I love reading the many wonderful comments I receive from delighted couples, families and businesses that I have the pleasure of working with. Whether it’s comments about my professionalism, feedback of my handling of an event or situation or praise over the beautiful images received; it makes me realise how privileged I am to be able to share in someone’s special day, capturing important moments in their lives or simply giving them a fabulous experience during a photo session in Louth, Lincolnshire or elsewhere. Here’s a handful …
“Thank you so much, Darren, for making our special day so perfect and magical!
Nothing was too much trouble for you and we couldn’t have done it without you! It was exactly how we imagined it would be and you understood and worked with us to achieve this, and for that we are forever grateful.
We just wanted to take this time to thank you once again and we couldn’t be happier with all that you have done for us. You went above and beyond before, during and after our special day and we thank you so much for this. ”

Bridie & Aaron | Your Big Day
My husband and I were both a little nervous about our wedding photoshoot, but Darren put us both at ease from the very beginning. In fact, we did not stop laughing!
We have beautiful pictures which we will treasure for a lifetime. Darren went above and beyond our expectations and we are very grateful!

Devon & Matt | Life Moments
Thank you for capturing the most special moment of 2023 for us.

Paula & Karl | Your Big Day
Absolutely faultless amazing photographer! We’ve had lots of family shoots including ten people with four children under 4! Recently we had Darren for our wedding. The day was so easy, the children loved him and was comfortable getting the best out of them. We didn’t notice him running around in the woods to get pictures from different angles. We got everything we requested and about 600 photos more! Nothing was too much trouble, any ideas we had he made sure he captured plus some suggestions of his own which was amazing.
There was a selection of our photos available the next morning even though he spent 12 hours shooting! We couldn’t of had a better photographer, one that we felt more comfortable with and will forever be grateful he captured our magical day and we have so many photos to look back on. We feel like we have made a friend who we will continuously book to capture the growth of our family year on year!

Amy & Adam | Your Big Day
Darren was absolutely amazing before, during and after our special day!
Darren managed to capture all of the wedding, the reactions, the fun and the laughter. He has produced some lovely photos and have provided us with a memory bank forever.
Darren is a top bloke and highly recommended!

Jo & David | Outdoor Studio
What a wonderful experience it was to have our daughter’s Quinceanera photographs taken by Darren! We were visiting family in Louth, from the United States, and Darren was very flexible in helping us figure out a time that would work for all of us. He did an outdoor shoot at Hubbard’s Hills and not only did my daughter look amazing in the pictures, but the backdrops were breath-taking! He is very good at what he does and has an artistic eye. His friendly demeanour is also helpful to get people feeling at ease VERY quickly and we all felt very comfortable with him. So much so, that we have already decided to use Darren for our other daughter’s graduation photos - during our visit next year! Darren is truly brilliant and our family cannot recommend him enough! Thank you so much, Darren.

Jacqueline & Mark | Your Big Day
Myself and my wife would like to thank you for making our special day a day to remember.
The photos you took of our wedding ceremony are exceptional. We really liked the personal touch you gave us and it was great to meet you before our wedding to discuss what we wanted and what would be possible. The photos you took for us far exceeded what we were after. Everyone who was at our wedding has commented on the photos and have said how good they are.
We would recommend you to anyone who wants professional and friendly service with high quality photos. Again, Darren, thank you for being our photographer and we look forward to seeing more of your work.

Sarah & William | Your Big Day
Thank you so much, these are amazing! It has been great and your work is fantastic!

Debbie & Simon | Your Big Day
We love them. You were superb - extremely professional, easy-going and friendly.

Megan & Ben | Outdoor Studio
10/10 experience. Made my little family feel at ease when we had our outdoor photography session. Would highly recommend.

Laura & Edward | Outdoor Studio
Darren came to our house to do a photoshoot with our three-year-old son, Henry. The whole shoot was very relaxed and Henry was able to have a great time while Darren was able to get some wonderful photographs of him playing in various locations. The finished photographs were even better than we had expected and the whole service we had was brilliant from end to end. Thank you!

