Central Coast Wedding Photographer Reviews
Don't just take my word for it—explore the comments from a variety of delighted couples whose weddings I had the privilege of capturing.
“David absolutely nailed our wedding photography! He came recommended from our venue and in the craziness of wedding planning we didn't really even review his work, we just trusted the venue and booked him. It was the best decision ever. Not only are the images incredible, he made the whole experience fun and lighthearted, listened to what we wanted (we particularly wanted nice images with our baby before she got cranky!) and delivered tenfold, and had the images back to us in just over a week! Absolutely could not recommend more. Thanks again David for capturing our special day.”

“We highly recommend David who was amazing capturing the moments of our wedding. David was very professional, very organised and got every angle and emotion possible. He pursued with the weather to get all the shots we wanted. David produced beautiful photos with an awesome turn around time.
We are extremely happy thankyou David .”
- Mandy + Mark
“David captured it all and more! We asked David for some slightly artistic shots, to go along with capturing the rest of our day. I showed him some ideas and he certainly delivered. He made us feel comfortable (as we sometimes felt a little awkward - we are NOT generally posey people), and we were so happy with the entire experience. The speed in which we received the photos and their quality was exactly what we had hoped for. Thank you so much David for capturing our day exactly how we wanted.”
- Lyndal + Jesse
”Such bloody incredible photos!!! Thankyou so much, we absolutely love them. You captured us and our little boy so well. And that veil shot 👌👌
Thank you, and thank you so much for getting them to us so quickly.”
- Aimee + Josh
“David recently took our photos for our recent wedding, and we couldn't be happier with his work. I'm normally very uncomfortable having my photo taken, but David was so lovely, he made the whole process easy & stress free.
He was so unobtrusive that half the time you forget he's there, but he is, working hard to get the perfect shot. He was able to get the photos sent to us incredibly quickly too, which was fantastic.
All the photos look stunning, he was able to capture so many happy and unexpected moments. We highly recommended David to everyone, don't trust anyone else for your special day. 😊”
- Kat + Nick
“David did the most outstanding job with our wedding photos. He guided us (and the videographer) through the whole experience to create the most beautiful images that reflected so much love on the day. Everyone was gushing about how professional and beautiful the photos turned out. Cannot recommend him highly enough! If you want a wedding photographer, look no further.”
- Claudia + Matt
”Thank you David for perfectly capturing our special day and making us feel at ease from start to finish — it felt like having another friend there! We can't rate David and the Mystwood wedding team highly enough for being so professional and so friendly – everyone was not only so sweet and thoughtful to the marrying couple but also to our family and friends. David was also so quick to process the photos so we got to enjoy going through them all on our honeymoon! Everyone loved them, especially us!”
- Beth + Nav
“David shot our wedding and if I could rate him 100 stars I would, made me very comfortable talked us through everything made us laugh from the minute we met him, friendly, professional and down to earth. Highly recommended for your next event.”

Thank you again for your work!”

