THE BOOKING GUIDE

Well, first off, HUGE congratulations on your engagement! Super exciting time for you both.

I’m David, well my friends call me Dai & by the time most weddings come around my clients call me Dai too.

I live in South Wales with my 2 children Grace & Sophie & my fiancée Chloe. We also have two dogs Ulf & Ruby. I absolutely love the little life I’ve made for myself.

Im hugely creative, & enjoy the usual stuff like movies & most sports. Family is really important to me followed by the pub! I get to travel, have two beautiful kids & am head over heels in love.

Life could not be better.

Here is my personal Instagram should you end up booking me as your photographer & would like to see my wee life through photographs….

ILOVe to PHOTOGRAPh PEOPLE IN LOVE & to TELL THEIR WEDDING DAY STORY.

Here is a little guide to help you with understanding the process of booking your wedding photographer from now to after the wedding day & what happens throughout.

HOW TO CHOOSE & MY STyle/APPROACH

A bride and groom sitting together by a large window, with the bride in a white wedding dress and veil, and the groom in a black tuxedo, sharing an intimate moment.

So choosing your photographer! A difficult one, or is it?

Im also engaged so am in the same boat & I know what will be important to me, the question is what is important to you.

What will matter to me….

Their photographic Style,

The Person (do I vibe/feel relaxed with him or her)

The reliability……Can I rely on this person to go above & beyond & deliver, as this day aint coming around again!

My style & approach to wedding day photography is a simply one. It’s to create your wedding day story with as little fuss as possible all while capturing some beautiful timeless photographic moments between yourselves along with your guests.

I use very little camera equipment on a wedding day, one camera & one lens pretty much. I think less is more & want to be free to capture moments & not recreate with more camera gear & lights. I like to blend in & do so with my minimal set up.

I love film photography & although Im not offering full film(analogue) wedding coverage, my digital editing style of my photographs falls inline with a film like look.

I let things unfold on a wedding day as naturally as possible while giving a helping hand where needed.

As a person I think if you asked my clients how I am/was at their wedding I think most would come back with similar words like, friendly, relaxed, warm, creative & passionate.

Feel free to reach out to any of the couples I’ve tagged on my Instagram grid. They would be happy to chat with you about how I were on their wedding day.

After booking

After booking my services its then a time to get excited! Trust me I get as excited as you! A huge sense of pride comes over each time a couple book.

After signing the contract & selecting your chosen package its a case of sitting back until closer to the wedding. Im always available for you though. You will have my number & you can fire me a msg when ever you wish.

Leading up to your wedding day we would have booked in a pre wedding meeting. Usually round 7-14 days prior to the wedding date. This is where we will discuss things in full. You would have already filled out a small online questionnaire with the timings etc so come the pre wedding video call I’ll have much of the details.

After the meeting its a case of the wedding day itself. I always arrive on time if not before & will be with you for how ever long you have selected. Along with photographing on the wedding day I’m also there to guide & help you through the day itself.

Post wedding, the gallery turn around time can be up to 6 weeks. I will always remain in contact with updates on what stage Im at. To give you an idea galleries during 2025 have ranged between 900 - 1600 photographs.
