About

Hello! I’m Dave, as you probably already guessed, an easy-going wedding and family photographer based in Kimberley, Nottingham.

Getting to spend a day with a couple on one of the best days of their lives is amazing, seeing all the in between and behind the scenes moments that no-one else does. I love spending time with couples, coming away feeling like I’ve made a couple of new friends and absolutely buzzing from a super happy fun day.

I equally love family photo shoots. It’s an honour to be entrusted to capture families and all whilst chatting, playing and romping around outside. So much fun! Having recently become a dad, I appreciate more than ever what it means to have photographs of our little family that our daughter can look back on in years to come.

I also do one-to-one and small group photo lessons for beginners. If you’re interested in working out how to use all those baffling settings on your digital camera so you can take great photos, get in touch!

I’m a total tea-head turning tea geek. My current favourites are from Bird & Blend, I have over 20 flavours! Tea also goes wonderfully well with cake.

Before my photographer days, I was a primary school teacher. I love working with kids, but I loved photography more. So, I enjoy combining the two at kid-friendly weddings or on family photoshoots. My days in schools mean I am fully versed in ‘kid’. I’ll always make sure they are having fun, but you can bet I’m also going to have a great time!  

Outside of photography, I love surfing and paddle boarding, any day in Cornwall is my perfect day. I recently became a dad and am loving being able to spend lots of time with my daughter, she’s already such a legend, obviously I’m biased! 

I am loving being a wedding photographer. I particularly enjoy meeting so many different couples and seeing them in their element on their wedding day.

I love being on (and in) the water. Be it lake, river or sea, water is my happy place. Locally, my favourite spot is Colwick Park for messing around on my paddle board.

My perfect day is spending a day out on the water with great friends before curling up in front of Gogglebox.

I love a good garden centre and will easily spend far too much money on plants. Oops!

My must-see Christmas film is Elf (I have never seen Die Hard so I couldn’t possibly comment on whether it’s a Christmas film or not).