David was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Not only was he fun & very professional, his photos are some of the best i’ve have seen. David’s attention to detail is what really makes him stand out.
We are so happy with our wedding photos and would highly recommend David to anyone.
— Sally + Kieran
Dave shot our wedding in December 2021 at a friends property on the Central Coast NSW. His approach to the whole day was relaxed but professional. He put us at ease and asked us what we wanted, he actually listened and delivered some of the best photos my wife and I have ever seen. The colours he found, the locations he chose were transformed brilliantly into our final photos.
We have no hesitation in Recommending Dave for any subject or occasion you wish to capture to create beautiful, timeless memories.
— Ron + Jaque
Love the photos by David. He captured all the best moments of our special day and there is nothing more we could have asked for. He communicated well and made us feel so at ease throughout the day and this definitely came through with how we looked on the photos. We got the photos back in record time and now we can relive the best day of our lives over and over again. Highly recommend David to anyone looking for a photographer
Thank you David!
— Li Lynn + Andy
”This was such a nice surprise to see the wedding photos from last Thursday come through earlier than expected!. We’re so happy with the images and feel that you captured so many precious moments from our day. The day goes so quick, it has been lovely to look back on all the great memories.
You managed to get some great candid shots, the stand-out being the hilarious photo of my bridesmaid, Chi after being bit by something mid bridal party photoshoot 😄. I shouldn’t laugh but it’s a perfect example of how quick you are to spot a great photo moment!.
Thank you for your professionalism and direction, you made the whole process relaxing and enjoyable. We’ll cherish these photos forever, thank you!”
— EMILY + BRETT
”We are absolutely in love with the photos! Wow wow wow!! You have captured every moment so beautifully, Jack and I do not remember seeing you around taking these photos. You definitely were a fly on the wall! Thank you so incredibly much! You are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
— MELISSA + JACK
“David was so lovely and friendly, he allowed us to capture all the important moments but also caught little parts of our wedding we over looked. He works with you as a couple and will seek out the best position and lighting for incredible
Photos. I couldn’t believe when I looked at my album that I loved every single photo. He captured our wedding perfectly and we will be forever grateful to have amazing photos from him to re-live our special day.”
— BRIANA + RICHARD
“David is amazing! He has such a calm presence he made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day. He gave us direction without interfering with our natural expressions or emotions. He give us tips on how to stand etc but at the same time took the most beautiful candid, natural photos.
When we got our gallery back I was absolutely blown away! Every single photo was perfect. David captured Max and I as a couple so perfectly. The photos show such happiness and love. They captured parts of the day I didn’t get to really take in or see. Looking at the photos I was able to relive the day, every detail.
Would definitely recommend David. I’ll cherish these photos forever.”
— HAYLEY + MAX
“We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos!! We aren’t the most photogenic couple but Dave was guiding us every step of the way - reminding us about posture, telling us where to look, how to stand. So we are so excited to finally see awesome photos of ourselves not looking awkward. And then coupled with his artistic flair, we couldn’t be happier.
It wasn’t just the ‘perfect’ smiles he captured. It was the all natural smiles and reactions that happened in between moments.
We can’t thank him enough!!! Highly highly recommend.”
— KATE + JARRAD
“Trusting a complete stranger to capture your most important day knowing that you only get one shot and no “re dos” was definitely something I was very nervous about! Oh how I had no need for any nerves at all though!
The amazing team at EWWAT introduced me to David and after speaking to him prior to our recent October wedding I explained the vision I wanted to be captured and style of photos I had in mind. He kept this in his mind and was well prepared with a list of all the things I wanted on the day and made sure he captured everything perfectly while still making it all our own style. When I met him he was calm, organised and made me feel at ease straight away.
Nick & I are absolutely stoked with your work Dave and can not thank you enough. One of , if not the main highlight of our night was being able to get those sunset/night shots and so much gratitude goes out to you for capturing those photos along with the others.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for an amazing photographer.
Thank you Dave aka Mcdreamy haha! :)”
— LEALA + NICK
“We are so lucky to have David at our wedding as our photographer! He is such a gentleman and made sure ‘camera shy’ people like us to feel comfortable. His work is beautiful and we really love his creativity.
Thank you David !!”
— GINA + CHRIS
“David Maltby, what can I say - he is an extremely talented photographer..
We went with a destination wedding and hadn’t met David prior to the wedding so we really didnt expect the level of joy we had when we finally saw the photos.
There was a specific majestic vibe on our wedding day, it was stress free, so in flow and just easy to enjoy every minute - and can you believe David captured the FEELING of the day in each photograph?
He did!
There are some magnificent shots that were unique to our day, they are not just typical wedding photos and I know that we would have missed out on those if we hired anybody else..
David thinks outside the box and as an artist myself, I really appreciate the heart he puts in to his craft.
Don’t hesitate in booking him, it’ll be the best choice you can make.
Love your work David, and although it’s 7mths on from the best day - the memories will forever be fresh in our minds thanks to you!”
— KIRI + TRAVIS
“David not only is incredibly skilled in photography he is such a lovely person to be around! He has such a calming nature about him that it makes everyone around him more relaxed!
The pictures that I got back from David for my wedding are absolutely amazing and I couldn’t of imagined them being so beautiful, every single picture! He is a credit to the industry! Sometimes you don’t get time during your wedding to look at the small things (decorations etc) but not to worry David took pictures of absolutely everything! Also, he was super duper quick getting them back to me! I was so excited!
Thankyou for making our day that extra special!”
— CASEY + DANIEL
“David did our wedding at Mystwood and he is talented and professional and nothing was a problem for him to do for us. Our photos are just amazing, stunning, We couldn’t ask for anything better. David captured our special day the way we wanted it. We love every one of our photos. Memories we will have forever. If your looking for a photographer to capture your special day or a special event I highly recommend David, you won’t be disappointed with your photos. David has given us photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you David.”
— SHARON + MICK
“David shot our wedding photos and I couldn’t recommend him more highly! We are two awkward souls and were so worried about how our images would turn out, but David made us so incredibly comfortable and gave us the best guidance to get the most amazing pictures! There is not a single image we don’t adore! Thank you so much for making our wedding truly come to life in our images, David! We can’t wait to call you up in the future to get some more images done with you!”
— KAITLYN + TOM
“David was everything I could have wanted in a wedding photographer! Having only met him the day of our wedding, he was so easy going and made us feel so comfortable. He captured so many beautiful, candid moments from every angle and at times I did not even realise where he was! He respected my wishes when I explained I didn’t want anything too staged or unnatural. David also returned our photos to us in no time at all which was much appreciated and I cannot wait to start displaying them around our home. Thanks again David!!!”
— OLIVIA + ANTHONY
