We met Darren during the Best Shoot Ever competition in Mongolia, and we feel so blessed that he was the one to take our pre-wedding photos and that we could journey with him through the 7 days in Mongolia!
He has a very keen eye for good shots and pays a lot of attention to small details like how the dress falls, our expressions, and even down to where our hands go when we pose. His photos are beyond amazing and he was even able to work with the other couples and give his best every single minute! He will always give any idea a shot, even when that means that he only gets 2 hours of sleep and he has to stand outside in the freezing cold for an hour. He takes great pride in his work and puts in the hours and years to perfect his craft, at great sacrifice.
Most of all however, we feel like after the shoot with him, he became like family because of all the awesome memories we shared creating epic shots, his warm, (very) excitable personality and the fact that he is truly the coolest. We feel that the shoot with him gave us many memories and many many epic shots that gave us a huge boost to start off our marriage. I believe this is only the start of a long term relationship with him because he is really that good.
You can stop looking around for other photographers now, you've already found THE ONE!
Let us first tell you that we absolutely love our engagement photos so much that we look at them all the time. Unusual you might say? Yes, we hardly hear our friends say that. And yes, our engagement shoot in Penang was just that awesome! Darren and Jade are absolutely God-sent. They are a talented couple who are really passionate about what they do. Their passion for photography truly translates through their lenses. This is evident through our beautiful engagement photos which won two WPPI awards. Darren and Jade's professional and friendly personalities made them easy to work with. Our two day shoot with them was filled with laughter and great moments captured forever in picture frames set up in our living room. In the end, Darren and Jade just made the shoot so effortless and enjoyable that you would actually want to take your pre-wedding shots again and again! One last (but very important) point, they have a special "eye" for composition, that makes their shots truly special, shots that you can't help but take a second look.
I honestly think Darren and Jade are two of the best photographers I know! They really know how to capture the important (and rare) moments and do it so effortlessly. What my husband and I really liked about them was how they made it such a fun experience for all of us, including our daughter (who was at the time 7 months old)!! She usually hates strangers but was smiling ear to ear when Darren and Jade were around because they really knew how to make her happy. I was almost shocked to see how comfortable she looked while Darren was taking photos of her!
We totally LOVED the photos they took for us in Japan - they all came out beautiful and so artistic - and we are so glad to have worked with Darren and Jade for our special trip. I would recommend them to my friends and family in a heartbeat because I know they'll do a fantastic job!! Thank you Darren and Jade for such a great photo session. It was so much fun and we appreciate all your hard work!!
Darren and Jade are simply amazing! We got to know them through a mutual friend and the moment we sat down to chat, we knew that they were the ones for us! They approach photography with such fine detail and you can definitely see the passion they have, igniting within their eyes!!
It was sooooo much fun during the shoot where they had a very keen eye to ensure that the photos were captured perfectly. They were constantly super encouraging during the shoot and always gave clear directions in order to capture the best shots. None of our photos felt forced and they were able to capture the most candid photos with the best lighting/scenery!
We wanted to ensure that we had a meaningful shoot and did a basketball themed shoot - initially we were not sure if they were up for it, but it turns out that they were 100% game and ended up being even more excited then we were! Along with that, we wanted to use a keyboard for our 2nd shoot and they were completely open to new ideas and the usage of any props. Truly the most sporty, adventurous and also perfect photographers!
If you are looking for wedding/pre-wedding photographers, look no further!! Just get them and you won't regret it!
We had the pleasure of having Darren and Jade take our pre-wedding and wedding shoots in Melbourne and we wouldn't have wanted anyone else to capture our special day! They were amazing, their enthusiasm is infectious and they make everyone feel instantly relaxed while they smile and snap away! Our family and friends all loved having them around, they were a part of our wedding from the early morning until the very end. Thanks again for the beautiful and fun photos, Darren and Jade - you have truly captured the spirit of our wedding and we will always flip back to these photos with a smile.
