Testimonials

Megan

Dan was amazing — so genuine and friendly. We’ve been guests at other weddings where the photographers were very demanding, but Dan is the complete opposite. At times we even forgot we were being photographed, which allowed us to fully enjoy our day. The photos he captured are beautiful and will be treasured for a lifetime. We can’t recommend Dan enough!

Ella

Dan was absolutely brilliant on our wedding day and the lead-up! He was really easy-going, knew exactly what he was doing, offered great suggestions, and our photos had a quick turnaround. They look absolutely amazing. Thank you!

Norman

We are so incredibly lucky to have been able to have Dan to capture our wedding! He is an amazing professional and his work speaks for itself! Since we met him at a wedding show, Dan has been brilliant in terms of timely and professional communication and walking us through all the steps in his process. On the day, he took beautiful photos of our ceremony and our friends and family at Norwich Castle. He was patient and guided everyone when it came to group photos, so that the photos are the best they could be. Dan then had discussed with us about walking through the city centre with our group, and it was the best experience ever! The photos are just gorgeous! Everyone was saying on the day and ever since what a wonderful job Dan did on the day! When designing our wedding album, Dan walked us through all the options and prices, and our album is just so perfect! We would wholeheartedly recommend Dan for your big day!

We are happy with our photographer and his amazing work. He was very professional, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the day. One of the things we loved most was how naturally he captured moments, many of the best photos were taken without us even noticing, which made them feel very real and emotional. He didn’t just take posed photos, but truly captured the special moments and feelings of our wedding day. We are so grateful for these beautiful memories and highly recommend him.

Ellie

Choosing a photographer for your big day is so tricky and feels like such a leap of faith for something so important, but we were SO delighted that we chose Dan! We had a pre-wedding/engagement shoot in advance which I was quite nervous about but Dan put us both at ease and was amazing at suggesting lots of ideas and natural movements to get some great photos. We had our dog and horse join for part of the shoot and were amazed to get such incredibly lovely photos considering the animal chaos and very windy weather conditions which we were navigating on the day! It really helped us to be more natural on the day of the wedding too. We also took the opportunity to show Dan our church and rustic DIY wedding venue and get some ideas for the photos on the big day.
On the day of the wedding Dan was such a calming presence and had that wonderful ability to go unseen amongst the guests and get some great candid shots as well as all of the (long list!) of family/friends photos we had requested. He even made sure we had every shot that we wanted before he left at the end of the night too which gave us the opportunity to quickly add on a last minute balcony photo!
Thank you so much, Dan, and we would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for beautiful wedding photos.

Kelly

I am so, so happy with the photos Dan took at our wedding celebration party recently. He far exceeded my expectations and got some fantastic shots - capturing the night perfectly.

Dan is friendly, professional, accommodating and makes absolutely sure that you get what you need from him.

I would 100% recommend Dan for anyone wanting the most perfect photo collection to remember a special event. 5*! Thank-you so much Dan!

Maria

Dan was an absolute pleasure to work with!! I cant actually find the words to express how amazing he is, from hiding in bushes to dodging traffic all to get the perfect shots for us, he goes more than the extra mile. Dan was punctual and professional and helped us so much with what to do and when on our special day. To us his experience was so much more than photography. If you want an amazing photographer who will do all you want and more for an extremely reasonable price then choose Dan, you will not be disappointed, he really did make our day so special and I would choose him a thousand times over, thank you Dan!

George

We went to Dan for our wedding photos, and were thrilled with the results.
He was so thorough and made sure to capture the perfect photos for every moment.
Would highly recommend his work!

Simeon

Dan's service was great. Before the wedding (in fact before we had committed to use him) we had a meeting with Dan to discuss what we wanted. He was very responsive to what we wanted, and totally got the approach we wanted to take. He was very easy to speak to obviously knew his stuff. He checked out the venues so that he knew what angles he might photograph the wedding from. We set out quite a demanding list of photo opportunities we wanted him to capture, and he didn't miss a beat, from arrival of the Bride up to the beginning of the meal (we chose not to have a photographer after this). He didn't get in the way at the ceremony or other moments, so we could really enjoy the moment without being self-conscious about the camera. There were several photos that we weren't even aware he was taking! Altogether, well worth hiring.

