Hello, I’m David (Also answer to Dave) a Coffee loving, Cheese hating Wedding Photographer located in the small village of Shrewton, near Salisbury in Wiltshire.

Father to 3 amazing children and husband to my very patient wife!!!

I won my first photography competition in 2004, since then I won the Army Amateur Photographer of the year 3 more times.

I shot my first wedding in 2005 (It wasn’t great) A friend asked me to do it as it was either me or no one! Since then I have learnt, devouring books, magazines, work shops, courses, pretty much what ever I could do to make myself a better photographer.

I’ve had one of my images on the front page of the New York Times (Quite proud of that).

I adore wedding days! They are my escape from the real world and what’s not to like about a wedding? So many happy people sharing the celebration of life! I enjoy being adopted for the day and meeting so many fantastic people.

I don’t think I will ever be able to thank you enough for how wonderful you were for our wedding! If you choose David you really aren’t just getting a photographer! David was hilarious in the morning, joking with the kids in our wedding party, chatting to everyone, calming me down(!) and of course taking photos. Our photos are incredible, and have given us the most wonderful memories to look back on. David will do whatever it takes to get “the photo”, climb very tall ladders, lay on the floor, squat, lunge and even hang his camera out of a top floor window! Never change David, you’re amazing! Thank you so much!

My journey

I started my wedding photography business while I was still serving as an officer in the British Army. Slowly developing my skills and working out what I wanted to be and also finding my style. I have been lucky enough to have been all around the world and have seen some amazing sights. From war zones to wedding venues, it’s the same principle - People and Light!!!!

My Company

I established my Limited Company a few years ago so I do pay my taxes, I have full public liability insurance and a whole host of other insurances, so I don’t take chances when it comes to your day. I always shoot with 2 cameras that are permanently attached to me and sometimes I have 3 cameras on the go at any one time. For those interested I am currently shooting weddings with the Fuji mirrorless system and these cameras are just brilliant!

Experience

I have now recorded over 150 weddings all around the country. After all of my time in the Army, dealing with the wedding mosh pit of grannys and Aunties elbowing me out of the way is easy!

I’ve been told I have a calming influence during some not so calm situations!