Emma & John | Your Big Day
Darren comes highly recommended after spending time with us as the photographer at our wedding - it was very clear we made a very good choice. We previously tried to find a photographer but heard some real horror stories! Then a friend recommended Darren. Knowing how particular our friend was we knew he had to be good and, oh boy, he really was! His attitude, mannerisms and professionalism was second to none and on top of these amazing qualities he was a genuinely nice guy.

Emma | Life Moments
A huge thank you, Darren, for all your time and effort to make my daughter’s prom extra special. The photos you took were amazing, I couldn’t have wished for a better man to do such a special event for me. These are lovely pictures that we can treasure forever.

Sian | Life Moments
I can’t say it enough ... you’re great! I’m so honoured you have been a part of my family’s big moments so far. From the first photo shoot with our baby, our wedding day and, most recently, the 25th wedding anniversary/family get together/engagement/baby reveal/birthday weekend away!
You continue to be relaxed, yet professional. In control, yet open to ideas and thoughts. There’s no time wasting but always time. After receiving the latest work from you I can’t be more impressed ... and that was just at the (yet again) beautifully displayed package! I can’t wait to find another opportunity to use your services again. Thank you!

Cheryl & Shaun | Outdoor Studio
I bought a gift voucher for my dad for Father’s Day and we spent a fantastic evening at Hubbard’s Hills having the photographs taken. From start to finish, we had a wonderful couple of hours as a family, with Darren putting everyone at ease. His friendly and professional manner resulted in some amazing family photographs (even for those of us who dislike having our photographs taken). I would wholeheartedly recommend Darren to anyone looking to commemorate a special occasion.

Isabelle & Dan | Outdoor Studio
Amazing photographer! Where do I start?!
Darren reached out to myself out of sheer kindness after unfortunate circumstances of our wedding photographer and did a beautiful natural outdoor shoot for me and my husband followed by a beautiful shoot of my son included. So many shoots for our family as well as being my brother’s and sister’s wedding photographer.
Would highly recommend him to anybody! Amazing photographer!

Andrea & David | Outdoor Studio
Darren was great on our family Outdoor Studio shoot, making us feel very relaxed and was fantastic with the children! It was lovely spending time in natural surroundings and coming away with some fantastic family photos which we will be able to look back on in years to come. Would definitely recommend to others - very talented photographer!

Sophie | Outdoor Studio
I would thoroughly recommend Darren for a photoshoot. He put me and my friend completely at ease and we felt comfortable and happy throughout the shoot. Lots of laughs along the way and we enjoyed experimenting with various natural settings in the countryside. Couldn’t fault it. Thank you, Darren.

Sarah | Life Moments
For us, the sign of a great children’s photographer is someone who is so unobtrusive that they capture the essence of your child without them even realising that they are being photographed. Darren is one such photographer! The results were phenomenal - the most fabulous pictures, which we will cherish for many years.

Judith & Mike | Outdoor Studio
It wasn’t the easiest day to be taking photos of our two-and-a-half year-old grandson, as it turned out, and we did have to change our plans just a little. But unfazed by it all, Darren found a way to let what happens happen. The end results left us spoilt for choice. Frankly, almost any photo he took was the right one. The outcome was better than we could have imagined.

Hollie | Life Moments
I was very nervous as I had never had a photoshoot before however as soon as I arrived Darren made me feel really comfortable and relaxed and even welcomed along my noisy dog!
I am really pleased and they will be saved for a very long time and looked back on as a very precious time in my life. I am very thankful to Darren for being able to share that with me!
Would highly recommend Darren for any special occasions or shoots.

Paula | Outdoor Studio
I would just like to thank you for the fantastic service that we received from beginning to end with our recent photoshoot at Hubbard’s Hills. Nothing was too much trouble and the pictures were delivered promptly at the end.

Sophie & Matthew | Outdoor Studio
Thank you so much Darren! Matthew and I were really nervous about having our pictures taken but you made it so fun and low pressure that we had a fantastic time, as well as getting some wonderful pictures. Mum absolutely loved them! As well, thank you again for humouring such stupid requests as, ‘Can we have a spy one?’

