I've lost count of how many times I've shot with Dave now and even since my last reference 5 months ago I think we've shot at least another 2 maybe 3 times.

Having just returned from a Summers Abroad trip to Croatia where the dream team Dave and Gary Mac were both booked on. I was so happy when I knew these 2 were teamed up on the trip. There's something about when the 4 of us get together including my partner in crime Rachelle Summers. We just seem to effortlessly create magic together.

Dave is one of THEE nicest men I've had the pleasure of getting to know whilst working with him. It never does feel like work though. Dave's so chilled and easy going, but because of the rapport we've now built up it doesn't take much to get stunning images.

I'd work with Dave any day, every day if I could. I haven't got one bad word I could ever say about him.

Thanks for being you Dave and until next time take care :)

Just got back from another great shoot with this one!

We spent the day shooting out on location with both our partners in crime, Gary and Tillie. The four of us had such an amazing day out, the sun was shining and we have got some stunning images :)

I honestly can't recommend Dave enough, he's one of my favourite people to work with and can't wait to see him in Croatia in a couple of weeks :D

Dave is one of my favourite people to work with. Such a gentleman whom is kind, and someone I consider to be a friend after knowing him for several years now.

I never feel worried/anxious or stressed when working with Dave as he always worked at a relaxed pace and doesn't like to over-shoot a set. It feels effortless when working together to create beautiful images and I enjoy a catch up during the shoot too.

When working with Dave you can be assured he will be: punctual, friendly, respectful, professional, relaxed, kind and lovely to be around.

Always look forward to seeing you again,

Had a wonderful time shooting with Dave during my miniature tour up NORTH.

We created a mix of fashion, boudoir goodness and some arty nude.

He is such a pleasure to work with, excellent dry sense of humour as always and we get some beautiful, creative photos together. 10000% recommended by me and can't wait to work with him again next year :)

Highly recommended as always

Another fantastic day spent with this one!

He collected me from Shotton as usual (its becoming a bit of a tradition when I'm in the area - albeit the traffic and darn building works got in the way of our usual McDonalds brekkie haha!!) and we had a good ol' catch up on the way to the studio :D

The shoot itself was as expected, brilliant! It's always good fun spending the day with Dave and his photography partner in crime, Gary. The three of us have had lots of shoots/adventures now both in studios and out on location, and every one has been an absolute hoot :)

As usual we got some epic images and drank a bucket load of tea each throughout the day haha! I genuinely love being in Dave's company and without a shadow of a doubt recommend him!

I will hopefully see him before, but if not I look forward to having him on my Summers Abroad photographic holiday to Croatia next year, which I'm over the moon to have him on :D

Had another lovely shoot with Dave on my way up to Scotland. What a superstar he is. Dave is always an absolute joy to shoot with and just generally chat to. I really could keep waxing lyrical as he is one of my favourite pepole to shoot with.

I hope there will be many more shoots in the future, and perhaps i can entice him to come of my Cyprus trip!

Thanks for being ace Dave - here's to the next time :)

I have just spent a superfantasticallyduper fun packed four days with Dave on the second leg of one of the luxury All- Inclusive trips we run, this time to Fuerteventura!

We had quite a lot of deliciously different locations to fit into each of the days (making the most of the sunrise and sunsets/ cooler parts of the days) but everyone got really involved- working together and having a real laugh in the social times too- oh, and the images created are just BRILLIANT!!

I'm so glad Dave booked on. He was so supportive and encouraging throughout the trip, it wouldn't have been the same without you!!

I really hope Dave can join us again on a future trip abroad, thank you very very much! :)

Dave is one of my favourite people ever!

I got to work with him again on my PurePreston studio weekend, and he was also kind enough to let me stay with him for the weekend too.

I've worked with him for years so he is more of a friend than a photographer now, so I should of known that we would have an absolute hoot over the weekend. There were so many laughs (I even got a stitch from laughing haha!!) and lots of nattering, then lots of epic images when we shot together at the studio.

It's a genuine pleasure being in his company and can't wait to work with him again next month :D

Oh the glorious man that is Dave, what can I say about you my dear!

Well I had the stupendous pleasure of working with Dave on my duo trip arranged and ran by Artemis Fauna on her Luxury All Inclusive Photographic Fuerteventura trip abroad assisted by IainT.

Absolutely fantastic to be back in the saddle shooting with Dave after so long, and he has only gotten better both with his photography and being a total wordsmith which I’m sure we all know he is. I was greeted with such a big bear hug from the gentle giant it was like no time had passed at all!

I’m afraid dear ole Dave must have had a terrible time whilst shooting with me as I spent the entire time running around losing my clothes and the poor man had to run after me :P

I always feel a bit star struck after seeing Dave as he has such an incredible and insightful mind, seriously the most shwarve and charismatic gent you could ever hope to meet, I could honestly sit for hours (think I did!) listening to Dave’s philosophical thoughts and stories. What a caring person, nothing was ever too much trouble for him and he was always happy to indulge in my weird and wonderful ideas and put his own spin on them. It must be said that he will always suffer for his art whether it be on his knees on horrible gravel, climbing through an uneven ship, or getting caught in a landslide of sand, a true marvel!

