Wow.... I don't know where to begin.
We received our parcel yesterday, which may I say, was a lovely touch both the wooden engraved box and the USB itself.
Something we didn't expect and will forever stay with us alongside all our other wedding souvenirs ❤️💙 so thank you for your attention to detail and gestures such as these.
We spent around an hour and a half last night, all together looking at the pictures, we popped it on the PC so we could see them on the better screen.
We are blown away. Honestly, words cannot even come close to how happy we are with the results. It bought back all the emotions from the day and just as we had discussed prior to the wedding, it told a story from the beginning of the day right through to the end!
You captured everything we had requested and then some.
The style or the pictures are stunning. Each and everyone of them.
We adore many of the pictures of Fiona and the girls getting ready. Some fantastic natural shots. As well as myself getting ready with the boys.
We would be hard pushed to even select a handful of favourites, as there are so many amazing pictures.
I have used the one of us in the arch with the fountain in the forefront as my wallpaper on the computer. It is a spectacular photo 😍
I hope you realise just how much it means to us to have chosen you guys to photograph our big day. Not only did we get to have you, but Catarina also. Who has captured some fantastic moments! (We are aware which photos were taken by Catarina due to the positioning and the timings where you were with myself)
You have both worked flawlessly throughout.
We will spend many hours going back through and admiring your work, before deciding on which ones to choose to display in our wedding photo album.
Your professionalism, dedication, planning and communication was second to none from the offset and throughout. We felt 100% comfortable with you both and feel that is also shown throughout the pictures.
I could genuinely go on and on with praise for you both.
Truly, from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you so much. We will forever talk of you both and remember you as a key part in our day.
We feel so lucky to have had you both as our photographers. Both on a professional level and a personal level, you were both fantastic and we felt 100% comfortable and at ease with you.
Anybody looking for a photographer, don't give it a second thought.
You will receive the same treatment we got, which from the first response will already have you at ease. Wonderful people who will go above and beyond to give you the best possible result.
Thank you both, for everything ❤️💙

I originally booked David in 2022 for our wedding on April 2024 and even though it was well in advanced! The communication was brilliant all the way through, he would stay in touch and nothing was ever too much bother!
He was incredible on the day! He fit in like the rest of the family and he worked so so hard always making sure we were getting lots of different photo opportunities! After our wedding we had the first 3 the day after and they were beautiful and within 5 weeks we have our personalised USB stick back with all our photos on, the pictures are beautiful and there isn’t one we don’t love, he has captured exactly what we wanted very natural and in the
Moment pictures after showing friends and family the photos they are also over whelmed and thought they were beautiful! I 100% will recommend David to future couples! He really did capture perfectly the best day of our lives!

We had Dave and Catarina photograph our wedding last month, and i am so glad i chose these guys to be part of our journey!
The communication was absolutely amazing, not only does this include before the wedding, but also afterwards to keep me updated on how our photos were coming along and to also have a catch up!
I have never been one for photos, and im the most awkward person to stand infront of a camera, but these guys made me feel so much at ease and we enjoyed every second of our time infront of the camera.
The photos came back so quickly, and we absolutely adore them, im sure im going to be looking at them for years to come.
Our overall experience was absolutely amazing, and would definitely have these guys a million times over!
Thankyou so much Dave and Catarina

Dave was our photographer for our wedding last month and we couldn’t be more pleased with the photos. Communication in the run up to the day was great - we chatted through the photos that were most important to us so he could make sure these were captured on the day, as well as the style of photos we were looking for.
Neither of us are naturals in front of camera but we felt completely relaxed around Dave - he knew we wanted mostly natural photos and that’s exactly what he delivered. When we were looking through the photos there were loads I didn’t even know had been taken which was lovely, capturing the genuine happiness and memories of the day. Equally any posed photos were gorgeous too - I believe it was Daves first visit to the venue but he quickly scoped out all the best places for photos.
Delivery was quick - we received a couple of photos the day after the wedding, then the rest were on our doorstep a couple of weeks later when we returned from honeymoon.
Dave was a pleasure to have around on the day, not just a great photographer but a calming influence on a busy wedding morning and a genuinely nice guy. Highly recommend!

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The relationship between the photographer and the person/people being photographed is key to taking a great photograph. I pride myself on making you feel as relaxed and natural as possible — in fact, as if I wasn’t there — and that’s when the magic happens.
What do you love most about your job?
Starting my career in journalism and since moving into public relations/communications, I’m a storyteller through and through. Telling people’s stories is what gets me out of bed in the morning.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and my passion has now shifted to telling stories through natural, relaxed photography — especially capturing a couple’s once in a lifetime special wedding day.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started off roaming the streets of my home city, Birmingham, with my mate and a basic DSLR camera. Street photography was a way of exercising, blowing the cobwebs away, and just experimenting with my camera.
Then, two years before Covid, I started shadowing a wedding photographer of 10 years at multiple weddings across the region as a second-shooter. I loved the storytelling, the responsibility, the fact every wedding is so different, the creativity that comes with shooting such an important day in people’s lives.
So, I decided to go it alone — which I now do on top of my day-to-day job.
It’s perfect because I can choose the weddings I do, and really give each one the care and attention they deserve.
Why should our clients choose you?
Instead of me giving you the big sales pitch, I always find having an initial conversation works best. Then you can decide if I’m right for you, and vice versa.
