If you are looking for a wedding photographer who can gracefully manage a wedding party, charm your relatives, and still somehow make you look like the best version of yourselves on the most chaotic, wonderful day of your life, then David is your guy. Truly, we are convinced he has unlocked some sort of secret life skill the rest of us weren’t taught.

From the very beginning, David showed up with the perfect blend of professionalism and personality. He’s the type of person who can walk into a room and instantly have everyone—yes, even the camera-shy ones—laughing, relaxed, and ready to be photographed without looking like startled deer. His humor is quick, effortless, and exactly what you need when you’re trying to wrangle a bridal party running on adrenaline, hairspray, and about three hours of sleep.

What really amazed us was how seamlessly he managed the flow of the entire day. Somehow, without ever seeming rushed or stressed, he kept everything on schedule—no small feat when you have relatives wandering off, shoes breaking, bouquets mysteriously disappearing, and the general chaos that comes with a wedding. David navigated it all like he had been given an advanced degree in wedding management. He was the calm in the storm, the voice of reason, and occasionally, the comedian who kept us sane.

And then… the photos. The photos.
David didn’t just capture moments; he captured personalities, emotions, and all the candid bits that made our day uniquely ours. Every picture feels like a living memory—authentic, warm, and beautifully composed without ever feeling forced. He has an incredible eye for detail and an uncanny ability to catch the in-between moments that end up becoming your favourites. We’ve looked through our gallery more times than we’d like to admit, alternating between laughing, crying, and saying, “How did he even get that shot?”

What sets David apart is that he doesn’t just show up with a camera—he shows up with heart. He genuinely cares about the couples he works with, and it shines through in every interaction and every photo. By the end of the night, he felt less like a vendor and more like a friend who just happened to take ridiculously good pictures.

We received our wedding photos that David and Joanna took, we love every single photo, slide show of our magical day. They captured the love, excitement, laughter and several happy tears, a picture can say a million word and they captured them. David and Joanna made us feel at ease and David jokes had us giggling away.
So a huge thank you David and Joanna for being our amazing wedding photographers.
Lots of love
Mr and Mrs Elson xx

David was so helpful in the run up to our wedding and such a fun energy during the day. Despite the rain, he was able to capture some wonderful memories for us and we are very grateful!
Thank you!

We really enjoyed working with David, Joanna and Rory for our wedding! The pictures are fantastic - he managed to make us and all our guests look great without ever telling anyone to smile or say cheese. He had great energy throughout the day, and kept everyone laughing. We are so happy with how all the pictures turned out!

We considered not having a photographer at our wedding, but ultimately thought we might regret it, so began a search for someone who we felt would capture our day the way we wanted and not blow the budget. By chance, we found David at Big Day Weddings, who offered a 4 hour session and had a load of photos that we liked the look of, so we booked him. We had a couple of Zoom meetings with David who was just great, we ended up chatting with him like we’d known him for years. We explained what we did / didn’t want from the photos and he really listened! On the day, he did convince us to do a few shots that were more posed than we might have chosen ourselves but as it turns out, they are our favourite ones and we’re so glad we went along with his vision and expertise!

If you want a someone who takes notice of what you want, but can gently nudge you to step out of your comfort zone, David is the photographer for you. This quirky, characterful man left us with zero regrets for booking him and has provided us with some really precious moments captured forever.

Thank you Big Day Weddings.

David was our photographer for our October Town Hall/ Restaurant reception wedding and we are so very pleased with the results! Spoke a couple of times before the big day to make sure we were all on the same page with the kinds of photos we were hoping for and on the day itself David did a really good job of rallying everyone for the more formal photos as well as moving around our guests to get the more candid natural shots. David sent us all of the photos taken on USB and CDs in both original large image quality and reduced more shareable quality which has been very helpful - for quick sharing but also for printing high quality wedding photos as Christmas gifts to our families (which they loved!). Looking forward to creating our wedding album with these beautiful images, thank you again!! K & A

You may now stop the search and just hire David.

One of the best decisions I have made in my adult life was doing just that! I love my wedding photos and videos. Every little request was met with a smile and I feel like we were always heard and listened to. Thank you for an amazing day and your amazing work. Can't wait to show my future children these photos.

Above and Beyond: David and Joanna are Absolute Magic! (5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)

​Where do we even begin? David and Joanna are not just photographers/videographers; they are absolute miracle workers and brought such incredible energy to our day.

