Daniel Burton Photography

Daniel Burton Photography is a specialist wedding photographer based near Burton upon Trent (Castle Donington / DE74). With an award‑winning eye for emotive storytelling and a relaxed, documentary approach, Daniel focuses squarely on weddings — capturing the real moments, the laughter, the tears and the party you’ll want to relive. Why choose Daniel? His photography is naturally unobtrusive: he works to make you feel comfortable so your wedding day stays about living the moment, not posing for endless pictures. Daniel combines a documentary instinct with creative portraiture when the moment calls for it — think natural, story-led photos with the occasional stylised shot and a twilight walk for those intimate couple images. He’s proud to be family friendly (both Daniel and his partner are dads), so integrating little ones and managing the inevitable chaos comes naturally. How he works: every booking starts with a pre-wedding chat — a friendly, no-pressure consultation so he knows your plan, personalities and priorities. Many couples opt for a pre-wedding or engagement shoot to get used to being photographed; Daniel uses that time to build rapport so you’re relaxed on the big day. On the wedding day Daniel blends candid documentary coverage with gentle direction for group and couple moments, always mindful to keep you with your guests as much as possible so you actually enjoy your own celebration. Added value: Daniel offers complementary drone shots (weather and venue permitting) and is a licensed A2 pilot with insurance. He also collaborates closely with his videography partner under The Daniel’s Studios for couples who want both photo and film — a seamless way to preserve the day in both formats. Albums, USBs and wall art are available to present your images in heirloom quality. Location & reach: based in the East Midlands close to East Midlands Airport and the M1, Daniel is well placed to cover weddings across Burton upon Trent, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and the rest of the UK, as well as destination weddings. If you want a wedding photographer who prioritises storytelling, authenticity and a relaxed experience on the day, Daniel Burton Photography specialises in delivering those professional wedding photos that make you smile, laugh and sometimes cry — the ones that truly feel like yours.
