Dan Waters Creative

From the moment my wife and I first met Dan he made us feel completely at ease. Neither of us are keen photography subjects, and we were accordingly anxious when we first ventured on a family photoshoot, a gift courtesy of my brother, with our two boys in tow. It took a maximum of 5 minutes for Dan to have them giggling like mad, and start capturing some fantastic photographs. Dan has an incredible ability to shift focus away from the laborious act of taking one photo after another, and effortlessly makes everyone feel comfortable with jokes, impressions, and good chat! Therefore it's probably no surprise that we immediately thought of Dan to be our wedding photographer after we got engaged. I think we almost booked him before we even chose our venue! The entire process was straightforward and flexible, with various different packages to choose from. Dan takes time to discuss your photo preferences and get to know you, and also to know about your wedding plans. He uses all of this to create a bespoke mood board that he can refer back to throughout the day to ensure he captures the shots you really wanted. If all of that doesn't sell it, then to top things off he brings bottle of prosecco to spray during the group photographs. I felt like Lewis Hamilton in Monaco, even if it was only for 5 seconds... I think the photos speak for themselves, so I've attached a few to this post. The wedding album is equally stunning, with an incredibly high quality finish, which completely befits the importance of the occasion. So many of our guests commented on both the standard of the photos and Dan's personality, which they were highly impressed by. All in all, if you're looking for a photographer who is easy to work with, fun, dedicated, and most of all TALENTED, then you should look no further. I'm so glad that we chose Dan to be our wedding photographer.

Dan was simply amazing, and so down to earth and funny - just what you need to get the guests smiling! We absolutely Love our wedding photos and the way Dan captured all the little moments that are easily missed on the day and even gets the kids to smile! We had 10 rainbow coloured bridesmaids to fit into lots of photos - and Dan managed it effortlessly. What do you do when you need a high shot of all the wedding guests? You lean out the window with a megaphone of course ha! Just brilliant! Dan also blends in well with the wedding guests - and he can bust a move!! He was just the most perfect match for our photographer, we knew from our first sit down with him at his house a year prior -that he was the one. We will forever be grateful that you shared our special day with us Dan, and have been recommending you to absolutely everyone . . . . we get commission yeah? haha. We will certainly be using you again! Thank you so so much :) Mrs and Mrs Hill 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️

We've found Dan fantastic to work with throughout the whole process - from the first Zoom meeting we had with him his warmth and sense of humour shone through and we were delighted to book him in for our wedding day. On the day itself he was great to work with not only for us but also our guests, again thanks to the qualities I mentioned above - he even let one of our guests get behind the camera to take some pics of her own! We received a preview of around 15 photos just 2 days after our wedding, and then just 8 days after our wedding we had all of them! We're really, really happy with the photos - and this is coming from two people who rarely enjoy looking at photos of ourselves. As well as our posed shots, he captured some wonderful, natural moments of our day of us and our guests enjoying ourselves, memories that we'll treasure forever. Thank you again Dan!

Dan was a fantastic photographer!!!! We are so happy we booked him! Dan made the day so incredible, he really helped with any nerves or fears and made everything so relaxed and fun. Dan felt like a part of the day, like a guest! It was fantastic having him there!

From the get go, Dan immediately understood the vibe we liked and could understand the kind of photos we like and were hoping to get. Our wedding was slightly different to the norm, we just wanted to get some beautiful photos of us and our two children, but very natural and not posed. We had our photos taken at a local wood and it was 100% us. Dan was incredible with our children and made so much effort with them and we all felt so comfortable in his presence. The photographs he took are so beautiful, i cried when I saw them. They are are everything we had hoped and more. He captured so much more than just us that day, the love can be seen by anyone that sees our photos. Thank you so much again Dan, you are so wonderful and I can’t put into words how much we loved our photoshoot with you x

