WOW! Just simply wow.... there are not enough words really to say how amazing and how truely thankful we are that we picked Dave to be our wedding photographer ❤ Dave made everything so so easy, in a time where things have been beyond complicated. From our first meet and greet, with a great slideshow breaking down all the information we needed to know and allowing us to freely ask questions to map out our day. To the wonderful couples shoot, where he made us laugh and captured some stunning images we will treasure. When our wedding got cancelled twice through lockdown, Dave checked in and was so helpful moving dates and offering advice and support. Dave quickly became the easiest wedding vendor we dealt with overall. Dave was fabulous on our wedding day, and caught stunning images he captured the day exactly how it was, in uninvasive/ personal manner. Everyone thought Dave was wonderful and professional throughout, and made everyone feel at ease. Dave lead the formal shots with confidence and really listened to what we wanted. The couples shoot again was lovely and relaxed. I can not recommend Dave enough, he has been nothing short of phenomenal throughout our entire wedding adventure ❤ Thanks Dave for being such a wonderful part of our day and capturing all those amazing images. Love Mr and Mrs Jones xx

Dave what can we say?!! From the bottom of our heart thank you for capturing the most beautiful moments from our wedding day. With all the uncertainty with covid we still decided to go ahead as it was more about getting married to us and just had a very intimate ceremony with 9 guests. Dave captured the most stunning pictures for us. Capturing every single precious moment that what will always be able to look back on. Dave was nothing but professional and in our eyes (and all of our guests) the best in what he does! There are not enough words to say how greatful we are. Thank you!! Here are just two of our favourite but it is impossible to choose as they are all amazing! Lots of love from Mr and Mrs Pearson

Dave was our photographer for our wedding at Hazel Gap Barn on 17th February 2020. Right from the initial phone call to enquire about the packages he offers Dave couldn’t do enough to help. On the day he was friendly but professional and knew exactly where to get the best photos to keep couple shots time to a minimum. With our wedding being on a weekday in February we received our photos with a week and a half and they are simple gorgeous. I would highly recommend booking Dave for a wedding or any other event as he was just amazing!

We had the pleasure of spending 2 shoots with Dave, we had a couple's engagement shoot and also our wedding day. The images we received are of a high quality and can not recommended him enough. On the wedding Dave kept very low profile and got a lot of natural images which is exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much again, and we hope to work with you again in the future 😁 I have attached one of my favourite photos! Marishah & Paul

We had our pre wedding shoot last weekend and Dave was extremely quick to get the photos back to us. They all look beautiful and Dave provided with us a large number of the ones he had taken. He made the whole process enjoyable and put us at ease. He didn’t do things we weren’t happy with as well as allowing us to add any shots we wanted too. He made the whole process easier and we can’t wait to see our wedding photos in May :)!

Dave was our wedding photographer on the 5th of October - he also did our couple photoshoot before the day as well. We have had so much praise from all over the world for all our wedding photos - he really managed to capture the true emotion on the day. The photos are so us and incredibly natural. He managed to get my husband, James in some amazing shots and James hates getting his picture taken but Dave was so friendly and funny that he could relax and enjoy the day without feeling conscious! Dave did a phenomenal job and we definitely would recommend him to anyone getting married if we haven't already!

Dave was the photographer at our recent wedding on 19/10/19. I will be recommending Dave to everyone I know l, barely know or don’t even know. The quality of his photography is amazing, with some really creative shots and he captured every key moment of our special day. I and my wife are both a little hesitant about having our photos taken however Dave made us feel so at ease. There was no forced photos taken, everything was really natural just as we wanted it and quite often we forgot he was even there. Most of all, we came to realise the importance of having a photographer who you can get along with, who you feel comfortable around and who you can have a nice chat and a joke with. Dave is the most lovely person and we genuinely felt as though we had another friend there on the day. We can not thank him enough or speak of him anymore highly! 🙂

Dave was the photographer at our wedding last weekend (19/10/19). He arrived on time (looking very smart) and was very discrete whilst the bridal party was getting ready. You wouldn’t of even known he was there! Throughout the day Dave took lots of amazing natural photographs but also was confident with larger groups for the group shots. He captured the key moments of the day perfectly. Dave even stayed until later on to get pictures with sparkles which was so much fun. Lots of our guests have since commented that Dave was very friendly and his photography skills are excellent. He was like one of the guests! I would highly, highly recommend him to any one that is looking for a natural photographer. He really is amazing!

