We found Martin and Jo via a wedding forum, they weren't local to us but their friendly manner and great website left me in no doubt as to who we wanted to photograph our special day. We weren't disappointed, I don't really like having my picture taken but they put me at ease almost immediately. 

The photo's (hundreds of them!) were amazing, some truly magical shots, everyone was so impressed by them. The storybook itself was incredible, the amount of work put into it was second to none and I can't stop looking through it. Martin and Jo were in constant contact and we were never sat there wondering what was happening.

I don't hesitate in recommending Dobege photography to anyone and everyone.

A huge thank you for capturing our perfect day, in a perfect way.

Laura & Brian x - Sopwell House Hotel, Hertfordshire

Thank you so much for all of your hard work and professionalism; not only on our big day, but before and after as well.  From the moment we met you we knew you were the right people to capture our day.  You were very friendly and explained everything clearly.  We felt that nothing was too much trouble.  You really put our minds at ease!

On the actual day you were a great support for us and we really enjoyed having our photos taken.  We were particularly impressed that you managed to get every shot from our huge wish list!  Even though the weather was terrible you still managed to get us out for the bridge shots that we so desperately wanted.

We were really excited to see the album online when we got back from honeymoon, every picture told the story of our big day and bought memories flooding back.  The proof book was great, all of our friends and family thought it looked like a glossy wedding magazine, and it really helped us in choosing the photos we wanted for our album.  The album itself is amazing, we look at it all of the time and relive our special day!

Thanks,

We had the most amazing wedding day, full of tears laughter and happiness, Joanna and Martin captured all of these emotions within our album.

Right from the start, when I was sat in the Hairdressing Salon, and Shane was checking in at Reception, Joanna and Martin went to work inobtrusively, quietly capturing the begining of our special day, ensuring that they photographed all our family and guests in the reportage way that we requested.

It felt like Joanna was part of the wedding party when she was photographing me, my mum and my bridesmaids before the ceremony, taking in every single moment without making us feel like there was actually a photographer in the room.

The emotions that Martin captured during the ceremony were amazing, and looking back through the album now, makes me feel like I'm still in the 'day'.

We would whole heartedly recommend Dobege Photography for your special day, we couldnt have chosen better photographers to keep our day alive within our beautiful album.

Helen & Shane - Midland Hotel Manchester

Wow!!! What a day we had. A perfect location on a perfect summers day with all the people that mattered to us in the world. We had great expectations of how we wanted the day immortalized and were not disappointed.

Before the day Martin and Joanna met with us several times to ensure they knew exactly what we wanted. We wanted a relaxed atmosphere and a storybook of the day.

On the day they were as flexible as we wanted; stayed with us throughout the day; provided structure when needed for the formal photos and felt like guests more than the 'hired help'

Afterwards, the photos blew us away; and the editing was perfect. Joanna had some brilliant ideas without taking over, giving us complete control over how the finished album would look. Nothing was too much trouble. Even on the third draft!

Martin and Joanna thankyou so much for creating the perfect album that we will be proud to show our grandchildren.

Our wedding day was 15th August 2008, and like most people, we had a budget however, we didn't want to cut corners on our photographs! We found Dobege Photography by pure luck on the web. We sent an email and an hour later Martin contacted us by phone. We were most impressed by the speediness of their interest and that was how we remained feeling throughout the whole build up to the wedding and the actual wedding day was amazing!

Our photographs are amazing and our DVD is fantastic. Our proof book is so professional that people thought I was carrying around a wedding magazine!

Joanna and Martin take so much pride in their work, the results are fabulous, they are extremely professional at the same time so easy going. They made us feel so relaxed, we enjoyed the day even more and the photo session went incredibly quickly because we were enjoying it so much!

We would whole-heartedly recommend Dobege Photography as they are not only professional photographers but a warm, approachable couple who want the upmost best for their clients.

Donna & Ian - Worlsey Courthouse

We would both like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work on the day of our weddings

Everyone agrees the photos are superb and we really feel that you captured the essence of the day perfectly, even down to including the panicky moments on the mobile phones to chase missing relatives.

The proof book looks really professional and we are taking time to choose which of the many great photos to include in our album.

Many thanks once again, we would definitely recommend your services to anyone looking for a photographer.

