Marquee Wedding Photography Review from Charlotte

MARQUEE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY:
LOVE IS IN THE AIR .. CHARLOTTE AND GRAEME PHOTOGRAPHED BY DIRK VAN DER WERFF

Reviews of my work as a wedding photographer is the lifeblood of my business.
We all know that recommendations are the best form of business referral, better than any adverts, social media, website or blog, so it's a source of great comfort that many of my brides and grooms, for whom I am now photographing their friends weddings or their own children, are happy to write a review of my 'performance' at their wedding .. and it usually makes me go very red too!
I photographed Charlotte's wedding to Graeme at Chester le Street and in a beautiful marquee at her parents home in Rickleton, Tyne and Wear

CHARLOTTE AND GRAEME IN THEIR MARQUEE DURING THEIR WEDDING

"From the initial meeting with Dirk I just knew he had to be our photographer. My husband-to-be and myself were nearly sent to sleep by a couple of other photographers we had met, showing us weddings albums with photo after photo of 'posed' shots and the 'traditional family' photos. This is exactly what we didn't want, so when we met Dirk he was a breath of fresh air! He was so enthusiastic and took his time to talk to us and also listen to what we wanted from our photo's, and once we had looked through the examples of his work, we already had him booked.
We were quite nervous about the pre-wedding shoot we had planned a few weeks before the wedding but there was no need to be nervous at all, he put us at ease and we just spent the afternoon chatting away and getting to know each other.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR FOR CHARLOTTE AND GRAEME

CHARLOTTE FINISHED GETTING READY IN THE LIVING ROOM AT HOME BEFORE HEADING TO THE CHURCH AT CHESTER LE STREET

During the wedding day, Dirk arrived at my mum and dads house to get started. He captured some of my favourite shots during this time to our arrival at the church. The day went perfectly and this is reflected in our photos. At one point we were taken away to get some shots in a neighbouring garden - we had initially discussed with Dirk that we didn't want to be away from our guest too long or we might miss the action! Dirk understood this and we were only gone about 15 minutes. Dirk's entire day must of lasted at around 11 hours, from arriving at 11.30am to leaving at well past 10pm to get some action shots of the ceilidh.

BEST SHOT OF THE DAY ... CHARLOTTE TURNS HER BACK ON PHOTOGRAPHER DIRK VAN DER WERFF

Literally every guest we spoke to after the wedding commented on how fantastic he was throughout the day, saying what a great personality he has. Dirk isn't someone to fade into the background, he gets involved in the celebrations and talks to other guests. One guest even said she thought he was part of the family as he blended in so well.
Whilst on our honeymoon on Boracay Island in The Philippines we got word that Dirk had uploaded some of our photo's on Facebook.
Even though it was our honeymoon, we couldn't resist heading to the nearest internet café and logging on and we were over the moon with the results! 

CHARLOTTE AND GRAEME ENJOY THE CAELIDH IN THE MARQUEE AT THE END OF THEIR WEDDING CELEBRATIONS

Dirk must of known how excited we were to see the photos, so on the day we returned from our honeymoon, he travelled to our home that evening with 400+ final edited hard-copy proof prints in a presentation box of the photos he'd taken. They were better than we ever expected, and tell the story of our day in pictures!
I would recommend Dirk to anyone - particularly if your looking for more natural pictures.
Graeme's best man and fiancé were so impressed with Dirk that they have booked him for their wedding next year!"
