Nelson Photography

We had David take photos for our wedding in Feb 2023. David was great, he was on time, professional, and took fantastic photos. He was excellent at capturing people in the moment, made my wife and I feel comfortable and look better than we do in reality. He gave the photos back to us very quickly and they are all excellent quality. Highly recommend.

I thought choosing a photographer was going to be a difficult process but when I Dave we felt really comfortable and confident that he understood what we wanted and would fit in on our day, Especially that he and his assistant were happy to photograph our two Rottweiler's in our wedding photos. We are extremely happy with the photos he took and produced of our day, he has captured everything we could have wished for about the day and was there from start to finish which was great, I had several of my guests comment on him, that he was working really hard and the length of time he spent with us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend David as a wedding photographer to any of my friends and family.

We came across David's website and loved the photos. Particularly his talent with landscape photography, as we were having an outdoor wedding. After getting in contact by email (we're based in Australia), he suggested a skype chat to discuss the wedding and see if we thought he would be the right fit. From that point on we knew we had the right photographer for us! He was amazing. Throughout all the organising process, nothing was ever a drama, he had helpful suggestions and was always prompt replying to emails. Then on the day, he was everywhere, doing everything, while still being relaxed and wonderful with us and all our guests (they all said how great our photographer had been!). The photographs have come out better than we could ever have hoped, he captured so many special moments, both of us and all our guests. We would highly recommend David to anyone and we could't have wished for someone better to capture our special day!

Choosing Dave was one of the easiest decisions of our wedding - he is flexible, has a great attitude, produces great photos and is extremely affordable! David was amazing to work with, especially planning our wedding from Christchurch. He was happy to organise details over email and through Skype. I loved the pre-wedding photo shoot - it was a good opportunity to meet properly, get comfortable in front of the camera and get a taste for Dave's great work. Dave has a really relaxed, yet professional approach to photography and has a talent of making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Dave was more than happy to help with and work to our timeline. We did our group photos before the ceremony and he also talked us into sneaking away from our reception for sunset photos on the rocks at Tahuna, which gave us some of our favourite and most beautiful photos - as well as some special time to ourselves. This was one of the highlights of the day for us. All our guests also loved Dave's attitude and commented on how chilled out he was and happy to go a long with whatever we were wanting to do. The fact that there was no time limit on how long Dave was willing to stay was amazing, on an extremely busy day we didn't have to worry about getting all the photos we wanted in a limited time. Thanks so much for all your hard work and for capturing our special day to look back on forever :o)

We were planning our Nelson wedding from Dunedin and were having trouble finding a photographer over the internet. When looking for a photographer for our wedding, we really wanted someone who could really capture the special moments between the two of us. After reading Davids website and how he structured the wedding day and what was included in his wedding package we were convinced. This was confirmed when we met David and we knew straight away we wanted David as our photographer and knew he would be able to capture our day perfectly. David is an incredibly hard working photographer who is always trying to capture that special moment and he does an outstanding job. He was very professional and exceptionally easy to work with, especially during the planning stages which were all done via emails. David provided us with a pre-wedding shoot to get us more comfortable in front of the camera as well as attending our ceremony rehearsal. We couldnt have asked for someone more dedicated and extremely talented. He is great with direction and his assistant Lasma is also a very talented photographer. We were more than happy with our wedding photos and everyone we have shown cannot believe how amazing they are and really impressed with the different angles that were taken to get the perfect shot. We would highly recommend David to anyone and we cannot thank him more for what he achieved for our wedding.
