With all of the Covid rules this year, my travel requirements kept on changing.
I had several photographs declined for my new blue passport. Here, I was met with such a friendly and enthusiastic response. Not only did I receive my photos but the codes needed by the passport office, within twenty minutes and I got my new passport the next day.
I would definitely use again and recommend.
Thank You

A very professional high quality experience, Josh really captured my sons personalities in the pictures and I'm over the moon with the finish of the photos, viewing the images in the cinema room was lovely too, definitely recommend and will definitely be back.

Josh took some photos of me in the studio and in an outside setting. He couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating from the start to the finish. Nothing was too much trouble and he was very professional considering the light for the outside shots with professional guidance along the way. The results were fabulous. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Highly recommend these guys! Took my baby boy for his ‘first year’ photo shoot and the photos are amazing! Josh is fantastic with the little one. The photos are truly something I am going to be able to cherish for the rest of my life.

He also had a way at putting you at ease and making it fun when your getting your photos taken, we have had so many compliments on our photos i would definitely recommend david lawson photography

We can't thank Josh enough for the two photo shoots that we recently had taken at the studio. One was for my sons Graduation, the photos are fabulous. The second photo shoot was for my daughter. All of her photos are stunning, so hard to choose. Josh is a very friendly young man, he puts you at ease straight away. He's very professional, we would highly recommend him to anyone.

Wow! I can’t put into words how much it means to us to have Josh as part of our wedding day and photographing it all for us. We’ve only received a preview and I can already tell I am going to LOVE the pictures. Everyone commented on the day how professional Josh was, he was there from getting ready all the way to after our first dance and we feel so honoured to have had him do our wedding photography, worth every penny and if we were to do it all over again - we wouldn’t have anyone else. If I could leave more than 5* I would, absolutely fantastic am thank you once again! Xx

I have recently had a photoshoot done for my daughters. It was a brilliant experience for them, Josh was fantastic. The photos are beautiful! I will definitely be back for more photos of them as they get older! Thank you again.

Delighted with the Graduate package we purchased! Firstly Josh was so lovely! Our son has Autism and he gets really anxious about new things ( well you don't graduate every day) but Josh was amazing with him and us! He went out of his way to make us all feel relaxed and totally at ease. We were amazed how smoothly things went! Quickly got an e mail with photos and they were beautiful! We are delighted . Josh kept in constant contact and honestly nothing was too much trouble. The package was amazing value and our friends and family couldn't believe how much we got for our money plus the graduate

Just picked up my photographs from David Lawson studio's from a photo shoot I had with my beautiful Granddaughter. I have to say that Josh was absolutely amazing and put me at ease from the start. I don't like having my photograph taken and never for a second thought I'd like any of the ones I was in but to my absolute joy I now have a beautiful picture of myself and my Granddaughter which takes pride of place in my living room. I would highly recommended a visit to have a fun photo shoot with your loved ones. Fantastic professional service, high quality pictures and great value. Thank you Josh
