My approach to capturing the Best Day of Your Life!

I won’t drag you away from your guests for hours on end! My documentary approach is about the energy and interactions between the two of you and your guests, and your choices about your day. I believe that every couple, and therefore every wedding is unique. Of course tradition is a part of most weddings, but the cookie cutter approach to wedding photography isn’t for me! I get such a great feeling knowing that I’m creating some of the most treasured pictures a couple will ever own. Pictures that can’t be staged or recreated but which capture the essence of your relationship and natural beauty. I love the honesty and subtlety of using natural light, and the impact of direct flash. My photography is all about capturing the real moments and emotions of your day, be it the nervous anticipation before the ceremony, the subtle little glances to one another as you read your vows, or the release of emotion on the dance floor when you realise what an amazing day you’ve just had!

My Photographic Journey

I first picked up a camera, in an artistic sense, aged sixteen, when I found my grandfather’s old camera lying in a desk drawer (that’s him and the camera above). I’d always been creative, and was captivated by the camera immediately. A few years, and many rolls of film later, off to art college I went to do a degree in photography. On graduating I began shooting for magazines, and gradually built my career. Highlights from this time included a year spent at FABRIC, Benetton’s communications research centre in Italy, exhibiting at Somerset House and photographing Boris Johnson! During this time I also taught an A-level in photography.

I shot my very first wedding in 2004, and soon became hooked! It’s always been the uniquely photographic elements of the medium that have attracted me to photography, those of capturing movement, energy, and emotion in a fleeting moment. At heart I’ve always been a documentary photographer, and hence why I think wedding photography is such a good fit. 

Due in no small part to my grandfather’s keen interest in photography, we’re lucky enough as a family to have lots of amazing family photos and albums. They form an intriguing family history and definitely influence my wedding photography, as I think about how future generations will view my pictures.

Don’t take my word for it! Check out some of the kind words from my previous couples…

Charlotte & I couldn't be happier with the pictures David captured of our day. We have a collection of photos we will cherish forever. David made us feel at ease immediately right from that first meeting up to the day itself. Very Highly recommended.

We are so lucky to have found David to take our wedding photos. We knew from his portfolio that he is a talented photographer, but wow! We were blown away when we received our own photos!Communication was brilliant in the run up to the wedding, and he was an absolute pleasure to be with on the day - at some points we didn't even notice he had been taking photos! Just brilliant, cannot recommend David enough - thank you!!!So difficult to chose just a few of the shots as we have so many favourites!! 🙂

Blown away by the final photos and the entire experience! David was so kind and professional throughout the surprise engagement shoot, giving us gentle tips and doing his best to work with a moving environment. David's creative eye captured the joy both my fiancé and i felt, and thanks to this, we have a memories to last a lifetime! When i look at the photos, it instantly takes me back to that very moment, giving me all the feels and emotions. I've never seen myself so happy, and i am so grateful that David was there to take a snapshot of our love story! I strongly recommend David! Unforgettable experience for a special moment
