Dave Burgess Photography

Congratulations on your engagement.

Are you looking for a wedding photographer in the South-West to capture your big day in a candid documentary style as they blend into the crowd like a master ninja or someone who can take beautiful photos of you both for a length of time that suits you? Maybe a bit of both?

Due to my background as a former Royal Marine and a humble bumblebee, I cover a lot of military and former military personnel. I have a relaxed and fun approach, while professional and diligent allowing me to work well with my couples and their guests.

Mary and I are a couple team that work together for our Premium Package.

I like to mix between the candid “fly on the wall” documenting style and getting more involved with you and your guests. How much of each depends on the people and situation. I’m a pretty good judge of when you and your guests don’t want a camera in their faces and when they’re ready to show me their personality.

You’ll quickly notice that I take tightly framed intimate portraiture photos of you both. I get very creative with these. I don’t follow a set routine and will do what I think works for you both and the location. When you look back on your photos in years to come, you’ll likely be looking at these photos the most. This brings us to the way I edit your photos.

I believe your photographs shouldn't look as if they were taken in Gotham City or the Victorian era. Our style of editing is close to true colour, giving you a timeless collection of your day.

Ultimately, I document those precious moments of you both and the moments you may have missed with your friends and family. I love to see you both laughing and smiling together.