Julie

We have no hesitation in recommending Dan. He provided us with a fantastic array of photos from our wedding. No photo request was too much, he captured shots that we would not have seen and even made the most camera shy individuals feel at ease. Dan is diligent, kind and efficient, we knew as soon as we met him that he was the wedding photographer for us.

Alister

We used Dan for our wedding photographer. What a great guy! Dan took the time to talk to us about what we wanted and our ideas. On our wedding day Dan was so patient with us and our guests. The shots we ended up with are fantastic. We would highly recommend Dan for your photography needs.
Thank you Dan.

Asher

We were lucky to find Dan, as we had a choice of photographers to choose from in Norfolk including our own photographers from London. We made a very wise choice. Dan has such a pleasant personality and is professional with it. We booked him for half a day, but wished we booked him for the whole day. Our pictures arrived about 2 weeks after and he captured so many amazing shots, all the fun, happiness and beauty of the wedding. He knows the shots, knows the poses and knows the area very well. Like others have said you hardly knew he was there. He wasn't shy in rounding people up as he really valued our time and money. The colours and the quality of the shots really stand out. Somehow he got nearly all the families in one big shot, I've seen other photographers struggle with this. I would recommend him for another award.

Ian

After admiring Dan’s photographs at a wedding fair (and his approach – he lets his work speak for itself – no hard sales tactics needed when you see the quality of his shots!), we were thrilled to book Dan for our September 2024 wedding.
Not only is Dan a fantastic photographer, he is a really nice chap! 😊 Guests commented on Dan’s friendly and polite manner, organisation (submitting a list in advance for family/friends photos made it easier to co-ordinate), and commitment to capturing the perfect shots of our special day – Dan was rushing around all day, but equally he is so good at what he does, sometimes we didn’t always know he was there! (and this resulted in some lovely candid shots). Dan made everyone feel comfortable. We were a bit nervous about the posed photos but Dan put us at ease and made everything look (and feel) really natural.
Personally our favourite aspect of Dan’s work are the stunning landscape shots. This is what really attracted us to Dan’s style and these are some of our favourite photos. We are spoilt for choice on what ones to pick for our album!
Throughout the planning process, Dan was professional, responsive and helpful. Dan took the time to meet with us in person to discuss all details – this made us feel even more comfortable on the day as we had already built up a good rapport 😊
The final photos are simply beautiful and we have had so many compliments. Dan presents the photos on a USB stick in a personalised tin, which is a lovely touch. There are also numerous album choices, all very high quality as you would expect 😊
In summary, we would thoroughly recommend Dan and 5 stars is not enough – book Dan for your wedding asap before someone else does! 😊

Kirsty

Absolutely incredible! Our wedding photographer was a true artist and professional.
Dan’s warm, friendly nature put us all at ease. He blended into the background, capturing moments as they unfolded naturally.

Looking back at these photos, we can truly relive our wedding day in all its beauty and joy.

We couldn’t be happier with his work. He went above and beyond to ensure we had photos that we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your memories and will deliver the most beautiful images, Dan’s the one! Highly recommend!

Trudy

Highly recommend Dan, he photographed our outdoor wedding in August and made us feel so relaxed, our guests all commented on how lovely he was and how nothing was too much trouble for him. The photos are absolutely amazing, natural and captured the whole feel of our laid back wedding.

Amy

Dan was my sister's photographer back in 2022 and we loved her photo's so it was a no brainer that we wanted Dan to picture our special day a few weeks ago. He was so natural which put everyone at ease and he was so enthusiastic with getting all the perfect shots. Not to mention is he a lovely guy! We would highly recommend.

