Douglas Fry Wedding Photographer

Douglas was superb and wonderfully unobtrusive. We wanted to have the best photos of all our important people without all the posing and time-consuming group shots. A bit of a tall order but Douglas exceeded our expectations in every way. He was a delight to deal with and a total professional. Thank you for recording our special day so brilliantly.

Our sons wedding was photographed ( brilliant photos everything we could wish for )a couple of years ago I now needed a high res photo from my sons wedding to create a canvas picture all i had to do was ask ( yesterday ) and within hours i was sent one and could sort the picture i wanted for my wife's birthday, cannot fault the service and after-service we have received in any way highly recommended Dave

We had Douglas take the photographs for our wedding in November 2021 and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. The photos were great, Douglas was very discrete during the whole day and we really liked that the formal family photos were well organised and didn't take too long so we could go back to the reception. I also really liked that he didn't use flash so as to be able to get natural photos without alerting the people around. Many thanks Douglas and Sam.

Douglas was a brilliant photographer! He was very friendly, and made you feel very relaxed. Took some fabulous photos, he was very good at hiding, especially in the church! I never believed he took so many photos until they arrived. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Not only was Douglas the photographer at my wedding in 2007, but also my 50th and Family photoshoot in 2020. Love his style and silent yet insignificant presence.capturing the most important, precious, captivating shots! Very professional and puts you totally at ease!

Douglas photographed our wedding last year and we could not have been happier with the result. His experience, expertise and professionalism were clear from the first moment we met him and started to plan the day, right through to the execution on the day which was faultless. He captured every moment, the naturalness of every pose, the aliveness and sparkle in each person's expression - leaving us a detailed, beautiful, intimate record of our special day. Our guests were absolutely delighted too. Marcus & Dai

For 20 years I employed professional photographers for marketing photoshoots and so, I know the best and so when, it came to my own family photography, my number one choice is Douglas Fry. There is truly no one better than Douglas for putting you at ease and creating perfect, candid shots. He is a total professional, very friendly (and funny) and the quality of the photography is superb.

I could not recommend him more highly. The level of service from the first call through to the photographic shoot and the amazingly beautiful photographs to share and treasure afterwards are, simply the best.

Douglas was our wedding photographer and we genuinely couldn't have found someone better. We love every one of the pictures he presented to us and there are a lot! He was superb throughout and frankly barely noticeable by his presence. He has truly captured the essence of the whole day from the arrival of guests, to the wedding service itself, to the reception, the dinner and of course post dinner.

We particularly love his soft focus photos of all of our guests. He has curated a beautiful wedding album for us which is something we come back to again and again. Highly recommended and would happy to be a reference.

Douglas is a class act all the way around. First, the photographs were stunning and returned back to us quickly. He and Sam were professional and accommodating from the first communication to the last. Douglas was friendly and instantly put us at ease. Not only would I use his service again and again, but also, I would recommend him to everyone.

We asked Douglas Fry to take some photos of our family during lockdown, while our kids were at home and our son was back from University. Doug managed to put everyone at ease and the whole shoot was great fun. He is very professional and the photos were processed very fast and with incredible efficiency. We were so happy with the prints. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

With guests travelling from across the world, Singapore, USA, Japan, Australia, Europe and the UK, it was essential we had the very best photographer to capture our wedding at Kensington Palace. Douglas was first class, his personality was engaging and warm, his approach was almost invisible as he glided between guests across every moment of the day, capturing the most amazing images that will be with us for ever! We highly recommend Douglas who is consummate professional!

I met Douglas at a wedding event and after seeing how he masters capturing moments during these precious occasions, I didn't hesitate in booking him. He was delightful to work with - from discussing vision prior to the big day, to receiving the photos after. Douglas is very timely, professional, and friendly. He's knowledge of London's best wedding venues made me confident in his capability to ensure we will be able to enjoy the memories from our big day. I'd give Douglas my heartfelt recommendations.

First of all, great thanks to Douglas and Samantha, although we have addressed these gratitude many times on different occasions, but, never enough! We searched Douglas from the suppliers recommendation list provided by our wedding venue. From the first approach via phone, I already knew, this part was going to be the best of our wedding and it was indeed! Douglas never used stage-managed photography, not just for time saving out of a fully occupied schedule, but also for natural and emotional moments capturing.

