Daniel McClane Photography

Dan is a professional, communicative and easy going individual. I would recommend Dan to any person hunting for a photographer who's approach is relaxed, authentic and unobtrusive with a real eye for capturing beautiful and dreamy moments. You won't find any forced smiles staring down the lens, as Dan prefers a to capture organic snapshots in time. When you look through the photos, it really shows the vibe of the day and tells the story of THAT moment. Dan clearly loves and cares about what he does. From our our first contact, to our continuing aftercare, he's been communicative via email, Whatsapp and telephone. Each time we've met him, he's been polite and open, immediately putting us at ease. It felt like he was an old friend rather than a photographer we'd met twice! Dan's turn around times are unbelievable. Within a couple of days of our wedding, we had hundreds of edited images to look through to relive the day. These images are also super easy to share with other loved ones. We've had plenty of comments from friends and family about how good his pictures are and we are incline to agree. It can be exceptionally daunting to trust someone to take pictures of such a special day. Just go and make the call and let Dan know what you are after. Dan one of those people who takes great pride in his work and relishes making ideas come to life.

We really liked the style of Dan's photography which is why we wanted him as our photographer and we are really happy with the amazing photos from our wedding. Dan was a very easygoing person and took beautiful photos for us, he was also very responsive and the turnaround time was really good for us to receive our photos. We would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Thank you!

Thank you thank you thank you Dan! Where to start... we just cannot recommend Dan highly enough as a wedding photographer! If you want your wedding pics to look really stylish & cool, but with minimal fuss on the day, then Dan is your man. We had an initial zoom with Dan a year or so ago when we booked him, and immediately knew that he completely understood us as a couple; we're not being particularly into having our photo taken, didn't want to have cheesy 'touching foreheads' style shots on the day, and also didn't want the pictures to take up too much of the afternoon! BUT.. at the same time, we still wanted to come away with some really stylised, idiosyncratic pictures to remember our day by. And Dan completely delivered on this! Without even being prompted, he implemented his own 'one-shot' rule, so we whizzed through the group shots & formal family photos. Dan was also the friendliest, kindest, most charming, down-to-earth man. We lost count of the number of people who said to us how excellent & relaxed he had been on the day. His chilled manner helped to keep everybody calm in the morning at the hotel and meant that taking our couple photos together wasn't nearly as awkward as we thought it might be! You realise that when choosing your wedding suppliers, it is as much about that person's people skills on the day as it is their ability to do their job. And Dan has people skills by the bucketload! He also has photography skills by the bucket load...! We are so overwhelmingly happy with our wedding pictures. He captured so many little moments from the day that we have loved looking back over, and all of the shots have been edited to perfection. Despite telling him numerous times that there was absolutely no rush to get the pics over to us, Dan spent a couple of full days editing immediately after our wedding day, and sent us a gallery of nearly 900 edited images only two days after the wedding. Naughty Dan ignored us! But it was a really really lovely way to start our honeymoon looking through them all! Dan is happy to travel around the country (he came down to our wedding in Whitstable from his home town of Wolverhampton), and even stopped in at the pub the night before to say hello and introduce himself. We wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Dan, and only wish we could do the day all over again, not least so that we could spend some more time in his charming company! THANK YOU DAN!

Couldn’t recommend Dan highly enough! Dan was fantastic. He originally caught our eye with his style (candid documentary style with great editing to enhance the shots), but he really exceeded our expectations. He was so great on the day - he coordinated things with control but was in no way overbearing. He gave little suggestions throughout the day too, which were really helpful and turned out perfectly, whilst also listening to all of our requests beforehand and on the day itself. Dan was also so friendly with all of our guests and many of them told us how great he was. Not only was he fantastic on the day, but the turnaround time for the hundreds of photos he took was unbelievably fast, which was really appreciated by us and all of our guests. Everyone commented on how beautiful the photos of the day were and we couldn’t be happier with how it all went. Could not recommend Dan highly enough to everyone! Guests at our wedding have now booked Dan to photograph their weddings after seeing Dan work his magic.

