Another thank you :-), this time for my event's coverage

I never get tired of recieving letters of thanks, and recently had the pleasure of opening this letter from a client who had invited me to cover their businesses 10th Anniversary celebrations:






“I'd like to thank Dan for the excellent work he did during our recent 10 year celebrations held at our practice.

He arrived well before the first guest had come and was efficiently unobtrousive in setting up all his equipment.

He used his considerable expertise to take portrait shots of my staff and I, as well as 'action' shots of many of our guests during the event.

The images were delivered in a suitable format promptly and were of fantastic quality.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Daniel Davies Photography to my friends and colleagues

Kind regards

Deven Lakhani"

The day was great and Deven certainly got full value for his time, we managed to squeeze in some corporate headshots, like the one at the top of this article (isn't Deven a handsome chap!), and some product shots as well as covering the event itself.








I love giving exceptional value to my clients!

Laughing in Richmond Park - my latest pre-wedding shoot.

Last Saturday, and another of my recent sequence of pre-wedding shots saw me in beautiful Richmond Park for a shoot with Dawn and Rob.

Spending time with these two made it impossible not to see the connection they have - one that became even more obvious when seeing how often each got the other to dissolve in fits of giggles!

Have a look at a selection of my early favourite images below:





















A few more of the day's top images are also available via my Facebook page.


Rob & Dawn will shortly be presented with a full gallery of around 50 images and then will have the pleasant task of choosing their top 10 images. From these I will produce a unique, complimentary 16x16 canvas, in one of three designs - all of which you can only get from Daniel Davies Photography.

St. Katherines dock provides a beautiful backdrop for Jon & Luiza's Pre-wedding shoot

The glorious sunshine of the weekend just gone and the beauty of London's St. Katherine's dock was an apt background for Jonathan & Luiza to slot in a pre-wedding shot ahead of their nuptials next month. The pre-wedding shoot is something I insist upon as it provides me with an excellent opportunity to work with a bride and groom ahead of their wedding, to learn a little more about what they like and don't like, and means that I'm less of a scary stranger when it comes to their wedding day. All of this adds up to one thing ... BETTER WEDDING PHOTOS ... and that's why I do it!

Here are a few highlights from saturday's shoot:

Fran & Nick... a pre-wedding shoot on wheels!

I spent a really good fun morning last Saturday with Fran & Nick - two of the nicest people you could want to photograph, as they zoomed around Island Gardens in Docklands on their in-line skates.

Fran had previously told me that they're looking for an entirely documentary coverage of their wedding this summer at the Knights Templar pub in Chancery Lane, so my usual, more posed pre-wedding session didn't seem to fit. I therefore loaded my long lens, turned the camera to high speed mode, and clicked away as Fran & Nick skated around their home. I hope you like the results:


























Fran & Nick now have the pleasant chore of choosing their top 10 images from the full gallery, from which I will produce a unique, complimentary 16x16 canvas, in one of three designs - all of which you can only get from Daniel Davies Photography.

A groom - at top speed

Part of my busy saturday was an afternoon spent with a stag party as they karted at top speeds around the great track at The Raceway on the Greenwich/Charlton borders just south of the river.

The 90 minute session looked tremendous fun, with tight corners and fast straights combining to make for some "interesting" racing. A few of the photographs of the day are below:



Getting down low to the track helped me capture this great image of some close racing.



Here, I mixed a slow shutter speed with a burst of flash to get this great "action" shot.



Someone's concentration levels could clearly do with improving!



It's the eyes that make this shot. Can you spot the tinest hint of fear?!



After racing there was the chance to capture some of the (slightly sweaty) combattents as they relived their finest moments.

A recommendation via Linked-in

I was delighted to recieve the following recommendation from a past client via the "Linked in" professional social media network yesterday:

“On one of my website projects I had been dealing with a valued client who runs a well known physiotherapy practice. We had decided that the website would benefit from some professional photographs of the staff, facilities and techniques used. Having dealt with Dan in the past on a previous project I was happy to use him again. Dan arrived on site fully prepared and was able to set up a shoot area to take the staff photos as well as capturing some great close ups of the reatments and dynamic shots of the facilities available. Both the client and myself were exceptionally pleased with Dan's professionalism, the quality of the photography and the swift turnaround of discs containing the finished images.” March 29, 2011

It's always lovely when someone likes you, and even better when completely off their own back they send you a massive "thank you".

We produced the headshots for the website using a small corridor at the rear of the premisis as a temporary studio, which meant that we were away from the general hustle and bustle of their busy physiotherapy practice and were able to call each member of staff in for maybe 5-10 minutes as and when they were ready.




We also spent an hour or two taking some more general photographs of the practice, it's treatments and treatment rooms, once again fitting in around their clients and staff.




You can see my work on their finalised website here, and if you want a similarly professional image for your website then contact me on 020 8372 2090 / 07596 470077 or by clicking here.

Another thank you from Lindsay & Steve

It's always a great pleasure to receive a note of thanks from Brides and Grooms that you have worked with to photograph their weddings and this pleasure was afforded to me a couple of days ago when I recieved an email from Lindsay and Steve, who got married last autumn.

Hi Dan,

We wanted to thank you for all of your hard work on the day of our wedding and for designing our beautiful photo album that has captured so many happy memories of the day.

You did a wonderful job of making two people who are very nervous in front of cameras relax and enjoy ourselves during the pre-wedding shoot (a great idea!) and you made us feel comfortable during all of the photography on our wedding day. You listened to our views and took photographs in exactly the style we asked for. The mixture of natural and more formal shots has given us the perfect record of our day. We are very grateful for the amount of time you spent with us, from the "getting ready" stage through to the first dance and many of our friends and family commented on how friendly and unobtrusive you were.

We'd also like to thank you for your patience with us. You understood how overwhelming organising a wedding can be and gave us plenty of time and opportunity to choose exactly what we wanted without any pressure.

The album is beautiful. It was such a special moment to see the photographs printed out for the first time. The album shows all of those little details that you just can't see in the same way on the computer screen and we've taken great pleasure in showing it off to friends, family and even our neighbours!

Thanks again, Dan.

With our very best wishes,

Steve and Lindsay
