– LOVE LETTERS –

FROM OUR PREVIOUS CLIENTS

We absolutely could not have asked for anyone better! From the minute we met I knew that it had to be Daniel West to capture our most important day. His complete professionalism as well as fun spontaneity put us both at ease and all of our fears of being photographed evaporated instantly.

Thank you for taking us out of our comfort zones as well, just because it was so much fun to do!

The photographs as well as the engagement photos have been absolutely incredible and of world class standard.

Chris & Kelly

Daniel, I knew finding a photographer was going to be difficult for me, because as you heard in the speeches and from me, I am very particular about my photos. With a looming National truck strike, you woke up at 2am and you and your team moved heaven and earth to get to me even earlier than you needed to! Without any sleep you immediately got to work on arrival. When my dress broke causing a significant delay, I was extremely stressed but you guys were great in calming me down and giving the direction needed to get the shots I wanted. You were my “hype man” and made us so comfortable, especially my husband who hates taking pictures. I cannot wait to see what you captured! Thank you for everything.

Megan & Spae

So basically, our wedding wouldn’t have been the best weekend of our lives without Daniel being part of it.
Daniel, having you by our side organising it all through viruses and rain was just the best ever, and the memories you helped us create were genuinely priceless.
From the pre-wedding shoot to the actual day, he was just the best. He’s creative, understanding, patient and exceptionally talented. We’re just over the moon happy with his vision and delivery.
Thank you, Daniel!

We appreciate you to the moon and back!

Greg and Desiree

Daniel is not just a photographer, he is an artist! We are completely overjoyed with our wedding photo album and just cannot stop looking at them.

Daniel captures stunning compositions making the absolute best of the setting, and also the stolen moments between loved ones and families which are so precious on a wedding day.

We will be looking at these photos for the rest of our lives and cannot imagine ever tiring of them!

Thank you so much Daniel for capturing our day with your wonderful images.

George & Hannah

Daniel did a phenomenal job.

He didn’t just come to perform his duties and then leave.

He was invested in every moment.
Even as my wife and I look through our album a couple years later, the work Daniel has done for us is still far higher quality than some other photos we have seen.

That’s actually what my wife and I wanted.
To look back on our day and remember everything as if it happened yesterday.

Andrew & Amy

We only have praises to sing about Daniel, besides his professional and easy manner, he was well prepared, went over and above what we expected and delivered some of the most beautiful photos (in record time!). His skills with low light settings and endless energy ensured he caught every special moment.

We can only be grateful to have been in such good hands on our special day, not to mention his great personality that added some much needed calm and structure.

Excellent work and we sincerely recommend his services.

Russell & Simone

– You won’t have to worry about your photography –

Your day only happens once, and so you deserve to be surrounded by people who absolutely LOVE what they do,
and are obsessed and dedicated to deliver the best.
