E1W, London
I grew up in east London and live next to Victoria Park. I was a musician in my youth, then through discovering film making found myself as a video editor on BBC news. This is how I discovered my eye for a good picture.
I like to capture the spontaneous moments.

Dan was a great photographer to work with. He was familiar with our venue in East London and was able to guide us through the flow of things. His warm character helped us warm up to the camera and just have fun. As a result, his work captured some beautiful candid (and sometimes funny!) moments throughout the day. As we lived in a few different countries before, our guests came from all over the world; it was especially important to them that they had photos with us. Dan was aware of this and was helpful in making sure that we were able to capture our moments together. We now have a beautiful album to relive our wonderful day. More...

James and Charity Young
Working with Dan was easy, fun, and relaxing. He had plenty of good ideas to make the photographs unique to us -- and not just staged as you would see in many wedding albums.
He was always quick to respond and is very professional. We received our photographs within days of the Wedding and are extremely happy with them.
Captured our special day perfectly!
Highly recommended!

Dan is very professional and organised. He was great with the communication before my wedding day and on my wedding day. He fitted in with the guests and was friendly. His photos are great, a mixture of some formal photos with lots of photos that captured the experience of the whole day. Looking back on them I feel like I’m reliving my wedding day. Thanks Dan - highly recommended. More...

We had a fantastic experience with Dan on our wedding day. The photos of the day are superb and just what we were after.
He was really helpful in suggesting shots, capturing the day perfectly but never intrusive to the ceremony or celebrations.
Great communication all along with Dan, we can't recommend enough.

Herve & Cristina
We hired Dan a few days before our wedding and it has been an easy and reliable service from him. He was discrete as expected during the ceremony and took magnificent pictures. He was also advising us for additional pictures outside the church, as well as flexible to take into account our ideas and wishes. Many thanks again Dan. More...

So lucky that we found Dan (rather, that Dan found us) - as we decided to hire a photographer only two weeks before our micro-wedding. The photos perfectly capture our special moments - they are simply lovely and correspond exactly to what we were hoping for (ceremony photos, shots with our witnesses and even online guests!, and couple's shot in our favorite places nearby) I would also add that Dan helped us run a really smooth ceremony: it was our first wedding as bride & groom, but of course not Dan's first wedding as a photographer and he definitely helped us feel more relaxed throughout. Thanks again! More...

Dan did a great job taking photos across two events over two days including dealing with a lot of very merry people. The photos were brilliant and transferred online the same day/following day.

Thank You for the outstanding service provided.
It really helped in making the day perfect and to run smoothly.
Dan maintained excellent communication skills and understood what kind of photos we were looking for.
We found him really easy to work with as he applied his expertise to our ideas and made them come to life.
We can’t express how happy we are with the photo’s.
Our most important objective was to capture the priceless moments of the day and Dan done a fine job of that.
Photo turnaround was really quick (2-3days) and they were made easily accessible via an online downloadable gallery.

Tanya Everett
Wedding Photography
Dan was very great in asking the right questions before the big day and asked for examples of what we as a couple would like and what was important for us. He took great care in delivering all the things we asked for and as a result I feel we have some great memories captured in pictures. The photos caught all the emotions of the day I especially love the picture of my father crying with joy. We are so glad we trusted Dan with one of our most special days in our life. When I received the digital proofs all of the days feelings came flooding back. I can not wait to see them in an album. Thank you Dan for capturing our special day with such Sensitivity. More...

Dan was superb. Very few photographers will go the extra mile like he did and so effortlessly and calm. He came before agreed time and made sure to take as many retakes as I wanted and also made sure we got the best shots and background even when our original spot was unavailable. Will definelty use him again

Dan was kind, courteous and professional. Dan did an excellent job on my wedding day. He was punctual on the day, focus mostly on the bride and groom and looks for decent place to take good pictures. And I like the method he used to share the pictures. More...
Ryan Stevenson
Wedding Photography
We hired Dan for our Wedding day, and I can highly recommend him.
Dan made us feel comfortable during the preparation, with a meeting to discuss our plans and get to know each other.
From that moment onwards he was also very responsive whenever we needed to get in touch with him.
On the wedding day itself, Dan was excellent - he was there early to scout out the location, and once ceremony had finished, he made great suggestions for photos, and gave a couple who don't really enjoy getting their photos taken some great direction on how to get some great pictures.
At the reception Dan was able to blend into the background, and capture pictures of all the guests while everyone was at ease.
Finally, the most important part - The photographs! The photographs were excellent, and we were able to view them within a couple of days of the ceremony.

We hired Dan for our wedding photography (Sept 20) and are really glad that we did. Dan captured amazing and colourful shots which are perfect for quality prints and I would strongly recommend a professional photographer if you are unsure, as he really knows what he is doing.
What I most liked about our photos is his ability to be creative as some of our best photos were because of his direction, but also he was able to get a lot of really good shots of people in the moment which helped to capture the essence of the day and people's personalities.
I would highly recommend Dan to anyone who is looking at photographers as it makes any occasion so much more special

Amazing work, with professional equipment, he got on time and he sent me the pictures straight away. Thank you Dan. I'm looking forward to working with you again!
What do you love most about your job?
I find the creative process of photography to be relaxing. This is important when the subject is not a professional model because there's a better photo to be had when they are enjoying the experience. It's collaborative. Their happiness shines through in the images I take.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Photography is my hobby and passion. I decided to suffer the hardships of starting a new business knowing that I'd eventually be doing what I want to do. Life is too short not to follow your passion.
Why should our clients choose you?
I can deliver beautiful pictures. I'm keen. I'm on the ball. I listen to what the client wants. I'm as good as they get when it comes to creating beautiful images.
Proposals
For your secret proposal, I promise to capture every money including her beautiful reaction to your offering the ring.
