Dave was recommended to us by Kiera at Applewood Hall, as she felt that he would fit our style of wedding (a laid-back micro-wedding). From the very first moment we spoke to Dave, we thought he was an excellent fit. He talked us through the process and we ended up arranging a pre-shoot in the weekend leading up to the wedding (as it was quite short-notice and we didn't live locally). The pre-shoot photos really highlighted Dave's ability to capture people in a beautiful nature setting really well. Then for the wedding day itself, we asked Dave to take photos through the ceremony and wedding breakfast, followed by our unusual reception" at Banham Zoo. Dave not only knew the area well enough to recommend the perfect pre-shoot location

Dave photographed our wedding in Norfolk last weekend and we had a pre-wedding shoot last year. Not only do Dave's photos perfectly capture those candid moments you often miss (and his photos are just amazing), he was so calm and organised on the wedding day. As someone who doesn't particularly like having my photo taken, Dave really put me at ease in the pre-wedding shoot and on the big day. He was on top of the timings without rushing anyone and kept a close eye on the weather, suggesting that we take photos earlier on in the day to miss the impending shower. There was a short window in the evening when the sun came out and Dave was there ready to take 'golden hour' photos. My wife mentioned that Dave was a really helpful and calming person to have around just before the ceremony and really put her at ease at a very nerve-racking time. We would highly recommend Dave!

Dave photographed our wedding in August and did an absolutely outstanding job. At the pre-wedding photo shoot Dave made us feel at ease with the process and gave us some beautiful photos both then and at our wedding. He captured our wedding perfectly and we couldn't have asked for more. At the wedding Dave was discrete and showed great patience whilst we wrangled guests for the group photos. We would absolutely recommend Dave.

We couldn't be more thankful to Dave for capturing our wedding party in the best way. We are definitely not camera naturals, but Dave's style is relaxed and unforced, the result being truly candid, happy photos. For sure, we love the romantic shots, but our favourites are the snaps of us being our goofy selves when we didn't even realise he was there taking the photos.For reasons, it was so important to us to have a couple of photos of the day early, and Dave was more than happy to oblige.From initial contact, the calls before and on the day, Dave was relaxed, quick to respond, professional, and just a really pleasant, easy-going guy.Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Dave was the photographer at our wedding back in June and did an absolutely fantastic job. He didn't have much to work with, but me and my partner couldn't be happier with our photos. He has documentary style of photographing your day, and captures everyone having fun, so you can remember the day perfectly. To top it off he is a genuinely nice chap, would highly recommend!!!

Dave was our photographer for our Norfolk wedding a few weeks ago. Wow - we are blown away by his work. He goes above and beyond to get such memorable and timeless shots. He is so professional, and really took the time to get to know me and my husband in advance of the big day. We could not recommend him highly enough, and are so grateful for the role he played in our wedding.

Dave was our photographer for our wedding in April this year. We couldn't be happier with both our initial photo shoot and our wedding snaps! Dave captured so many wonderful moments and smiles. He was so calm and kind, making us feel relaxed in front of the camera (neither of us like having our pictures taken). We wanted natural wedding photos that reflected how we felt on the day, and Dave delivered just that.

We booked David as our photographer for our wedding and have been so happy with our experience! David was a calming presence and captured beautiful moments throughout our special day including photos that I requested before. We loved the couple of photos we received immediately after the wedding and can’t wait to see the rest of them when they are ready. I would highly recommend David for any weddings or other special moments you may want to capture!

It was an absolute pleasure to have Dave as our wedding photographer. We included a pre-wedding shoot, which was a great opportunity to meet Dave and get used to posing in front of the camera - definitely recommend this as wedding photo practice and a chance to meet Dave. On the day, Dave was a calm and reassuring presence at our wedding, and helped everything to run smoothly. We are absolutely delighted with the photos that Dave took during the day, and will treasure them throughout our marriage. The presentation box and process for getting our photos was also very smooth, and all as we expected. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. 10/10 recommend Dave! Thank you again Dave.

Brilliant photographer, really lovely man. My husband and I had our wedding in Norfolk in late August. We have no particular ties to Norfolk or to David, but we noticed on Google that he was based near our venue and loved the style of the work on his website, so we asked him to come and photograph for us. We paid him less for ten hours of his time than many photographers ask for five, and so he was there for the whole day from start to finish. He is just a lovely, kind man and a super photographer, really fantastic at capturing photos that have life and vitality in them. He took our brief and ran with it, and the results are exactly what we wanted. We are so grateful. Thank you David!
