WHAT MY VALUED CUSTOMERS SAY...

1 of 6
A Wedding at Rowton Castle
"Darren is friendly, relaxed, and was great at understanding how we wanted our day to be captured. We have a perfect mixture of formal photos, natural moments, and the details of the day we might’ve missed. He’s told a story of our day through his photography and captured exactly how we felt in those moments. Darren made us feel really comfortable and relaxed throughout the day and we think that shows in the pictures.

We’re delighted with how our wedding photos have turned out and glad to have had Darren with us on the day. Amazing job, thank you Darren!
A Wedding at Nuthurst Grange
"Darren did a brilliant job of taking and editing our wedding photos. The photos he took came out looking brilliant and bring back all the happy memories from our big day. He made me and my wife (and all of our guests) feel really comfortable which led to the photos being relaxed and less staged. Lots of our guests from the day also said how good Darren was, seeming to be everywhere taking photos. We've also had lots of compliments on our album and the quality of the photos in them. I would definitely recommend booking Darren for your wedding; very talented photographer, easy to work with, and the final product came out looking amazing. Thank you again"

A Wedding at The Elms
"Darren was absolutely amazing on our wedding day. He captured our day beautifully. He was so professional from our first meeting through to the delivery of our album. He managed to photograph every special moment of our day and even managed to make our upset two year old smile for one of our family shots! He had a natural rapport with our wedding guests and made every one feel at ease. We will always be grateful for the memories he has provided us with his photographs of our wedding. We would recommend in a heartbeat!"
A Wedding at Channels Estate
"We hired Darren for our wedding and he travelled all the way to Essex. With all the photographers that are out there, I'm pretty sure we chose the best. Thank you so much for capturing our day the way you did, you truly have captured every aspect of our day that made it special. Absolutely amazing - thank you"
A Wedding at New Hall
"We were totally blown away with the images Darren captured of our wedding day. We have images we had no idea he was taking which caught little special moments of us that really do tell the story of our day. Darren was friendly, fun and above all professional, blending into our day while capturing each special moment perfectly. We would highly recommend Darren to everyone looking for beautiful images to treasure of their special day. Thank you so much, we are so happy with the pictures and really grateful you took the time to come back that evening as the image of us outside New Hall at night is just beautiful"
A Wedding at Shustoke Farm Barns
"We asked Darren to be our wedding photographer as he was highly recommended to us! We had also been to a friends wedding where he was the photographer and so we had seen some of the beautiful, natural and relaxed shots he had captured without him even really being noticed by guests on the day. We definitely made the right decision by asking Darren! He was fantastic, right from our first planning meeting I instantly felt confident, reassured and excited! He listened to everything we wanted and delivered just that and so much more! Darren was brilliant with the children, our 4 year old daughter loved him (she still asks about him now lol) and we have had lots of compliments about him! We have been and collected our wedding album this week and it is absolutely stunning!!!!!! Darren is extremely talented and captured every precious moment of our day perfectly! Looking through our album helped us to relive our day all over again from start to finish and we just can't thank him enough!"

WHY CHOOSE DARREN HARVEY?  

When it comes to choosing a photographer, experience and expertise matter. With close to a four-figure count of weddings photographed since 2003, I have honed my craft and consistently delivered the highest level of service to my valued customers. In a world where almost anyone claims to be a photographer, selecting a qualified Master Photographer is a smart decision.

Freezing a moment in time is only the beginning. What sets me apart is my ability to truly see and capture those precious moments of your day that are not only stunning but uniquely reflective of your personality. I possess a deep understanding of people and the true meaning of service, never losing sight of the fact that it is your special day. My aim is to tell your story without interruption, capturing some of the most beautiful moments that unfold naturally.

Mastering the art of utilizing the surroundings and available light takes years of skill and experience. After all, the world's greatest photographers did not achieve their status by mere chance. I believe that being a great photographer means empowering my clients to reach their full potential while understanding how to create exceptional images. By getting to know you just enough, I create an atmosphere of relaxation and comfort. It will feel like having a friend by your side, knowing when to give you space and offering guidance based on my expertise. I firmly believe that you are at your best when you are at ease, and that is precisely what I strive to achieve.

But don't just take my word for it. I encourage you to explore the testimonials and feedback from my previous customers, who have experienced firsthand the exceptional service and memorable moments I have had the privilege to capture.
