Capturing all those little moments as the day unfolds is what makes your wedding photography special and what tells the story of your wedding day. My style of photography is a careful mix of reportage, traditional and candid. I aim to be as non intrusive as I possibly can, I try to just be there, watch what happens and capture every little detail as it occurs. Having said that, I am also very experienced at bringing your guests together for the all important family group photographs. There is so much thought that goes in to your wedding day, the decisions, the details and most importantly the people and of course you. All of this captured as it happens on the day, a memory for you to have for years to come. Providing a professional service that rolls with the day rather than imposing on it.

Dave came to take photographs at a school for us - and despite this being a new area for him, he produced some excellent work and really understood the "feel" that we were aiming for. He worked excellently with everyone here and went above and beyond to tailor his work to the vision we have. The photographs were available for us quickly and we are absolutely over the moon with them. Cannot recommend highly enough.

David has done some stunning photographs of my children at each of their Christening. The light inside the Churches can be a challenge to photographers but David has proven that it wasn't to him and the pictures were excellent. We couldn't have been more happy with them as they captured the mood and the setting perfectly. Thank you so much David!

David was our photographer for our wedding on the 13th of June. I must say that his prices are very competitive and was the cheapest we found via a friends recommendation. We had David take photos from the bridal party preparations at the hotel all the way through to our first dance in the evening. We was delighted when they arrived and had over 600 photos taken all on a disc in a HD format to print and also same again for photo sharing apps like Facebook.
He captured our day and evening so beautifully with varied shots of natural and posed. As we went through them it brought the wonderful memories of our special day back again as we relived it all over again. David was very originised and made sure we got all of the key family photos without needing to prompt him which shows his experience and professionalism. I would highly recommend David to any one needing a quality photographer at an affordable price. Very efficient service with fantastic photos, spot on !

BRILLIANT! A huge thank-you to David for all his effort and hard-work on our special day. At the ceremony and reception we barely knew he was even there (in a good way).
David clearly has a wealth of knowledge and experience and knew just how to get the best of every photo. The on-line album was a great opportunity to view our photos before the DVD's arrived in the post, which was far sooner than expected!
The quality of the photos and presentation were great, two great photos on the cover of the DVD was a lovely, personal touch!
Effects on some of the photos added a really nice dynamic whilst viewing and David has clearly put in time and effort to make them special. I would recommend David West to anyone without hesitation, nor would I hesitate in using his services in the future!

I could not be happier with the photos from David West Photography from our wedding on 17th October at Wivenhoe House. When we had our first appointment with David he came to our house and showed us some of his fantastic work, we then went through what sort of photography we wanted for our wedding and I can honestly say we got exactly what we asked for and more.
Davids work is excellent and you can certainly see that he has plenty of experience in his field.
The DVD we received was great, what a wonderful keep sake. We also received an email from David prior to receiving our DVD with a link to log into his website so we could view our photos whilst waiting for the DVD to arrive. We only waited around 4 weeks for our photos which was alot sooner than I had imagined. All in all what a fantastic service we received, and I would certainly recommend David for any event.

David captured our wedding in February 2016 beautifully. We couldn't have asked for more. He made everyone feel at ease and provided an amazing service. I loved the black and white and natural photos especially. I now wish I had booked him for the whole day. I highly recommend David, very professional and great rates.
