I cannot recommend Dave enough. From the minute that we booked him he was attentive & communicated well. The wedding day went amazingly and I cannot wait to see the footage that Dave captured of our special day. Thank you so much again, love the new Mr & Mrs Brophy.

Dave and his team are simply incredible! Sent me some previews of our wedding the morning after which we adore, we can’t wait for the rest. But not just that, they were so helpful and guided us through everything and went above and beyond with everything we asked. Felt like they were part of the guests as they were so friendly and welcoming. Can’t wait to see all the photos and our wedding video. Will be recommending to all our friends and family getting married!

We cant thank Dave enough for the amazing service we got on our wedding day, he made me feel at ease throughout due to the weather not been on our side in the morning, he helped with timings, gathered everyone and made sure they was where they was supposed to be. He got all the photographs we had spoke about before the day of what we would like. From the moment he walked in it was like we knew him even helping on a video call with a suppliers van that wouldnt unlock, so I didnt have to worry about it. He also brought along his daughter poppy who was originally only helping out for a couple of hours but due to the other photographer needing medical assistance poppy stayed untill the very end, took lots of amazing photos and carried around Daves equipment for him all day. The preview photos we have recieved are amazing and we cant wait to see the rest along with the video footage. Thank you very much we would definalty recommend to anyone looking for a photographer to capture there special day.

Dave was AMAZING. We couldn't recommend him enough. He was professional, organised and made the planning process very easy. On the day, he blended into the background while capturing hundreds of beautiful moments. He was knowledgable and experienced to help guide us through the day and capture all the special moments. He provided a preview of photographs 24 hours after our wedding day. Thank you for capturing our special day!

Fantastic experience with Dave from start to finish. Very easy to book, easy to set up meetings with in advance of our wedding day. Dave was fantastic on the day - very much in the background and never in the way, yet also always in the right place to capture every moment we’d have wanted him to. Thank you very much!!

Don’t look any further than Dave Spink photography. I found him by accident and I’m so glad I did. He’s so good at organising everyone for the group pics which meant guests wasn’t stood around for ages like other weddings I’ve been to. And then when I saw the photos he’s taken, I didn’t know he was there. 100% recommend and even 3 of my guests asked for his details for their weddings . Such a lovely bloke too.

We’ve recently had Dave as our videographer for our wedding and I’m so glad I chose him, on the day he arrived he just got on with it amongst all the chaos he dressed that well he looked like a wedding guest! He made my very nervous now husband feel really at ease about being on camera, as he said it looked like channel 4 news when he walked into the ceremony barn. Dave laughed with him, talked him through the day and worked incredibly well with our photographer. It was a pleasure to have Dave at our wedding he just fit in and definitely made our day better for having him.

I’m so glad I booked Dave for our wedding photos, he was amazing in both the lead up to the day and on the day itself. After booking with Dave we were given access to a portal so we could provide all the details and preferences in our own time, there was no pressure or rush to do this so gave us time to think about what we wanted to capture. We had a face time call with Dave the week before to go through the finer details and ensure everything was set. On the Day, Dave arrived and brought a sense of calm and ease, it really made a difference to the morning, at some points I didn’t even know he was there but he quietly captured shots of my dress, my accessories and of us all getting ready without getting in the way or interrupting anything. Throughout the ceremony and drinks reception he was very discreet and when it came to the group photos he was so organised and brilliant and getting family and guests where they needed to be. He also ensured we didn’t miss out on spending time with our guests and broke our photo sessions down in to smaller manageable sessions so it didn’t feel too overwhelming or like we were being forced to smile and pose for ages. In addition to all of this Dave is absolutely lovely and amazing at what he does, the preview of pictures that he has sent are beautiful and I can’t wait to receive the full set. I highly recommend Dave Spink Photography.

Dave, where do we even begin?! THANK YOU!! From the moment we decided we were going to have a wedding video, booking you was the best idea! Your communication was excellent, nothing seemed to be too much to ask - total peace of mind throughout, the meeting prior to the wedding was reassuring and you put us at complete ease! The wedding day - you worked so well with our photographers Ben & River, it was almost like the 3 of you came as a package! I would highly recommend the services of Dave Spink - he is an excellent fella, who is very talented at what he does! Mr & Mrs Kelly - Hazlewood Castle 05.06.2026.

Our commitment to your wedding

Your wedding day should feel like your wedding, not a photoshoot. My job is to capture the story as it unfolds,
with calm guidance when you need it, and space to simply enjoy your people.

Real moments, beautifully told

The reactions, the hugs, the nerves, the happy tears. The moment your dad sees you in your dress, the walk down the aisle,
the first kiss, the speeches and the dancefloor energy. These are the memories that matter, and we capture them naturally.

Relaxed portraits without losing your day

We will create a handful of stunning portraits, quickly and calmly, without keeping you away from your guests for hours.
Think: a short walk, flattering light, simple direction, and then you are back to the celebrations.

What if I don’t like my photo being taken?

You are not alone. Most couples tell me this. I will guide you step by step so you never feel awkward or “posed”.
We will keep it easy, keep it natural, and focus on real connection so your photos look like you.

See recent weddings

The best way to know if we are the right fit is to look through full wedding stories. You will see how we cover the day,
the balance of documentary moments and gentle direction, and the kind of images you can expect.

We create wedding photography and film that will still feel special long after the cake is eaten.
If you want calm, natural coverage with beautiful portraits and a relaxed experience, get in touch and we will check your date.
