2019 // What a year!

Happy Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
It’s that time of year again where everyone reflects on the past year and post up a heck load of images.
Here are a few handfuls from all of the beautiful weddings I have had a pleasure to be a part of this year.
I can’t say this enough, I am incredibly thankful, grateful and honoured to be chosen amongst all of the other amazing photographers out there.
We all realise in this weird wedding world, that we are in the service industry, and I am here to do everything I can to help your wedding run smoothly and without a hitch!
From the point that you send me an email, with all the questions, concerns and headfucks that come with wedding planning (most people only do it once!) I aim to help you as much as I can, even if you don’t end up booking me.
If you need recommendations, advice on lighting, timings, locations, I’m here with now 7 years and 250 weddings of experience. #humblebrag – it’s my blog – it’s allowed, ha!
I hope you like the following images, I’m incredibly proud of them.
‘Dale was the perfect photographer to have at our wedding. From the moment I reached out to him, he was so helpful, so easy to communicate with, extremely responsive…and not in an over-the-top kind of way either. He was in touch when he needed to be, and has a great website that includes a form to fill in with all the main details/group shots you want on the day.
We chose to work with him because of his candid shots and and the awesome couple photos we had seen on Instagram (go and check it out if you haven’t seen it already!)
He was an absolute pleasure to have at the wedding on the day, fitting in nicely and getting on easily with all our guests. We really enjoyed having him around in the bridal suite as we got ready too! After the ceremony he took us up to a derelict farm to take some cool & edgy couple photos and they have turned out beautifully. We couldn’t be happier! He also sent us a sneak peek of the wedding photos a couple of days after the wedding which was a lovely treat too.
We couldn’t recommend Dale enough!’
– Jess + Ste
‘Dale was absolutely incredible. He was everything we were looking for in a photographer – patient, kind, great fun and with great eye for detail. I was so nervous about having my photo taken all day and would have been happy with just one photo I could put in a frame but we have hundreds that we love. I know it’s clichéd but I can’t recommend Dale highly enough. It was a real privilege to have such a talented photographer capture our wedding day.’
– Teri + Laurence
‘WOW! Unbelievable pictures, thank you so much. I absolutely love them! So many special moments captured. We will treasure these for years to come.’
‘We’ve just had a look through and we LOVE them! Stunning! We can’t stop smiling, takes us back to the day. Love how you’ve captured little moments with our guests too, we would’ve missed those if you weren’t around. Ahh we can’t thank you enough, we’re so happy!’
‘They are amazing pictures and so beautifully natural. We love them all. Thank you for capturing all of the magical moments (we especially love the ones of Grayson snatching the rings!) and for being such a great help on the day. We are so very grateful.’
‘Thank you SO much for the photos, we love them and it was such a pleasure to have you capture our special day. We barely even noticed you were there (…that’s a compliment!).’
‘We sat and went through the pictures on Tuesday, they are beautiful. They literally tell the story of the day perfectly! I cant wait to show everyone.’
‘Thanks again for capturing our day so perfectly, we are in love with the photos and have started sharing with family who absolutely love them too. Thanks you so much – hope the rest of your wedding season is going really well!’
‘Thank you so much  We love the photos and had a great evening looking at them all. I had to have a cocktail before hand as I was so nervous… but I love how you captured the atmosphere of the day so well and am really happy with the posed shots too! Looking forward to having another look through tonight, and then will be sharing them with all the guests :)’
‘Thank you very very much!!!
We have had the loveliest of evenings looking through them all. You have captured some amazing moments and the pictures tell the story of the day perfectly. We are excited to share now with our parents (who are particular fans of our wedding!)
The speed at which you’ve prepared them is phenomenal – it’s so nice to have them so fast.’
‘Thank you Dale these are perfect! So amazing re-living the day ‘
‘WOW. We are overwhelmed by how insanely gorgeous the photos are! Thank you so much! You are so talented. Re-living the day through the photos was lovely, tears were shed (by Vicki, several times).’
‘Dale – thank you SO MUCH. We absolutely love these. Full of so much joy and colour which is exactly how we remember the day. We have so many favourites but particularly love the ones you’ve captured of my mum and the kids throughout the day. And the registry office ones are magic.’
‘Thank you so much Dale! They are amazing, we can’t believe how much they capture every part of the day! And you’ve even managed to get some where we both look good, a rare occurrence!!
Will definitely be letting everyone know about you on social media and will fill out the google review too.
Thanks again, you had a tough job taking photos of two people that hate how they look in all photos, but you’ve even managed to convince us we can take a good one (sometimes!!)’
‘We have just sat down and gone through the photo’s and cannot thank you enough for capturing the day so perfectly. The photo’s are incredible and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.
We will be sure to send the link round, complete a review and share away once we can tear our eyes away from them!
A heartfelt thank you from a very happy couple of newlyweds.’
‘Brad and I are so made up the photos thank you :-).
They are so cool we cant get over it , you really have blow us away. It was such a small wedding but you really have captured really amazing photos. Thank you.’
