"Damien somehow manages to be everywhere all at once, yet goes unnoticed for most of the day." Sophie & Dom (Happy Couple)
My approach offers super relaxed, natural photography for couples who don't want to spend all day posing. I strive to create timeless images. I don't do gimmicks or follow trends, just tasteful, creative images that capture the narrative and vibe of your day just how you remember it. Images that make the viewer feel as if they're there in the moment and will look as amazing in 25 years plus as they do 1 month after your wedding...

Damien is the real deal!
He is professional and he is an absolute artist. He was very prompt, friendly, approachable, and performed exactly as advertised, beating every deadline he had promised us throughout the process. His portfolio speaks for itself, but he also creates a relaxed atmosphere and captures all the thoughtful details I was too busy to notice on the day. His photos will be treasured in our family for future generations, I can’t wait to show them the pictures from our wedding day.

Damien truly went above and beyond to deliver my wedding photos. His professionalism and talent can’t go unnoticed, I couldn’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a photographer.

Noting short of perfect!
The pictures are just outstanding, capturing each and every single one of our guests just as we know them. When the first few previews landed, I knew the rest were going to be incredible and that they were. We will now forever be able to reminisce with such pride and joy. Damien you were noting but short of perfect! THANK YOU

I would highly recommend Damien.
He was incredibly professional throughout the process and extremely accommodating of a number of COVID related delays to the wedding date. On the day his priority was first and foremost the comfort and enjoyment of us as a couple and of our guests and this slightly more informal style suited us perfectly. The pictures have all come out brilliant too.

Damien was great from start to finish.
Very relaxed and made us feel at ease straight away. He blended in to our wedding party and we didn’t really notice him throughout the day, and even so he has managed to capture all the best moments in the perfect way.

We can't thank Damien enough...
We can only say amazing things about Damien. We are delighted with the images, delivered only a few weeks after. Damien was our immediate choice due to his focus on relaxed and candid shots, capturing the feelings of our guests and some wonderful little moments of the day when we didn’t even realise. He was easy to chat with in the enquiry stage and we just connected on looking for a meaningful and relaxed vibe in our images, not posed or forced. The images are so crisp and beautifully capturing

Frequently Asked Questions
(10)

What is your most memorable wedding?

My first ever one as a photographer, I didn't get paid but I was absolutely terrified but loved it at the same time.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Non Traditional, Unposed, Emotive, Artistic, Joyful.

What about your business are you most proud of?

The feedback I get from my couples. Playing such an important role in the biggest day of somebody's life and delivering images that genuinely touch them is extremely rewarding.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Take it one step at a time. Book your venue then look for a photographer and so on. I always think a band works better than a disco. Most importantly - the food gets eaten, the venue get ready for the next wedding, the dress gets stored safely away but you. photographs are the one thin that remain.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

One made me laugh recently when the bride had several photos framed and displayed in the gents toilets of all the grooms dodgy hairstyles through the years! It's always great if people can throw in a bit of humour!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Once I take an enquiry we arrange a phone or Zoom call. Once the booking is confirmed we lease around 1 month prior to the wedding and I send over a planning document covering essential information for the day, timings, must have shots etc.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

There isn't one - every wedding is unique. Why would you want cookie cutter wedding photos!

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

Check out my website and decide for yourself....

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Tell it like it is, there's no point in pretending it didn't happen and you'll want to remember your day as it was. Nothing wrong with a few umbrellas or indoor shots!

Describe how you got into photography.

My parents always took terrible family photos and my wife has a really bad memory so photography became and important way for me of documenting life. Once I had bought my first DSLR around 10 years it became a real passion and I dreamed of being able to do it for a living one day.
