Dan just shot our wedding two weeks ago and we were beyond happy we went with him for our photography. We were very nervous about the pictures, but he really put us and our guests at ease, and having our photos done ended up being a real highlight of the day. He sent us a mini edit (still with 76 photos!) just two days after the wedding and we love all of the pictures; especially the candid ones, which there are loads of! Thank you for everything, Dan :)

Danny photographed our wedding day in October 2021. He was unbelievable on the day, putting us and our guests at ease. How great to also have a photographer you can have a laugh with! Our mini gallery has already blown us away. Thank you Danny, well be forever grateful.

Danny was absolutely amazing, we had poor weather but he still worked his magic. We're so impressed with the preview album and can't wait to see the full album. Danny is super funny and made us feel at ease the entire day. We can't recommend him enough and we were so happy he was able to shoot our big day.

We employed Danny to capture our day around 2 years before we were able to tie the knot due to Covid restrictions. During the two year build up, he was nothing but accommodating to the changes surrounding our day that were out of our control. When our day finally rolled around, he was in the foreground when he needed to be and blending into the surroundings when he didnt. Weve had our first snapshots come through now and the photos weve seen have completely blown any expectations that we might have had. If you are reading this and want some advice or reassurance then book Danny for your

Danny is amazing and a true genius at what he does. We are absolutely speechless and amazed at our preview pictures and cant wait to see the rest! Danny was professional yet super friendly throughout the day to the point our son wanted Danny to join the wedding party and stay the night! Me and Dale are not pose people and found the thought of it cringy and embarrassing but Danny made it feel so natural and at ease. Hes captured everyone important to us in natural in the moment shots. We will have a beautiful Album to treasure forever and remind us of our day. I would recommend this guy to

Wow! Where do i even begin with this review, I knew before we even started to plan our big day that i wanted Daniel to take our photos, With such a laid back yet beautiful style in photos, i knew he would capture our day and personalities perfectly. On the day himself and the second photographer Peter absolutely SMASHED IT! They made the entire day feel so relaxed and fun all while capturing the absolute party of the entire day! I wish we could rewind and do it all over again and we are so in love with the photos we have seen so far! Cannot recommend Daniel enough for the quality of work and style
