Fantastic Photography - Highly Recommended!

We booked David for our event with only a few days notice, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Despite his busy schedule, he was able to accommodate us and was extremely easy to communicate with. His pricing was very competitive, offering great value for his excellent service.

David was a pro at the event. He managed to get the best shots without being intrusive, maintaining a fun atmosphere during group photos. This balance of professionalism and approachability was noted and appreciated by many of our guests.

His quick turnaround in providing the photos in various formats post-event was impressive. Also, his familiarity with London venues (ours was at Clissold House - Hackney) added to the ease of the day. He already knew where to get the best shots and we're really happy with how they turned out.

For anyone looking for a wedding photographer in London, I highly recommend David. He's skilled, friendly, and truly adds to the day.

Exceptional photographs from an exceptional photographer!

David was not just documenting our big day but he was also an active contributor to making it a big day!
His photographs are exceptional and have drawn plaudits from all our guests with one commenting "He's a talent that photographer!"
In addition he made the taking of the photographs an enjoyable experience for all and brought humour and energy to the event.
We love the work he's produced for us, and for the timeless evocation it gives us of a truly joyous day!

An excellent choice with versatility and professionalism

We are so delighted that we chose David to capture the photos on our wedding day. It was great working together. David go to know us and understand what we were hoping for in terms of the photos and the style we were after. Also we were working to a big time pressure which David accommodated perfectly.
When we returned from our honeymoon we were truly over the moon. The images we now have are so beautiful and special and we are truly bowled over.
Thank you so much David!
For anyone considering a professional photographer - look no further - we cannot recommend highly enough!

The best wedding photographer

We got married on 11 th April 2023. It rained very heavily on my wedding day and i thought it will ruin my photography, but David is soo creative and such an amazing photographer that none of photos looked impacted by rains. He made our day. David is soo perfect that i dint even had to ask him that what i am looking for. His services were above my expectations. He not only got involved with all my family and friends but he also captured each moment of the day. Everyones expressions and everything was looking soo natural. I got alot of compliments for my big day on my social media due to the best pictures clicked by David. If you book david for your wedding day trust me you are in the best hands♥️

Thankyou soo much David.

Our most special day captured to perfection

We recently planned a fairly last minute, low key afternoon church wedding and asked David to capture our day and with his creative style it looks like we planned the most exquisite day down to the finest detail. He provided us with an incredible amount of pictures and they are all truly wonderful.
The slide show to music that is included in the package is really something very special to treasure.

From the first contact I knew I had made the right choice on photographer. I felt David understood us and our take on a relaxed, low key wedding perfectly. I was immediately at ease talking with him on the phone and as soon as I met met him on the day I was instantly relaxed. We can't believe how he managed to capture so many shots in so many different places seemingly all at the same time! A guest even commented 'where did you find this guy, he is brilliant'.

The images are incredible and have far exceeded expectionations. It is such a great mix of guests in the moment looking happy and relaxed but also some amazing orchestrated shots with David's creative direction which are extremely unique and look amazing. His artistic flair shines through and we are thrilled with everything that he managed to capture. It is a true essence of the day.

I would not hesitate the recommend him to any friends in the future.

Beautiful Photos!

From our initial conversation with David we knew he would be brilliant. He listened to all our ideas, made loads of helpful suggestions, had lots of local knowledge around the venue and good spots for photos, and filled us with confidence. On the day he was superb - he was chatty and friendly with our guests, made everyone feel very at ease and expertly arranged the group shots. He somehow managed to be everywhere at once and capture every moment of the day while also being completely unobtrusive and blending into the background. The photos themselves were wonderful; so many to choose from, natural and colourful and exactly like we wanted. We are so grateful to him for producing such beautiful photos, but also for being such a fun part of the day and cannot recommend his services highly enough! Joanna & Tom

Brilliant!!

David and Kristine were so professional and amazing to get along with. They kept us so calm when things weren’t going to plan. They were so friendly with the every person on the day and made it a very personal experience. We even got a call from David a few days before the wedding to see how we were and if we had any questions. Without a doubt I will be recommending Big Day Weddings to anyone getting married!!!

Thank you so much David and Kristine!

Excellent!

David photographed our special day at Marylebone Town Hall and did a fantastic job! He kept us at ease, knew all of the best shots for photos and even provided some light entertainment on the grand piano! Naturally, all of the photos came out great and we are so please we picked him. Communication up to the day was also excellent, and the turn around for the finished product was very quick. Thank you.

Great photographer!

We are so glad we had David as our wedding photographer! Having our photo taken is definitely not our favourite thing but he managed to make us feel super relaxed. He had a great way of using humour to get smiles out of all our guests for photos too and even managed some smiles from the toddlers! He met with us virtually before the wedding day to get an idea of what we wanted and chatted through ideas. I’d highly recommend!

Brilliant Wedding Photographer

David did a terrific job for us on our wedding day. He has created some brilliant and memorable shots and delivered them in top quality formats far more quickly than expected. He was full of good ideas, a pleasure to have with us at our small and intimate ceremony and we honestly couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Perfect, perfect, perfect

Had such an amazing experience with David from day number 1. We both knew he would be perfect for our alternative wedding and understanding our vision. He was always willing to listen and took into account everything we asked for while adding some amazing ideas to it!
On the day he made both of us feel super comfortable (both me and my husband are introverts) but on the day we completely forgot our worries.
I would strongly recommend David without a doubt!

October Micro Wedding

We had the pleasure to have David as photographer to our small wedding at the end of October. It was a great experience and David helped make our day even more special. He was very professional, arrived on time, made us feel at ease with easy guidance and a humorous environment, was very attentive to details and most importantly provided us great pictures of the day! We would highly recommend David as a photographer and just another friend for your special day! Thank you!