Debbie
Thank you very much Darren, it is always a pleasure working with you. Your work is first class and you have a very professional approach and first class work. We highly recommend.

Sue | Outdoor Studio
Had a great time having these photos taken, many thanks for putting us both at ease and professional way that the photoshoot was done.

Rosie | Life Moments
Thank you so much Darren for my stunning birthday photoshoot, the photos are amazing.
“We are so happy that we picked Darren to be our photographer for our wedding. He was friendly and professional throughout. He was available for consultation before the big day and and on the wedding itself he was there capturing every special moment.
The results are so good. We have so many amazing photos, it’s going to to be hard to know which we should have printed. We had the photos back to us in a few weeks, which was much quicker than we expected. We just don’t have a bad word to say. Thanks Darren for capturing our day.”

Bethany & Josh | Your Big Day
Well, where to start?! Darren did an amazing job photographing our wedding in September. He captured every little bit of our special day and we are very happy with the results! He was very professional and we were comfortable having him around.
The delivery of the photos we were also impressed with and can’t thank him enough for capturing our wedding for us. Would definitely recommend and use again!

Frankie & Mitchell | Your Big Day
We can’t recommend Darren enough, he was brilliant and captured every part of the day we wanted. He made us feel so relaxed and took some amazing photographs. Clearly has lots of experience and really has an eye for detail.
We can’t thank him enough for the beautiful photos and for being such a pleasure to have on the day.

Allenka & Ian | Your Big Day
Thank you for capturing some beautiful moments and celebrating our wedding with our family. You were a pleasure to have around, non-intrusive and very professional. You snapped some fabulous photos! Thanks Darren.

Becki & Tom | Your Big Day
Official wedding photos are in and Darren, honesty, you are incredible.
You have captured our day perfectly and made me a little teary in all honesty seeing the amazing moments you captured. You listened to us and caught exactly what we were looking for - we cannot thank you enough for everything.
Anyone who needs photos go to Darren - he is such a talent.

Hayley & Ken | Your Big Day
We had Darren for our wedding and we highly recommend him. From start to finish he made us feel at ease. All our wedding pictures are amazing. We also had a photoshoot before the wedding to get used to the camera. Anyone looking for a photographer, we definitely recommend.

Emily & Michael | Your Big Day
Darren, we cannot thank you enough for being our wedding photographer. You have been brilliant from beginning to end and you went above and beyond our expectations. The photos were beautiful and we couldn’t have been happier with them.
We thank you so much and have already recommended you to a number of people!

Clare & Andy | Life Moments
Thank you so much for capturing all the special moments for Andy’s 60th. Darren is a pleasure to have involved with your special occasions; he asked what sort of photos we wanted - posed or natural - and was very accommodating. He fitted in around us and did his thing without you even knowing he was there.
The photos were amazing when he delivered them, just what we wanted. I would highly recommend you speak to Darren for any special occasions you need a photographer for.

Emma & Andi | Your Big Day
Words can not thank you enough, Darren, for capturing our special day.
The wedding pictures are amazing and brought tears to our eyes. The attention to detail was more than we could of ever imagined. Would highly recommend Darren for anyone’s special and intimate day. Thank you so much.

Natalie & Alan | Outdoor Studio
Darren - you are amazing! When I get to look through my pictures I almost shriek with delight.
From start to finish; the entire shoot was not only easy, it was fun and relaxing. Not only did you capture some truly beautiful pictures of our family but you put my little ones at total ease. Thank you for being so patient with us. You never fail to capture precious family memories with your extraordinary gift.
Darren has been our family photographer for a few years now and I would 100% recommend him. Never using anyone else for our pictures!

Hayley & Nathan | Life Moments
I would highly recommend Darren. Right from the moment I booked my session, I received great communication to ensure that I received the most from my shoot. Not only did I share what I was hoping for from my photos but Darren also produced some brilliant ideas that fitted the occasion I wanted to capture.
He is definitely a photographer to trust when wanting to cherish moments through lasting images. Darren was friendly and I could immediately see the passion he has for his work, which made the shoot very relaxing and filled me with confidence. The whole experience was truly exciting and something I will really remember. Every image that Darren produced was better than I had imagined. They really did capture everything I was hoping for and lots more in a very natural environment. I will definitely be using Darren again for future Life Moments.

