About Me

“Photography that feels as real as the day itself.”

Hello — I’m David (yes, you can call me Dave)

Based in the beautiful village of Shrewton near Salisbury, Wiltshire, I’m a wedding photographer who believes your day should be lived — not staged. My style? Natural, relaxed and story-driven. I’m all about real moments, honest emotion, and the subtle details that make your day uniquely yours.

My Journey

After a long and distinguished career in the British Army I found that whether I was in uniform or behind a camera, it always came down to the same fundamentals: people and light. I travelled and saw incredible places, faced pressure, and learned how to prepare for anything. When I turned to weddings, I brought that mindset with me — calm under pressure, fully prepared, and always ready to capture whatever the day brings.

Why Service Matters

Your wedding photographs are one of the few keepsakes you’ll have long after the day is done. That’s why I go the extra mile — whether that’s helping you feel at ease in front of the camera, sharing my experience, or just being the calm presence when things get hectic. You’re not just hiring a photographer: you’re securing someone who cares about your day as much as you do.
