    Above and beyond!

    Doug was fantastic, I'm so glad we found him. Communication before the event was brilliant, putting us at ease before the big day and gathering as much info about what we would like and the order of our day to make sure it all ran smoothly. Many guests commented on how good he was, capturing all the best bits and adding lots of fun! Thank you again for being part of our day.

    Never did Doug try and pressure me fr more than what I asked for …. I only booked Doug for 2 hours just enough time to get the ceremony photos, he stayed way beyond that time and gave me the most beautiful photos,even when I printed them the quality was unbelievable

    Best ever photos, the quality was outstanding and absolutely beautiful . Totally did us proud

    Highly recommend!!

    I’m so pleased my husband and I chose Doug to be our wedding photographer. Throughout the whole process he was very professional and friendly, we had a video call also to talk through the order of the day. My husband and I are quite awkward people but Doug put us at ease, made us feel very comfortable and made having photos a really enjoyable experience. He took so many photos and uploaded them with a link which made it easy to share these with family and friends. We absolutely love the photos, they are very highly quality and beautiful. Would highly recommend Doug, thank you so much!

    Wedding Photographer

    We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. From the very beginning, communication was excellent – clear, prompt, and reassuring, which really helped put us at ease in the lead-up to the day.

    On the day itself, he was incredibly professional while also making everything feel relaxed and fun. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but he made us feel completely at ease and kept the experience enjoyable rather than awkward. His friendly approach helped everyone feel comfortable, which really shows in the photos.

    We’re so grateful for how smoothly everything ran and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who is professional, approachable, and a genuine pleasure to work with.

    Top class company

    Doug and Steve were a pure asset to our wedding. First class service and nothing was too much for them. Photos and videos were top quality and arrived fast. On the day they were present exactly how we requested and even helped catch the little moments we missed. I would recommend to everyone and anyone wanting affordable top class service. 5 stars.

    Perfect Photographer!

    Doug was absolutely amazing! He was professional but friendly and very thorough.

    He kept in contact and set out expectations for us. Gave us hints and tips to ensure we got the perfect photos which we did!

    Punctual and made sure we had such lovely photos to remember the day! Such great value for money!

    April Wedding

    Doug has left us lost for words with the FANTASTIC job he did for our wedding! When we met Doug, he gave off this energetic and positive vibe that was perfect for us. Throughout the planning process he was very understanding and tailored to our every need. On the day Doug was not only professional but fun too! We managed to get everything done that we needed to. I can’t describe how stunning the photos that we received are. He truly captured the love and magic of our wedding day!
    We will definitely be using Doug again in the future and will highly recommend him to anyone who needs a photographer!
