Professional, friendly and discreet

Annette and Ray did a wonderful job at our wedding; they were always where they were needed, setting everyone at ease, gently directing shoots and capturing key moments without getting in anyone's face. We specifically wanted to hire a pair of photographers so as to ensure that both myself and my husband got a fair share of attention, since we have friends who regret having key moments only capturing one half of the couple.

Annette and Ray offer a test shoot as part of the package to get to know the venue/location and give us a chance to get used to being in front of the camera, which we did last summer. Neither my partner nor I are very comfortable with this, but Annette and Ray did a great job talking us through what they were doing, why, and giving us tips and tricks to make things feel more natural. They also let us bring our dog along to be part of the shoot!

On the day, they worked seamlessly together to ensure that everything we would want recorded was taken care of, along with a few parts we hadn't thought of! They took photos of our home-made decorations, captured the preparations, and discreetly followed up on my request to get joyous photos of a family member who, due to a terminal diagnosis, might not make it out to any future family events. They anticipated everything, managed the group shots smoothly, picked up items that had been forgotten, and helped to keep both of us calm, gently prompting us when necessary. They even got to chatting with our guests!

They sent us a small selection of photos the day after the wedding, and will be providing us with 500 images and a professionally-produced album once they have reviewed and edited the images from the day. We are looking forward to receiving these, and we would highly recommend their service to anyone in the Hampshire area.

Handled a short notice booking very well

Annette and Ray were able to work with us at pretty short notice for our wedding, and guided us through a lot of lovely locations at our venue for posed photos as well as capturing less planned shots throughout the day. In the end we got 700 high quality photos from them, which gave us plenty of memories from the day.

Excellent duo

Very good value for money, highly professional. DH Weddings spent time with us ensuring that that they captured the best shots for us. On the day they were prompt and only left when we were happy that all the photo opportunities were taken. At all times they made sure that we were satisfied with how the day ran. The engagement shoot was helpful to get used to the camera, and the walk around the week before the wedding gave us new ideas to use.

We would happily recommend this duo, we are so pleased with the final album and quality of the photos.

Thank you!

Annette and Ray were wonderful on our wedding day and we are so glad we chose them as our photographers! Two for the price of one which means you get Wonderful photos, especially the natural ones. You don't even notice being taken. They put their heart and soul into ensuring they capture the most important parts of your day and listen to whatever photos you would like to be taken.

I highly recommend them for any events not just weddings!
Thank you Annette and Ray!

We hired Ray and Annette for our wedding which was a bit unique in that we had a beach blessing abroad, but also had a small legal ceremony and a party for all our friends when we got back a few weeks apart. Despite us being a bit out of the ordinary Ray and Annette were really flexible and covered both the legal ceremony and party for us and also included a photo booth set up for the party.

Ray and Annette were so professional, reliable, trustworthy and organised the whole way through from booking them right up until the events themselves and the handover of our photos. They stayed in contact at various points leading up to the events, explained everything really clearly and did absolutely everything that they said they would do in a timely manner. We really appreciated them guiding us through and not having to chase them on anything.

One of the best things about Ray and Annette’s service is that they are also really friendly people who made us feel really comfortable in front of the cameras. This was helped by them organising a practice shoot, which was included in the price and the photos from this were fantastic, an extra bonus that we didn’t expect to get when we set out looking for a photographer.

The fact that they work as a pair is brilliant too because not only did we have our lovely formal shots, we also had some brilliant natural shots where they captured moments that we probably would have missed at the time. The photo booth was set up really well, they had a great range of props and everyone really enjoyed getting involved with it.

The quality of the photos that Ray and Annette took are fantastic, we are so pleased with them and cannot fault them at all.

Ray and Annette are fantastic, we are so pleased that we chose them and cannot recommend them highly enough!!

We were provided with brilliant service from start to finish. We were a bit dubious about the engagement shoot to start with but not only did it give us some lovely photos it also gave us a chance to practice poses so that on the day we were much more relaxed and knew what we were doing.

On the day everything was exactly as we wanted with a mixture of mostly informal shots along with a few more traditional ones. We couldn't have asked for the service to be any better and we had the added bonus of being able to book a photobooth for the evening which most people had a go in and we got some really good pics.

We have now had all our pictures given to us on a stick and are really pleased with them, we have a wide variety and various effects used on the same pic so we can decide which is our favourite. Our photos are going to be a brilliant reminder of our day from start to finish which we can look back on in years to come.

I initially booked DHWeddings as they were highly recommended by a friend, what a great choice it was! Annette and Ray took the photos at my wedding, they work really well together. We are really pleased with our photos, they captured everything we asked for and more.

As they suggested, we made a guest book for everyone to sign on our wedding day, from the photos they took at our pre-wedding shoot, what a fab idea! We loved that they were so organised for the traditional group shots we wanted, but were unobtrusive at other times getting some other great shots for us.

We really can't recommend them highly enough.