Best Wishes Chris & Nicola - Cranage Hall, Holmes Chapel

We happened upon Martin and Jo by chance after an internet search and were extremely lucky to have found them.  A main concern for us was an over-bearing photographer who took charge of the day however Martin and Jo were the complete opposite.  They were extremely relaxed and unimposing whilst still managing to ensure they captured the whole day perfectly – we have never seen anyone work so hard!  The result was amazing photos which transport us back in time every time we look at them!  Our guests were also very impressed and many commented on how relaxed they felt with Martin and Jo.  We would definitely recommend their services and only wish we could do it all again!

Ann-Marie & Anthony McManus – The Deanwater Hotel, Woodford, Cheshire

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Martin and Jo.  Our wedding pictures are absolutely stunning and capture our day perfectly! All our family and friends have enjoyed seeing them and we now have the fun of selecting our album pictures.
 
From the first time we spoke to you we have felt that nothing was too much trouble and on the day you put us perfectly at ease (despite the fact that we both fear having pictures taken!).
 
Thank you so much for all of your support (and answering all of my silly neurotic questions!) and we can't wait to see the final album!

Kitley House, Plymouth, Devon.

Update: The album has arrived safe and sound and looks AMAZING! So so pleased with it! Thank you both so much for all of your help and support and letting me ask silly questions all the time! Its very much appreciated!

Dear Martin and Joanna,
 
Thank you so much for your hard work and patience on the day, we really appreciated you both staying on for the extra time in the evening to get the extra shots even though you had officially finished!

Thank you also for your effort in designing the album. We realise this must have been difficult with the vast amount of photos we had.
The album looked absolutely amazing, we still keep looking over it even now :)

Thanks Again

Thank you so much for the fantastic work you did at our wedding.

You were great to have around on the day an we love the finished results.
 
Joanna & Chris - Shrigley Hall

From the initial online enquiry that we submitted to the present day you have been nothing but professional.  You've quite literally pampered to our every need.
 
Your relaxed style of photography made us both feel at ease and enabled the best day of our lives to be remembered forever through the photographs.  You can really see how the day panned out and progressed through the magnificent photos that you have produced.
 
Everybody who has seen the proofs in the booklet say how fantastic they are and the DVD slideshow set to music has led to some people shedding a little tear (not least me!).
 
We can't thank you enough for the work that you have done so far and just can't wait for the final album to be finished.  Thank you ever so much for all you have done!
 
Best wishes,
 
Emma & Mike - St Peters, Hale Cheshire and Masonic Hall, Clay Lane Timperley

Choosing Martin and Joanna to do the photos at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. They were both fantastic on the day and everyone was really pleased with the photos afterwards. So many people have commented on how lovely the photos are and how they perfectly captured everything about the day. We will definitly be recommending Dobege Photography to family and friends in the future.

Dear Martin and Joanna

Just a quick note to thank you both very much for your excellent, professional service at our wedding recently.

Everything went smoothly and several of our guests commented on how inconspicuous you were.

We are delighted with the results so far and look forward to the albums, etc.

With many thanks again.

Dear Martin and Jo!

We are so happy we chose you to photograph our wedding, we had so much fun posing for our photographs and we couldn't wait to see how they turned out when we got back from honeymoon!
Everything felt really relaxed and so easy for us, it was an absolute joy.
When we saw our photos we were absolutely delighted - they look perfect!
When we first met last year we knew you were going to be perfect for our wedding day, you explained everything to us really clearly and we always felt really confident we were getting the best team for the job. Our friends have commented how amazing our wedding photos look and have asked who our photographers were, so we have strongly recommended Dobège to them!

Thanks so much!

David and Jenny - Peckforton Castle, Tarporley, Cheshire

Dear Martin and Jo,
 
It is now just over a year since we met you for the first time, and we have to say that choosing you as our photographers was the best decision we made out of all those we made in relation to our wedding.
 
Our wedding was what it should be...the best day of our lives...and the beautiful photographs and storybook album you have since designed for us will store the memories of the day long after our memories of it recede a little..
 
We were fairly laid back about our wedding (we may be biased but that is why we think it was so good) and the relaxed style in which  you went about the photographic business complemented that perfectly and added to our day !!
 
