Fantastic Photography - Highly Recommended!

We booked David for our event with only a few days notice, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Despite his busy schedule, he was able to accommodate us and was extremely easy to communicate with. His pricing was very competitive, offering great value for his excellent service.

David was a pro at the event. He managed to get the best shots without being intrusive, maintaining a fun atmosphere during group photos. This balance of professionalism and approachability was noted and appreciated by many of our guests.

His quick turnaround in providing the photos in various formats post-event was impressive. Also, his familiarity with London venues (ours was at Clissold House - Hackney) added to the ease of the day. He already knew where to get the best shots and we're really happy with how they turned out.

For anyone looking for a wedding photographer in London, I highly recommend David. He's skilled, friendly, and truly adds to the day.

Fantastic!

David was our wedding photographer and he was absolutely fabulous! Super professional, there was great communication leading up to the event and we felt so taken care of and reassured. David arrived early on the day to scout out the venue and capture all the decorations, and then when the wedding began he was so upbeat, he knew exactly how to make different groups of guests relax and smile/laugh for the photos and he seemed to somehow be everywhere all at once! We have been sent over a thousand stunning photos with each of our guests captured and it's such an incredible gift! We are spoilt for choice! Seriously, I couldn't recommend David enough as a wedding photographer. Look no further!

We love our Photos!

As soon as we met David on line we knew he was the perfect photographer for our wedding. He understood immediately our ideas and how we imagined our photos would be and as importantly he made us feel entirely at ease with him. On the day he was there early to meet both of us having spent time searching for prime spots in the grounds for the best photos to be taken. Professional, personable, fun, interactive and inclusive of all the guests doesn’t do justice to how good he really is!! Thank you David for the major part you played on our day. The photos are absolutely brilliant !!

Exceptional photographs from an exceptional photographer!

David was not just documenting our big day but he was also an active contributor to making it a big day!
His photographs are exceptional and have drawn plaudits from all our guests with one commenting "He's a talent that photographer!"
In addition he made the taking of the photographs an enjoyable experience for all and brought humour and energy to the event.
We love the work he's produced for us, and for the timeless evocation it gives us of a truly joyous day!

An excellent choice with versatility and professionalism

We are so delighted that we chose David to capture the photos on our wedding day. It was great working together. David go to know us and understand what we were hoping for in terms of the photos and the style we were after. Also we were working to a big time pressure which David accommodated perfectly.
When we returned from our honeymoon we were truly over the moon. The images we now have are so beautiful and special and we are truly bowled over.
Thank you so much David!
For anyone considering a professional photographer - look no further - we cannot recommend highly enough!

The best wedding photographer

We got married on 11 th April 2023. It rained very heavily on my wedding day and i thought it will ruin my photography, but David is soo creative and such an amazing photographer that none of photos looked impacted by rains. He made our day. David is soo perfect that i dint even had to ask him that what i am looking for. His services were above my expectations. He not only got involved with all my family and friends but he also captured each moment of the day. Everyones expressions and everything was looking soo natural. I got alot of compliments for my big day on my social media due to the best pictures clicked by David. If you book david for your wedding day trust me you are in the best hands♥️

Thankyou soo much David.

Our most special day captured to perfection

We recently planned a fairly last minute, low key afternoon church wedding and asked David to capture our day and with his creative style it looks like we planned the most exquisite day down to the finest detail. He provided us with an incredible amount of pictures and they are all truly wonderful.
The slide show to music that is included in the package is really something very special to treasure.

From the first contact I knew I had made the right choice on photographer. I felt David understood us and our take on a relaxed, low key wedding perfectly. I was immediately at ease talking with him on the phone and as soon as I met met him on the day I was instantly relaxed. We can't believe how he managed to capture so many shots in so many different places seemingly all at the same time! A guest even commented 'where did you find this guy, he is brilliant'.

The images are incredible and have far exceeded expectionations. It is such a great mix of guests in the moment looking happy and relaxed but also some amazing orchestrated shots with David's creative direction which are extremely unique and look amazing. His artistic flair shines through and we are thrilled with everything that he managed to capture. It is a true essence of the day.

I would not hesitate the recommend him to any friends in the future.

Beautiful Photos!

From our initial conversation with David we knew he would be brilliant. He listened to all our ideas, made loads of helpful suggestions, had lots of local knowledge around the venue and good spots for photos, and filled us with confidence. On the day he was superb - he was chatty and friendly with our guests, made everyone feel very at ease and expertly arranged the group shots. He somehow managed to be everywhere at once and capture every moment of the day while also being completely unobtrusive and blending into the background. The photos themselves were wonderful; so many to choose from, natural and colourful and exactly like we wanted. We are so grateful to him for producing such beautiful photos, but also for being such a fun part of the day and cannot recommend his services highly enough! Joanna & Tom

Brilliant!!

David and Kristine were so professional and amazing to get along with. They kept us so calm when things weren’t going to plan. They were so friendly with the every person on the day and made it a very personal experience. We even got a call from David a few days before the wedding to see how we were and if we had any questions. Without a doubt I will be recommending Big Day Weddings to anyone getting married!!!

Thank you so much David and Kristine!

Thank you for perfectly capturing our special day!

David did a fantastic job photographing our wedding and was great fun to work with from start to finish. He added to the day itself with his humour, but that was paired with top tier professionalism. We are so pleased with how the photos came out too! Thank you David for so brilliantly capturing our special day. Freddie & Annthia x

Amazing and Unforgettable

We booked David to capture our intimate wedding and he was amazing! We were very happy with the service David provided, he ensured we had a quiet moment away from the guests and we got some fabulous couple shots. I would highly recommend David if you want amazing wedding photos and a photographer who is willing to go above and beyond on your special day.

Engagement Photoshoot

What an amazing little afternoon, Dave was really professional and put us at ease immediately. He had an excellent eye for detail and picked some fantastic spots for our photos - even if they felt unorthodox at the time. We really enjoyed our afternoon - and the photos that we were left with were unbelievable, truly an artist at work! Thanks Dave
