When planning our wedding, my husband and I were the most concerned about booking a fabulous photographer as, after it's all over, these were going to be the lasting remnants of the day. We were therefore anxiously awaiting the photos from David through. When they arrived, we were absolutely blown-away... the photos were stunning, expertly taken with every single one capturing a moment we will now never forget.
The whole day has been captured, both the big moments and the small details, and it was every bit as beautiful as we remember.
David took the time before the big day to tour the venue with us which settled our nerves that we wouldn't have many places to shoot if the weather was poor. He picked out some great spots that we then got to use on the day.
David was a calming presence and worked well in the background with our videographer - in fact some of the photos were taken at time we didn't even realise David was present for!
He was somehow there to capture anything important, and yet never in the way. He also managed to organise many group shots, including one with a rowdy crowd of 25! Thank you David, you have made our wedding picture dreams come true and we can't recommend you enough.

I loved David's style of photography from the offset. He somehow manages to tell a story with pictures. There were very few "posed" shots which is what I wanted and we agreed from the first conversation. . Some of the expressions that he caught are just amazing. We dd a pre-shoot (which I'd strongly recommend if you're a bit camera shy) and during that we really felt at ease.
David listened to what we wanted and delivered exactly that - we couldn't be happier with our beautiful wedding photos. Thanks again David.

David has a real gift for capturing true emotions and special moments in his photos. We were so pleased with our decision to use him for our wedding, and really delighted with the result: beautiful photos that transport us back to that amazing day whenever we look at them! We would recommend him to everyone!

David is a brilliant photographer, that is clear from one look at his website, but what his website doesn't tell you is what a personal,unique experience he will offer you as your wedding photographer. I chose David because friends had used him and their photos were wonderful, journalistic and full of life, such a welcome antidote to the stuffy, formal photographs of wedding's gone by! David doesn't shepherd, shout or cajole, but he calmly rounds up friends and family for any group photos that you have specified beforehand.
I chose not to have many group photos as I wanted David to capture the mood of the day and oh my did he do that! My wedding photographs are photos I will treasure for the rest of my life. They capture moments that I will cherish, the pictures of my friends and family smiling, laughing and having fun, my parents holding hands, every detail of the wedding caught by David's natural eye. So many guests commented on how hard David and his support photographer worked without ever being imposing or getting in the way.
They captured everything I could have hoped for! Not many photographers will spend time getting to know you like David does, nor will they put time aside to visit the venue with you or talk about exactly how you want your photos to look. Jack and I are thrilled with our photographs, David is utterly wonderful and so very good at what he does. I cannot recommend him more highly, he captures the magic of the day and with one look at his photos, you are back there, having the best day of your life all over again.

To say we are absolutely delighted with our wedding album is an understatement. David's photography captured the energy of our day as we remembered it. Visit his blog, the photos there are the quality you will receive for your own wedding. We simply cannot recommend David enough.

David was our first and only choice as our wedding photographer. We found him online, liked what we saw and arranged to meet up. He was very personable, open to our ideas, and clearly very experienced. He was always in regular contact in the run up to our wedding and we felt we were in safe hands. We received our photos two weeks after our wedding and we can't overstate how happy we are with them, they look brilliant! David captured so many happy people enjoying themselves on our wedding day, everything looks so natural and that reminds us what an amazing day both we and our guests had.
In other words, it's a compliment to David to say how it's almost as if nobody noticed him as he went about his work. He even drew praise from our other suppliers who commented how he always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. As for the photos, we can't fault their quality. Every time I look over them I notice something new that makes me smile. We hired David for 9 hours' work and he made a point of waiting around after his "shift" was finished to thank us for having him and to say goodbye - he even continued photographing until the moment presented itself to do that. We have only good things to say about him and would recommend him to anyone.

David did a fantastic job for us during our wedding day. The images he has captured are stunning and are now a permanent reminder of a fantastic day. David's style of photography is to capture moments as they happen, and not to stage the moments. This he has managed to do perfectly. David was unobtrusive on the day and friends and family have commented that they hardly noticed him on the day, but yet he managed to get pictures of everyone.
We couldn't be happier with our stunning pictures. David has provided us with images that evoke wonderful memories, not just photographs. We would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much David.

Cannot recommend David enough. His photos of our wedding were fantastic and just what we wanted. He captured the magic of the day perfectly. The standout pictures are of all the guests reactions throughout the day. He took so many wonderful shots with a great sense of humour. Is great to be able to look back on them and see all the bits we didnt get to see on the day. All the guests said how nice he was and how hard he worked to get the best shots. Just brilliant!

David is a brilliant photographer and we were so pleased with the photos he took of our wedding. We loved his natural, documentary style of photography, and he has given us a set of photos which really showcase the joy and happiness of our day. We only had a short amount of time to plan our wedding, but David was really flexible - meeting us both for an introductory chat and also a visit to our venue in advance. We can't recommend him enough.

Absolutely nothing but praise for David. A real 5 star service. We were recommended to use Davids services for his unique documentary style and instantly decided we wanted him to snap our wedding.
David was easy to talk to and very professional and helpful in the early stages of planning. When our wedding was unfortunately postponed at the start of lockdown, David stayed in touch with us and offered us lots of support.
We were lucky enough to get a new date for our wedding at short notice and David very admirably cleared his schedule to ensure he was there to photograph our wedding. The pictures are absolutely amazing and really captured the uniqueness of the day. We will be using David again to capture the photographs for our wedding party once Covid is over. We can not recommend David enough!

Having "shopped" around for wedding photographers, I kept coming back to David's style - and the fact that he has so many 5 star Google reviews certainly gave some assurance as well! We weren't disappointed - David was really accommodating with us - our initial wedding date was affected by the pandemic so everything was uncertain for quite a while, but David was willing to be flexible and was optimistic for us being able to get married soon!
With not much notice, David worked around us, was diligent in ensuring we all knew what was happening on the day and ultimately put our needs above his. On the day he was great, he genuinely became a part of the day and the photos that we got in the end are ones we'll cherish. Thanks David!

I cant recommend David enough - we had booked him for what was meant to be our ceremony in June - which was obviously a casualty to the COVID19 lockdown (!) - and so instead we decided to go ahead with a small registry office wedding with just our two sets of parents.
Davids style was exactly what we wanted, and the pictures were simply amazing - even though we had only 4 guests, the photos really captured the magic of the day - from small details like my bouquet and now-husbands bow tie, to fantastic pictures within the grounds of the registry office with our family, and some very point-in-time memories of guests with face masks, and taking our vows with the perspex screen between us and the registrar! The pictures were beautiful, and we cant wait for David to snap our big day in March 2021!
