We booked The Salty Shutter for our wedding in 2019 and it was the best decision we made!Dane is incredibly talented - his photos and story telling are next level. I feel so grateful to have stumbled upon his Instagram page and to have had him photograph our day.I highly recommend Dane to everyone. So, if you’re looking for a photographer for your special day, definitely get in touch with Dane!

Experienced for a day and cherished for a lifetime. Dane’s work is amazing! Great talent and skills. Nothing awkward/ cheesy or overly posed and edited. He is chill to work with and had great ideas for shots yet also captured fun, genuine candid moments. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out incredible and we absolutely love them. Thanks Dane!

Dane photographed our wedding in March, and we could not recommend him if you are after authentic, super candid photographs that catapult you back in time to the joy bomb that was your wedding or occasion over and over again.Both my husband and I feel pretty awkward being photographed but Dane somehow made that all disappear, anchoring us in the moment with his prompts and suggestions, and making everything seem light, effortless and relaxed. He somehow managed to capture our whole story, along with all the warmth and love that surrounded us on the day. He's like a photo ninja, whenever there was a moment worthy of remembering, he was there.We are honestly in awe of his work, the photos are nothing short of magic and we have not stopped gushing over them on the daily. Dane is as chilled out as he is professional, super sincere and reliable with the type of contagious energy and wicked sense of humour that you absolutely want around you on your wedding day. All this plus bucketloads of talent. If you're considering booking Dane for your event, do it immediately, it will be one of the best decisions you make.

The Salty Shutter completely exceeded our expectations! He is so incredibly talented and the photos are works of art we will treasure forever. We have had so many compliments on the photos. He was also a joy to have with us on the day! No awkward posing, he just captured us having a brilliant time, which is exactly what we wanted.

As I said to Dane, his talent doesn't just lie in photography but time travel! He absolutely captured the very essence of our wedding day. The images we recived are the most beautiful time capsule of the day and we are eternally grateful. He seeks out emotion and bottles the moment. There was no awkward posing with Dane at our wedding day, only unbridled joy and presence. If you are thinking of booking Dane I recommend scrolling through his Instagram after a few glasses of wine. You'll find yourself welling up at images of strangers and you won't be able to help yourself. Don't worry, you've made the right choice! Dane, we truly can't thank you enough.

We are so thrilled that we managed to get Dane to shoot our wedding at Audley Dance Hall! We loved the vibrancy and mood of his photographs and we knew he'd do an amazing job at those, but Dane is also a complete legend and made the whole process so easy and fun for us. In the lead up he was incredibly helpful, giving us his advice on timing on and how to make things work. On the day, he took all the pictures we wanted and all of the ones we didn't know that he wanted, and was an absolute joy to be around the whole day. We have absolutely no hesitation recommending him to anyone out there!

WOW WOW WOW! Words can not describe the fantastic service this man delivers. Dane is an absolute professional shown from day 1. Upon meeting him we knew he was going to be perfect for our special day as he felt like a friend rather than a stranger. It was like we had known him for years, we were comfortable and relaxed with him and knew he would deliver. On the day Dane was incredible, we never once felt pressured or awkward around him. The photos say it all, he captured the most special moments and the moments we never want to forget. Each photo tells a story whether it be a sombre moment, or a moment filled with joy and happiness. I would highly recommend Dane to anyone who is looking for your photographs to be real and to tell a story. Dane is a wonderful person who only wants to share the best for you on whatever style your special day may be. He is flexible and willing to make you days memories the most spectacular they possibly can be!
