We are beyond grateful to Dan for capturing our wedding day with such elegance and artistic vision. The quality of the photographs is truly exceptional – every image is beautifully sharp, vibrant, and brimming with life. Dan has an incredible eye for detail, capturing moments both big and small with a refined touch that perfectly tells the story of our day. The elegance and artistic composition of each photo left us in awe; from candid emotions to intimate portraits, every picture radiates beauty and sophistication. These are memories we’ll cherish forever, and we couldn’t have asked for a more talented photographer to bring them to life. -

The absolute best!
There aren't really words to cover how amazing our wedding pictures turned out, they are so amazing that over a year after the day I can't stop looking at them. Almost can't believe it's my husband and I on the photos because we look like we've done 100 photoshoots before, although we are both completely stripped of the photogenic-gene and felt incredibly awkward at first. Slowly but surely Dan chipped away at this awkwardness and before we knew it we were doing poses, some on purpose and some we were skillfully tricked in to.
Booking was a breeze and it was clear that my expectations would be met just from looking at his previous work. Dan and his co-photographer arrived on time on the day to the different locations and got straight to work. And even though Dan followed us around closely all day like a black fly, we didn't even notice he was there most of the time. I think that might be a skill you can't teach, a testament to how incredibly skilled Dan is.
It was SO worth every single penny and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to be in utter awe for years to come. -

Great photographer
Can’t thank Dan enough for everything he did on my wedding day. Nothing was too big or too small of a favour, I didn’t have many ideas for photos myself and didn’t know what to expect from a photographer but he took control and made sure I got all the photos needed. He would do anything to get the perfect picture, even ruin his suit lying on the ground to get the perfect angles! Would highly recommend, so happy with my sneak peak photos can not wait to see the rest. -

Wow, just WOW! Daniel was our photographer for our London church wedding in February 2023. My husband and I had another ceremony in California earlier in 2022, so for this smaller ceremony, the only thing we wanted to get right on the day were the photos, and Daniel DELIVERED!
When we were searching for photographers, we were upfront about our borderline insane timeline (3 locations bouncing around London for 4 hours) and very specific shot list (which he adhered to unwaveringly–he even saved us from missing one of the most crucial shots of all!). Not only was Daniel up for the challenge, but ecstatic about it!
In the run up to the big day, Daniel set up a call to review our final timelines and shot list. He asked thoughtful qualifying questions throughout, leaving us with zero doubt that Daniel understood what we wanted and was the right guy for the job.
On the day, Daniel arrived early to the location to set up shots and stakeout locations. He was like a photography inspector gadget… he kept pulling out (big!) equipment from tool belts and a small backpack, we’ll never know how he managed it.
In posing us, Daniel was prescriptive without being intrusive, and efficient without feeling rushed. His creativity is amazing and his energy is infectious. You can tell he’s a perfectionist who loves what he does–he was constantly pushing for “just one more” or ushering us to another spot because “just quickly, this would look so great.” He had no issue literally stopping traffic (human or vehicular) to get the shot. My husband and I must’ve whispered “Daniel is great” to each other 100 times.
And the photos. Omg, JUST LOOK AT THESE PHOTOS. If pictures are normally worth 1,000 words, these are worth a million. Everyone we show these photos to, their jaws are on the floor. Daniel also included some fun behind-the-scenes shots that made us laugh and relive the chaos of the day.
Daniel was an integral part of the success of our London wedding, and hiring Daniel was the best decision we made, hands-down. We can’t wait to cover every inch of our house in these incredible photographs, thank you so much Daniel for capturing our day to perfection!! -

Overjoyed with our wedding photos
We can’t begin to say how much we, our family, and our friends love the photos of our wedding. We had high hopes and expectations for our photos, and the collection we received surpasses them. The treasure trove of photos from Dan will help keep the memory of our wedding - the most perfect of days - alive for the rest of our lives. We are so grateful to Dan and his assistant photographer, Sarah, for the love, care, and immense talent they poured into them. Countless captures look more like fine art paintings than photographs. They're something you'd expect to see in the Musee D'Orsay, not your own wedding album. It means so much to us that not only did Dan capture so many cherished moments, but that he also managed to snap beautiful photos of every single guest. Each of the hundreds and hundreds of photos is stunning, including the portraits, candids, action shots, personal effects, venue, etc. He captured the full range of emotions on the day. Some are calm, some are intimate, solemn, full of love, joyful, romantic, triumphant, hilarious, or poignant. All of them are beautiful. There isn’t a single photo we don’t love.
Dan is the ultimate professional. We loved working with him. From our first email exchange, through the entirety of our wedding, to the day we received our photos, he has been positive, energized, and committed at every moment. Months later, our guests still talk about how fun-loving and dedicated he was. He was both a bright and integral part of our day. Entrusting Dan to be our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions my husband and I made.

After working in the wedding industry ourselves for 10 years we knew exactly what we wanted from our wedding photographer. We had always loved his work and knew that when we got married, it was Dan that we wanted. We were not disappointed! He was fantastic on the day, calm and funny, our guests loved him and the photos are beautiful. We would definitely recommend him to any couple looking for the very best in wedding photography! -

Can’t recommend Dan enough!x
We honestly can recommend Dan as our wedding photographer enough. An absolute lovely and genuine guy who made us feel at complete ease. He listened to everything we wanted and captured exactly what we wanted on our day...even when we weren’t looking. We’ve had so many comments on our photos and it’s all thanks to Dan. You will not be disappointed. -

Look to further... this photographer will not let you down!
My now husband and I spent many,many hours searching for the perfect photographer to capture the special moments of our day. With a specific upcoming fine art style combined with a realistic look proved very hard to find!
Dan was absolubtley amazing from the second we met him,we felt instantly relaxed and all of our guests felt welcomed and praised his professional work and down to earth, fun personality he has. Very organised throughout the day and captured the most amazing moments we will never forget.
The most important part, the photos themselves. Brilliantly detailed, Dan captured every moment we wanted and more. The best ones being the natural that we never even realised was happening.
We have hundreds of photos, and it was so hard to choose the ones to frame because each and every one of them was just magical.
Nearly a year on and I look through the photos on a daily basis, they are just amazing.
I cannot reccomend Dan enough!!!!!
