Dave was fantastic and did Ana absolutely amazing job. We loved our photos and were grateful that he was available days before he was meant to photograph our wedding.

Dave has been a delight to work with from the start! We hired him to photograph our wedding ceremony over the lockdown and we had to postpone it to accommodate the guests from Melbourne. He was quick to move dates around, and even though we didn't meet prior to the wedding but he made us feel very at ease on the day - and the photos turned out amazing as well! Thanks Dave for being there to record such a momentous milestone in our lives, we will treasure each photo!