Dan photographed our wedding on 1st October 2022 and we couldn't be happier with the photo's and his work on the day! :) We wanted our photographs to be more natural and candid, along with a selection of posed shots and this is exactly what we got. The pictures capture every moment of the day so well, with some really great shots of some of the entertainment we had arranged. Dan is a great guy; friendly, calm, fun and lovely and he fit in to our wedding just like a friend or family member. Everyone said how great he was and we've had many compliments on the pictures. The turnaround time was great! To have the pictures back just a few days after the big day was really special. We went on honeymoon straight after our wedding and met other couples who had just got married and they couldn't believe we had out pictures back already. Would highly recommend!!

Dan has an amazing skill of capturing exactly the right moment at the right time. He captured our day entirely, from the outfits, our vows, the 1940’s singers, the drag artist, the circus performers and every single guest not to mention the flowers and food. I don’t know how one man seemed to be everywhere all at once, that’s an art. Dan is so easy to work with, and really understood what we wanted, his care and attention and attentiveness made him perfect for our day, take it from someone who detests his photo being taken! If you have the chance to book Dan, please do, I promise he will be the photographer for you

Dan was lovely, very patient with us, we only had a small wedding party but Dan still managed to find those hidden moments, his style is to capture those secret moments as well as the more formal shots and it's those captured moments that really stay with you, they are the essence of your day and make it more memorable, becoming in way a running documentary of your day so you don't forget a thing! Amazing photos and a very professional service!

Dan was so personable and friendly, it felt like having another one of our friends with us taking photos. He put us both at ease so the results were some really natural and relaxed photos which is just what we were after. It comprised classic shots for the Bride and Groom pictures, some more contemporary artistic shots and some great dance floor photos that captured the flow of light and movement. Dan blended seamlessly into the background and was accommodating to all our requests. He was incredibly professional and the photos were with us in a matter of a few days which blew our minds with the quality. We would highly recommend him for any occasion you’re looking to book. We couldn’t have been more happy with the service we received. Thank you so much Dan!

From the moment we first spoke to Dan about our wedding, we knew he was the guy for us. His eye for candid shots was just the vibe we were looking for. Nothing felt forced, he really captured our day in all its natural happiness! We'd heard horror stories of photographers being sticklers for schedules but Dan was the most relaxed, easy going guy, a real breath of fresh air who kept us so calm and comfortable on our day. Nothing was too much effort and when I say he worked, wow the guy worked tirelessly. He did not stop. His love and passion he has for his profession shows in the quality of images he captures. The venue, our guests and other suppliers we had on the day also sang his praises on just how lovely he is. Dan, we will forever be grateful to you for capturing our day so spectacularly. Thank you so much 💖

We were absolute thrilled with the photos we received from Dan of our wedding. His approach is exactly what we wanted, relaxed, friendly and discreet. So many of our guests commented about what a great photographer he was, making them feel relaxed, and was so inconspicuous. Dan blended into our wedding and felt like a part of our friends, and someone we had know for years. The communication leading up to the wedding was brilliant, nothing was too much for him. He spent time getting to know us and on the day Dan felt like a friend and a guest, his manner is professional, fun and friendly. We are thrilled with the results and can not recommend him enough, all our guests have loved seeing the photos, we were so excited to get some in frames. I was a little worried about feeling on edge having y photo taken so many time, but Dan quickly put us both at ease and made us feel too relaxed and non 'Gorky' to quote my mum, on the photos. The turn around that Dan managed to do, on getting the digital album of fully edited photos back to us was so fast, three days max, it was so exciting logging on while we were on our honeymoon to see the photos. If you're thinking of booking Dan, do! he is without a doubt a fabulous wedding photographer and you will have the best time working with him on your wedding day. And the photos are sure to look incredible. Thank you Dan! we hope to keep in touch :) Rachel and Ross
