I’ve just received this email from Claire and Miles. Thanks guys!

“One word sums Real People Photography up – AMAZING.

From the very start Darren put us both at ease and his organisation and planning of the day was excellent.

About a month before our wedding he came and walked round the venue, chatted to us about what photos we wanted and obviously noted a few good spots of his own!. He than clarified it all in email with estimated timings. He arrived in good time on the day, getting some nice shots of the dress and shoes. Even my dog, who doesn’t normally like strangers, was obviously put at ease by him as he didn’t bark at him that much!! Darren set us up against some amazing backgrounds – that we would never have thought about, He climbed in to the back of a truck and even up a ladder that was fixed to a tree, to get some incredible shots!! He even managed to get a brilliant action shot of my dog weave in and out of some poles! Children, horses, dogs we had it all and nothing phased him!

Other than the set family and posing photos that we did we did not know that Darren was there clicking away. He was always polite and cheerful and very easy going. We now have a set of photos that really capture the emotion of the day. I would definitely recommend Real People Photography.

Truly AMAZING.”

From start to finish, our experience of Darren Wingham as our Wedding Photographer was totally amazing. He was professional and courteous and altouugh my husband and I used to hate having our photographs taken, Darren instilled confidence and poise in us both!

On the day itself, he was prompt and kind – even taking the time to photograph my very heavily pregnant hairdresser and our dog! Nothing was too much trouble and he was fanstasic in his dealing with us and our large wedding party. No-one felt that he was intrusive in his approach and they enjoyed posing when asked!

When we saw the photos, they brought us to tears – the whole day was brought back to us in beautiful pictures. The music overlaying the dvd was so appropriate and very cleverly done!

I would thoroughly recommend Darren and Real People Photography to anyone – so glad we found him to capture the magical moments of our special day!

“Before the big day Darren was completely flexible and receptive to our ideas, which made him stand out. This made him particularly easy to work with during a high stress time. He took time to understand exactly what we wanted and then offered suggestions which helped enormously, and came up with some really artistic ideas.

He was fun and easy to work with on the day and stayed unobtrusive. He was also flexible to our changes plans on the day itself.

We expected a long wait to see the shots but we were pleasantly surprised to see the pictures quite soon afterwards. When we did they easily exceeded our expectations and continue to give us much pleasure. We love the photos, especially some taken on the way to reception and they are a fantastic memento of the day.

Darren comes highly recommended.”

Liz and Derek's wedding.

“Real People Photography stood out for us from all its competitors as they offered a little something extra to the standard wedding photography package.

Liz and Derek's wedding.

We met Darren early on a Saturday morning in November at our chosen venue, the weather was rather wet and miserable and Darren had travelled from his home some 60 miles away for our first meeting.  It certainly didn’t dampen his spirits as he came across as extremely personable and enthusiastic as we walked around the venue.  He took time in listening to our requirements and added plenty of wedding photography ideas himself.

On the big day Real People Photography blended in very well amongst the wedding guests and captured some amazing natural shots.  He is very much a ‘people’ photographer, bringing out  the  character, personalities and warmth in all his subjects with impeccable timing.

The Photo-Booth option,  which Real People Photography also offer, was a fantastic idea which tagged very nicely onto the end of the day, enabling our friends and families to make the most of having professional portraits taken in a studio environment beit formal or fun, it certainly went down very well and finished off the day very nicely.

Overall we were very impressed with the results and thought the DVD was put together beautifully.  We would highly recommend Real People Photography.”

“Dear Darren, Thanks you so much for our beautiful pictures. You were fantastic on the day and kept everyone relaxed and the photos show what a perfect day we had.

Everyone has commented on the great shots, especially in the field and we loved showing everyone the slide show.

Thanks again for everything.

Helen & Jamie.”

“From the moment we met Darren he filled us with confidence that he was a wedding photographer that understood what we wanted and had the expertise to deliver it. We wanted lots of candid shots that captured the moment of the day and he managed this better than we could’ve ever expected.  He took time to meet us at both wedding venues to make sure he knew what wedding photography shots we wanted on our big day.

On our wedding day he was excellent. He had the people skills to build rapport with everyone, making us all feel relaxed. He also went above and beyond what we expected of him. For example, when the reception was starting I told him he could go home but he insisted on staying and getting a few more pictures. Later, he grabbed Adam and I to take us outside to get a fantastic shot with the sunset behind us. That photo ended up on our thank you cards and we’ve had so many compliments about it.

Little touches like that made Darren exceed our expectations by a mile and we have no hesitation in recommending him – in fact we already have!! We were amazed how many excellent photos there were, he did much more than point and shoot, he had the technical knowledge to really get beautiful shots. The quality of the prints, the DVD and the album he produced was excellent and such good value for money!”

“We found Real People Photography fantastic to work with. Darren was so accomodating and spent time with me at the venue looking for the best place to set our photographs, asking staff how the grounds would look at the time of the wedding.

After the formal photographs we really can’t remember the photographs being taken which resulted in some of the best images of people being relaxed and enjoying themselves.  Darren’s enthusiasm from start to finish was fantastic and he made us feel so comfortable that we had no doubts or worries.  Darren was the first and only photographer we spoke to we felt so confident that Darren “got” us!”
