How do you work?

We would meet and agree the styles you like and outline of the day. I usually work with an assistant to help ensure the day runs smoothly. Edited pictures to you within 2-4 weeks after the wedding

The BEST photographers we could have hoped for

Smey and Doug did more than capture our day; they calmed our nerves, herded us to where we were able to be, and made sure everyone was relaxed and having fun. We really couldn’t fault them, and will forever be grateful for how hard they both worked to eternalise our magical day

Friendly professionals!

Smey and Doug captured our wedding in April 2025 and we would absolutely recommend them! True professionals who work in a kind and friendly manner. Our wedding photos were delivered so quickly and edited beautifully as a collection. We are truly grateful we found Smey and Doug at a local wedding fayre as they captured our special day as memories we will cherish forever.