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer then Dan is your man! (Get ready for the longest review haha)! From the initial meeting with Dan we knew he was the photographer for us; he was really laidback and bonus made us laugh and had a good sense of humour, which is definitely something we wanted in a photographer… One of the questions Dan put to us during this first meeting was; ‘what three words would you use to describe your wedding?’ … So here are three words to describe Dan; Professional, organised, funny! We had two meetings prior to the wedding with Dan - the initial and then the second was had two months before our wedding day, where we discussed the wedding itself in more detail, as well as the kinds of photos we would like throughout the day. Dan also asked a question which we both quite loved too: ‘Other than yourselves who is/are the most important person/people coming to your wedding’ which I thought was such a special question! When discussing the kind of photos we would like we said; a couple of the classic - ‘line up with the family photos’ but not too many of those - as we wanted more of the fun and quirky photos; the beautiful romantic photos and just loads of candid shots of the day as they’re always the best to see sometimes! And Dan did not disappoint - the photos he captured were so beautiful!!! I think I probably cried at most of them when we received them (Even cried at a picture of a beer drum - because I hadn’t had the chance to see it during the day) - it really was great to look at these gorgeous photos he took and to see some of the amazing moments from our wedding day that we maybe never got to witness, as well as also being reminded of the most beautiful day we both had!!! The day and the venue were just captured so wonderfully by Dan; I can’t express how much I just love looking at the photos he took (I can’t stop looking through them and reliving every moment)! When taking the photos he is honestly the most chilled out person (which I think you definitely want and need in a photographer) and he makes you feel 100% relaxed whilst being photographed! He made a note of the kinds of photos we discussed during our meeting so the fun quirky photos were not missed! We honestly had a blast having Dan as our wedding photographer and we are both so glad that we found him! I’ve said it once, but I will say it again; if you’re looking for someone to make your day come to life in the photos then HE IS your man! Again thank you sooooo so much Dan! I’m probably going to go look through our photos again for about the millionth time!! Amy & Connor Ryan

From the moment I first spoke with Dan he put me at ease. We had to change our wedding date and venue, I really wanted Dan, as my daughter had said how his photos are just so natural. Thankfully he promptly came back with available dates and everything got sorted. On the day he was smiling happy and interacting with all the children and guests. We had one very special guest our dog and he has captured wonderful photos of her. Nothing was too much trouble. Dan is very approachable. We received our album yesterday and we both loved it so many wonderful memories to cherish, made us want to do it all over again!!! I would throughly recommend Dan he’s very professional and his work is absolutely amazing.

Dan is a phenomenal photographer! We booked Dan for our wedding photography after searching through countless others, on reading his website bio, we were sold. Dan was fantastic throughout the day, and has captured our day perfectly! I want to highlight what a gift Dan has with children, even my wayward toddler! I was desperate to get a photo of my children all together and laughed when he said he could! (good luck i thought!) but he did! I only really noted after the wedding that there was a huge chunk of time where id forgotten he was even there! Dan just blended in and nothing was too much trouble! We had ample time beforehand to decide on the kind of photos that we wanted, Dan even talked us through a portfolio so that he could get a real feel for who we are, and what works for us. From the get go Dan was upfront with his more than reasonable photo packages and prices and there were no nasty surprises at the end. We are so so happy with our photos, and would reccomend him to anyone looking for a wedding or family photographer. We will be hiring Dan again for some shots of the children, We really couldnt have had a better photographer!!

Highly recommend Dan! He was great from start to finish. He took so many amazing shots and many of them we didn't even realise he'd captured. He was fab with the little ones we had at our wedding too. Nothing was too much trouble. We wanted a relaxed feel and he definitely gave us that, down to earth and friendly. We also recieved our pictures through within a couple of week which was great. Thank you

Dan photographed our wedding in September 2019. He was so helpful through discussions and on the day; truly is the world's most helpful photographer! Throughout the day he took so many amazing photos and made everyone he encountered smile with his relaxed approach and great humour. We did set him a bit of a challenge with some of the night time shots we requested but what he achieved was better than we could have imagined! Awesome chap, highly recommend! (He was such a great photographer we actually book him every year now to do a family photoshoot!)