Debbie & Matt | Your Big Day
Darren we can’t thank you enough for the fabulous photos of our wedding. You have captured our special day with great photos and special moments we will never forget.
The beautiful canvas you did for us and presentation box was very special. You are so professional in what you do and we thank you so very much .

Sophie & Steve | Your Big Day
Very professional and friendly service. Nothing was too much trouble. Very flexible and will tailor to your own personal requirements. Fantastic photographs at a good price.

Tanya & Marc | Outdoor Studio
Would really recommend Darren for family photos. It was really laid back and the kids absolutely loved it! Photos to keep forever.

Sian | Your Big Day
Nearly a week on from our wedding and I still can’t thank you enough for your amazing work!
I honestly squealed like a little girl looking at the taster pictures you put up. You’re an artist for sure and the professional yet laid back manner is so comfortable to be around. We’ve heard great things from our guests too regarding your methods and they all agree when we say you did a wonderful job. Can’t sing your praises enough.
Will be encouraging anyone to come to you. Thank you!

Amy & Simon | Outdoor Studio
The experience with Darren was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He was prompt and thorough in his communication, great with the kids on the shoot and produced great shots for us to choose from. My mum was delighted with the picture as a present for her 70th birthday.
Overall a great experience, would highly recommend Darren.

Paula & Karl | Life Moments
I was recommended you by your previous customers and as soon as I looked at your pictures I knew you were who I wanted to capture my boy’s special day at his christening and birthday. The quality of the pictures is outstanding, the atmosphere on the day was amazing: completely relaxed, even the staged photos were so relaxed. You were amazing with all the children and you really couldn’t of got any better pictures for me. You are such good value for money and most of the time we didn’t even notice you snapping away, which is amazing and this has captured some beautiful natural moments for memories forever. I really cannot thank you enough for your contact before and after the booking, the beautiful presentation, fantastic photos and such a quick turn around. You’re a real credit to yourself and such a lovely man. I’ll see you soon as you’re my go-to guy for any special event now, thank you so much!

Smitha & Manu | Life Moments
Darren has been wonderful doing the photography of our daughter’s christening. He was very patient considering how difficult it was to make a toddler pose for pictures. The pictures are beautiful and perfect once edited and presented to us. He did a great job capturing those precious moments for us. We highly recommend Darren. Very talented and professional.

Angela & Graham | PawTraits
When I received the photos and pictures for my 50th birthday present, I was absolutely delighted with them. The pictures are so good, I have never seen better pictures anywhere in my life.
The album of our dogs that you did was beautiful, as was the photo frame. Every time I look at the pictures it brings a tear to my eye, as we love our dogs so very much. Your work on these pictures was quite simply outstanding and we would recommend your services to everyone. Anyone who has a much loved pet would love the services that you provide. A picture lasts a lifetime and we are so grateful for the work you did on our behalf. Thank you so much.

Mike
A website without fantastic photography just doesn’t cut it now. In fact, the same applies equally to social media campaigns. After researching current trends; Darren quickly understood what I wanted, was able to interpret what I’d noted and created a bank of images for me that not only reflect the brand I wish to create but offer me flexibility. Finding someone like Darren who gets what you need is that important first stage.

Natalie & Alan | Life Moments
Thanks, Darren, for your patience and calming effect on Florrie and Dexter. You are a true professional and have captured some really beautiful pictures of our children. Lovely to have found someone who captures the true nature of our brood. I have already recommended you to many of my friends and family. We look forward to using you again later in the year.

Kayleigh | Outdoor Studio
We have used Darren a few times now and would definitely recommend him. He has captured some lovely pictures my whole whole family.

Emma | PawTraits
Darren is very professional in his work. He shows great patience. We were made to feel very relaxed and unhurried. The shots are very natural - not posed and uncomfortable. We would recommend him to anyone.

