We could not have asked for a better photographer. Dale listened to us throughout the process around what type of photos we were looking for and we weren't disappointed. He was great with communication, and all of our guests commented throughout the day how relaxed he made them feel and how unintrusive he was.
The photos themselves were perfect, capturing the unstaged, natural theme that we wanted and to have them all easily accessed to download was a great bonus. We certainly will be recommending Dale for any future events.

Dale was an absolutely incredible photographer. Not only are his pictures fantastic, but he really made such a positive impact on the day.

Dale made me feel so comfortable and at ease. He really took on board what sort of pictures we wanted and executed them flawlessly. I really like how natural and timeless his style of photography is. He got the perfect balance with photos, and captured all stages of the day so wonderfully.

What also really stood out to me is how he genuinely made the day so much easier and calm for me. He used his years of experiences at weddings along with his helpfulness, charisma and eye for detail to make the day so much more enjoyable for me. When things can be high pressure or as a first time bride there are inevitably things you forget or you don’t know - he is brilliant. Without him no one would have noticed my dress wasn’t done up properly. He was so helpful rounding everyone up. He would hold my bouquet and just generally read all situations so well and do whatever to be most helpful.

I honestly couldn’t be more grateful and couldn’t recommend him enough.

Wow what can we say?! I’m lost for words. We met Dale at our friends wedding a couple of years ago and knew instantly we wanted him!! The most amazing photographer ever. Not only is he extremely talented in that field but his personality and witty humour made our wedding day that bit more special and fun. Even now 5 weeks later every one of our guests is talking about you. How amazing you were, your jokes, the vibes, the humour. You made us all feel so comfortable and at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better person / photographer to capture our day. You deserve all the 5*’s in the world and couldn’t recommend you enough. Thank you for taking so many photos, for capturing our special moments, getting loads of candid shots and providing us with such quality service, updates and sharing of the photos the sneak peeks were AMAZING whilst we waited for the rest which were equally as amazing. Thank you so much again

We were so happy we booked Dale! From the moment we booked him right through to the morning of the wedding, I felt completely relaxed. I didn't have to worry about a thing because he was so organised and made the whole process so easy.

Even before the wedding day, I felt really comfortable around Dale, which is unusual for me because I normally take a while to warm up to people. He has such a friendly personality, is always cracking jokes, and instantly puts you at ease.

We asked Dale to capture our day naturally instead of focusing on lots of traditional group photos, so we could really relive all the little moments afterwards, and he absolutely delivered. He was also really open to any ideas we had about the kind of photos we wanted, which made everything feel so personal.

When we got our sneak peek, I was honestly blown away. We received around 100 photos while waiting for the full gallery, which was such an amazing surprise—I was expecting maybe four or five! Every single photo is beautiful, and I couldn't be happier with them.

Thank you, Dale, for capturing so many special moments of our day and all the memories with our family and friends. We honestly couldn't recommend you more!

Thank you again,

Kirsty and Jack! :)

We booked Dale for our wedding and from the day we booked we felt at ease. He kept in touch as the day drew closer. On the day Dale got there early to look around and get a feel for the place . He got to work and just made everybody feel comfortable with him taking photos. I have 13 noisy grandchildren and he had them listening and doing great poses. He made every guest smile, laugh and feel individually special. After the wedding everyone kept asking who the photographer was as he fitted in so well they thought he was family. I can’t recommend him enough as he made our special day extra special

After being recommended by my brother and sister-in-law to ask Dale to do our newborn photoshoot we couldn’t be happier.

He was able to fit us in last minute due to early arrival and on the day he was very punctual to the time agreed.

Once arrived he brought a calm and enthusiastic energy and made us feel at ease and the shoot was stress free.

We are very happy with the finished product, with some lovely photos of our little one that we will always looking back on fondly. Great memories. We would recommend Dale to anybody.

Thank you,

Martin, Kerry and baby Monty.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer than Dale. From the moment he arrived, he brought such a calm, funny, and reassuring energy to the day that immediately put everyone at ease. He was incredibly organised, accommodating, and professional throughout, while still making everything feel completely natural and relaxed.

Dale captured all of the most special moments so beautifully, especially the natural, candid shots that we will treasure forever. The photos captured every emotion and special moment so perfectly, and we are absolutely in love with every single picture he shared with us.

We genuinely couldn’t recommend Dale highly enough. If you’re looking for someone talented, kind, calming, and able to capture the real magic of your wedding day, he is the one

Thank you,

Charlee & Rishi

We chose Dale to capture our wedding day, and from the very beginning it was seamless and felt tailored to the type of photos/moments we would want to capture.
From getting ready in the morning right through to our first dance, Dale has such a natural, relaxed presence that made all of our guests feel completely at ease. He had everyone laughing and enjoying themselves. This really shows in the photos, as Dale captured lovely photos of all our guests (including the camera shy ones).

He captured so many special memories, not just for us but for all 60 of our guests. We’ve received countless compliments about how brilliant he was, and we couldn’t be happier with the final photos.

We would absolutely recommend Dale to anyone looking for a talented photographer who brings energy, laughter and who genuinely cares about capturing the best photos possible!

Thank you so much Dale.

Anya and Tony

We have had photos from Dale over the last 8 years, from our engagement an wedding photos to family photos and he ever fails to amaze us! Dale is brilliant with the kids and knows how to get a perfect natural shot, his photos never look awkward or staged and he always produces a huge amount of images!

Where to even start! We had decided to have an informal wedding party to celebrate getting married and I wanted to find someone who would take natural candid fun pictures, and somehow stumbled upon Dale’s Facebook and struck gold! He was amazing from start to finish. He advised timings/how long would be good coverage, kept us up to date in the lead up to the party and when he arrived it’s like he was on the guest list. He made everyone feel so comfortable and everyone said how lovely he was. We had a sneak peek the next day and the pictures were everything we had wanted and more. We received our full set of edited pictures today and I truly can’t thank Dale enough, pictures of our friends and family to treasure forever. Thank you thank you thank you - I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dale to anyone thinking of booking a photographer for their wedding or event!
