I’m Damian, a Hoyland Nether wedding photographer specialising in relaxed, documentary-led wedding photography. I put couples at ease, capture candid moments and offer bespoke albums.
Hi — I’m Damian, the face behind DS Wedding Photography, based in Hoyland Nether. I specialise in wedding photography and my work centres on one simple belief: your wedding photos should feel effortless, honest and timeless. Whether I’m blending into the background as the ‘polite ninja’ or gently guiding you into natural poses, my aim is to capture real moments that let you relive the emotions of the day. My style is rooted in documentary wedding photography but with a warm, creative twist. I focus on candid storytelling — the laughter between speeches, the quiet looks during a walk, the small details you worked so hard on — while still creating a handful of beautiful, natural portraits you’ll be proud to hang on the wall. My editing is classic and natural so your images stay fashionable for years to come. Working with me feels like inviting a calm, friendly photographer to be part of your day. I prepare each wedding as if it were my own, building trust through clear communication and a relaxed energy. I guide couples with simple prompts rather than stiff poses, helping even camera-shy pairs feel comfortable and look their best. I also support flexible timelines so photos don’t interrupt the flow of your celebration — instead they become a welcome pause to enjoy a quiet moment together. I’m proud to offer more than just digital galleries — bespoke wedding albums from Nphoto are available to turn your story into a tactile family heirloom. Many couples tell me they love holding an album and seeing the feelings from the day come back in an instant — that’s exactly the emotion I strive to preserve. While wedding photography is my speciality, I also collaborate closely with a trusted videographer for couples who want short video highlights, and I capture shareable iPhone clips on the day for instant moments to post. These are offered as complementary options to enhance your wedding story, but my primary expertise remains creating exceptional wedding images. If you’re a relaxed, fun-loving couple in Hoyland Nether or anywhere in the UK who values natural, emotion-filled photography, let’s have a chat. I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can give every couple the attention they deserve — I’d love to hear about your plans and help you tell your story.
