    Fantastic Photgrapher

    David was brilliant from start to finish. Don't hesitate to book him for your big day. He made us feel totally at ease throughout the whole process and left us with some beautiful photos. Having a very experienced photographer is very important as they tend to run the day. This makes David the perfect choice as he makes sure that you don't have to think about a thing! Thank you David you did a brilliant job.

    If you're stuck choosing a photographer, don't think twice about David

    Words can't begin to express how amazing David was as our wedding photographer. A chance encounter with David at Hedsor House and we instantly fell in love with his photography and the gorgeous Queensbury albums on display. On top of that, he followed up with several zoom meetings prior to our wedding day, really taking the time to be attentive to every detail and even fit himself around our busy schedules at ungodly hours. My husband and myself aren't the most naturally photogenic yet David was so easily able to manoeuvre our positions and shots, to capture us in the most beautiful way, whilst also taking the most wholesome candid moments with our family and friends. Even with my husband and myself being of African and Asian heritage, David truly respected and appreciated the details of our cultures and captured them beautifully. If you're stuck choosing a photographer, don't think twice about David

    Amazing photos!!

    David is such an amazing photographer, who really took the time to discuss our vision for our wedding and was so supportive throughout the entire planning process. He is so experienced in knowing which shots work best and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful. After our wedding, he was so helpful in putting together a lovely album. We highly recommend him to anyone planning a wedding!!

    David Bostock Photography's reply:

    Thanks so much Sophie & Jonathan for your incredible review. It was such a pleasure to finally get to photograph the wedding after having to move the date several times. The sun shone in Oxford city that day and your choice of Brasenose University College chapel followed by The Bodleian was perfect. Super photography bonus was doing some photos in the old library there…just stunning.
    All the best for the future!
    David

    Our day, Our very mad, fun, special day.

    David made our experience a very smooth ride. We met during an open evening at our chosen wedding venue and he oozed all the right things. Charismatic, experienced, he walked us through the unknown with his easy going manner. That contrasted with is precision bombing on composing the formal photos and his discretion and invisibility when capturing the casual stuff during the diverse events of our unforgettable nuptials. Unforgettable, in part, due to him.
    Thank you, David.
    And how did you get the weather to be so good? We still think it was you behind cloudless skies!! I did not see you in Harry Potter.

    A Magical Wedding in Windsor

    David was our first choice for a photographer. It turned out to be a spectacular choice.

    Our wedding took place in Windsor. We knew that we must find a very professional photographer in order to capture the uniqness and magic of the town and selected venues, as well as capture our special moments. David did all that - and more.

    As we are not from the UK, the process of planning our wedding from afar was challenging, but David helped us make it as easy as possible. We've had a number of video chats and email correspondences about our requests and desires, and David helped us focus and build a great pre-wedding photoshoot schedule. He also pointed us towards various beautiful locations in Windsor to choose from.

    David was always professional, understanding and flexible, and he explained everything in great detail, which was very important for us. At the day of our marriage, he was there with us from 8:30 AM, made us feel comfortable and enjoy every moment of the pre-wedding photoshoot. He also made many great suggestions for photos.

    The photos taken by David were everything we'd hoped for and more. They are simply stunning. David also took care of editing the photos, he guided us through the album-creation process and showed us examples from past weddings. It's unbelievable how high quality and beautiful his albums are, and we can't wait to receive ours!

    For conclusion, we truly recommend hiring David for any event. He knows his field inside-out, his products are beautiful and his service is warm and professional. He managed to capture the magic and atmosphere of Windsor beautifully. Brava, David!

    Perfect moments captured at Kirtlington Park

    It was almost 2 years between us first meeting David, having our pre-shoot and finally getting married. The dreaded Covid led to 3 date changes and rescheduling hell! It was a painful experience but David was so nice and reassuring with every change and whilst many of his clients were going through the same situation, his approach and correspondence was very personal. I mention all of this just to express how nice David is and importantly he makes you feel very comfortable - you need to feel comfortable with your photographer! Hardly naturals in front of the camera we went for David's pre-shoot which absolutely served its purpose - we got to know David much better and felt a lot more at ease for the big day. We love David's style and his accolades speak for themselves and we had complete trust in him. Having received our photos, his skill in capturing those moments that could be gone in a second is unquestionable. David has a great energy and really got the crowd going for the big group shot - such a great photo! In the nicest possible way, David blends in to the background on the day - he is very discreet and unobtrusive whilst managing to capture those perfect shots at every stage of the day. From an organisation, correspondence and responsiveness point of view - all perfect and we had no issues - Thank you David and Helen! Would highly recommend!

    Caswell House Wedding - August

    Wow, wow, wow!

    We cannot express enough how grateful we are that David shot our photos for our wedding. From meeting him at Caswell House open day, we were blown away by his professional manner and talent. After having to postpone a year due to COVID, David accommodated us and made things stress free and we were so glad we could still have him shoot our wedding. On the day, David bought fantastic energy to everyone around him and we had many comments from our guests and family about how brilliant our photographer was. He had fantastic rapport with everybody (including my lively bridesmaids!) and everyone felt at ease in his company - even those we knew hated having their photos taken. David kept the momentum and energy going even during some parts of the day when it was raining (some brides may feel this is their worst nightmare to have rain on the day but he made this fun and helped us see all the positives in this!) Luckily, we had a break in the rain and he captured even more fantastic shots.

    We have been lucky enough to see a sneak peek of our photos and we absolutely love them - from what we have seen they already capture the emotion and laughter from the day and we are so excited to see more!

    Thank you so much David (and to your lovely assistant Helen too!) - we cannot recommend your services enough!

    The Best Photographer

    David captured our wedding last year at Caswell House. After getting in touch with him in a relatively short time before our plan for a smaller COVID wedding we knew he was the photographer we wanted. He was very professional on the day and captured the day so perfectly and sensitively down to every last detail! Going through all of our pictures David has sent us over, we are totally BLOWN AWAY!! We cannot recommend him highly enough and we cannot thank him enough. Thank you David.

    Love Mr & Mrs Orchard x

    David Bostock Photography's reply:

    Dear Hal & Annie,
    You guys really did have the totally perfect wedding day. With just 4 of your closest family at beautiful Caswell House. The winter sun shone, the sky was blue and it was such a pleasure to capture such and intimate and personal day for you.
    Wishing you all the luck in the world for your life together!
    Warmest Regards
    David

    Fantastic and professional

    David became a very good friend throughout our dealings with him. He was kind and thoughtful. He is a brilliant photographer and a good man
    Our album is one of our most treasured memories.

    David Bostock Photography's reply:

    Dear Dianne
    It was a total pleasure to be able to capture your special day for you and as one of the few COVID-19 weddings that were able to happen in 2020 in many ways extra special. I'm so happy that the images were everything you hoped they would be and memories you will be able to look at again and again in your wedding album.
    Warmest Regards
    David

    Must have photographer!

    One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was having David as our photographer. He has produced the most amazing pictures of our day that we can cherish forever. At every part of the process David has been more than helpful offering expert advice and making us feel very comfortable around the camera. His passion for photography is infectious and his attention to detail is second to none. We would highly recommend David Bostock!
