Dominic photographed my daughters wedding. He put a nervous bride and groom at ease and captured both natural and the mandatory wedding photographs beautifully, he was very attentive and patient, you can tell he has a real passion in his work. I would thoroughly recommend Dominic for your special day.

We've used Dominic's services many times from portraits of individuals to corporate events. He is friendly, putting people quickly at ease and has the knack of being 'invisible' in gatherings, taking great pictures without being intrusive. That's why he remains our go-to!

I have used Dominic's photography services since 2014 to photograph my artwork prior to it being published for my greetings card publishing business. Dominic's photographic skill is second to none and I have always found him to be very accommodating and a pleasure to do business with.
