Damien from jellyfish photographed our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the experience. We had a consultation before the event, so that our photo album wishes for the day were granted. Throughout the day, from the bridal party getting ready, to speeches and first dance, the photographer made sure all our image requests were shot. He made all the guests feel relaxed and comfortable being snapped - especially winning over the kids.
The follow up service was also great, with easy access to our online gallery which we could share with our guests so that they could order their own photos of they day. First class service from start to finish and I'd recommend to anyone

2 years ago Damien photographed our wedding day:) our photos were beautiful and we were beyond pleased. By pure chance my auntie hired a photographer for my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary party and low and behold it was Damien that turned up:)) again the photos were more than we could've hoped for. Highly recommended!!!

Jellyfish photographed our wedding day and we couldn't be happier with our choice in photographer! Damian is a pleasure to work with. Not only is Damian reliable and flexible but he was a joy to have on our special day. Everyone felt calm and relaxed in front of the camera. Our photos are everything we could have wished for capturing not just the group shots but some more natural shots of the guests and the day itself. Through Damian's professional work we are able to have photos that show every element of our big day. Thank you!
