Honestly cannot rate Doug enough - he was like a guest! Very understanding but also, on it so that we didn’t miss the perfect shot. Doug was totally chill even with me being a stress head - he made us all feel relaxed and easy! It was honestly like having another guest there. It was also such a laugh which is SO important on your wedding day. Doug se

From the moment we met Doug, he made us feel so at ease. He was constantly making us laugh and joke around, which made having our pictures taken feel so natural and relaxed. He was so easy going, chilled and flexible with us, and anything we wanted picture-wise, he made happen. Multiple times throughout the day, he came over to check that we had got all the pictures we wanted and made sure we hadn’t forgotten anything. He also directed us so well and knew exactly how to position us, which made everything so easy, especially when we had no idea what we were doing! I would 10000% recommend Doug for ANY event. He was so relaxed, professional and genuinely just such a lovely person to have around on our wedding day. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture such a special day for us. The sample pictures we’ve received so far are

Doug was fantastic, I'm so glad we found him. Communication before the event was brilliant, putting us at ease before the big day and gathering as much info about what we would like and the order of our day to make sure it all ran smoothly. Many guests commented on how good he was, capturing all the best bits and adding lots of fun! Thank you again for being part of our day.
