    Just phenomenal…

    Choosing a wedding photographer was actually one of the last things on our list, as we initially put most of our focus into videography and just wanted someone hired on an hourly basis. Finding someone offering hourly rates was a rare find in itself, but finding someone who was also incredible was the absolute best bonus we could have asked for. If we had to do it all over again, we would choose Day & Knight Photography in a heartbeat!

    From our very first phone call and emails (where his humour and personality instantly shone through), James put us totally at ease. We are naturally very awkward and goofy when nervous (so basically the entire day!) and I was so worried that would translate into awkward, uncomfortable photos. Instead, he made us feel completely comfortable, was hilarious, and reassured us that being our true selves was totally okay.

    He was attentive to everything we asked for, but also went above and beyond by capturing things we didn’t even think to ask for. He picked up on our vibe seamlessly without ever being intrusive or pushy, and some of those spontaneous shots have ended up being our absolute favourite photos of the day. Like most people, we’re pretty self conscious too and being in front of a camera fills us with ick, but we felt so comfortable and just.. “us” which we credit a lot of to James. He captured a perfect mix of stunning posed shots and priceless candid moments.

    If you want a photographer who feels like a friend, keeps you laughing, and captures genuine, beautiful memories then look no further!

    P.S. the turnaround time on our photos was epic and I’d have expected to wait much longer for the quality of photos we received. Cannot praise him highly enough!!

    Wow! Do not hesitate to book!

    If we could give more than 5 stars, we would.
    I honestly couldn’t recommend James anymore if I tried. He was absolutely unreal from start to finish. Nothing felt too posed, everything was natural and he was fully involved and invested throughout.
    He was so friendly, kind and helpful. If you’re thinking of booking him, do it!!!!!

    When he says he blends in, he blends in!

    James was fantastic!! Steph and I couldn’t sing his praises enough. Throughout the day, James was snapping away, he did tell us he would just blend in and ge delivered massively!!!

    Just like another guest he went about his business and captured our day perfectly and made us and the guests feel at ease.

    We cannot wait to see the final product, but the teaser pictures are sensational!

    Thank you again James! X

    Sorry James, you're stuck with us!

    James, where do we begin... Firstly, I am so glad we chose you for our wedding following a recommendation and my goodness I am so glad we did that. I honestly couldn't imagine not having you at our wedding. You bought so much joy, fun and laughter with you, as well as taking some beautiful photos which we will cherish forever. Not only have you done our engagement shoot and wedding photos, I know for certain it will be you we go for for all photography going forward and I can't wait for the day we are asking you to do maternity shoots and family photos. All I can say James, is thank you. And to anyone who is reading this review, book James. You won't regret it, I promise you.

    Amazing photographer

    I had been following Day & Knight on socials for a while, so when we booked our wedding date it was a no brainer to hopefully get them hired to do our photography. Before the wedding we also had a newborn photoshoot and as expected those photos were amazing and whilst we don't have the full wedding photo's back, there is no doubt these will be as stunning.
    James really makes everyone feel comfortable and in the nicest way possible you don't realize he is there because everything feels 100% natural. Not only were we happy but so many guests have complemented James and said what an amazing guy he is.

    Go with James and Emily!! End of!!

    Go with James and Emily, 100%. Enough said! They were brilliant and I could not sing their praises enough. From the very first call we knew we had the right people. James and Emily were a dream to work with.... super responsive, fun whilst professional, super talented and skilled at what they do. We absolutely love the feel, look and quality of our photos and video and can't wait to see our finished album too.

    Professional, fun and responsive!

    We got married back in May 2023 and wanted to capture our day with a style we loved!! James’s photography was exactly what we were looking for and we weren’t disappointed. He was amazing on the day, made everyone in front of the camera instantly comfortable and even blended in with our guests! We are more than pleased with our results and look forward to putting them on our walls for everyone else to see!
    (I’ve listed just SOME of our favourites!)

    Thankyou James, and of course Emily too!

    Everything we could've asked for!

    James is an incredibly talented photographer, but also just a genuinely fun, friendly, and all round wonderful person. My husband and I are both quite camera shy, never had much confidence being photographed but James made us feel so comfortable and he fit right in with our day, but (and I mean this in the most positive way possible) sometimes we didn't even realise he was there, just snapping away and not distracting from crucial moments or ordering people around. He has such an incredible eye for detail and some of our wedding photos are just absolutely stunning and surpassed every expectation I ever had! We had so many laughs, so much helpful guidance when it came to posing and every single guest had nothing but compliments for James, especially my close family.
    The process leading up to the wedding was fab, James and Emily made sure they had all the details they needed to keep the day running as smooth as possible and were super flexible when we wanted to change to a package with more coverage quite close to our wedding date. The after-wedding process was smooth too, with our photos back to us in a short time, and excitement built from seeing little teasers shared on social media. I would absolutely recommend Day and Knight Photography to anyone and everyone for their wedding!

    Really happy with having this lovely couple join us to capture our day. I would have a like a few more versions of some of the photos but would defo recommend them. They understood our vibe and what we were after and were a pleasure to have at our wedding.

    Amazing Photographer!

    Both my husband and I can’t recommend James enough! Our wedding photos are simply stunning and are everything we had wished for. Our wedding mini movie is so lovely and it captured all the emotions from the day perfectly. It was so so nice to watch it and I’m so glad we booked it!
    From the moment James arrived, he was friendly and professional. He made everyone feel at ease! James had so many compliments from our guests saying how nice he was.

    Thank you James for all your hard work and beautiful photos. We are truly grateful.