We had few meetings (face to face/phone) with Douglas afterwards, and settled all details down with Samantha, very efficient! Douglas gave us many brilliant ideas and he's very easy to communicate also happy to learn diverse culture, as we brought some Chinese elements, for example, Tea ceremony and Chinese suits etc. into our big day. On the day, none of us/guests were disturbed by non-flash lens, so we do appreciate of these!

We also received our wedding day photography from website, only few days after wedding. The pictures were really impressive and we were rather impressed! Not to mention we are still in contact from time to time, via Douglas SNS homepage, simply because these new wonderful arts are reminding us of our past but still fresh and sweet memories. Thanks so much for being part of our day!

Douglas was amazing! We cannot speak highly enough of Douglas. We got married in January so the majority of our wedding was after dark and Douglas didn't use a flash once - which was one of the main reasons we chose him. His documentary style photography is EXACTLY what we wanted, he captured the day exactly how it was and for the beauty it delivered.

He got the glow of the candles and the warmth of the day and private moments that we didn't even know happened. We initially got in touch with Douglas because he has photographed a wedding at the Gherkin previously and we wanted someone who was familiar with the space as it isn't a venue we could frequently visit. We knew as soon as we met him that he was the right photographer for us, he is a person who is passionate about taking photos and that shines through in his work and him as a person.

He was laid back and subtle throughout our day and has a cracking sense of humour that fit in perfectly with our north/south wedding. We also had a team of two videographers who Douglas worked with extremely well ensuring that they got the shots they needed as well as capturing his own - that was priceless to us. The cost was very reasonable and worth every penny and more! We will cherish our photos for years to come and can't thank Douglas enough for capturing our day so perfectly. Would 100% recommend him, look no further!

Douglas Fry was recommended to us by our venue: Stationer's Hall as someone who had been there before, and produced great photos. He wasn't the only one on their recommended list, but after checking out his website, I really liked the style of his photography: natural/reportage and no-flash. Sometimes photographs can look washed out with a flash, and that's not the look we wanted.

He will include the formal line-up photographs - and any other photographs/groupings you want. We asked him to capture our day. He certainly did that. The photographs are beautiful and arrived very quickly. His wife runs the admin side and we couldn't be more satisfied with their communication and professionalism. They say don't scrimp on your photographer and I would agree. I don't regret booking Douglas Fry for a minute and can't recommend highly enough. (Thank you Douglas!)

We chose Douglas as our wedding photographer after much research and we are so glad we did - we absolutely love our photographs! Correspondence before and after was brilliant. On the day Doughlas was very professional and put us at ease, we hardly knew he was there. We also received our photos just a few days after the wedding!

I couldn't recommend Douglas highly enough. Our wedding took place over two days and he was extremely professional and discrete. I loved our photos when we received them and Douglas managed to capture the spirit of the whole wedding. We have numerous photos we like of ourselves which is quite an achievement for two very camera shy people!

Douglas was our photographer for our wedding in central London. From the initial consultation through to after the wedding, both he and Sam provided a helpful, friendly and professional service. The photos themselves are exceptional and really captured all the moments and the atmosphere of the day whilst working unobtrusively. We wholeheartedly recommend Douglas.

Douglas is a fantastic wedding photographer - I can't recommend him highly enough. His photographs really capture the special moments but because he generally doesn't use flash he blends seamlessly into the background. All our family were very pleased with then pictures too. The turn around time for sending us the photographs was very fast and bought Douglas and his wife Sam are incredibly friendly and helpful.

Douglas and Adrian were commissioned to photogragh and video my Mother's 80th birthday party near Chichester, having done such a great job on her 70th ! They work so well together that Adrian doesn't appear in Douglas's photos nor Douglas in Adrian's video . They both managed to mingle unobtrusively and use no flash or lighting and yet got great results . We are very happy indeed with the quality of the album and video and look forward to them recording Mother's 90th !

Douglas was the photographer at my wedding. From an early stage it was clear that he would be a joy to work with and he didn’t disappoint. He and Sam got into contact with the venues, with whom they had worked previously, so this took a lot off my mind and my plate. The rest of the lead-up to the big day was plain sailing – the right balance between asking the right questions but not too many!

As for the day itself, I hardly noticed Douglas was there, and yet he managed to capture so many amazing moments from the day, the very essence of the day. There is no shortage of “extra” options either in terms of photo production. I cannot recommend Douglas highly enough.
