Amazing images

David was excellent from start to finish. His website is easy to navigate, cost structure is very clear, which isn't the case for all wedding photographers. His communication was excellent. We had the pre wedding shoot and second shooter options and they were well worth it. Doing a pre wedding shoot gets you used to being photographed, although David says he is a documentary photographer and did mostly candid shots, you will inevitably want some 'staged' photos on your wedding day, group shots etc. And the pre shoot was helpful for that, whilst also providing some lovely photos in a place that was special to us. On the day, David and his second shooter were both very low key, but still managed to get amazing photos in the heart of the action. He's also a really nice guy and easy to chat and get on with. Would very much recommend.

Couldn't recommend highly enough

Dave put us at ease from the moment we first spoke to him. After an issue with our original photographer, we decided to go with Dave instead and we are so very glad we did. His photography style was to our taste, he put us at ease and made the whole experience so much fun, and given the fact neither me nor my husband particularly like posed photos that was no mean feat! He was a brilliant addition to our day personally as well as a great supplier. We have seen a couple of photos ahead of the main batch which we adore. We can't wait to see the rest!

Beautiful photos, so easy to work with

David was brilliant!

We're so happy we have loads of beautiful photos of our friends and family, plus lots of us looking our best! I love that he even managed to capture my nan who was dialled in on facetime.

It was lovely having David there with us on the day, and a lot of the time I had no idea he was there but he captured loads!

Fantastic in every way

It's taken far too long to write this review as Dave actually shot our wedding in August 2021! We first met Dave after being recommended him by a photographer we met at a wedding event, and it turned out to be a fantastic recommendation.

We met five or six photographers in total and just knew Dave was right straight away. His style and quality of photos were exactly what we were looking for, and he's a really friendly guy to boot!

Our wedding was a covid-affected one, taking place a year after planned and over that time Dave was super flexible and accommodating as we stayed in touch over a very stressful period.

On the day him and the second shooter were just great. The documentary style was amazingly well done (you'd barely know they were there for so many shots!) and so many amazing moments were caught perfectly. When we got access to a sneak peak of 20, just one week later, we were blown away. When we got the full set, we spent hours looking back and reliving the day. I'm biased obviously, but the photos were simply amazing and did the day justice perfectly. I don't remember seeing a better set of wedding photos!

Dave's photos now adorn our house and he caught the mood of the day so well. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dave at all and if he's available and his relaxed, documentary style is what you're looking for, you'll struggle to find anyone better!

Amazing wedding photographer

Dave did such an amazing job for our wedding day, he captured the whole day perfectly and had such a lovely attitude on the day and throughout the planning/after journey. He made sure to leave no stone unturned and the photos capture every part of the day the way it unfolded. We are so happy with the photos we have and the album and photo reel are just perfect! We couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Excellent, high quality service.

We loved having Dave take our wedding photos. He was very professional and put us at ease throughout the entire experience, including prior to our wedding day when he also took some engagement photos for us. We are very pleased with the high quality of our wedding photos and he captured some great moments throughout the day. Would very highly recommend.

Keeping everything relaxed

We used Dave for our wedding at Pembroke Lodge in September and could not be happier! Dave was just amazing from the very beginning in putting us at ease, keeping everything relaxed and making sure everything ran smoothly. He was so brilliant throughout the day with him blending in (I wasn't even aware of him taking pictures most of the time!) and he stayed so so late into the night to capture some of the best pictures of all our different guests partying away into the night on the dance floor. The quality of pictures are outstanding - with so much colour and light. We have so many too chose from its impossible to pick our faves :-) We also love how the real soul of the whole day including all the magic, fun and laughter really comes through in all the pictures.

We could not recommend Dave more! From the contact leading up to the wedding and the day itself, Dave made us feel relaxed and at ease. The photos are beautiful, all very natural and they really capture the day and the people perfectly. Thank you Dave! - Sinead & Jonny

Gif photo booth

The Gif Booth is the best fun! Eric and I had it at our wedding and it went down a storm. Looks amazing and so easy to use, love the instant text to phones. We wanted that little something different to your normal photo booth.
Dave was brilliant, so attentive and made everyone feel so relaxed. The props were great as well. Thank you so much, Dave, for making our wedding so fun for not only Eric and I, but also all of the guests! Ena x
