Some nice things people say...

We cannot speak highly enough of David! From our first meeting we knew David was the person we wanted to capture our special day. David's fun, calming nature just meant that we never felt stressed or anxious about "the perfect picture". He brought a wealth of knowledge and experience that resulted in a seamless day. We're so happy with the final pictures and we haven't stopped receiving rave reviews from our guests. All we can say is thank you again!

Wow. What an amazing photographer. From the start of the day right through to the evening, David was fun but professional and despite having a list of the photos we wanted, he captured so much more. He was great at being thrown into the deep end. All of our guests have also commented on how professional, fun and discrete David was throughout the day. You hardly knew he was there. Prior to the planning of the wedding photography, David was great at keeping in touch and really thorough in our face to face meeting when asking about our family and the types of photos we wanted captured from the day. The edited photos are truly remarkable, making it a difficult decision for us to choose from! We are so happy having chosen David as our photographer and would whole heartedly recommend him to anybody for their special day. Thank you David! You were amazing.

Before our wedding, David made sure he was fully prepped, giving us advice and listening to our wishes. On the day, he was nothing short of fantastic. Always willing to take one more photo and many of our guests complimented us on his personable manner. After the day, he speedily sent us our curated pictures, where we realised what an incredible job he'd done capturing every memorable moment. If you need a photographer, look no further.

David has been absolutely brilliant. Due to unforeseen circumstances after the wedding, we had to delay getting the album. We then decided we wanted to change the whole layout and structure. David was patient, kind and very professional. His expertise shone through day in day out. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Absolutely would recommend.

As a venue it is so important to work with suppliers that you can fully rely on but who also go above and beyond to exceed expectations. They become an extension of your team and their actions affect your reputation, this is why we have a very strict selective process that we follow when recommending suppliers. We have worked with David King now for many years and his approach is, without exception, professional and of the highest standard. As well as being an extremely talented photographer, with David we know that our clients are in safe hands throughout the whole process. Wedding photographers are such a big part of the day, you really need to build a special relationship with them in order to get the best results. David is brilliant at putting people at ease and making sure that all of those vital images are captured in an unobtrusive and feel good way and that is why I would recommend David to anyone without hesitation.
The Orangery, Maidstone
David was our recommended photographer for our wedding last July at the Orangery in Maidstone, and we can see why! His friendly, supportive nature and attention to detail really came to life during our special day, but it was more than that. David held both our hands through the initial consultation and listened to what we both wanted. He then executed our vision to perfection and has created a wedding album that is nothing short of stunning. He was patient, helpful, funny and won all the guests over with his personality...and he also captured some BRILLIANT moments. Our friends and family have seen the wedding book now and have all commented on his excellent work. Thank you David..we couldn't recommend you highly enough 👍🏻

David was the absolutely brilliant! My Husband does not like to smile in pictures, but Dave was great at making us and the rest of our guests feel at ease in front of the camera. It was a really nice, fun part of the day taking our pictures, rather than long and boring slog that I thought it would be. We had some bad weather, but Dave was able to work around this and still get us some fantastic pictures. He was very happy, energetic and genuinely seemed like he was having a good time while working, which made everything feel even more natural and easy. All our guests commented on how funny and professional he was.

Just wanted to thank you for dropping off our album, it was so exciting to receive it! The album is fantastic, the quality is amazing and the matte paper is perfect. I love the leather sleeve it comes in too, and the crystal glance cover is a really nice touch. It’s been great working with you, from when I first got in touch about our wedding, throughout the planning and rescheduling our date because of Covid and then on the day too! You’ve been so professional and flexible with our date, and provided a lot of calm and reassurance on the day itself! I especially love the candid shots you took on the day, it just gives a really calm and relaxed insight into the day. The shots you took at night are some of my favourite, so special!
