Dodging Showers and Finding Sunshine
When you plan a wedding in Cumberland, you learn to embrace the weather, and Zara and Douglas did just that. Their beautiful day at New House Farm, near Cockermouth, was a true testament to finding the joy and light, no matter what the sky is doing. The day was a mix of classic British weather—a little bit of everything! We spent the day artfully dodging a few passing showers, but each time the clouds parted, the sun shone even brighter.

Claire & Robin at Santon Bridge
Dave shot our wedding in 2015 at Santon Bridge Inn / Wasdale. He came on board at short notice just a month before the big day after we were let down by someone else. Really helpful and flexible. Really good value for the quality of work produced and delivered exactly what we wanted in good time. Mostly coordinated by phone and email as we live in Leeds. Dave`s a thoroughly nice chap and I have recommended him to others on a number of occasions.

We can't thank you enough!
Seriously Dave, we've heard of so many people that have been disappointed with their wedding photos! I was so glad I knew someone who would do such a good job, we couldn't be happier with them and can't thank you enough! You don't get the chance to do a retake, so can't emphasize enough how much these mean! Many many thanks from an extremely grateful happy couple!

Fabulous, relaxed photos
I just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for the photos, we are so pleased with them, they look fabulous. You had a very relaxed approach and were happy to take our ideas which we liked, as I've been to weddings where the photographer is quite pushy and takes over the day, I wouldn't have liked that at all. Thanks again, both our families love the photos!

Thanks for our beautiful photos!
Dave photographed our Wedding on 4.9.21 at the Crown hotel, Wetheral. The photos are absolutely gorgeous, and the USB stick is beautifully presented in a bespoke gift box. Dave was very professional, patient and easy to talk to throughout and the resulting photos are beautiful. Thank you so much for capturing many special moments.

The level of professionalism from the off-set was
The level of professionalism from the off-set was outstanding. The passion for photography radiates throughout his work, and the quality he delivers is second to none. Dave’s attitude towards what we wanted out of him was superb, which is something you won’t find in all elements of your big day. What’s just as important as finding a photographer who delivers exceptional quality, is finding one who is friendly and has the patience of a saint. And I’m delighted to say Dave excels in all of these.

Fantastic service
Fantastic service in planning, the day and afterwards. All shots were executed brilliantly with the results to a very high standard, we felt at ease during the day and the candid shots at the reception were taken without any impact on our guests. Feedback from all guests was that Dave was a great wedding photographer too!

How long after the wedding do we receive our photos?

Once your amazing day is captured, I back up the photos as soon as possible before doing anything else. Then I will begin work on them and the process usually takes around two weeks to complete. You'll receive your photos on a personalised USB stick in a beautiful and bespoke presentation box, you can then have fun with the photos by printing copies, making a photobook, or doing countless other things for your family and friends.
