D B McDonald Photography

From the get go Doug was down to earth & friendly guy, easy to talk to and had brilliant ideas leading up to the day! When the day arrives, Doug was amazing! He came up with ideas we didn’t even think of, snapping photos of everything! (Including bridesmaid spilling drinks! I look forward to seeing those!) he was able to work alongside the venue & DJ creating unique ways to take group pictures which we loved! Honestly cannot recommend Doug enough! Even our guests loved him and got him involved with pictures!! Although we haven’t received all the photos back, we’re in love with the ones we have got already! Here’s a sneak peak to his work!

Doug was friendly from the start when we booked him and very professional. He took the time with us to explain his packages and what they included and emailed us a breakdown of his services. Closer to the date of our wedding he checked in and made sure we were okay and even helped us with a rough timeline for the day and we had a call a few weeks prior to go through everything, see if we had any musts and must nots and again, he was super helpful. He turned up on the day on time as he said he would and got cracking with minimal input needed from me - clearly a true pro who has done this before. He knew what he wanted of in terms of photos of detail and decor and just got on with the job. Bridal prep time he was very respectful, not too invasive and he helped with time keeping reminders too. He was also good with my 3 year old flower girl and subsequent children at the wedding. At the ceremony I didn’t even notice he was there (in the best way possible). Again not invasive and yet still managed to capture dreamy photos. He was friendly, complimentary and game for a giggle. He worked his absolute butt off all day and into the evening and still managed to send me preview photos by the next morning. It has only just been over 3 weeks since our wedding and Doug has produced 4 out of 5 online albums (plus downloadable links), he has sorted them into “sections” of the day and the photos are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. He has captured everything - from the prep, to the decor and details, to the ceremony and the formal shots. One of my favourite sections is around 12 photos of the first look with my dad and the photo order is just like a fairy tale story, with him looking away and then me coming behind him, his reaction and the aftermath. Doug captured it along with everything else perfectly. His price was more than reasonable, if anything “too cheap” (and I mean that in a nice way). I would 100% use again and 100% recommend. Can’t wait to see the last album!! Thanks Doug!!

Doug was amazing. From the moment we made the first contact, right through till we had the pictures. He put everyone at ease and all our guests said how friendly he was. Nothing was to much trouble and the picture he has taken are amazing and we will treasure forever. Will be recommending him to anyone in need of a photographer. Thank u so much

We hired Doug for our wedding, he was brilliant, put us at ease instantly and nothing was too much trouble. The photos are amazing as well, even made me look half decent. Would recommend to anyone who's needs a professional photographer

Both Doug & Steve the Videographer have been amazing. They were able to capture the whole day in beautiful natural detail. We are delighted with the service from start to finish & would 100% recommend to anyone.

Doug was absolutely amazing! He was professional but friendly and very thorough. He kept in contact and set out expectations for us. Gave us hints and tips to ensure we got the perfect photos which we did! Punctual and made sure we had such lovely photos to remember the day! Such great value for money

Doug has taken absolutely stunning photos of my wedding. From starting at our home taking pictures of us getting ready, photos upon arrival in the cars, the day time ceremony all the way through to our 1st dance in front of our evening guests. So professional, friendly and all round a nice man. He captured our day perfectly. Highly recommend. 5☆

Wow, Doug was amazing at our wedding last week, he was communicating all the time to let us know what was going to happen next and how he wanted us etc. He sent us some previews the very next day which we're amazing. Would highly recommend, thank you for being apart of our day!

Highly recommend Booked Doug for our wedding in October 2024 and was extremely happy with the service he provided, great communication, great price and great pictures.

Doug has left us lost for words with the FANTASTIC job he did for our wedding! When we met Doug, he gave off this energetic and positive vibe that was perfect for us. Throughout the planning process he was very understanding and tailored to our every need. On the day Doug was not only professional but fun too! We managed to get everything done that we needed to. I can’t describe how stunning the photos that we received are. He truly captured the love and magic of our wedding day! We will definitely be using Doug again in the future and will highly recommend him to anyone who needs a photographer!