Leanne LitvinovBride

We booked Dave through a Facebook ad we saw about a year before our wedding and my goodness are we glad we did... We told Dave that we wanted largely documentary type photos of moments being captured throughout the day plus a few intimate pictures of myself and Nick scattered with a few family shots and boy did he deliver.. I am in love with the style of our wedding photos, my husband is not a fan of photos but even he felt at ease and relaxed with Dave’s style! The ABC game was a fantastic touch and looking back at the photos we hadn’t even noticed Dave was there for some of them which is just what we wanted!! Anyone thinking of booking Dave for their wedding.. Go For It!! I promise you won’t regret it.. Thank You Dave for such a wonderful job.. I can’t stop looking at our photos and smiling !! Love from The Johnsons

I couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos. Dave captured the pure joy of the day and some really beautiful intimate moments. He was so professional and had some wonderfully creative ideas which have left us with some fun, original photos to treasure forever. Dave is truly dedicated; he arrived at the crack of dawn for our wedding and didn’t leave until it had become dark enough to take a sparkler photo. I would recommend him to everyone for any occasion. 😊

Laura StaffBride

5*! Dave photographed our wedding this summer. He was absolutely incredible and made everyone feel at ease and comfortable. We had a quite unusual wedding and we felt he captured it perfectly. Many guests commented on how lovely he was and how he was almost invisible throughout the day. We are over the moon with our wedding photos and would 100% recommend Dave. Thank you! X

Rachel Dawson Bride

Dave did our wedding photography at the National Railway Museum in York. It was a first for him in such a quirky venue and he embraced it with a passion! He engaged our guests and organised them so well for group photos. The photos Dave took included natural unposed shots as well as the traditional type. We were most pleased with the outcome. I thoroughly recommend Dave to capture your special events.

Sue RidgwayBride

Dave was our photographer in June this year. Would highly recommend him. He has produced some stunning shots and most importantly listened to us and what we wanted to capture our special day. We hardly knew he was there yet hundreds of beautiful, funny, and perfectly times shots show that he was there just at the right time, each time. Thanks so much. Kerry and Gemma

Amy Bride

Massive thank you Dave for being an amazing photograher on our wedding day! You really made us both feel at ease and we both love the photographs that you took. Thank you again for everything and i'd highly recommend you!

Laura Webster Bride

We simply cannot recommend Dave enough! We have just received our wedding photographs and we are so so happy with them! They are exactly what we had hoped they’d be. Through out the day Dave made us feel at ease and so relaxed. Not intrusive in any way and has captured the real off guard moments. Looking through our photos I feel he’s captured the absolute whole of the day from morning to night, and he’s tuned in to the fine detail. I feel our photographs tell a real story. Not only is Dave an amazing talented photographer he is a genuinely nice guy. I’ve been to some weddings where the photographer is almost stroppy because of timings etc but Dave very much went with the flow but still captured everything! Highly recommend!!!!

Erika Pickard Bride

We used Dave for our wedding on New Years Eve, he was very patient and accommodating! Nothing was too much or too little for him, just goes with the flow which made us feel very relaxed and not under pressure to have pictures taken at specific times. Dave was very friendly and approachable, when guests asked him to take particular pictures he was always willing to do so. The pricing was very reasonable, given the date we had our wedding on. Would highly recommend Dave to anyone out there looking for a photographer! Thanks Dave, Rachel & Joel

Joel FarrarGroom

I would certainly reccomend Dave to anyone, hes very professional, kind and overall a lovely character. Hes brilliant at organising for group photos but is also very inconspicuous at times and I totally forgot he was there, which resulted in some very natural genuine photos. During our couple shoot all we did was laugh, I felt very relaxed even though I am not a fan of having my photo taken. I looked to dave a lot on my wedding day for guidance, as to what to do and where to be and he was always more than happy to be of any help at all. He really captured some wonderful moments, all the photos are amazing and I am so pleased.
