# Dave Burgess Photography
Dave Burgess Photography is a wedding photography business based in Plymouth, serving couples throughout Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. Founded by Dave, a former Royal Marine, the business specialises in capturing authentic, relaxed wedding moments that prioritise genuine connection over staged formality.
Dave works alongside his second photographer Mary to document weddings with a distinctive style rooted in candid storytelling. Rather than imposing rigid structures, Dave reads the room with what he humorously calls his "internal radar 2000"—adapting his approach to capture unguarded moments between guests, playful interactions with children, tender exchanges between couples, and the natural flow of celebrations. He's equally comfortable being a fly-on-the-wall observer or diving into the dance floor action when the moment calls for it.
What sets Dave apart is his personality and approach to people. He prioritises making couples and guests feel at ease rather than anxious about being photographed. His background working with military weddings demonstrates his ability to handle formal occasions whilst maintaining an approachable, chilled-out demeanor. Client testimonials highlight his talent for beautiful composition, vibrant colours, and his value as a genuine presence at weddings—someone guests are happy to have around beyond his photographic duties.
The business attracts couples seeking authentic storytelling over traditional posed photography, with an emphasis on comfort, fun and real moments that reflect the true character of their celebration.
