"I am passionate about photography, I'm always seeing great shots even when I don't have my camera on me but rather than ramble on about how I've been interested in photography since the age of 8 I thought I would tell you a bit about me as a person.
I live in Greenside, a small village in Tyne and Wear where the farm animals outnumber the humans (almost). I live with my very patient wife, Pam and our two tremendous children Michaela and Ethan. When I'm not out photographing stuff or processing the images we like to make the most of our countryside, long walks with our dogs that never stop running.
I've been know to swing a golf club, generally badly and generally the people around me are in the danger zone, sorry to my father-in-law but the ball in the stomach was funny if not painful.
Having the photography as a full-time job really gives me the freedom to set my own working hours (usually about 18 hours a day!) and it's a great feeling being paid to be creative. Being a part of the greatest day of so many people's lives is a great honour and a responsibility I take very seriously. I work very hard to get the best shots, as anyone who's seen me doing my thing at a wedding will attest, but I also like to have fun and enjoy the banter, I'm certainly not one of those guys you'll see shouting at the wedding guests! And I will always let the guests take their own pictures or take pictures for them"
Documentary wedding photography is unique in its approach to a wedding, not contrived, not posed, it is however very difficult to do well. Many claim to provide this service however very few actually consistently achieve it. Documentary coverage means no intervention during the day, just observing and capturing those special moments. As such your images will reflect your personalities and the true emotions of the day, they will certainly not contain a series of posed,contrived,cliched images. The only posed images will be the group formals. The commitment to my clients is simple , to produce unique wedding images of a consistently high standard that will be treasured for a lifetime.
Photography is one of the most important aspects of your wedding day because it preserves your day forever. The sound of the music, the taste of the food, the fragrance of the flowers will remain as memories that fade over time, but your photos will be vivid keepsakes that can bring it all back. For this reason your pictures should be a work of art--a priceless collection of memories to pass on to your children.
We can also create slideshows for your reception or that can be played on ipods etc, to look at an example follow this link http://www.bowsa.f2s.com/page8.html
In addition to photography on your wedding day, we also offer engagement sessions, boudoir, trash the dress and day after sessions.
For details regarding our services and our competitively priced packages, please feel free to contact us with any questions or to set up a meeting. We would love to hear from you!
Wedding and Portrait photography
I have had the pleasure of knowing David since School. We have studied, worked and socialised together for nearly thirty years. He is one of the most honest, reliable of dedicated people I know. I have seen much of his work in photography and have always been amazed. He really manages to capture more than just an image he really gets to the heart of the matter. I do not hesitate to put David's name forward to anyone who is considering hiring a wedding photographer or in fact requiring pictures for any occasion, family portraits, etc.

I used Dave to photograph my wedding and I was extremely pleased with the results, he organised everything so we knew where we were meant to be. He got some great pictures from the grounds and lovely shots of Paul and myself. Loved his work and would highly recommend him.

I have used Dave's services for my children's portraits and for functions. Dave put my children at ease and the resulting photos looked natural and not contrived. Dave listened to my brief and carried the work out to a very high standard, I recommend him to my friend's and anyone in need of a good photograph er, excellent prints and excellent customer service.

We used Dave to photograph our daughter's wedding. He was brilliant, attentive and directed the whole day with a soft and gentle humour. The pictures were brilliant and much more than we could hope for. He really was great with little tips to help us through the day and even helped the boy's with their ties. Great all round service from a lovely guy
