The Couple: Natalia & Andrew
Natalia, a Brazilian, and Andrew, a proud Brit residing in Australia, brought their love story to the charming English countryside. Their wedding became a melting pot of cultures, with family and friends flying in from all corners of the world to celebrate their union.
What Excited Them Most: Beyond the joy of saying "I do," Natalia and Andrew eagerly anticipated the blending of their two families. The anticipation of having loved ones from different parts of the globe come together to celebrate their love made the day even more special.
Why They Chose Me: Natalia and Andrew, planning their Kent wedding from Australia, relied on reviews and gut feelings to select their vendors. In their own words, after a Zoom meeting with me, they canceled other photography appointments because they had found their guy. Their review highlights the care, friendliness, and professionalism that I strive to bring to every wedding. Throughout the year leading up to their wedding, I stayed in touch, always ready to help with anything they needed.
“ “We planned our whole Kent wedding from Australia, which meant we had to rely a lot on reviews and gut feelings by doing everything online. Danny was the first (and only) photographer we had a Zoom meeting with, and after it was done, we canceled the other ones - we had found our guy!
We had some bad experiences with photographers in the past, so we were a bit concerned overall, but Danny was an absolute legend from the beginning. Friendly, caring, helpful, and extremely professional.
We booked him a year in advance, and throughout those 12 months, he reached out, always offering to help, in case we needed something else. We only met him in person on the day of the wedding, and even though it sounded impossible, he still managed to exceed our expectations. Everything went perfect. It was so nice to have him on our day; everyone loved him. Every time we’re talking about the wedding, someone always mentions him ‘your photographer was so amazing.’
He captured moments; we can look at the photos and relive those moments, it’s amazing, so candid, so special. The only issue is: now we have over 500 stunning photos and not enough walls to hang them! Hahaha Thank you so much, Danny.””