Hayley

So lucky to have found such a great photographer at short notice. His service was fantastic. He visited the church beforehand & kept in contact with us to make sure our requests were made.
On the day, he made everyone feel relaxed with his amazing personality.
Dan was very professional & kept to the timings so all requested photos were completed. Even with the windy weather conditions, we captured some wonderful veil moments! His attention to detail was immaculate. Editing of photos, shared links & presentation of usb stick was so efficient & personalised in a gorgeous memory tin.
Dan truly deserves a 5* rating.
Highly recommend.
Hayley & John

Emma

We worked with Dan on our wedding 2 weeks ago at the Norfolk Mead and what can I say... he was absolutely phenomenal! A complete professional, Dan was not only kind, friendly, and generous with his time, but very approachable with our guests and joined in with the festivities! I would highly recommend Dan to anyone who is looking for a photographer for any event.. you will not regret it!

Becky

We couldn’t have imagined a photographer any better than Dan to join our wedding day! The amount of enthusiasm and effort put into getting all the perfect shots and more was second to none. Dan is full of positive energy and made us feel super comfortable when having photos, he exceeded all expectation’s and is very clearly in the job for all of the right reasons! Really appreciated and highly recommend🙂

Harriet

Dan was our wedding photographer at Thursford back in 2018. I would highly recommend his services to anybody who is looking for a photographer who has the ability to capture the most beautiful, natural photographs, without even realising he is there! We had several young children in attendance too and i was amazed at how good he was with them, the children all instantly took to him! 5 star service from getting ready all the way through to dancing the night away! I would have no hesitation in recommending Dan to anybody.

Holly

Dan photographed our wedding in February 2024. We had this over two days and nothing was too much trouble for him. He was patient and made us feel really comfortable. Dan was amazing at capturing natural moments of our guests as well as picking perfect places in our venues to take some couple photos. The night shots Dan got are absolutely stunning. We couldn’t be happier and couldn’t recommend Dan enough.

Aspen

Dan is fantastic! From the moment we met him at a wedding show we knew he was the photographer for us. Dan was so good at coming back to us with any queries we had and is meticulous in how he works. The over all end product is stunning, not just the photos but the presentation of the USB and the quality of his albums and prints.

On our wedding day we hardly knew he was there snapping shots in the background, even our guests commented on how professional he was! Our ‘organised’ shots came out beautifully, even on a freezing January evening Dan was happy to be outside getting the shots we really wanted.
I honestly cannot recommend Dan enough!

Rhys

Working with Dan was an absolutely fantastic experience! One of the friendliest guys you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting and always quick to respond to any queries or questions we had leading up to our big day.
On the day itself, Dan has this ability to almost disappear into the crowd as one of your guests whilst capturing fantastic candid shots of you, your friends and your family. Even when it comes to the more posed photos, Dan lets you go at your own pace ensuring you are able to get the photo's you want whilst enjoying the experience of the day.
Needless to say, the quality of the photos we received at the end were exemplary and the album Dan produced was second to none and already has pride of place in our living room.
If you are looking for a friendly, professional and high-quality wedding photographer then look no further...Dan is your man!

Megan & Rhys.

Warren

Couldn't recommend Dan enough. He is thoughtful and creative, and the results showed. It was such a difficult discussion shortlisting the photos to go in the album as there were so many great pictures. They were not just beautiful, but really caught how special our day was.

Dan is a great guy and we got some lovely compliments from family and guests. He Immediately made everyone feel relaxed and made taking the photos fun.

Thank you for the recording our wonderful day, we will cherish the photos always.

Chloe

Dan photographed our wedding in June and did an absolutely phenomenal job! Everyone has said how amazing all the photos looked and my two young daughters absolutely loved him too! Couldn’t recommend him enough!
Even through the whole booking process he totally understood what our vision was and it’s come out beautifully. So happy I’ve got these to look back on.
Thank you Dan!

Laura

Dan shot our wedding back in August last year and he was one of the biggest and best parts of our special day! We couldn’t recommend him enough every meeting we had with him fit perfectly around our schedule he even brought all his albums to us at our house for us to make our selection. On the wedding day itself he was brilliant! He bounced between both me and my husband all morning to capture moments from both parties and he also captured the most amazing photos of the whole day that we will treasure forever!

