Perfectly captured day

From day 0 to the very end, and even way past the time Dash was supposed to be for, we supported throughout. A quick message away and all our questions were answered. Moreover, they both were willing to talk to us in person for clearer communication. It made the experience more personal.

To ease our nerves a pre-wedding photoshoot was included, where we got to break the ice in front of the camera whilst wearing our casuals. Trust me, with their friendliness and guidance, you forgot the camera was even there.

Both candid shots and beautiful staged photographs were taken, exactly how I would have imagined... The lighting and atmosphere was perfect! They were not just the photos I wanted but ones I couldn't even imagine, breathtaking!

The price is very valid for what you get, that including not one but two photographers each with their own style.

The style of photos were entirely up to what we wanted. The photography staged sessions were when we wanted. Their flexibility was commendable.

All you have to do is see DASH's portfolio, or the photos I attached. The variety, passion for their job, and talent is visible.

So friendly and captured the heart of the day

Dash and his daughter Katie are both so lovely! They were both very attentive and friendly towards both the bridal and groom party. Dash would inform me what ideas and photos he wanted to get, all amazing, and he would talk everyone through each set up (even getting us girls to jump over a sofa haha)
Both Dash and Katie had great communication and made both myself and my now husband, feel very at ease.
We would highly recommend Dash as a wedding photographer, such a great guy and we are very much looking forward to seeing the final photos!!

Thank you so much for capturing our special day!!

Super friendly, professional, and affordable!

Had my wedding exactly a week ago today, and lovely Dash was our photographer. We had a few unusual requests, as our wedding had a few extra complications, and covered them on our initial call. He was super accommodating and understood very well about the changing timings on an actual wedding day and how to work around them and suggest beautiful alternatives. He has already sent us our private gallery with all our photos! They are lovely and there are lots of them, I can't believe that he managed to work so fast on them too. Highly recommend :)

Loved the service provided!

We ordered the very minimal package as we wanted to spend time with our family. Dash and his apprentice made us feel very comfortable and we had fun along the way. The photos were just beautiful and turned out better than expected.
Communication was perfect leading up to the wedding and during the photographs. Can't thank you both enough and so happy we chose you to capture our special day ❤️

Couldn't have asked for more

Beendan was the perfect professional from start to finish.
We hired him for our small and unique, 1920s themed wedding and he got the style and the theme absolutely spot on. We couldn't have asked for more, especially at such a reasonable price.
Would highly recommend Dash

Absolutely incredible

I can't recommend dash photography enough. Both dash (brendan) and his daughter were there to photograph our wedding day an it was genuinely incredible. I am not one to want a photograph taken, its very confronting for me, but I have never in my life had 2 such amazing people make me feel more comfortable and at ease. From start to finish I was guided in every way possible. I have slight mobility issues and was always asked if anything was too much or if I needed a break. Dash is a genuine and kind man and his daughter was just fantastic. Both kind, caring and concientious all the way through.
We've also received our photos within 1 week! The photos are just amazing. Book them now. You will not be disappointed! Thankyou so so much to you both!!
