Dave Harford Photography

Dave Harford is a wedding specialist based in Great Malvern, GB, who brings a documentary storytelling approach to wedding photography. Published and highly commended in national competition, Dave focuses on capturing the real, candid moments that make each wedding unique — the looks, laughter, quiet exchanges and joyful chaos that become treasured wedding photos. Why choose Dave Harford Photography? Dave combines an observational eye with a warm, people-first manner. He’s a friendly, approachable photographer who blends into the day so couples and guests can relax. That means more natural, unposed images — the kind of professional wedding photos that feel honest and timeless. Dave takes particular pride in engagement and bridal photography that complements full-day coverage, telling a complete story from preparations to first dance. What makes his approach special is a balance of documentary instinct and careful craft. Dave scouts light and moments, uses colour and black & white to create variety, and spends time in editing to deliver images with the polish they deserve. He treats each wedding like a personal story to be told: candid reportage for emotion, selective direction for beautiful portraits, and thoughtful sequencing so the final album or gallery reads like the day itself. How Dave works with couples: start with an informal chat — face-to-face, phone or video — to understand your day and priorities. From that conversation he tailors his coverage to match the atmosphere you want, quietly capturing candid moments while stepping in for relaxed couple or bridal portraits as needed. He’s fully insured and professional, and proud to travel across the UK to photograph weddings. Although wedding photography is his core speciality, Dave also shoots engagement sessions and offers additional photography for family or portraits when they naturally tie into your wedding plans. His background in landscapes, drone and night photography informs his composition and use of light, giving a creative edge to wedding scenes. If you’re seeking a wedding day photographer in Great Malvern who values authenticity, storytelling and a friendly client experience, Dave Harford Photography offers professional wedding and engagement photography that preserves the emotion and personality of your day.