Thank you so so much Dan!

Holly

We recently had the pleasure of working with Dan for our wedding, and I can confidently say he was the perfect fit for capturing our special day. Dan's ability to seamlessly blend in with the wedding party was remarkable; honestly, I hardly noticed the photos being taken—exactly the candid, natural style we desired, and Dan delivered flawlessly.

Receiving our wedding photos promptly was an added bonus, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We had a pre-wedding shoot was a wonderful touch, allowing us to feel comfortable in front of the camera and giving us the opportunity to get to know Dan better and creating some lovely memories and photos to look back on. Dan is a very friendly, warm and bubbly person, which created a relaxed atmosphere for us and our guests, ensuring that nothing felt forced.

Dan's professionalism and evident experience in photography shone through every step of the way. I highly recommend Dan for both wedding photography and engagement shots.

Megan


Dan was fantastic. We're so glad he was part of our day. He made us feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout. Always replied quickly, great communication and 100% recommended. Lovely guy and he takes the most beautiful photos

Kelly

Dan is one of the loveliest people I have met he is so chilled and make you feel so relaxed and you really don't even know he is there. Also very professional and very creative with the pictures he wants to take.
He is amazing with children he doesn't force them to have pictures taken and gets pictures when they don't even realise he even played games with them to get them to feel comfortable with him. Absolutely loved our wedding photos and couldn't have asked for more. These are certainly memories to treasure. Thank you.

Hannah

Dan photographed mine and my husbands wedding at Wensum Valley Hotel, Golf and Country Club on Sunday 14th of May 2023. We can’t thank him enough for the beautiful results. Dan photographed the small bridal party at my parents house where I was getting ready, and stayed till well after the first dance at the evening reception. I had a bit of a stressful/ panicked morning due to my wedding car turning up an hour late. But Dan was so on the ball when we were all panicking, and straight away he suggested driving over to the venue ahead of us, while we waited for the car... so he could take some photos of the groom and his family and friends who were already at the venue. Due to having my wedding later in the day, and losing more time due to the car turning up late, I was worried we would not of got many quality shots. But both my husband and I were blown away when we got the photos back from Dan. He had captured everything and everyone... from me getting ready, to some beautiful candid shots of my parents and family and the small children (my page boy and flower girl) in my parents garden before we left. Then so many lovely pictures of my husband and his side of the family and his friends before I even arrived. And from then on, so many wonderful candid shots of the whole day, from me walking down the aisle, myself and my husband greeting the guests after the ceremony, the speeches, and people just chilling out and enjoying themselves, right through to the first dance and the disco in the evening. Dan also captured some beautiful couple shots of just me and my husband out on the golf course that my husband and I will treasure forever. Dan is a complete professional and has an amazing eye for a good shot... but he is also such a nice down to earth man! We would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer xx

Amy

Dan was our photographer and I’m so glad we picked him. He was absolutely incredible, made our day very special and captured so many moments. We love our pictures. Highly recommend him x

Asher

My wife and I met Dan at a wedding fair and knew right away he had to be our photographer - He's cheerful, enthusiastic and dedicated, Dan was so helpful from start to finish. We were so impressed by how he went above and beyond to capture wonderful shots of us, and helped us realise the exact kind of photos we wanted.
We were also impressed by the variety of options for, and the final quality of, the wedding album he produced at the end.
Long story short, we would heartily recommend him!

Hayden

Highly recommend Dan ! Dan was our photographer for our wedding, he listened to our ideas and gave advice. He was warm and friendly and great with the children. So please with our photos, my sister is now having him as her wedding photographer too. Thank you Dan!