We didn't realise when we were looking for a photographer just how much work goes into end result of the pictures, the obvious work is the physical effort that goes in on the big day...from the moment you arrive to photograph the bride and bridesmaid (in the chaos of the preparations)...through to finally leaving in the evening..but the work that then also goes into preparing the photographs and album is immeasurable.
 
The storybook album you produced for us is fantastic, us and anybody who has seen it absolutely love it..Thankyou
 
We would have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and family, and indeed we already have !
 
Keep in touch

To Martin and Jo,

We would like to say a very sincere thank you to you both. You both rescued us when we were let down by a different photographer and your photographs are truly amazing!! You helped us relax and captured the day in its truest form; there will be no hesitation recommending you both to family and friends. Our friends that sadly could not make the day, said that they really felt they had been there after seeing your photos.
The photos are absolutely perfect, and we will never bore of looking at them. We hope you both enjoyed our day as much as we enjoyed having you there.

Thank you both so very much, we can not thank you enough.
 

All the best, N & C - RAF Cranwell, College Hall, Sleaford, Lincolnshire

Martin & Jo,

Just can't thank you enough.

Thank you so much for all you did for us at our wedding. I can not believe how much I love looking at our photo's.

We received the album yesterday and we are both sooooooooooooooo pleased with it, we took it to show our parents last night and they can not believe how good it is. Many many MANY thanks for all you have done, we are so pleased with the whole service and would with out doubt recommend you to all our family and friends

Lots of love & Thanks

E & D - St Lawrence Church, Alton and Alton Maltings Centre, Alton, Hampshire.

We needed someone who could capture our personalities whilst also managing to keep tradition in mind. Dobege Photography (Martin and Jo) were the perfect choice.
 
Whilst maintaining a relaxed atmoshphere all throughout capturing our special day, whilst seemingly blending into the occasion and being creative and stylish are the main reasons we will recommend Dobege Photography to anyone who needs outstanding results.
 
Our biggest thank you to Martin and Jo - Like our guests with big cameras!!!

A & R - St Albans Registry Office and The White Horse Hotel, Hertingfordbury.

To Martin & Joanna,

Thank you so much for doing a great job of photographing our wedding day.

All our guests commented on how professional and nice you were and how they didn't even notice you were there most of the time.

We love the photos and will hopefully one day be able to afford to get you to do us a Graphistudio album!

Thanks, Love. A & S (July 2007) - United Reformed Church, Gatley and Wythenshawe Hall, Manchester

We chose Dobege Photography for our wedding as we liked the fact that the website had plenty of good quality, recent, photographs to look at - which gave us a good idea of what we could expect (a lot of other websites we looked at only put up a few pictures, or used old ones).  From the time of our initial enquiry, Martin and Jo were incredibly helpful and professional, and nothing was too much trouble for them.  Their preparations for the big day were very thorough and they were excellent at communicating with us throughout the build up to the wedding, which gave us one less thing to worry about! 
 
On the day itself, Martin and Jo arrived bang on time and were brilliant at getting lots of great shots without interrupting the flow of the day too much.  They stayed much later than we expected them to (at no extra charge) and worked really hard all day.  Upon our return from honeymoon, Martin called us within a day to tell us our photo 'proofs' were ready to view on the web.  We're really pleased with the pictures, and I think we'll struggle to choose which ones we want for the album as there are so many good ones!
 
As well as providing excellent quality pictures, Martin and Jo are really friendly and a pleasure to work with.   We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dobege to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
 
K and M (June 2007) - Manchester Registry Office and Chancellors Hotel - Manchester

We changed to Dobege Photography after seeing them on a wedding forum.  Due to the distance we talked several times by phone or email to discuss our needs and tailor the package and after that it was nothing but plain sailing.  They were not only there as photographers but as advisors to every aspect of our wedding, they always answered any questions we had and made us feel 100% confident that they would do the best possible job of our day.
 
I can easily say that was just the case, they were a god send throughout the day even so far as Jo announcing us arriving at the venue, they were unobtrusive only advising when needed for group shots etc, they were a calming influence throughout the day and we couldn't have asked for more.  Our photos are perfect, I know I'll never get bored of looking at them and will be certainly using Dobege Photography in the future once our family grows for those special occasions. 

Thanks Martin and Jo we couldn't have done it without you.
