And here we are in some snap shots to put faces to names…David “beside the seaside, beside the sea” (home town), one of our wonderful children, and two of three dogs. Windswept Joanna at London’s Southbank (a favourite place) and then in fancy dress as Uma Thurman looking for Bill (loves film), and our recent little google profile pic. We dress nice and smart for your wedding though! Only things missing are photos of frothy cappuccinos and views of Italy and France…

“Amazing Wedding Photographers!”
After trawling through dozens of photographers for our wedding, we chose David and Joanna and were not disappointed. We were attracted by their style and the bonus of having two photographers to ensure all angles were covered. We booked David and Joanna immediately after our first phone call enquiry – there was no need to keep looking. David’s humour as well as knowledge and professionalism made us feel at ease. We felt that David’s relaxed and humorous personality suited our personalities and that of our family and friends. We wanted a relaxed, family atmosphere and felt David and Joanna would suit that perfectly. We had an amazing engagement shoot at Alexander Palace. David gave us valuable tips for taking the perfect shot which we used on our wedding day. The photos were beautiful! Communication with David and Joanna was excellent. We had a call with David before the wedding to discuss all details of the day including the schedule and any specific shots we wanted. David brought up things about the day that we hadn’t even considered which helped us to make sure our day ran smoothly (we’ve never planned a wedding before so it was great to get insight from someone who has been to so many!). On the wedding day, David and Joanna didn’t disappoint. They were professional, timely and brought their humour and friendly personalities. When appropriate e.g. during the service, David and Joanna were discreet and nonintrusive. When needed, David and Joanna did a great job of rounding up family and directing group shots. We’ve seen some preview shots and are they are beautiful! We can’t wait to see the others. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend David and Joanna! Thank you for helping to make our day special and to run smoothly!

Pictures blew our mind!”
For other couples waiting for their wedding ceremony out there, we think we did the “hard job” of researching photographers for you. Just go straight to the website and message Joanna and David. Thank you so much both of you for your prompt replies from the beginning to considerate phone calls to build up to what was simply a dream come true! Your dedication, enthusiasm, creativity, attention to detail, knowledge of the area around the ceremony, stamina, patience seen in each of the thousand pictures blew our mind away. The ones you chose to put effects into were perfect! We particularly loved the way you both had ideas around the venue/surroundings and took turns to take leads – please keep this up the photos say the same! Thank you for all your hard work we really appreciate them and shame we can’t give anything more than 5 out of 5.

“Exceptional photographers – look no further”
David and Joanna are not only two very thoughtful and lovely people, but they are exceptionally talented photographers. My wife and I are extremely pleased that we opted for Big Day Weddings, after an exhaustive search for the perfect photographers. Being an admittedly fussy person when it comes to anything like art and photography I can honestly say I was blown away by the photos they took. They even managed to get a photo of my uncle smiling! That is praise indeed. My wife and I will always treasure the photos they took – the beautifully composed ones of us taken after the ceremony, the black and white ones they took in the service (as well as colour), and the family and friend group shots. We could not be more pleased. Look no further.

Dear David & Joanna
From the start David and Joanna were absolutely brilliant. We arranged an engagement shoot to meet David and try to shake off some of our pre-wedding photoshoot jitters… we honestly couldn’t have felt more comfortable on both the engagement shoot and our wedding day. David and Joanna really went out of their way to support and advise us and helped us relax into the experience. We have so many beautiful shots – we really are spoilt for choice! I was so nervous about the pictures but they are just stunning. David and Joanna capture both posed and natural shots between them which makes for a gorgeous collection to remember your special day. I have, and will continue to, recommend them to family and friends as they just seem to have the golden touch!! We have had so so many compliments on our photos and to make it all even better David sent them over to us really quickly. Flawless! To David and Joanna: We’re so lucky to have found you and I know many more brides and grooms will continue to benefit from your talent and passion!!! Thanks so so much for everything x

“Great and fun photographers!”
Where do we start? Thank you so so much! You’ve captured our day beautifully! Going through the photos have helped us re-live it all over again! Every single photo is shot to perfection, great angles and extremely clear with great colour! We loved all the special effects and filters you’ve put on too, especially the one with Kym “showering” herself! 🙂 You have captured all the special moments, especially the ones that went very quickly – such as our dip towards the end of the first dance (as we couldn’t hold that position for long! 🙂 We absolutely loved working with you both, you’ve made us feel at ease behind the camera, right from the moment we did our engagement shot. It really helped us relax during the day. David you have a great way with making people laugh and have fun! We had many comments from our guests on what “cool” and “fun” photographers we had at our wedding. It was great to see everyone else was having a great time with us too. Thank you again! We’ve already recommended you on to a couple that are looking for great photographers at their wedding!

Hi David & Joanna,
Thank you for the pictures, they are beyond amazing and we are quite frankly struggling to choose a selection. We will be visiting Chris’ family today to hopefully get some help but we would like to thank you both for being so damn fabulous and capturing such amazing memories. You both were amazing to work with and we both really enjoyed your company. We will be in touch shortly to discuss the album options.
