Hello, Hola, Bonjour
I’m David — a multi-award-winning wedding photographer based in Lancashire, passionate about capturing authentic weddings across the UK and anywhere in the world your wedding takes you.
As a husband, father of two, and proud pet parent to a dog and two cats, I bring a personal, grounded and dedicated approach to my work. I’ve been a photographer for 24 years (15 of those as a wedding photographer) and telling stories runs through my veins. I’m also a huge music lover, film buff, and foodie (check out my Dave Shoots Food website for my other creative outlet).
A Wedding Photographer Who Tells Your Story
I love weddings — the laughter, the tears, the energy, and the little moments you don’t even notice at the time. Every couple’s day is different, and my job is to capture it all as it unfolds.
Photography runs in my family — I’m a third-generation photographer and have been specialising in weddings since 2010. My style is documentary and storytelling-led: no forced poses, no staged smiles, just real moments that mean something.
What makes me different? I don’t hang back. I’m in the thick of it, capturing the big moments and the small ones that make your day unique. The result is a gallery that tells your story honestly and beautifully — a record you’ll treasure forever.
The image on the left shows me speaking at Rise Up, a three-day photography event in Val Thorens in the French Alps. The quote comes from my daughter when she got her new shoes really muddy — she was just seven at the time, but her words perfectly captured the sentiment. It’s now my motto for life.
