a shot - basically doing everything photographers should do. With it being our wedding day and lots going on, we noticed ourselves but didn't think too much of it. It wasn't until we got the preview of the "best shots" that alarm bells truly rang. The photos were absolutely shocking. We raised our concerns to Wilson who sent even more which were equally as bad. I can honestly tell you that there was something wrong with every single photo, whether that's someone in the way (including another photographer), people caught off guard, bad angle, grainy image, poor lighting, everyone looking in different directions etc. The majority of the pictures were taken whilst Wilson was stood at the back of the room just zooming in on everyone's faces. He missed key moments that we explicitly asked to be captured in advance. He didn't even take a shot of the bride on her own, with a nice background or posing. There is only a shot of the back of her head. There isn't a single photo we could put in a frame, we are having to pay additional money to get an actual professional to photoshop the pictures to get them to an acceptable standard. Wilson didn't even try and edit them as he promised in the agreement of service. When we challenged him on the dreadful quality of the album he pulled out some hilarious excuses, saying that some of the photos are grainy because it was dark (ever heard of a flash?) despite knowing that our wedding was in the winter months way in advance. We have desperately tried to get compensation for these photos because we have been absolutely scammed but he keeps ignoring us and there has been no word from Daria since the initial zoom meeting. We're actually really surprised that she's happy to sit in silence whilst her husband trashes her reputation. There is absolutely no way this was a one off and I would warn everyone away from them. If you don't believe me, take a look at the evidence attached.

    Daria is a superhero!

    Daria did an amazing job capturing the most special day of our lives. She was kind, so efficient, and incredibly skilled. She managed to make models out of us and our guests!

    Thank you Daria and Wilson for the beautiful photos! We will definitely be reaching out again in the future!

    Sarah & Craig’s Review

    We had a brilliant experience from start to finish. The booking process was straight forward and our pre-wedding photo consultation made us feel really at ease before the big day. Daria was very professional, friendly and helpful and kept things flowing without a fuss. We are thrilled with what was captured and have great set of photos to remember our special day! We also really appreciated the flexibility and for going the extra mile to give some extra time and photos! We would recommend without hesitation.

    Captured the essence of the day

    Wilson and Daria were great, super friendly and professional and they really knew how to get everyone looking their best in the pictures. We’ve just got our wedding photos back and they really captured the essence of the day, plus compared to some other options we looked at they were very good value and had a range of options to pick from to suit any budget.

    Lovely couple and even better photos!

    We can’t begin to thank Daria and Wilson enough for capturing our special day! On the day, Daria and the team were absolutely fantastic. If you choose the video offering as well, they do some really cool drone work! We’ve absolutely loved both the sneak peeks and the pre-wedding photo shoot pictures thus far and can’t wait to see the full gallery and video.

    Beautiful moments captured by Wilson and his team!

    I spoke to quite a few photographers before coming across Daria and Wilson but when I did, I knew they were the right fit for us. They were very easy-going and honest with us from the very beginning. My husband doesn’t really like taking photos but when we did the engagement shoot, we both felt at ease and the photos turned out beautifully! On the wedding day, Wilson and his team were so brilliant and lovely to work with. They were very creative, and it just felt so effortless. I also really liked that they provide a videographer as well – it was great not having to cater for the cost of that elsewhere! We’ve received the sneak peek photos, and we can’t wait to receive the rest! Their style is candid yet beautiful, they really captured moments that tell such a lovely story! We highly recommend them!

    My mind ease

    Wilson made our day simple and easy and we didn’t have to worry about anything. He knew what we wanted and took amazing photos for us. He gently coached us in situations to get the best effect to the point you didn’t even know he was there. The photos we got are excellent and I couldn’t recommend Wilson more. Thank you.

    Blow away by the results

    We were incredibly happy with Daria and her partner as they accompanied us on our wedding day! The final photos were everything we hoped for and more. They made everyone, not just the couple, look so amazing - we have never looked and did not believe we could look that good in photos. And they absolutely have that unmistakable 100% professional shine which we were dreaming of (instead of that familiar other almost but not quite as good semi-professional hobbyist look which one often finds).
    A couple more words of praise:
    - Communication was super easy and they arrived in time to capture guests arriving.
    - They have great versatility in getting high-quality shots in all settings, outdoors and indoors, staged and spontaneous.
    - We were guided expertly in the staged shots where to stand, how to stand, what to wear etc. to make it look natural, not something obvious if one is not used to have one's likeness taken.
    - They managed to have every single guest represented, nobody was left out.
    - Graciously stayed till the end of the agreed schedule, even though we were running a few minutes behind.
    - The rates are very reasonable for results that are the best of what we have seen comparing and browsing through hundreds of portfolios online. Daria, you could charge a lot more!
    An unreserved recommendation to anyone considering them!

    Brilliant wedding photographer

    Daria is fantastic! We loved her photos of our civil ceremony so much we rebooked her for our second wedding party the following year, and we are delighted with the pictures.

    She takes the time to understand what you want from the photos and the result is stunning, natural pictures to capture the day. Daria is also very good at organising people for the photos (which isn’t always easy) and makes sure you get all the right pictures.

    She is also a lovely person and we would highly recommend her, it was a pleasure to have her be a part of our day(s).