Ellie

Absolutely amazing wedding photographer. Dan stayed from the wedding prep to the first dance and made everyone feel at ease when taking photos. All my guests commented on how amazing his was at a photographer when taking their pictures, and also the pictures come out amazing! The photos are such high quality photos we couldn’t be more pleased with them. I have recommended Dan to a few of my friends who are getting married in the next few years, and will always continue to recommend him as he is just the best photographer. Thank you so much once again Dan for taking pictures on our special day and memories to last forever. X

Nicole

I chose Dan as our wedding photographer after him doing such a great job at my sisters wedding a few years earlier and I am so glad I did. Not only is he an incredible photographer, his kindness and adaptability he gave on our special day was beyond anything you could ever ask for! He captured our day exactly how we wanted it! I would recommend Dan for any events you wanted captured, a true professional and fantastic man.

Freddie

Dan was the most wonderful photographer we could have asked for. He made us feel completely comfortable creating the most natural photos full of smiles and laughter. He photoed our day making it a fun and enjoyable thing to do. Our album is just perfect. He has made our day stay forever remembered beautifully in photos. Highly recommend Dan.

Amy

As soon as I met Dan I knew that he was the wedding photographer we wanted. He was so easy to chat too, he listened to all of our ideas and really worked with us to get the best photos of our day. He was with us from the start of the day to the very end and all of the guests remarked on how fantastic he was. He took amazing natural photos and his friendly nature really put us and the guests at ease. It was like having an extra friend at the wedding rather than seeing him as just the photographer. We are so so happy with our wedding photos and the album Dan made for us is just beautiful. He captured the day perfectly and we also had our pre wedding photo shoot with Dan on location. I would 110% recommend Dan to anyone!

Ben

We couldn't have been happier with Dan's work photographing our wedding earlier this year. From our first communication with him he was was friendly, professional, and understanding. He was very accommodating of our availability when it came to meetings etc, and flexible when it came to our requirements and desires for the service.
We had ample communication with him in the run up to our wedding, which was very reassuring. On the day itself he was prompt and professional; he captured everything we wanted without being intrusive or obstructive. The resulting photos are fantastic quality and the price for such a good service was second to none.

Georgia

Dan was our wedding photographer and throughout the whole process he was friendly, helpful and professional. We had a lovely engagement shoot and we all braved the rain but it was worth it! Our wedding photos were amazing and the comments from friends have family were all great. The photos capture every part of the day.
We also have the most amazing album to remember every moment. We hope Dan will be available to capture photos of our baby due to arrive in October

Christie

We hired Dan to do our wedding photos after a friends recommendation and also having him on our shortlist so we thought we would book an initial meeting. Communication was really good with quick responses and before we knew it we were in Dan’s office looking through his portfolio and albums. We were really impressed with the quality of work and Dan was so friendly and professional we decided to book him. At the meeting I remember Dan asking if we had any questions and we didn’t have any as he had covered every aspect without us needing to ask. We met Dan again in the lead up to the wedding to discuss any photos we wanted and to give a list of family names which meant on the day group photos could be done quickly and efficiently. The great thing was Dan was always available at times to suit us, even after work. We felt at ease whenever we discussed the plans.

On the day of the wedding, Dan arrived in great time. He blended into the background perfectly and our guests even commented on how they didn’t even see him despite them being in lots of photos. Me and my husband aren’t the posing type but Dan made us feel comfortable on the day and got some lovely photos of us that look very natural. It was great to see some of the shots he had taken of our friends/family as we wouldn’t have seen certain expressions or reactions otherwise. We took some time out to get some photos alone and they were done so efficiently that our guests barely noticed we had gone. It was a busy time of year (with Christmas etc) so our photos took some time to come back but they were worth the wait and we absolutely loved them. Presentation of our USB was stunning also!

If anyone is looking for a friendly, professional and reliable photographer with quick responses, then I would definitely recommend Dan. The photos speak for themselves and having someone who knows what they are doing really took the pressure off us when busy wedding planning. Thanks Dan!

Michelle

Dan was such an amazing photographer! He made our day so special, took some beautiful photos and captured so many memories which we will always treasure. He took both natural and posed and was so accommodating to our needs and what we wanted. He’s very professional and truly such a genuine nice guy with it. It was a pleasure having him share our day with us and we would high recommend him to anyone! Definitely worth the money. We’ll always be grateful for our beautiful pictures!