Andrew
We commissioned Darren to undertake a portfolio of work for our restaurant. He was very professional and his scrutiny on detail was superb. I would have no hesitation in recommending his photography.

Kath & Garry | Outdoor Studio
We have used Darren a few times now. He is patient with our young ones and creates a relaxed atmosphere. He has captured some great pictures and memories of our family. We cannot wait to use him again. We would highly recommend.

Emma | Outdoor Studio
If any of my friends are looking for a photographer, I would definitely recommend Darren. His photoshoots are amazing - you don’t even realise he has taken the photos. We have some very special photos to look back on. Thank you, Darren.
“We were delighted how Darren worked with us in capturing all the special moments of our wedding day. From the first time we met him we felt relaxed and comfortable. Darren’s experience put us at ease and he gave us lots of useful advice as to how he could deliver everything we wanted. We were then pleased to have the opportunity of a pre-wedding shoot which prepared us brilliantly for our big day.
Darren captured formal and informal shots of our family and friends throughout the day. Helpful, professional, skilful; he delivered fantastic photos that reflected everything we hoped for. From our arrival at the registry office in the morning to the sunset at our outdoor celebration venue, he captured so many fantastic memories that we continue to struggle to pick our favourite photographs. Darren is very much recommended.”

Theresa & Sam | Your Big Day
An outstanding service from the very beginning. Darren made the whole process easy and exciting. Completely love how original and authentic they are!
Darren captured the raw beauty in our photos and I cannot ask for a better person. Thank you for such an amazing experience!

Megan & Terry | Your Big Day
Absolutely perfect, very professional and a great eye. Thank you so so much for making our day so special. Fully recommend 100%.

Elaine & Mark | Your Big Day
Wow! Overwhelmed! Thank you so much for our brilliant photos of our wedding, really crisp and clear and brings back such happy memories. And such a pretty box to keep them in. A million ‘thank you’s.

Katie & Sean | Life Moments
We booked Darren to capture some very precious moments of our nine-week-old son. I gave Darren one mission: to get a picture of him smiling! I wasn’t disappointed as he captured not only this but many more precious, intimate and quite stunning photos of our baby. Darren took his time and worked around our son.
The whole experience was absolutely brilliant and I’m sure we will be using Darren again at another milestone. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you!

Kate & Will | Your Big Day
Brilliant service from start to finish, would definitely recommend for any event!

Jacqueline & Mark | Life Moments
Been to collect our photos today and once again we were not disappointed! Anyone who can make my children look angelic deserves a medal. Thank you so much, Darren, we are so happy with them.

Jean | Life Moments
His total attitude to his job, his attention to detail is amazing. I won’t hesitate recommending him to anyone that needs a photographer. Amazing work!

Von & Craig | Outdoor Studio
Thank you so much, Darren, for the prints. They all look lovely. Will definitely recommend Darren - brilliant photographer and makes you feel so at ease when having the photos taken.
Will be booking you again soon.

Cath | Outdoor Studio
Just received our lovely photos from a photoshoot that Darren did for our enormous family on the Bainland Park.
There were lots of people, including a baby, and terrible weather to sort and Darren did a great job in such a calm, friendly way that he put us all at ease.
Thanks Darren, great job, would definitely recommend.

Dawn & Rob | PawTraits
Our photoshoot with Darren was fantastic. He has a really calm and professional manner and really put our dog, Winston, at ease. We thoroughly enjoyed the shoot and would highly recommend him to others. The photos are excellent quality - we can’t wait to put them up!

Sarah & Dave | Outdoor Studio
I have known Darren for many years so would class him as a friend. However, on the day of our shoot he was very professional, he made us feel very relaxed and we had lots of laughs. The finished product was amazing as none of us are particularly photogenic! We made suggestions to him about backgrounds and Darren was open to our ideas too. He made the whole session relaxing and entertaining. I would recommend Darren as he is easygoing and a thoroughly nice chap.

Samantha | Outdoor Studio
I am really pleased with the results. Got some lovely photos which will take pride of place at home. Really took the time to get great photos. A toddler went a a toddler’s pace, very patient.
Great customer service as well.

