"All of our guests have commented on how amazing he was and how friendly he was"

"Darren was amazing on our wedding day we cant recommend him enough. He was so helpful throughout the process from start to finish. His communication was fast at getting back to us and answered any questions nothing was too much. On the day he was everywhere but we didnt notice this until watching some videos back and seeing our preview of photos as he was discreet in getting his shots. All of our guests have commented on how amazing he was and how friendly he was. Our preview photos have been amazing and stunning and we are so excited to get the rest back. We really couldn't have asked for more we made the right decision in picking you. Thank you for capturing our day"

"Not only is he insanely talented, but he is also such a warm, lovely person to have around on a day that can feel overwhelming"

"Our wedding photos are pure magic and we have  only seen the previews, we can’t wait to see the rest — and it’s all thanks to our incredible photographer Darren! From the very first conversation, he made us feel so comfortable and understood exactly the vibe we wanted. On the big day, he was calm, organized, and somehow everywhere at once without ever being intrusive, capturing everything he could!

Darren captured every emotion — the happy tears, the belly laughs, the quiet little in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through our preview photographs it feels like we are reliving the best day of our lives all over again. The lighting, the angles, the editing… absolutely flawless. Every single photo looks like it belongs in a magazine.

Not only is he insanely talented, but he is also such a warm, lovely person to have around on a day that can feel overwhelming. Guests are still talking about how wonderful he was!

If you’re looking for someone who will tell your love story beautifully, authentically, and artistically — this is your photographer. We are beyond grateful for all you did and can’t wait to see the final pictures"

"Every moment is captured perfectly"


"Darren was recommended to me through my sister who works with him (and said how lovely he was!). After looking through his portfolio, I was instantly sold at his work. We had an elopement and then a big party when we got home, so we didn’t do the traditional wedding but the photos make it feel that way. Every moment is captured perfectly. We are so so happy with every photo and our friends/family have all commented how well Darren has done! The pictures came back much quicker than expected too. I couldn’t recommend him enough - a really nice guy too"

"We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Darren! From start to finish, he was absolutely amazing. He made everyone feel so comfortable and captured every special moment so naturally. The photos are perfect — every shot tells a story, and we’ll treasure them forever. Darren went above and beyond to make sure nothing was missed, and his warm, friendly personality made the day even more special. If you want stunning photos and a truly professional, talented photographer, Darren is the one. Highly recommend"

"We couldn't recommend Darren highly enough if you're looking for a wedding photographer! His communication is fantastic and he fit in amazingly on the day. We were blown away by the preview shots (which have been turned around super quickly), the photos are the perfect mix of candid and posed, he captured all the poses we'd asked for, plus ones he'd thought through and recommended based on our venue. Thanks so much Darren"

"Daz has got a knack of capturing incredible little moments on camera"

"We found Daz as a recommended photographer but it turned out he also was booked to do one of our family members wedding, so we’ve now seen him in action and the results of wedding photos from two very different days and we would 100% recommend him to anyone!!

The photos were amazing with some absolutely beautiful candid shots as well as some more formal posed ones of our family and bridal party. We had a band and the photos of everyone dancing and enjoying themselves are some of my absolute favourites. Daz has got a knack of capturing incredible little moments on camera!

Daz put everyone at ease, never seemed to be in the way but was also on hand if you wanted to grab a quick shot of a particular group etc. he took on all our suggestions and added some of his own which has meant we got everything we wanted and some bonus photos that are just incredible.

I honestly can’t recommend DHA enough - thank you so much for capturing our day. From Mr and Mrs Pickering"

"Daz is always smiling and appears to be enjoying every moment he's capturing"

"Daz is an incredibly likeable bloke. When your wanting a photographer ideally there's a friendly connection there beyond just the job at hand. Daz is always smiling and appears to be enjoying every moment he's capturing as much as we are in the moment. Financially it made sense for us to use Daz as he's very well priced but after the fact it's clear he's worth his wait in gold. When your doing anything in life its essential you LOVE what your doing and the passion Daz has for photography oozes from him. I cannot fault him at all. Hopefully a very long busy successful future for you pal. All the best M.O.T  5*.  (P.S The saying goes you can't polish a turd, but Daz did a good job of rolling me in glitter)".

"we didn't even notice he was there"


"We managed to secure a last minute wedding for the may bank holiday. Darren managed to squeeze us in at very short notice which is great. Darren was amazing while taking our photos, we wanted someone to be discreet (minus group/planned photos) we didn't even notice he was there. We booked him for the whole day, and got nearly 600 photos in return, and every single photo is amazing, he captured every moment of our wedding.

have already recommended him to others.

Thank you so much".