​From the moment they arrived, they were perfectly on time, incredibly helpful, and just a joy to be around. They have this amazing talent for making you feel completely at ease. My partner and I felt so comfortable, and they made the entire experience feel effortless and completely natural—not staged or awkward at all.

​The results speak for themselves: they captured every single image we could have wished for, and then some! They truly went above and beyond what we could have dreamed of. Looking at the photos, we are constantly surprised by the beautiful, unexpected moments they managed to snag.

​They are professional, fun, enjoyable, and just genuinely good people. We are so incredibly happy with their work, we will absolutely be using them again for future milestones.
​If you are looking for people who deliver fantastic, high-quality results while making the process fun and natural, we highly recommend David and Joanna.

Thank you both so much!

We couldn’t be happier with the photography services provided by David on our wedding day. Not only is he talented, but he’s also reasonably priced. Leading up to the event, he was a great communicator, making sure everything was planned perfectly, and he kept the mood light and fun with his sense of humor. On the day, he captured every special moment with creativity and care, ensuring we have beautiful memories to cherish forever. The photos turned out stunning. We highly recommend David !

We had the pleasure of having David cover our wedding in August 2025, booking his half-day package after first meeting him about 18 months prior. The booking process was smooth and straightforward.

From our initial meeting, we loved David’s vibrant energy and engaging personality. He took the time to get to know us, asking thoughtful questions to understand our vision for the day. He clearly explained his approach and what we could expect, which gave us great confidence. We wanted a blend of formal group shots and natural in-the-moment captures, which David captured brilliantly.

On the day, David arrived on time and immediately began capturing natural, heartfelt moments as our guests arrived. He moved through the space with ease, blending nicely into the celebration. He was incredibly accommodating with our requests for various photo groupings and also lovely shots that resulted in some of our favourite shots.
Despite it being one of the hottest days of the year, David’s energy and focus never wavered. He was consistently professional, enthusiastic, and attentive throughout.
The final photos are perfect — they brilliantly reflect the joy and spirit of our special day. They were everything we hoped for and more.

David was the perfect photographer for our wedding, and we’re so grateful to have had him capture our special day.

From the first call, we knew that we had found our perfect photographer in David. He was warm and attentive, whilst remaining super professional and organised. David was the perfect addition to our day, with his funny and engaging nature, he put us and our guests at ease whilst making the typically formal photo taking part of the day a fun experience for everyone and capturing some wonderful moments. David has a way of being present when needed, but blending into the background when it was required, enabling him to take some really candid shots.
Many of our guests also commented to us on David’s fun and friendly personality and we felt like he added to our day. Nothing was too much trouble and he came well prepared with notes we had sent him and adapted to our many changes of venues! We received our photos back a lot sooner than we expected and David went above and beyond with his care and dedication to ensure we had everything we needed to have a lifetime of wonderful memories. We were so happy we chose David and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, warm, funny and highly talented photographer.

What can we say about David & his services... David was our photographer at our Wedding on 19.09.25. He made us felt at ease with zoom calls prior to the event to get to know us and how we are as a couple, to non stop snapping from day to night and even late into the night.
David was there to capture every moment. He is a fun, friendly, outgoing person who is great with crowds and capturing the vision and each and every moment. We cannot wait to see the pictures once they are ready.
Lots of my friends & family complimented him and am sure were shouting his name non stop to get this picture and that picture. You did not have to stay as late as you did but we appreciate that you went above & beyond so much. Thank you again, The Calder's. Top tier !!

David and Joanna are amazing. They made the day so stress free and fun for us. They captured our wedding through beautiful photos and can't recommend them enough! They are professional, kind and friendly. 5 stars!!!!! We've watched our slide show so many times and we truly relive the day! Thank you so much!

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos! David captured every special moment beautifully and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The photos are stunning, and we’ll treasure them forever. Highly recommend!

We cannot recommend David and Rory enough! The pictures and videos were so beautiful and cataloged the day perfectly. Both David and Rory were professional but human, allowing us and our guests to feeling comfortable, so much so we didn’t even recall many of the more natural pictures being taken because they were so discrete. David in particular has a wonderful sense of humour which fit well with our family and friends. We would recommend David and Rory to any prospective couples!