Lauren & James | Outdoor Studio
Thank you for the lovely photography session. We are so pleased with the photos, it was hard to choose. They were all so good. Very happy customers.

Becky, Christians Against Poverty
Darren was a fantastic photographer to work with. He was quick to respond to our request and easy to communicate with via email and phone.
He was able to fulfil everything requested on the brief and provided the photos promptly and in a super organised format, which made them easy to use. A smooth, efficient, reliable process from start to finish!
Thank you Darren. Our clients really enjoyed connecting with you on the shoot as well!

Yvonne | Life Moments
Would like to thank you for our recent photoshoot that you did with my family. We were all very impressed with how relaxed you made us feel. You listened to what we wanted out of this and the pictures that we chose are amazing. Even got an unintended picture with the family dog, which has turned out to be our favourite.

Jacqueline & Mark | Outdoor Studio
From our first steps into married life to our little boy’s first steps (and everything in between!), Darren has captured every special moment for us and never fails to deliver. Thank you for the latest photos, Darren. As always, they are perfect. Highly recommended.

Natalie & Alan | Outdoor Studio
Wow! You have been such a pleasure to work with again and we really enjoyed our Outdoor Studio shoot. You and your photos are so beyond expectations. I love that you don’t just take pictures, you capture moments (the ones we don’t know you have taken). You are so incredibly talented and we are so lucky to have found you.

Kath & Garry | Outdoor Studio
We booked Darren after seeing some of his work from our nephew’s christening. We have wanted a family photoshoot for a little while now, with our little ones being so young. We had a lovely time. We are both quiet people and felt a little nervous about having our pictures taken. He made us feel relaxed and as though we were just having a family walk in the park. We have two little ones two and under and he was very patient with them. A very friendly person to work with. Thank you very much for our sneak peak pictures, they are amazing! Exactly what we were looking for! We would highly recommend and will book again in the future. Thank you.

Gillie
I contacted Darren with a strange request: my grandfather lived in the family home for 94 years but unfortunately, with him now in a nursing home, I thought it would be nice to have some photos done of the family home. Darren listened to my requests and took the photos and put them on to disc for me. So pleasant and professional. It was fantastic to see the end results and they are a perfect gift for the family to treasure for many years to come. Thank you so much.

Lauren & Sam | Life Moments
We were very impressed with the way Darren interacted with our little man. He was very patient with our little boy as he was a little unsettled. We could not be happier with the end result.

Sadie | Outdoor Studio
Thank you, Darren, for a fantastic session at Hubbard’s Hills. The photographs came out so well that it was a hard choice for the one as a surprise for my mum for her birthday. She was overjoyed when we gave it to her yesterday and she absolutely loves it. Thank you again for your great services and we will definitely be calling you again.

Jules | Outdoor Studio
My family had a shoot for a surprise for my 50th birthday and they are amazing. Would highly recommend to have a photoshoot. Thank you so much.

Rebekah & Shaun | Outdoor Studio
I can’t recommend enough! Darren took our wedding photos and our family photos. My eldest has autism and Darren took the time to make him relaxed so he could be himself, running about in the leaves, trying to catch fish with sticks, looking for conkers and even jumping in muddy puddles.

Char'lousi & Jamie | Life Moments
So super happy with our little girl’s 1st birthday photos. Darren took some absolutely stunning shots! Extremely professional and understanding with the moments we wanted to capture. Will be booking again!
“My husband and I chose Darren after a number of recommendations and positive reviews - we were not disappointed! Darren planned all of the photos we wanted with us and his attention to detail over how to get the best out of the venue was amazing. He met with us early on the day to get some wonderful set-up pictures and throughout the event every moment we wanted.
The pictures are incredible! He captured the spontaneous, genuine feel good laughs of everyone enjoying themselves with us hardly noticing he was there. He even snapped the mother-in-law smiling so he must be quick when he spots a good photo opportunity! Everyone has complimented the photos and how great they are.
Darren stayed well into the evening and just everything we wanted he delivered. I would wholeheartedly recommend Darren to anyone, I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to share my day.”