The amount of marvellous images I saw on the back of the camera from each and every set was fantastic, couldn’t believe it was me half the time :)

So I suppose I still recommend this brilliant man, and very highly too! Thank you so much for an epic 4 days, and I do hope to be seeing you again before too long.

Dave is someone who is extremely respectful and has an amazing personality, giving fabulous feedback and using the scenes beautifully!

He made me giggle throughout, with his brilliant sense of humour and the images look absolutely stunning ♥

I can't recommend this awesome photographer enough, he has a way around the camera that is utterly fantastic and is a joy to work with :)

I've known Dave a while now and this weekend had the pleasure of him attending a couple of shoots that i was hosting. Always great to chat with and always have good ideas and produces excellent images portraying the models in the best way. Very respectful of the models and others. Highly recommended and look forward to next time. Thanks, Simon

I got to work with the lovely Dave once again on my latest tour. Himself and his wife were also kind enough to put me up (or put up with me) for a few days while I was in the area which was hugely appreciated (and great fun!) :D

I can only echo all my previous comments really. Dave is one of the good guys- no doubting that. Nothing is too much trouble, he goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy/ comfortable and safe. A true gentleman.

I can't wait to work with Dave again in a few weeks on my third luxury trip abroad, it's going to be a blast. Thank you, Dave :) :)

It has always been great fun working with Dave! :D We've shot together a couple of times before our latest encounter and seem to bounce off each other effortlessly! Our most recent time working together was actually on the 2017 Bala Beauties event which was our first time at working together on location (outdoors) which was exciting. :D Dave's group were my second group of the day and I was familiar with most faces within the group so of course it was laughs and banter all-round! It has to be said however that Dave is uber awesome with his camera out in the wilderness! Goodness knows what I was doing at the time but he caught some absolutely beautiful angles of this strechted-out Keira-bird up a tree! Sprawled, paddling... you name it! Location work comes with undoubtedly more challenges than an environment where the light/weather is all controlled but this chap nailed it! And was totally ready to challenge mother nature and her dull/rainy ways... balancing that flash like a boss in what bleak natural light we did have. That will show you missus grey-skies-in-summer!!!

I actually saw Dave the best part of a year before the event as he came to mine for a home shoot and we were chatting about it then: he was positively enthused about all the wonderful things there were for models o climb so I was on a hype way before the day! :D Dave is great fun both one to one and in a group... There is never a shortage of giggles and chin-wagging; he's such an easy person for a model to get on with/gel creatively and will encourage models to offer their creative thoughts as well on a shoot. Upbeat, totally professional but a barrel of laughs at the same time - there you have it! :D

Thank you ever so much Dave - and apologies for my stupid losing track of things with getting a reference to you! You're awesome and I always look forward to working together again!

I had the pleasure of shooting with Dave at the Bala beauties event which I was asked to step in for last minute. Dave was lovely to shoot with, super pleasant and respectful. I've long been keen on Dave's work and so I look forward to seeing more edits from what was an unforgettable day

Thanks again Dave

I got the pleasure of working with Dave twice last week, once on a full day shoot 1-2-1 and then the next day shooting with him on the Bala Beauties event :)

Dave is such fun to be around, and there is always such a nice relaxed atmosphere on shoots with him!

He looked after me extremely well at Bala too, as the weather really was dreadful but he made sure that I didn't get too cold and kept brining my clothes back to me in between sets etc :)

He has just booked onto my Summers Abroad Photographic holiday next year and I really can't wait to host him, I know he is going to be a great addition to the group and it's going to be so much fun :D

Highly recommended by me!

Integra Fairbrook

I had a lovely shoot yesterday with Dave, it was great to work with him again.

We shot a mix of studio and location nude (at a super secret location *haha), at a very relaxed pace. Dave was completely open to my ideas, and even supplied me with copious amounts of coffee :)

Definitely won't be leaving it so long between shoots agin!

What a lovely weekend shooting with Dave!

Always full of ideas, bubbly and organised. Dave and his lovely wife were kind enough to let me stay again (I hope my snoring wasn't too bad!)

We got through so much this weekend and Dave captured some lovely images.

Looking forward to the next one

Of course I very highly recommend Dave!

Elle Beth

Another great shoot with Dave at one of my studio days at Hampton street studio! Dave is always lots of fun to work with, professional, relaxed and creative. I always enjoy the shoots when Dave is involved and i hope to work with him again in the new year.

Highly recommended!

Ivy Lee

I had such a fab shoot with Dave and also Gary. I'm so glad that we got the chance to work together. Dave is very good at working with models, he know which angles to shoot and how to communicate well with models, it made the shoot a breeze and made me feel confident. He is such a gentlemen and also such a laugh! The ideas were fantastic and Dave executed them well. I always love it when photographers allow me to push my modelling skills and try new ideas. I recommend him very highly and would work with him again in a heartbeat. Thank so much Dave X

Artemis Fauna

Yet another fab shoot with Dave- this time at the Natural Light Studio alongside Carla Monaco on our duo event!

Dave bought treats for us (YAY) and took loads of awesome images (YAY) what more can you ask for?? Oh yes, well he was as lovely as ever, respectful and fun. Win win win.

Can't wait to work with Dave again later this year. Thank you so much for booking on! :)
